Proverbs 16:1-3
The preparations of the heart belong to man,
But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
But the Lord weighs the spirits.
Commit your works to the Lord,
And your thoughts will be established.
I know all things about you including the thoughts and intents of your heart. I created you fashioning every part of who you are. I know your motivations and I weigh them out according to My Word of truth.
Not one thought or action escapes My notice. I am as close as your breath because I Am your breath. I live and reside within your inner most being and because of this fact, your spirit man is alive and living in the truth of My Word. It fully discerns between good and evil and is very astute at distinguishing between the two.
The struggle is not with your spirit, but with your unsubmitted soul. It believes what it wants to believe blinding you to the truth of your heart condition. It makes up stories luring you to believe that what you are doing is not actually a sin, but a mere weakness of character. These are lies sent from the enemy all in an attempt to keep you deceived in a false sense of security.
Commit your ways to Me and surrender your life totally and completely. When you submit your ways to My Lordship, I bring order to your thought life and establish your ways.
Stop trying to hide your sin in the sand of denial. I already know about it and trying to hide it from Me is futile. Repent and allow My forgiveness to flow bringing you into a new place of freedom.
I hear every question you ask so....
Prepare your soul to receive My answers!
Father God, I ask You to remove the blinders from my eyes. I want to see myself in the truth of Your Word. I do not want to deceive myself into thinking I am fine, when I am not. As a choice, I pull my head out of the sand of denial and look honestly at my soul's condition. I desire to call weakness what it truly is... sin! I repent and ask for Your blood to wash over this area of my life bringing me into a new place of freedom. I command my soul to shape up and submit to Your Lordship. I commit my ways to You and expect to see my thoughts come into order as a result. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen!
