God bless!

    Do you remember growing up how our parents would always try to get the truth out of us right before we were punished? I guess the thought process behind it was trying to make a right out of a bunch of wrongs, it’s not a bad concept at all. The verse today talks about how we have to confess our sins, not hide our sins but rather confess them. Why do you think so many of us try so hard to hide our sins? We all know we have them! It’s usually not a surprise when they are discovered , so why hide them? The natural leads us to try to hide these things just as Adam & Eve hid when they realized they were nude. It wasn’t until the natural kicked in that they even recognized nudity. With this said I think it’s important that we put things into perspective and ask ourselves: are we natural beings or supernatural beings? If we are super natural then we will be open about the areas that are still in flaw but if we are natural we will remain in denial and trying to hide all of our mistakes. What are we really afraid of when we hide these issues? Do we still envision ourselves like those mischievous children growing up? Do we assume God will pull out the belt and whip us like our parents did? The longer we carry that mindset the less of the supernatural we will experience. It’s time to embrace Grace and realize He is not our natural parent and we are no longer natural children! You are Supernatural, blessed, made in His image, men & women of God . Don’t let anyone else tell you different, including yourself! I encourage you today to open yourself up and connect with brethren that will pray for you so that you can truly connect with who you were destined to be. You will be surprised at what that prayer can do!

Pastor Joell A. Perez

James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
