Prayer Offered in Faith -2

Sep8

Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
James 5:16 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.5.16.NASB2995

Confession of our sins to one another is not for condemnation but for healing by the power of faithful prayer for one another.

Jesus paid the price for our benefit, to be healed from the power of sin and to live in righteousness.

🌹and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.

A Gift of Love

Dec23

By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:9-10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.9-10.NASB1995

See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
1 John 3:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.3.1.NASB1995

Do you know Jesus, the greatest Christmas gift anyone could receive? If not, would you like to receive this gift? Simply admit you are a sinner in need of a Savior and . . .

. . . confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
Romans 10:9-10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.10.9-10.NASB1995

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.15.NASB1995

See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.
2 Thessalonians 3:5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2th.3.5.NASB1995

If you made a decision and prayed asking God into your life, tell someone. Seek God through His word, prayer and a Bible believing church. Grow in the knowledge of God as you walk this path of life.

🌹The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

Saved For a Relationship

May21

that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
Romans 10:9 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.10.9.NASB1995

Wedding day. Two excited, anxious hearts awaiting the “I Do’s”. The groom stands at the front of the church. Here comes the bride to join him. They confess their love to one another and at the end of the service they go live their own lives. . . Wait. . . Rewind.

Is this the way we are when it comes to the marriage of Christ and the church? Christ and a professing believer?

“I walked the aisle.” “I confessed that Jesus is Lord and that He was raised from the dead.” Now that I’m saved I’m insured . . . I mean assured a place in heaven, right?

At salvation our life, our walk with Christ, begins. It is an everyday, growing all the way, surrendered relationship with God. It is daily communication – prayer, Bible reading. It is confessing the work of Christ in our lives – testimonies. It is bringing others to the altar of confession for redemption.

It is living ‭
so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:10-11 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.2.10-11.NASB1995

‭Are you living a separate life from Jesus? Or are you walking with Him all the way to the promised land?

🌹I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,

The Potter-Day 2

Sep19

that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
Romans 10:9‭-‬10 NASB

So, have you confessed with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believed in your heart that God raised Him from the dead? Then you are saved. . . Now the transformation begins.

Remember the lump of clay from yesterday (September 18, 2023)? Well, clay is now placed on a spinning wheel and water is put onto the clay to cover it. . . Transformation can then begin.

Baptism follows confession and belief in Jesus Christ. It is the proclamation of our salvation.

Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:4 NASB

As the clay is covered in water, we as confessing believers are baptized in water.

🌹Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38 NASB

I hope you’ll come back tomorrow for another devotion on The Potter.

Unconfessed Sin

May29

I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I did not hide; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord”; And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah.
Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You in a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach him.
Psalms 32:5‭-‬6 NASB

Sin separates our fellowship with God.
Unconfessed sin makes us vulnerable to the troubles and evils of this world. Therefore let us, who are godly, confess our sin to the Lord while He can be found. Acknowledge our sin as soon as possible so the flood of troubles, temptation, fiery darts of the evil one will not reach us.

🌹If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9 NASB

Times of Refreshing

May26

I came across a testimony I had written back in October of 2020. It was a sweet reminder of what an awesome God we have.

Sometimes we get so caught up in the day to day, the “old grind”, as some have called it, that we forget to notice God. We look inward at all the things going wrong around us and in us. We begin to become self-focused and then comes the “pity party”.

What are we to do then, face to face with our sin of self-focus? When our dependence and focus is on ourselves, we need to confess before God, ask forgiveness, and also ask God to help stop this pity party. Then, listen, accept the forgiveness and wait.

I have found that when I mess up big time and confess, God blesses.

I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I did not hide; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord”; And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah.
Psalms 32:5 NASB

How blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit!
Psalms 32:2 NASB

🌹Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;
Acts 3:19 NASB

Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5:5 NASB

By faith in You, Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner and in need of a Savior. Everyone is a sinner, as Your Scripture reveals, but it also reveals the promise that by faith in Jesus Christ the righteousness of God would be manifested, would be given to those who believe. And those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God overcomes the world. Out of Your love and care for Your creation, You have commanded that we believe in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ, Lord God, and love one another. Your commandments are not burdensome but freeing. Thank You for loving me and for Your Scripture that guides me, shows me how to walk in step with You through obedience. To You, Almighty Sovereign God, be glory forever, amen.
Romans 3:22/Galatians 3:22/1 John 3:23 NASB

1 John 4:13-15

Sep23

By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:13‭-‬15 NASB

How awesome a God You are! Blessing me with Your Holy Spirit! Thank You, God, for the assurance of knowing You abide in me because of Your awesome gift of the Holy Spirit. I am no longer in the flesh but in the Spirit. I belong to You, Lord God!!!
Under the power of the Holy Spirit I will testify and proclaim eternal life through Jesus Christ who was with the Father and was being manifested to us, the Savior of the world. For You, Father, did not send Your Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. “The one who confesses the Son has the Father also”. For this I am eternally grateful, God. Thank You.
I confess with my mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in my heart that You, almighty God raised Him from the dead! Thank You, Father, for my salvation. In the name of my Redeemer I pray, amen.
Romans 8:9/1 John 1:2/John 3:17/1 John 2:23/Romans 10:9 NASB

1 John 4:2-3

Sep16

By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
1 John 4:2‭-‬3 NASB

I confess that Jesus, the Son of God, has come in the flesh from You God my Father. His life was manifested to us by the Father and seen. His disciples and others throughout generations have testified and proclaimed, even today, the eternal life that comes through Jesus Christ. Jesus, You are the Word become flesh, who dwelt among us, and we saw Your glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. Thank You for making it known, through the Word, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. The one who does not confess Jesus is not from God. There is no humbleness in the spirit that opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple (church) of God, displaying himself as being God. Protect me, Your people, Your church from those who have the “spirit of the antichrist”. Lord I pray You help us to recognize them by our knowing and remembering Your teachings. In Jesus, the Living Truth, I ask and pray. Amen.
1 John 1:2/John 1:14/1 Corinthians 12:3/
2 Thessalonians 2:4 NASB

🌹Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.

Aug9

Prayer:
Jesus, Savior, Redeemer! Praise and glory to Your name!! You who purifies the souls of people for Your own possession, purify me for Your glory so as to be zealous for good deeds.
I acknowledge my sin to You, And my iniquity I do not hide. I will confess my transgressions to You, my Lord for You forgive the guilt of my sin. I will not conceal my transgressions for I want to prosper for Your kingdom purpose. Shower Your compassion upon me as I confess and forsake my sinful ways.
God, You are so faithful and righteous to forgive my sins and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Thank You Lord for Your compassion, forgiveness, and clothing me in Your righteousness! For this I am truly grateful. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.
Titus 2:14/Psalm 32:5/Proverbs 28:13 NASB
