The Courage To Face Your Faults


23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 Point out anything in me that offends you,
    and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
Psalm 139:23-24

1. RECOGNIZE YOUR FAULTS.

In order to recognize your faults there are three things that you must do, that no one else can do for you:
  1. Humble yourself
Then he said, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer. Daniel 10:12

  1. Discipline yourself
But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness.
1 Timothy 4:7 New American Standard Bible

3.   Examine yourself
Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you. If not, you have failed the test of genuine faith.” 2 Corinthians 13:5

40 Some Pharisees who were standing nearby heard him and asked, “Are you saying we’re blind?” 41 “If you were blind, you wouldn’t be guilty,” Jesus replied. “But you remain guilty because you claim you can see. John 9:40-41

12 Even one of their own men, a prophet from Crete, has said about them, “The people of Crete are all liars, cruel animals, and lazy gluttons.” 13 This is true. So reprimand them sternly to make them strong in the faith. Titus 1:12-13






2. EMPHASIZE HIS LEAD.
21 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. 23 All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.” Mark 7:21-23

    God’s goal is not leisure. It is likeness.

Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ
Philippians 3:8

3. GOD WILL MAXIMIZE YOUR OBEDIENCE.
28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28

THE PROMISE 
WHEN YOU RECOGNIZE YOUR FAULTS AND EMPHASIZE HIS LEAD, GOD WILL MAXIMIZE YOUR OBEDIENCE - CONVERTING A FAULT INTO AN ASSET and A WEAKNESS INTO STRENGTH.

Please Strive to Be in Right Relationship with the Lord Till the END.


  1. PRAY for Revival
  2. FAST one day a week
  3. READ your bible daily


No matter what happens, when we do God’s will we’re in the safest place in tall the world. The Lord is all-wise, almighty, and all-loving. Doesn’t it make sense to surrender your life to Him?
JESUS LOVES YOU
