Heart Searching For Prayer Preparation and Personal Revival
“Search me, O God, and know my heart: test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24)
Confession of sin is necessary for fellowship with God and revival among God’s people. Prayerfully consider the following questions. Go through these questions one by one. Answer truthfully each question. Every yes means a sin in your life.
In reading these questions, as you are convicted of sin, confess it at once to God. Be willing to make it right, then, you can claim forgiveness. First John 1:9 says, “if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Be sure to name our sin to God. For example, “Lord, I have not put you first in my plans;” or “I have neglected thy Word and prayer.” Do not make even the least excuse for sin of any kind in your life. “He who conceals his sin does not prosper; but whoever confesses and renounces them find mercy” (Proverbs 28:13).
No matter what others do, or do not do, Christian, leave nothing undone on your part. God wants to work through you to bring about a great spiritual awakening. He can begin by your fulfilling every requirement shown by the Lord through the Holy Spirit and the Word. A revival from the presence of the Lord begins today … if you desire it! (Read the Scriptures first. Ask the question. Give a truthful answer, yes or no.)
