8:17 AM

These series of encounters that I have been having sitting in my chair have been intense. This is what I prayed for an encounter with the Lord that far reached my experience that forces me to bow my need to him.

I am putting down my corona…though I like and my pen…tho it helps me feel good. I am willfully trading those things for my relationship with the Lord.

This is something I could have done long ago. But I waited to when it best suited me and the fact is that it never did help.

To think I would be better off I would have just given up sooner. Non the less it is brand new day. And I intend to take advantage of the gift called the present.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I love the tension in the text….. IF we confess…HE is FAITHFUL. IF implies we may or may not but the latter statement  resolves a truth. HE IS FAITHFUL and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

The bar of soap in my bathroom has an ultimate amount of cleaning power. If I choose to use it is faithful to cleanse…not because I am so good or because water is water, but because the bar maintains in cleaning power regardless of my use or lack thereof.
 

The blood still works regardless of if I apply it or not. The difference is if I don’t apply it…It  wont work on me but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work…I am lacking.

We are lacking. We are where the operator has applies IF knowing our frame there is a choice laid out before us consistently that we must respond to if we wish harness and experience the cleansing power of Christ blood.
