SERMON TITLE: The Barrier of Unconfessed Sin

INTRODUCTION Today, we're diving into Psalm 66:18, which says, "If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened." This verse highlights a crucial aspect of our relationship with God: the importance of dealing with sin.

UNDERSTANDING THE VERSE The psalmist isn't suggesting that God doesn't hear us when we're sinning. Rather, it's about the relational dynamics between us and God. Unconfessed sin creates a barrier, hindering our prayers and intimacy with Him.

THE DANGER OF CHERISHING SIN Cherishing sin means holding onto it, nurturing it, and refusing to let it go. This can lead to:
1. Spiritual stagnation
2. Compromised values
3. Distance from God

THE IMPORTANCE OF CONFESSION 1 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." Confession:
1. Restores relationship
2. Brings forgiveness
3. Promotes spiritual growth

APPLICATION
1. Regular self-reflection
2. Honest confession
3. Seeking forgiveness

CONCLUSION
Let's prioritize purity and intimacy with God. May we:
1. Acknowledge sin
2. Confess and repent
3. Seek God's guidance

This will help us to remain relevant on HIS harvest field and do exploit.

May God's Word transform us, and may we walk in His light in Jesus name 🙏 Amen

The Word Will Change Your Circumstances

He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. — PSALM 107:20

A certain pastor once said to the Lord, “Lord, You know I believe in divine healing, but no one in my church is receiving hesling. What’s the matter?” The Lord said to him, “Why don’t you preach on it (healing)?”

So he started preaching on divine healing, and his whole church got healed. Before, nearly all of them were sick. But they all got healed. That’s what happens when the Word of God is preached. The Word of God is what does the work.

We are affected by the words we hear—whether it’s truth or untruth. You could listen to someone talk who is worried and oppressed. And when you leave his presence, you’d feel oppressed yourself. Some people are so full of doubt and unbelief that the very atmosphere around them is charged with darkness. That kind of atmosphere is created by words.

Thank God for the Word of God! His Word is His will. Psalm 107:20 says, “He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” Let’s talk about the Word of God. Let’s talk about healing from the standpoint of God’s Word.

Confession: I speak the Word of God. I speak faith-filled, life-filled words that change the circumstances around me. I refuse to speak doubt and unbelief

Jesus Was Made Sick With Your Sickness
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin . . . — ISAIAH 53:10

God not only laid our iniquities upon Jesus, but our diseases as well. Settle that in your heart. Jesus was made sick with our diseases. He was made sin for our sins. In the mind of our Father God and in the mind of Jesus, our diseases and sins were borne by the Lord Jesus Christ. And if they were borne by Him, then it’s wrong for us to bear them.

I’ve seen this simple truth get down into the hearts of terminally ill people. The best doctors of medical science said that they would die. But after twenty-five years, they are still alive! So how did this simple truth get down into their hearts? They accepted it as truth. They meditated on it. They spoke it over and over to themselves until it registered on the inside of them.

Through the ministry of Christ upon the earth, God our Father revealed that it was His will to heal man physically. In redemption, God broke the power of disease over man and set him free by laying disease and sickness upon Christ.

Confession: Because my disease and sickness were laid upon Christ, I am healed and free. I accept as truth that Jesus bore my disease and sickness. And I confess that I am healed and made whole in Jesus name 🙏 Amen

Before you call yourself a prophet do you know that the prophet Isaiah was cut in half for the GOSPEL we are enjoying today...

Before you call yourself a apostle, do you know that Apostles John was thrown into a pot of boiling oil, for the same GOSPEL. Apostle Peter was crucified upside down and that is how the early Christian had died...

They died without building a big church but they won souls for JESUS...

Today there are many who make themselves apostles, prophet, bishop, pastor but do not know the value of that name.

Nobody wants to die for the GOSPEL today. I keep asking, are these people really servants of God or of themselves?

So never think your calling is a way to just make money. Remember your calling is for GOD, in winning souls, not just making to get wealth that many big miniseries do nowadays!!!

HOW THE APOSTLES DIED.
1. Matthew
Suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia, Killed by a sword wound.

2. Mark
Died in Alexandria, Egypt , after being dragged by Horses through the streets until he was dead.

3. Luke
Was hanged in Greece as a result of his tremendous Preaching to the lost.

4. John
Faced martyrdom when he was boiled in huge Basin of boiling oil during a wave of persecution In Rome. However, he was miraculously delivered From death.
John was then sentenced to the mines on the prison Island of Patmos. He wrote his prophetic Book of Revelation on Patmos . The apostle John was later freed and returned to serve As Bishop of Edessa in modern Turkey . He died as an old man, the only apostle to die peacefully

5. Peter
He was crucified upside down on an x-shaped cross.
According to church tradition it was because he told his tormentors that he felt unworthy to die In the same way that Jesus Christ had died.

6. James
The leader of the church in Jerusalem , was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his
enemies beat James to death with a fuller's club.
* This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation.

7. James the Son of Zebedee,
was a fisherman by trade when Jesus Called him to a lifetime of ministry. As a strong leader of the church, James was beheaded at Jerusalem. The Roman officer who guarded James watched amazed as James defended his faith at his trial. Later, the officer Walked beside James to the place of ex*****on. Overcome by conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and Knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Christian.

8. Bartholomew
Also known as Nathaniel Was a missionary to Asia. He witnessed for our Lord in present day Turkey. Bartholomew was martyred for his preaching in Armenia where he was flayed to death by a whip.

9. Andrew
Was crucified on an x-shaped cross in Patras, Greece. After being whipped severely by seven soldiers they tied his body to the cross with cords to prolong his agony. His followers reported that, when he was led toward the cross, Andrew saluted it in these words: 'I have long desired and expected this happy hour. The cross has been consecrated by the body of Christ hanging on it.' He continued to preach to his tormentors For two days until he expired.

10. Thomas
Was stabbed with a spear in India during one of his missionary trips to establish the church in the Sub-continent.

11. Jude
Was killed with arrows when he refused to deny his faith in Christ.

12. Matthias
The apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot, was stoned and then beheaded.

13. Paul
Was tortured and then beheaded by the evil Emperor Nero at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul endured a lengthy imprisonment, which allowed him to write his many
epistles to the churches he had formed throughout the Roman Empire. These letters, which taught many of the foundational Doctrines of Christianity, form a large portion of the New Testament.

Perhaps this is a reminder to us that our sufferings here are indeed minor compared to the intense persecution and cold cruelty faced by the apostles and disciples during their times For the sake of the Faith. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: But he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Pass on to encourage other Christians
Why Do we feel sleepy in Prayer,
But stay awake through a 3 hour movie?
Why are we so bored when we look at the HOLY BOOK,
But find it easy to read other books?
Why is it so easy to ignore a msg about God,
Yet we forward the nasty ones?
Why are Prayers getting smaller,
But bars and clubs are expanding
Why is it so easy to worship a celebrity,
But very difficult to engage with God?
Think about it, are you going to forward this?
Are you going to ignore it, cause you think you will get laughed at?
Forward this to all your friends.
80% of you won't forward this.
God said: If you deny me in front of your friends, I will deny you on the day of judgment:

When one door closes, God opens two: If God has opened doors for you, send this message to everyone on your contact list.

You Can Rule and Reign
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. — ROMANS 5:15

Romans 5:17 says, “For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.” Where do we reign? We reign in life! Instead of Satan, spiritual death, sickness, disease, and poverty reigning over us, we reign over them!

The Amplified Bible says, “For if because of one man’s trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God’s] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).” Notice the phrase, “reign as kings in life.” Do you know anyone who is doing that? Well, every child of God should rule and reign.

In Bible times, the king was the ruler of a country. He ruled and reigned. He dominated a country; it was his domain.

So what is Romans 5:17 saying to us? Instead of Satan and spiritual death dominating us, we reign in life by Christ Jesus. We rule as kings. Instead of circumstances dominating us, we dominate circumstances. Instead of disease and sickness dominating us, we get into the Bible and find out what already belongs to us. We rule over disease and sickness.

Confession: I rule and reign as a king in my domain in this life. I rule over Satan. I rule over circumstances. I rule over disease and sickness.
