INSIDE OUT

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God.  I am going to always call you "Mighty Woman of God", speaking those words into your life everyday.  You are a Mighty Woman even while you are waiting for your deliverance to come to pass.
 
(Psalms 51:7-10), Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.  Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.  Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.  Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit with me.  Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
 
David had a special relationship with God.  And one of the things that you should know about Davis is that he had a man killed just so that he could have that man's wife.  He desired that woman so badly that he sent her husband to the front line of the battlefield.  Another thing that you should know about David is that he knew where his blessings came from (God).  David knew how to get God's attention, through his songs, always asking for forgiveness.  David was always humble when asking God to forgive him.
 
Mighty woman of God, the Lord is reminded you today that no matter what you've done or where you've been you can always come to Him and He will cleanse you, whiter than snow.  There is no other God that will save you from eternal damnation.  You can always pray to God and ask Him to blot out all your sins and God will do just that.  One thing that you should do is call your sin out.  Some people just have a general prayer that goes a little like this, "Lord, forgive me for my sins, in Jesus name, Amen".  Now while we are not always conscience of every sin, we do remember most of them.  They reason why you should call out your sin, is that you are putting the devil on notice, than he cannot reign in your life.  The devil get excited every time we sin, but when we humble ourselves in prayer and go to God and call out our sin, the devil is defeated.
 
We should pray daily that God will create in us a clean heart and steadfast spirit, before we even start our daily activities.  Because the enemy is always waiting for us to mess up.  He looks for every little thing so that he can bring your sins before God.  But if you brings your sins before God, you beat the devil to the punch.  God desires for you to always have a pure heart.  Your motives for serving Him are pure.  Some people do things just so that they can be noticed by man, there motives are not pure and neither is their heart.  God would rather see your pure motives from your heart and you are not boastful to man.
 
In Psalms 51:11, I noticed that David asked God not to take His presence away from him or take away God's Holy Ghost from him.  That is very important to know because the Holy Spirit is not talked about much until the book of Acts.  In the book of Acts, Jesus tell His disciples to wait for the promise of the Father and that He would not leave them comfortless, but that He will send the Holy Spirit to comfort us and teach us all things.  But here David recognized the presence of God and His spirit, asking God not to take His Spirit away.
 
Praying that God will not leave us or take away His Spirit from us daily will no doubt keep us forever in His grace.  God knows everyone of our sins, past, presence and future, yet He still loves us.  Yet He still died on the cross for us.  God is a gentle God, so if we don't ask Him to come into our hearts, He will not, you need to invite Him in and to sup (stay) with you everyday.  The devil goes back and forth to heaven constantly accusing us before God.  So you have to beat the devil to the punch by asking for God's forgiveness on a constant basis.  Sometimes our sins may not be right in front of us for the world to see because sometimes we sin in our hearts and minds.  You should pray that God forgives you for the thoughts our things you had in your heart that did not glorify His name.  We don't always say what we think but if the thought comes to mind, we have already sinned.
 
Don't let the enemy trick you by whispering in your ear that you really messed up this time or that God is mad at you.  If God were to get mad at us every time we sin, then He would not have created us. Pray that God will cleanse you from the inside to the outside.  If we have a pure heart and humble spirit before God, He will cleanse you on the inside and your beauty will be reflected on the outside.  Remember always that there is no sin that God will not forgive, other than denying His Holy Spirit.  PRAISE GOD!
