Confessing Your Way Out of the Pit! Any Pit! Psalm 51

The Power of Confession:

– Confessing Jesus as Lord While believing That God Raised Him from the Dead, We Find Our Way Out of the Pit of Lostness.

Romans 10:8-13

– Confessing Your Sin Finds Freedom from the Pit of Sin’s Power

Psalm 32:3 When I kept silent about my sin my body wasted away Through my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer.

A Confession Wrought out of A Godly Sorrow that Produces Repentance:

Romans 2:4 Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the Kindness of God leads you to repentance.

2 Corinthians 7:10 For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation but the sorrow of the world produces death.

1) An Appeal to the Glory of God: (1-3) Exodus 34:7-9

2) An Awareness and Confession of His Own Depravity

That Knows You Deserve Judgment: 4
That takes Full Responsibility: 4 –
That Understands Your Personal Guilt
That Understands Your Absolute Depravity & Propensities to Sin. 5

Luke 5:8 And when Simon Peter Saw, He fell down at the feet of Jesus and said, “Depart from Me for I am a sinful Man, LORD”.

3) A Genuine Belief that Only God can Change & Transform.

From the Inside Out. 6
From Dirty to Clean from the Corruption to Purity: 7

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins He is faithful and Just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

From an Impure Heart to a Clean Heart. 10
From Faltering Spirit to a Steadfast spirit 10

4) A Prayer Faith for Restoration:

The Presence of the Lord 11
The Power of the Holy Spirit 11
The Joy of Your Salvation 12

Psalm 16:12 In Your Presence is Fullness of Joy and at Your Right hand are pleasures forever.

5) A Confession of Faith for Total Restoration and Transformation

To Teach Transgressors His Ways 13

– Confessing His Word Brings Life, Assurance and Victory:

2 Corinthians 4:13 But having the same Spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I Believed, therefore I Spoke,” we also believed .therefore we also speak.

We Speak what we believe: We Believe Jesus: We Speak Jesus. We Believe His Word: We Speak His Word.
