Unconfessed Sin


We all have sinned; some of us harbor unconfessed sin though which interferes with the way we think of, and commune with God. This is not good since we will likely stop listening and praying to God when we try to hide our sins from Him. We tend to avoid Him so we don’t have to deal with that “secret” sin. Remember how Adam tried to hide his sin in the Garden of Eden? We can, thanks to our wonderful, Lord Jesus, re-open our wonderful channels to God through our confession and repentance. We don’t ever want to be separated from Him. We can always trust God to forgive us of our sins because He said He would when we ask Him to. Once we have confessed our sin to Him we will be forgiven and we can again rely on His leading us in our loving, grateful service to Him. By our confession we rededicate our lives to Him.

Is there some unconfessed sin in your life? What is separating you from God? This is your time for re-dedication, take the time to pray and confess any hidden sin to God. (Psalm 32:1-4) Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, / whose sin is covered. / Blessed be the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, / and in whose spirit there is no deceit. God has promised to forgive us of all our sins. From time to time we may slip away from God. Now is the time to commit your heart to obedience to God’s Word. Take the time to share your re-commitment with another Christian who will pray with you. Fellow Christians are our great encouragers and God wants us to be joined together with them.

The apostle Paul in his epistle to the Romans wrote; Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts (Romans 6:11, 12).

APPROVED

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). (2 Timothy 2:14-26) instructs those whom He knows are His ; and don’t we aspire to be recognized as such, to be approved by God? He tells us to avoid godless chatter (gossip), because we will become more and more ungodly. God warns that what we say can affect others, even destroying the faith of some. Heaven forbid we should say anything to do such damage!   Approved we flee the evil desires of youth we pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace. We don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because we know they only produce quarrels. As God’s servants we mustn’t quarrel; instead we must be kind, able to teach, and be not resentful.   Approved we are to gently instruct those who oppose us, hoping God will grant them repentance and lead them to the knowledge of His truth.

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...
