“When God Doesn’t Listen to Us”

“When God Doesn’t Listen to Us”

 

If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.   Psalm 66:18

 

CONFESSION and REPENTANCE are VERY IMPORTANT in God’s PLAN of SALVATION.   

Confession is the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of UNCONFESSED sin.  This is truly a step in the RIGHT DIRECTION.  Along with ACKNOWLEDGEMENT comes REPENTANCE, which is a DEEP SORROW for those SINS, and is also the TURNING AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURNING TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And these ACTS of SALVATION keep us RIGHT with GOD, which was made POSSIBLE through the DEATH, the SHEDDING of the BLOOD, the BURIAL, and the RESURRECTION of JESUS. CHRIST, the ONLY SON, of the LIVING GOD.

Then when one becomes a TRUE CHILD of the LIVING GOD, and will CONFESS (acknowledge) their SINS DAILY, He is FAITHFUL and JUST to FORGIVE them of their SINS, and when they PRAY to GOD, He WILL LISTEN.  God is a HOLY GOD and cannot, in any way, CONDONE a SINFUL HEART, which results in GOD’S NOT LISTENING to US when we PRAY. 

With the TRUE BELIEVER, they MUST CONFESS ANY UNCONFESSED SIN that is LURKING around in their HEART, so that their RELATIONSHIP with GOD can be RESTORED. HOWEVER, with the UNBELIEVER, the ONLY PRAYER God HEARS is FIRST, the PRAYER of REPENTANCE, and the ACCEPTANCE of God’s GIFT of SALVATION through the SHED BLOOD of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. And the WILLINGNESS to BEGIN a NEW LIFE, and a NEW ETERNAL DESTINY. 

This is what you MUST DO, if you do NOT have a RELATIONSHIP with GOD, through the LORD JESUS:  You MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS DIED for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before GOD,  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to HIM and ask HIM for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT Heart.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s GIFT of SALVATION and receive a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with GOD, and then GOD WILL LISTEN to you when you PRAY.  REMEMBER: to CONFESS ALL SINS FIRST.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON.  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
