Step 1: Confessing

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Step 1: The past must be thoroughly dealt with by confessing every known sin to God and every known wrong to man.

The key word here is throughly.

This step has unlimited potential and by which all the other steps hinge on. If fully and thoroughly adhered too, I would argue that this step has unthinkable power toward fulfilling the church’s mandate.

After pleading for mercy and forgiveness from Almighty God, IF the church publicly sought genuine forgiveness for ALL its wrongs, we could see seismic changes for God. All the dirt. All the clandestine maneuvers, and all the vile and disgusting things the church has done, condoned and allowed using the name of God, OPENLY and PUBLICLY CONFESSED.

People Set FREE.

Someone told me recently that Donald Miller in “Blue Like Jazz” set-up a confession booth not for people to confess their sins to his group, but for people to come and listen to his group apologise for some the wrongs of Christians and the church. Have you read this book?

Today’s Church leaders must make this micro experiment of Miller’s a MACRO experiment, placed smack at the top of their big colorful vision plans and agenda’s, if Revival is as serious an issue as we revere it to be.
