Father. I thank You for the blood of Jesus that cleanses me from all my sin. I come before You in the name of Jesus and ask to be restored to a right relationship with You and my brothers and sisters in Christ.
Father, Your Word says that if I confess my sin, You are faithful, forgive me, and cleanse me from all unrighteousness.
Knowing that I can draw near to You with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having my heart sprinkled from an evil conscience and my body washed with the pure water of your word.
Be gracious to me. Father. Blot out my transgression. Wash me thoroughly from this iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. It is only against You, Lord, that I have sinned and done what is evil in Your sight. I ask Your forgiveness.
Have you ever heard anyone say, “I may forgive, but I’ll never forget?” That’s a second-rate kind of forgiveness that you, as a believer, are never supposed to settle for. You’re to forgive supernaturally “even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”
Once you’ve forgiven a person, you need to consider him permanently forgiven. When old feelings rise within you and Satan tries to convince you that you haven’t really forgiven, resist him. Say, “No, I’ve already forgiven that person by faith. I refuse to dwell on those old feelings.”
Pray this prayer:
Father, I forgive all the people that have sinned against me and that have offended me. I ask that you forgive me in every way that I have held them in unforgiveness. I receive Your forgiveness and I release them to You in Jesus’ Name AMEN.
Do not compare our own measly understanding to that of God’s! God created us and everything. Who are we to say that we know this or that to be true? All that we know is because the Lord allows us to know it. Thanks be to God.
Sanctification means turning away from evil and moving toward the things of God with all your heart. It is not a one-time event. Moreover, it is an ongoing process, we have to choose Christ.
