By the power of the Holy Spirit, we must deny our flesh nature. We must starve it, reject, rebuke, resist, renounce, and repent for indulging our self and its worldly cravings. We are to beat it back lest it overpowers us.
All of humanity, including “professing believers”, who continue to do their own will, are destined to be destroyed by the sharp sword of His written Word because of their perpetual rebellion against the Truth, the will of God.
A passionate prayer to have our hearts cleansed and purified from all of it’s cravings, pantings, and every obsessive wrong desire, whether for things, notoriety, position, comfort, or our own vainglory and selfish ambitions.
Our Heavenly Father in love and mercy is calling to you. His Son’s sacrificial blood applied to your confessed sins will spare you from eternal death. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Yahshua (Jesus).
May the outpouring of the Holy Spirit through this prayer refresh and renew all who walk on the narrow path of “the way, the truth, and the life” that leads to Yahshua (Jesus) and His eternal Heavenly Kingdom.
Purify me from all that deludes, is prideful, stubborn, rebellious, self indulgent, self justifying and makes me a friend of this world, thus making me an enemy to You. I pray to keep step with You, as You lead me safely to Your Kingdom.
Yahshua (Jesus) will finish the work He has begun in us until the day of His return. Cry out to Him and let your supplications be heard, in so doing He will bless you and keep you on the narrow path that leads to eternal life.
“Do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Messiah …” (1 Peter 4:12-13).
Thank You that I have found the “pearl of exceedingly great price” and I have slowly but surely sold everything for You, to go through those pearly gates of Your home where Your Bride will dwell with You forever
We must continually “keep watch” on our unruly self-nature and “judge ourselves”, keeping our flesh and strong self will under the control of the Holy Spirit, who gives us the grace to overcome our fallen sin nature.
We must strive with every fiber of our being to have our Master say, “well done good and faithful servant.” Self is the biggest idol yet wisdom from above overcomes our idols and this wisdom is granted when we pray for it.
“We have all sinned and fallen short of His glory.” He is calling us to humble ourselves that He might lift us up. This can only be accomplished by being cleansed by the blood and taught of Him in His presence.
Yahshua’s blood has been poured out on our behalf that we might be cleansed. Indeed, we have cleansing through the blood of the Lamb if we come before Yahveh our Father with repentance and contriteness of heart.
The blood of Yahshua (Jesus) the Lamb, poured out to atone, cleanse, and purify us of our sins, of the rebellions, of the lust and cravings of our flesh, of our disobedience, and of all those things that so easily beset us.
Our flesh nature craves, lusts, and longs for what is tangible and of this visible world. It is an ever present enemy to the Holy Spirit. We must quickly recognize and repent for the harmful sins that will grieve and anger the Spirit.
