Do you feel distant from God??? Confession If you feel distant from God today, begin your time alone with Him in confession. Start with repentance and the confession of sin.
The Bible says: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” — 1 John 1:9 NKJV
Often when we feel far from God just like Adam did after he sinned it may be because there is sin present in our heart. Sometimes it’s obvious, but other times it’s subtle: an idol we’ve let in, a careless word spoken against someone, gossip, bitterness, or even a thought we entertained about another person. These are inward sins hidden, but still very real.
What happens is this: sin leaves an impression on your conscience. It leaves a mark. Your conscience is the part of you that either draws you near to God with confidence or causes you to shrink back and hide. That’s why Scripture speaks of having a pure conscience. • “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” — Hebrews 9:14 NKJV • “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.” — Hebrews 10:22 NKJV • “Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith.” — 1 Timothy 1:5 NKJV
This is why confession is so important. Some people may ask, “If Jesus died for my sins, why do I need to confess?” The answer is this: confession is an act of humility and repentance that restores fellowship with God and keeps your conscience clear. Without it, sin builds up and creates distance. With it, your heart is cleansed and free to approach Him.
Confession clears away guilt and shame so that you can boldly approach Him: • “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” — Hebrews 4:16 NKJV
So take time with Him. Get quiet and pray: “Lord, show me any sins I’ve committed against You or against others that I may not even be aware of.” When He brings something to mind, confess it. If you need to make things right with someone, do so. If you spoke against someone, bless them and pray for them.
When you do this, you’ll find yourself stepping into a new freedom, entering into a beautiful time of closeness with the Lord.
Intimacy is the number one thing we have to protect!
I’m sorry for the things you’ve been through. I’m sorry for the hurts you carried as a child the pains, the rejections, the betrayals, the moments of trauma and fear. I’m sorry. I’m sorry that many of these things have shaped your life and shaped who you became. But you were innocent. And in the eyes of God, you are innocent.
The blood of Jesus restores your purity and your innocence. You are not your mistakes. You are not your pain. You are not your hurts. God wants you to know you are pure in His eyes. God wants you to know that He is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Precious Beloved, you are His child. And there is nothing no person, no demon, no power in this universe that can separate you from that kind of love. His love is relentless. His love is moving. His love is powerful. His love has restored you.
Would you receive what His love has accomplished through the cross of His Son, Jesus, by faith today?
I’m praying over you, Beloved. And I bless you. I bless you. I bless you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. May you prosper and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
“I was driving today, and this thought came to my heart: Jesus saved me. He really, really saved me.
And as I said that, I began to step into that reality again. I began to live in it. I felt resurrection power on the inside of me welling up like a river, like a fountain. I felt life. I felt joy. I felt strength begin to rise up in my spirit.
Remember in Ephesians 1:19 it says that there is resurrection power at work in us. There’s a power that is unmeasurable, and it goes on to say that it’s the same power that rose Jesus from the grave but it’s this power at work in us who believe.
So remember this our belief activates this resurrection power. Faith is what activates it. Your belief has to be in God’s Word. And when you believe, you can begin to step into the reality of what God has done in your life—sonship, salvation, transformation, becoming a new creation. Your faith activates the power of God, the power of the Holy Spirit, in your life.
That’s the reality we’re called to walk in every single day. Jesus saved me. Let that be more than just words let it be a fountain in you today. Let it shine like a light. Let it stir something inside your spirit.
The Bible says: ‘He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love’ (Colossians 1:13 NKJV).
That word “saved” in the Greek is sozo—it means to be made whole, preserved, delivered, healed. He has healed me, delivered me, preserved me. I am really saved by Him.
Praise be to God! Walk in that reality today it will bring joy, and the joy of the Lord will be your strength. In Jesus’ name, love y’all.”
Religious striving is often rooted in fear, not holiness.
When people become overly religious like refusing to read any Bible translation except one, or thinking they can’t enjoy a simple movie night with their family game night , or that rest and fun somehow take away from their holiness it’s usually not about righteousness. It’s about insecurity and fear.
At the root of that mindset is a belief that Christ’s righteousness isn’t enough, and that they have to add to it through performance, rule-keeping, or external appearance.
But the Word says:
“He who knew no sin became sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” — 2 Corinthians 5:21
Our righteousness isn’t earned it’s received by faith in Jesus. It’s not maintained by rules, but by abiding in Him.
Now, yes there are some things that believers shouldn’t entertain. Holiness does matter. But when you can’t even enjoy a family meal, a clean movie, a day at the park, or a laugh with your kids—because you think those things are “less spiritual” you’re missing the revelation that Christ came to unify all of life under His Lordship.
“Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:31
When Christ is truly Lord of your life, everything becomes sacred—not just your prayer time, but your family time, your meals, your rest, your joy.
This is my heart for you Let’s break off striving. Let’s renounce false religion that wears people out. Let’s stop trying to prove we’re holy, and instead rest in the holiness that Jesus purchased for us.
He didn’t die just to change our Sunday behavior. He died to unite every part of our life family, rest, work, worship under His grace and glory.
This past Sunday, we went to the heart of LA and watched Heaven invade. On the Santa Monica Pier, many surrendered drugs, witchcraft, and their old ways—then were baptized in the Pacific Ocean.
Revival is here.
Let’s keep praying for God to pour out His Spirit on this generation!
