Confession is good for the soul…

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God...John 3:19-21.

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever...1 John 2:15-17.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness...1 John 1:7-9.


Have you renounced satan, and this world…yes or no? Have you confessed your darkest sins to Jesus and asked what must you do to repent and be right with Him…yes or no? Jesus said the truth will set us free…we have to confess our sins or else we will not be bringing our darkness to the light for cleansing…may God grant us repentance and confession of sin!


Prayer

Father we renounce satan and the second beast which is in the world…please grant us repentance so we can be right with You…meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal us so we can walk with You in the truth…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Are you faithful…yes or no?


If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us...1 John 1:6-10. Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working...James 5:16. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God....1 John 4:15.


Have you broken one of God’s commandments?

1. Have you received from any other table other than the Creator and His Only Fathered Son Jesus Christ of Nazareth…Yes or No?

2. Have you Blasphemed or used God name in anything other than prayer or teaching…Yes or No?

3. Have you worshipped the created…Yes or No?

4. Have you kept yourself Holy so you can approach God in prayer or worship…Yes or No?

5. Have you honored your mom and dad…Yes or No?

6. Have you murdered…Yes or No?

7. Have you had sex outside of marriage…no adultery…Yes or No?

8. Have you stolen…Yes or No?

9. Have You born false witness…lied or supported a lie…Yes or No?

10. Have you coveted or wanted something or someone God has not given you…Yes or No?


If you have answered in the yes to breaking on of these commandments then you need to stop in repentance and confess to Jesus your sin and begin walking again in the light as He is in the Light and His blood will cleanse you from all sin.


Prayer

Father please have mercy on us and forgive us our sins and meet our soul’s deepest needs and confirm these truths to us in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen,

O God refine me like silver until You see your image in the reflection…pure.

O God refine me like silver until You see your image in the reflection…pure.

The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times...Psalms 12:6. The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb....Psalms 19:7-10. To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work...Titus 1:15-16.

 

Are you works or deeds based on the pure word of God…yes or no? Do you have a thus said the Lord for all you do…Authority from the New Testament of Christ…yes or no?

 

We can know the truth because Jesus said the truth sets us free from deception and lies from the evil one. The evil one deceives the nations and we must remain vigilant not to be deceived in and corrupt and cruel world of lies. Can you discern a lie…I can discern a liar easier than a lie because a liar always lies and if they lie to you once then you cannot trust them. May our lives be filled with truth tellers who do not withhold.

 

Prayer

Father please meet our needs and keep us pure so we can practice the truth without falling for another lie or liar…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
