My Favorite Bible Verse . . .

My favorite Bible passage is...

I John 1:9

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

This verse reveals a powerful life-changing tool. What I have learned over the years is that if there is anything in my life that I am doing outside God's will for me, if I will confess it as sin, He will CHANGE ME in that area.

I don't even have to WANT to be changed in an area -- I have confessed as sin, "God, I am doing such and such -- and I do not even want to stop -- and I confess NOT WANTING to stop AS SIN and look to you to forgive me and cleanse me of ALL unrighteousness." AND HE DOES -- inevitably, my attitude will change and I will soon be confessing that very thing to Him that I had previously not been willing to change -- because He has made me WANT to change it.

A workshop/worksheet that I have developed is based on this verse and "If we confess our sins one to another, we shall be healed!"

It works!
