Leap of Faith
Trusting God is a lifelong journey. Don’t travel alone.
PRAYER
“The Cloak.”
Lord, this is not the time to pretend like we are walking in your way, in your righteousness, while in truth individuals are in denial of you and continue to live how they want.
How can anyone walk with you in righteousness when they don’t know you? When they live by their rules, and desires, instead of your mandates.
As stated in 2Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (KJV)
I pray Lord, that the truth shines a light into the falsehood of pretense. May each of us refrain from the cloak of godliness for the sake of man, but seek to know you, in sincerity.
It is more challenging to dress up in righteousness than it is to shed the clock of deception.
God Bless.
THE ROOT
A STUDY OF THE WORD
"Secret Faults”
Psalms 19:12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. KJV
Psalm 19:12 How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults. NLT
Secret:
-done, made, or conducted without the knowledge of others
Fault:
-defect or imperfection; flaw; failing:
-a fault in one's character.
-responsibility for failure or a wrongful act
Psalms 40:12
12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
Psalms 65:3
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. (KJV)
Psalm 65:3 Though we are overwhelmed by our sins, you forgive them all. (NLT)
God will forgive us of our sins. But we have to give them to him. And we have to turn away from them and not return to them.
1 Corinthians 4:4
For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. (KJV)
1 Corinthians 4:4 My conscience is clear, but that doesn't prove I'm right. It is the Lord himself who will examine me and decide. (NLT)
There are things inside our spirit that we did not know was a problem for God until he brings it to the surface.
When you have something that comes before you, and it will not go away, it’s time to fit before the Lord and discuss it. If you are guilty of doing something that is wrong, confess it to him and ask him to forgive you.
If he continues to bring that subject before you, it is an unresolved issue that he wants you to deal with.
Psalms 51:9
Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
The Lord will blot out our sins when we repent of them. We aren’t the only ones who want them gone. Read what the following scriptures say about how the Lord handles sin that we repent of.
Isaiah 43:25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Psalms 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Hebrews 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
Micah 7:18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
Micah 7:19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
It says in Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
This is the next step after submitting those sins to the Lord. Ask him to clean us up and he will. We must do our part by studying his word, and living in obedience to it.
Whatever secret fault lies in the depths of your spirit, it may have been set aside from your memory, but it has not escaped the Lord. He will bring it to the surface. It is then up to us to give to the Lord and ask for forgiveness.
God Bless.

A POURING OUT OF LIVING WATER
John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst;
but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Living water is the eternal flow of God's spirit. He says he is the fountain of living water in
Jeremiah 2:13 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Jeremiah 17:13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
Thirst: a sensation of dryness in the mouth and throat caused by need of liquid.The physical condition resulting from this need, strong or eager desire; craving: That strong, eager desire can occur in the physical for need of liquid to quench our thirst. It is also a spiritual need that needs quenching in our spirit.Drink: take in liquid, consume Receive the spirit of God, he is the source, fountain of eternal life-living water.
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Revelation 21:6 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.Water: Water is Liquid, transparent in color, odorless and makes up lakes, rivers, oceans. Consider the movement of water- it flows, it can flow gently or in the movement of waves.
The focus is not the liquid, but the movement of the liquid water- it can flow gently or in movement of waves. It’s the movement.
Described as the flow or movement of waves, the flow of the spirit of God within you is felt physically in the body as your spirit is filled up with him.
Revelation 22:17 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Drink: take in liquid, consume.Receive the spirit of God, he is the source, fountain of eternal life-living water
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Revelation 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
This living water comes from God. He is the source, the fountain, It is for you, me, and anyone who desires to have him in our lives. when you invite him in your heart and life, he will come.He makes it available because it is his desire that no one perish. As it states in John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Invitation to meet Christ our Lord
For anyone reading this who has not asked the Lord Jesus into your heart
This is your opportunity. Ask him into your heart and life, confess your sins to him, ask his forgiveness. Make every effort from this day forward to turn away from sin. This is the act of repentance. God will meet you where you are.
If you are in the midst of sin; treat your vessel (body) wrong using substances that alter your mind, emotions, and behavior, you are in sexual immorality, corruption, or any combination of these or other forms of sin. Don’t put it off, as we are not promised tomorrow.
Come as you are. Listen, you weren’t feeling ashamed or embarrassed while you werecommitting the act, don’t allow those hindering spirits to stop you now.
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Matthew 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Whatever the sin, you and God have always been present during those times. It is you and him now, alone together as you read this. He stands with open arms.
John 7:3 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
