Simple Prayer to be Like You

Sanctified but Not Sinless, February 27

Chapter 4 — Confession


“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13.


The conditions of obtaining mercy of God are simple and just and reasonable. The Lord does not require us to do some grievous thing in order that we may have the forgiveness of sin. We need not make long and wearisome pilgrimages, or perform painful penances, to commend our souls to the God of heaven or to expiate our transgression; but he that confesseth and forsaketh his sin shall have mercy.


The apostle says, “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.” James 5:16. Confess your sins to God, who only can forgive them, and your faults to one another. If you have given offense to your friend or neighbor, you are to acknowledge your wrong, and it is his duty freely to forgive you. Then you are to seek the forgiveness of God, because the brother you have wounded is the property of God, and in injuring him you sinned against his Creator and Redeemer. The case is brought before the only true Mediator, our great High Priest, who


“was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin,” and who is “touched with the feeling of our infirmities,” and is able to cleanse from every stain of iniquity. Hebrews 4:15.


Those who have not humbled their souls before God in acknowledging their guilt, have not yet fulfilled the first condition of accep- [38]


tance. If we have not experienced that repentance which is not to be repented of, and have not with true humiliation of soul and brokenness of spirit confessed our sins, abhorring our iniquity, we have never truly sought for the forgiveness of sin; and if we have never sought, we have never found the peace of God. The only reason why we do not have remission of sins that are past is that we are not willing to humble our hearts and comply with the conditions of the word of truth. Explicit instruction is given concerning this matter.


Confession of sin, whether public or private, should be heartfelt and freely expressed. It is not to be urged from the sinner. It is not to be made in a flippant and careless way, or forced from those who have no realizing sense of the abhorrent character of sin. The confession that is the outpouring of the inmost soul finds its way to the God of infinite pity. The psalmist says, “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” Psalm 34:18.


True confession is always of a specific character, and acknowledges particular sins. They may be of such a nature as to be brought before God only; they may be wrongs that should be confessed to individuals who have suffered injury through them; or they may be of a public character, and should then be as publicly confessed. But all confession should be definite and to the point, acknowledging the very sins of which you are guilty.


In the days of Samuel the Israelites wandered from God. They were suffering the consequences of sin; for they had lost their faith in God, lost their discernment of His power and wisdom to rule the nation, lost their confidence in His ability to defend and vindicate His cause. They turned from the great Ruler of the universe and desired to be governed as were the nations around them. Before they found peace they made this definite confession: “We have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.” 1 Samuel 12:19. The very sin of which they were convicted had to be confessed. Their ingratitude oppressed their souls and severed them from God.

Chapter 4—Confession

Trying to fit in

We are in the Last Great Awaking. And in this time truth and error battle for the heart and mind. The Father of Light and the father of lies are playing out the end game. The Prince of Peace and the prince of darkness vie for the throne of your heart and mind. We will be either sealed for eternal life or marked for destruction. There are no thousand years of peace upon this world. The nations will never be one under an earthly government. That kingdom will only come after this earth and the kingdom of darkness have been made to take their thousand year sabbath while we are in Heaven reviewing the cases of men and angels. Only when we return to this earth from our time in Heaven, and the wicked are finally destroyed, and all things are made new, and Jesus is truly King of Kings can we breath a sigh of relief.

Deceived, Deluded, Occupied & Entranced

[Verse 1]

The Bible speaks of a city far beyond the sky

 Built by the hands of Jesus for His children to abide

 I know there will be shouting and singing 'round God's throne

 Oh Lord I get so home sick just thinking of it all.


[Chorus]

 The walls are made of jasper;

 the streets of purest gold.

 The Tree of Life is standing

 where the Living Waters flow.

 It soon shall be descending

 from Heaven up above.

 When God sets up His kingdom

 and fills it with His love.


[Verse 2]

 The lame shall then be walking;

 the captive will be free

 The deaf ears will be hearing;

 the blinded eye shall see.

 Our Savior will be with us,

 no burdens we shall bear.

 So hold on faithful pilgrims, 

for we shall soon be there. 


[Chorus]

The walls are made of jasper;

 the streets of purest gold.

 The Tree of Life is standing

 where the Living Waters flow.

 It soon shall be descending

 from Heaven up above.

 When God sets up His kingdom

 and fills it with His love.


[Outro]

 When God sets up His kingdom...and fills it with His love.



When God Sets Up His Kingdom

[Verse 1]
In the shadows where the darkness lays,  
I found a light that guides my ways.  
Through the valleys and the endless night,  
Your grace, it lifts me, takes me to flight.

A whisper in the storm, a hand to hold,  
Your mercy’s a story forever told.

[Chorus]
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,  
In your arms, lost is never found.  
You set me free, you break my chains,  
With you, my heart forever remains.

[Verse 2]
When the burdens seem too heavy to bear,  
I feel your presence, you’re always there.  
In my failures, when I lose my way,  
Your love restores me, come what may.

With every tear, you collect my pain,  
In your embrace, I rise again.

[Chorus]
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,  
In your arms, lost is never found.  
You set me free, you break my chains,  
With you, my heart forever remains.

[Outro]
From darkness to light, I’ll never stray,  
Your grace, my guide, come what may.

2020 Foresight: It's All Gonna Burn

Beautiful piano soft female voice singing "Until Then" hymn.

Lyrics:
My heart can sing when I pause to remember
A heartache here is but a stepping stone
Along a trail that's winding always upward,
This troubled world is not my final home.

Chorus:
But until then my heart will go on singing,
Until then with joy I'll carry on
Until the day my eyes behold the city,
Until the day God calls me home.

The things of earth will dim and lose their value
If we recall they're borrowed for a while;
And things of earth that cause the heart to tremble,
Remembered there will only bring a smile.

But until then my heart will go on singing,
Until then with joy I'll carry on
Until the day my eyes behold the city,
Until the day God calls me home.

Until Then

Near the Cross Vintage Country Version

Jesus, keep me near the cross;
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calvary's mountain.

In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the bright and Morning Star
Sheds its beams around me.

Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadows o'er me.

Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.

Near the Cross

A haunting rendition of the popular hymn "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?"

Lyrics
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?

Were you there when they pierced Him in the side?
Were you there when they pierced Him in the side?
O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, (tremble), (tremble).
Were you there when they pierced Him in the side?

Were you there when the sun refused to shine?
Were you there when the sun refused to shine?
O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, (tremble), (tremble).
Were you there when the sun refused to shine?

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, (tremble), (tremble).
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

Were you there when they rolled away the stone?
Were you there when they rolled away the stone?
O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, (tremble), (tremble).
Were you there when they rolled away the stone?

Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?
