“Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.” Nehemiah 1:6.
*MESSAGE*
Sin is definitely a major barrier. It stands between our prayer and God. When I come to God in prayer, it is of importance that I get the issue of sin cleared in order to pave the way for my prayer to be answered. This is done by confessing my sins, repenting genuinely and forsaking the way of sin.
Proverbs 28:13 says “He that covereth his sin shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” When you confess and forsake sin, the hotline to the throne of mercy will be opened because the hearing and the seeing channel will be opened and the communication and communion line will be straightforward.
Now as God said through prophet Isaiah “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear; But your iniquities have separated between you and your God and your sins have hid His face from you that He will not hear.” (Isaiah 59:1-2).
Is sin a barrier in your life right now? Repent. Forsake the sin. Then the broken lines of communication will be restored fully so that you can once again enjoy the lost paradise on earth.
*ACTION POINT*
Repent of your sins, confess them and forsake them.
