Confession.

                                                                        Confession.

 

We can “Confess”, and we can “Tell”.

 

Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not “cover up my iniquity”.  I said, “I will ‘confess’ my transgressions to the Lord”.  And you forgave the guilt of my sin.  

(Psalms 32:5)

 

God knows all our sins, even ones that we do not know.

“Telling” God about our sins is, just that, “Telling” God about our sins.

 

Our Daily Nugget

is letting us know that “forgiveness” from God is available when we “confess” our sins to God; “forgiveness” is not available when we “only tell” our sins to God.  To confess our sin today, while “planning” on committing that sin again tomorrow is “Mocking God”, not “Confessing to God”.  The Bible says, “God is not Mocked”.

 

To receive forgiveness of sins, mere “acknowledgement” of them is not enough.  There “must be remorse”.  There must also be “repentance”.  (Seedbed)

  

Confession – The act of acknowledging one’s sins to God and asking for forgiveness.

Mock – To tease or laugh at someone in a contemptuous or scornful way. The Bible

             condemns mockers as foolish, unrighteous, and arrogant. 

Repentance – Is more than just telling God about our sin, it is a “commitment” to a

                       “new path and a new relationship with God”.

 

Each Kingdom Citizen, who “expects God to forgive us of our sins”, “must have” a heart/mind to stop doing that sin.  Jesus “did not die for us to be able to sin as much as we like and just tell Him about our sin”, and to have Him say, Thank You for telling me about your sin, “now it’s okay to go forth and sin some more”.  

 

If sincerity and truth does not precede confession, “it is not confession it is only telling”. Just telling God about our sins is not confession.  If we do not get this right before we die, don’t be surprised at the judgement to hear God say, “Depart from Me you wicked person, I Never Knew You”!  We cannot play God for a fool!

 

Ask God to Bless you with The Fear of the Lord. 

This Fear is to Hate what God hates and to Love what God loves. 

The Fear of the Lord leads us to True Confessions, with a Repented Heart/Mind.

A Spirit of Sincerity and Truth is what will lead us to Confession and Repentance.

The Heart/Mind.

                                                                        The Heart/Mind. The Heart/Mind of Christ or the Heart/Mind of Satan?   Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be “likeminded”, “Having the Same Love”, “being of one accord, of one mind”.   “Let nothing be done” through “strife or vainglory”; but in “lowliness of mind (heart) let each esteem other better than themselves”.   Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.   “Let This Mind (Heart) Be In You”, “which was also in Christ Jesus”.   (Philippians 2:2-5) The Heart/Mind of Christ is “A Priceless Blessing”; Available to Us. Our Daily Nugget is Paul letting the Church at Philippi and us know that Kingdom Citizens should be “Of One Mind (Heart/Thinking)”.   Since we have One Lord, One ...

Real Strength!

                                                                           Real Strength!   “Real Strength” is Humility - “Real Weakness” is Pride.. In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders.   All of you, clothe yourselves with “humility” toward one another, because   “God Opposes the proud” but Shows “Favor” to the Humble”.   “Humble yourselves”, therefore under God’s Mighty Hand, that He may lift you up in due time.   Cast all your anxiety on Hum “Because He Cares For You”. (1 Peter5:5&6) The Humbled Heart/Mind has God Fighting For Them;   “That’s Real Strength”, “That’s God’s Favor”! Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that “We All Need To Clothe Ourselves in Humility”, because; God opposes the Proud, and that God “Shows Favor to the ...
