GOD FORGIVES US WHEN WE CONFESS OUR SINS
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. – 1 John 1:9
The effects of repentance are bigger than we can imagine. When we truly repent, we sincerely regret what we did and we wish to never do it again. Any sin empowers the enemy to come against us, but when we sincerely repent, we cancel his right to hurt us. When we sin, we obey the enemy and not God, that is why every sin, gives the devil the right to hurt us. To repent, actually means to turn our back on sin and go the opposite direction. The devil’s plan is to destroy and stop us from fulfilling the call that the Lord has put upon our lives. After true repentance, God does not remember our sin anymore. The enemy has no legal ground to condemn anyone for forgiven sin, so when he tries to condemn us about something we have already been forgiven of, we should resist him in Jesus’ Name. When God has forgiven us, the enemy certainly has no right to condemn us (Romans 8:1).
Unconfessed sins separate us from God (Isaiah 59:2), and prevent us in communicating with Him. When we sincerely ask the Lord to forgive our sins, He forgives us, we can feel His presence again and He will continue to care for us, guard us, give us the power of the anointing with the Holy Spirit and favor in life as we need it.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Dear Lord, please forgive all my sins. I sincerely regret that my sins increased Your suffering on the cross. I should have to die for my own sins, but You took my place, though You never sinned. Please help me Lord, to never forget that the pleasure or so-called advantages of sin, are only momentary, while the cost is eternal. Please forgive me from the bottom of my heart for … (name the sin you are asking forgiveness for) and help me change and never do it again. Thank You Lord Jesus for Your sacrifice that has saved me. Glory and honor to Your holy Name! Amen.
