Marriages fail because of sin and resulting guilt. Sin is walking outside of God\u2019s will. It is doing what we know we are not supposed to be doing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Romans+3%3A23&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Romans 3:23<\/a> King James Version (KJV)<\/p><p><strong>23&nbsp;<\/strong>For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Holy Spirit convicts us. We live in times where we are told that we should do as we please. You only live once right? That one time must be done right. There is no doubt that we fall short of God\u2019s glory. We fail him, as we fail ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we hide our sins, our conscience eats at us. This is how we may end up finding ourselves to be ineffective in ministry. You cannot pray <g class=\"gr_ gr_151 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Punctuation only-del replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"151\" data-gr-id=\"151\">earnestly,<\/g> when you know there is guilt in the back of your mind.

The only problem is that the latter part of the verse is what we love to quote. We love the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/prayerrelay.com\/what-is-fervent-prayer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">effectual fervent prayer<\/a> of a righteous man availeth much. The key to this is the start of the verse. Confess on to another. When you confess, your sins are out in the open. They can no longer hold you hostage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Believe_and_confess\"><\/span>Believe and confess<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Romans+10%3A9&amp;version=NKJV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Romans 10:9<\/a> New King James Version (NKJV)<\/p><p><strong>9&nbsp;<\/strong>that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Even salvation is hinged on confession. It follows the following criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Believe<\/li><li>Confess<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p> Faith alone is not what births salvation. In fact, it is faith that should cause us to no longer want to hide our sin. We place it all on the table, before the Lord. We say &#8220;God I know I am a sinner, this is what I have done wrong.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Confession goes beyond our sin. It also includes confessing our belief in the Lord. Saying what we believe is important. Putting heaven and earth on notice. God promises that when we do these things, we will be saved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us make this practical. We will consider the areas in our lives where we tend to fall short of God&#8217;s glory. There are things that have seared our consciences. Our communities and those that we keep around us often shape our belief system. This is what sways us from where we know we are supposed to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purelifeministries.org\/blog\/the-searing-of-the-christian-conscience\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">conscience is seared<\/a>, sin does not seem like a sin. Our goal should always be to keep our mind focused on God alone. The church may lead you astray. Pastors will fall short and lead you astray. These are the things that sear our consciences. The mentality that says &#8220;My pastor said.&#8221; Instead, we should always be measuring the word of any man against that of the Lord. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PFvSN4fEloc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Politics_Nationalism\"><\/span>Politics &amp; Nationalism<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the most conscience searing issues we have today.

It presents itself in many forms. Sometimes fear is a form of hatred. The difficult part of all of this is that most of the things that we hate are things that we have been brought up to hate. We are taught to fear certain things, certain people. This is something that we then carry throughout our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will find churches that teach us to hate. Church hate is not an express form of hate. We are simply raised to view other denominations as being inferior to ours. Our leaders are exalted in our eyes, while every others&#8217; leader is minimised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until you think of this from the inside, it may seem absurd. Yet, a church is a numbers game. It costs money to run church events and maintain buildings. This means the pastor&#8217;s personal goals can easily become more important than KINGDOM goals. We may find ourselves at a point where we don&#8217;t win souls but take from other ministries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>&#8220;A&nbsp;<em>time will come<\/em>&nbsp;when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the church&nbsp;<em>will<\/em>&nbsp;have clowns entertaining the goats&#8221; &#8211; Charles <a href=\"https:\/\/prayerrelay.com\/charles-spurgeon-quotes-provoke-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spurgeon<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe that time is now.

May your love be visible to others through me. In the mighty name of Jesus!
