When We Confess He Forgives

 

Psalm 32:5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Praise God!! That's something to shout about!! When we confess our sin to the Lord, He forgives us and not only that, but the iniquity of our sin!! Whoo! Hoo!!

Now what does that mean?

Well, I got to looking up that word "iniquity" and here is what I found:

Iniquity defined in the dictionary means...a perversion of the truth which leads to error, a perversion of intent which affects our will.


The Hebrew meaning is...twisted, to be bent or crooked. The Lord then brought up to me that Iniquity causes you to justify your actions. Whoa!!


Iniquity is knowingly doing something over and over again that is contrary to the will of God and continuing in that sin even though you know what you should do!


You ignore that still small voice that says what you are doing is wrong and you need to repent. As you continue in it, it almost becomes a part of you.


How many times have you done that? Your hearing from God and your understanding of the Word becomes dull. And you wonder why your prayers aren't being answered.


How simple it is to just say...God, I come to you with an honest heart and ask that you show me any iniquity in my heart that is blocking me from hearing You. The moment you do that and He shows you something - repent right then! He is Ever Faithful to Forgive you!!

Isn't that AWESOME?!!!
God Love You So Very Much!!!

The Love Dare A Journey
Pastor Mitch Mosier is sharing his journey with us.

I took the “Love Dare” not because I have a bad marriage or an average marriage. The truth is I have a marriage made in heaven.
My wife and I have been married for 22 years.
So what prompted me to do this? It was the result of a simple prayer, I prayed one day.
I prayed “Lord let your power flow through me in a more significant way.”
I listened for the Lord to tell me the answer to what I’ve been praying for and the response I heard was out of Gen 1:26
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:…. I thought on that for a few days and the Holy Spirit prompted me to remember that “after our likeness” meant to function like God. I asked the Lord to show me how to function like Him. He reminded me that His Word tells us in 1 John 4:8 that God is Love. I understood that in order to function like Him, I must walk in love.

The answer to this prayer resulted in taking the “Love Dare”. I made the “Love Dare” my forty day journey. I am submitting to the Lord so he can teach me as I read through this “dare”. I put the statements from the book in quotations that especially spoke to me.
1Co 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

1Co 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

1Co 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

1Co 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

1Co 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

1Co 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

1Co 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

1Co 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
