Thank God for the opportunity to abide in His Word, fellowship with Him and draw from His power, strength and wisdom.\r\n\r\nWe are still talking about the model of prayer Jesus left us. We saw that effective prayer includes such elements as worship and thanksgiving, cooperation with God and petition.\r\n\r\nConfession of our sins before God is another element of effective prayer. I call this element \u201ea step towards inner healing\u201d. God cleanses and heals us from inside out. And one of the most important elements leading to the inner healing is confession of our sins before God and forgiving of other people\u2019s transgressions.\r\n<h6>\u00abAnd forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors\u00bb\u00a0(Mathew, 6:12).<\/h6>\r\nWhen we come to God in prayer, we must confess our sins and ask Him to heal us. Such a prayer brings healing and deep inner cleansing.\r\n<h6>\u00abIf we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness\u00bb\u00a0(1 John, 1:9).<\/h6>\r\nAfter confession God not only forgives us, but also cleanses us from all unrighteousness. Sin is poisonous and destroys person\u2019s life. Every time a person sins something dies in him &#8211; whether he believes it or not. Sometimes it is person\u2019s consciousness that dies within him. God\u2019s Word says that wages of sin is death.\r\n\r\nBut every time when someone deliberately comes to God and confesses his sins, something comes alive in him. The more you come into God\u2019s presence, the more you are filled with His life. We confess to God all the things the Holy Spirit convicts us of and ask God to forgive us.\r\n\r\nWe can also ask forgiveness for other people that have hurt us and have something against us.\r\n<h6>\u00abLooking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled\u00bb\u00a0(Hebrews, 12:15).<\/h6>\r\nUnforgiveness is the bitter root that makes us fall short of the grace of God. The Bible says that God forgives you if you forgive your offenders.\r\n<h6>\u00abAnd whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses\u00bb\u00a0(Mark, 11:25-26).<\/h6>\r\nMany problems and unanswered prayers occur because of lack of forgiveness. Some people think that the main thing is to have relationships with God and the rest is not as important. It is not so. It is impossible to live on this earth and not interact with people. Therefore, by giving and receiving forgiveness we build relationships with one another and that helps us get healed not just spiritually, but also physically.\r\n\r\nLet\u2019s not block God\u2019s grace and the blessings He has prepared for us through our unforgiveness.\r\n\r\nI wish abundant God\u2019s blessings on this day!\r\n\r\nHe is good &#8211; always!\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"God cleanses and heals us from inside out.
