Boasting in Weakness 2 Cor 12:9, Confession of Sins of Tongue, etc 2 Chron 7:14 Dan 9:20 James 5:16, 1 Jn 1:9 =🧎🏽‍♂️Power is Perfected in Weakness...

Confession of Sin, "If My People Who are Called by My Name Humble Themselves, Pray, Seek My Face AND Turn from Their Wicked Ways, THEN I Will Hear from Heaven, Forgive their SIN and HEAL Their LAND, 2 Chron 7:14, "Now WHILE I Was Speaking, Praying, Confessing My Own SIN and The SINS of My People, Israel, AND Presenting My Petition before The LORD Regarding the Holiness of His Holy Mountain," Dan 9:20, James 5:16, 1 Jn 1:9 =🧎🏽‍♂️Power is Perfected in Weakness, Boasting in Insults, 2 Cor 12:9, Slow to Anger Ex 34:6, Quick to Listen, Slow to Speak, Slow to Become Angry, Jam 1:19-27, Tame Tongue Jam 3:2 God can Do anything, Lk 18:27, By FAITH were made Strong from Weakness, Heb 11:34 Goal: Love-->Pure 💖 Good Conscience, Sincere Faith, 1 Tim 1:5, Harvest of Righteousness Heb 12:11...

🧎🏽‍♂️"Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.'” Therefore I willboast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong," 2 Cor 12:8-10. "The one who tames the tongue controls the whole body," James 3:2, but "No person can tame the tongue," Jam 3:8, "But Jesus said, 'What is impossible with man is possible with God,'" Luke 18:27. "By Faith people were from weaknesses were made strong," Heb 11:34, Goal of Trials: "Never pleasant in the present(does not 'seem like' joy, but grief), but later on, yields a harvest of righteousness and peace (it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness) to those who have been trained by submitting to discipline," Heb 12:11, What to Say and How to Say it (the Best Way Possible), Jn 12:49, "The LORD answered the angel who was speaking with me with Gracious words, Comforting words," Zech 1:13.

"While Confessing My Sins and The Sins of My Nation," Daniel 9:20, "If My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land," 2 Chronicles 7:14... 🙇🏻 Father, thank You for giving mercy and grace in times of need, Heb 4:16, past and now in present. Though we may yet need grace to confess in the future, we rather prefer to be done with all future sin, and were there a button to push representing that ability to delete all future stumbling prior to their occurring, we'd gladly press it without delay or hesitation (since we all stumble often, specifically with the tongue, James 3:2). Yet since no such button exists, and the best of humanity and even Christians are at best still "human," we are content with what remedy we have, namely the prescription to humbly confess and forsake our sins, and promises of not only that we'll find mercy, Prov 28:13, but cleansing from all unrighteousness, 1 Jn 1:9, and even contentment in Your presence, Heb 13:5, and promises of holiness, which we inherit by faith, Heb 4:2, even promises to do no wrong, 2 Cor 13:7, not stumble in what we say and control the whole body, James 3:2, even to walk as Jesus Himself, 1 Jn 2:6, 1 Jn 4:17. We continue the remedy of our misuse of the instrument of the tongue we were given to glorify God and edify others, in confession and repentance, for sanctification both a one-time act and an ongoing work of participation with the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, Matt 3:8, Phil 2:12-13, 1 Tim 4:16, so we agree with Your admonition to confess our sins to one another and pray for each other that we may be healed, James 5:16 -- maybe that's how through boasting in our weaknesses 2 Cor 12:9 by faith from weaknesses we are made strong, Heb 11:32-34. So in obedience to Your teaching through Hosea, we, "Take words with you, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, 'Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips as bulls" Hos 14:2.

📝 Lord, I've missed Your warnings, not hearkened to Your Voice, Missed Your Spirit's leading, haven't taken the way of escape in every occurrence, 1 Cor 10:13... I've dealt with things unrighteously, sinned and fallen short of Your glorious image, Rom 3:23, Gen 1:27, Matt 5:48, Eph 5:1. I've lacked love, have gotten "in the flesh," have said and typed things in with a mixture of emotions, even in anger, that even if they were true have either lacked love or forgotten the foundation of equality for the sake of Christ, Eph 5:21, maybe both or all of the following: I have done things mixed with pride and empty conceit, and in times of pain have said, spoken, typed, forwarded and done things to further my own interests or unrighteous emotions, rather than considering the interests of others, and lacked the attitude of Christ's humility that prefers my neighbor's advantage, and forgotten to treat others as more important than myself, Phil 2:3-5. Such actions and attitudes that display such mixture tainted with the anger of man do not achieve the righteousness of God, James 1:19-20. Therefore, not using my bodily members as instruments of righteousness consistently, I confess with Isaiah, I've been a man of unclean lips, Isa 6:5, and confess like Peter, I am an unclean man, Luke 5:8.

Since our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them, transgressing and denying Yahweh, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood, Isa 59:12-13, at time, "Surely I have spoken of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know, therefore I despise my sins, and I repent from them in dust and ashes," Job 42:3, Job 42:6. Yet though You've disciplined me severely, You haven't given me over to death, Ps 118:18. I can say with the Psalmist, "It was good for me to be afflicted that I might learn the way of Your Commands," Ps 119:71. Let me make the most of Your discipline, knowing it's end result has many ends in mind, sanctification being a chief one, Even Jesus being the author, ἀρχηγὸν, ultimate architect, pioneer and engineer of our salvation, perfected through suffering, Heb 2:10, on earth and in flesh, the proving ground of obedience, becoming the ultimate fountain of salvation, Heb 5:8-9. Surely, there is One found Worthy, Rev 5:9.

Though beyond human capacity to bear at times tribulation transfers every drop of hope to You alone who raise the dead, 2 Cor 1:8-9, who has helped us and will yet again, others assisting us in prayers, 2 Cor 1:10-11, produces patience leading to maturity that we may also be complete, James 1:2-3, and though not pleasant at present, afterward yields not only perseverance, proven character but an abiding hope that does not disappoint, even granting assurance through The Holy Spirit of Adoption, Rom 5:3-5. May trials yield a harvest of peaceful fruit and righteousness, Heb 12:11, even an everlasting quietness and confidence, Isa 32:17, an everlasting crown of life, James 1:12, and ability to reign with You, as You overcame and reign in truth, humility and justice, Ps 45:4, Rev 3:19-21, Rev 21:7. We ask for grace to renew our minds, Rom 12:2, to rejoice in all these things knowing we are presently blessed and understanding their end is eternal reward, Matt 5:10-12, and that Your Intention is to work it all together for good, Rom 8:28, because You are indeed Gracious and Compassionate, Ex 34:4-5, as we see You were with Job, James 1:12. Let us pray for others and others pray for us knowing You have brought us through trials before, You will do so again, and that prayers are powerful and effective, 2 Cor 1:10-11, especially when we confess our struggles and sins to one another and pray for each other, Your promise is the prayers are powerful and effective, James 5:15-16, even as Elijah's, James 5:17-18... Continued below while abiding in Jesus Christ and His Words, John 15:1-8, and His Life Giving Words of The Holy Spirit, John 6:63, His Name being the only Name given under heaven by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12, He being the one God and Mediator between God and Man, 1 Tim 2:5, in The Power of Attorney given by us His Position and Command, Mt 18:18, we ask in Jesus' Name, John 14:13-14.
 
We join with you in this humble and honest confession and we thank God for the work He is already doing in your heart to bring these things into the light.

What you have shared aligns deeply with Scripture. We all stumble in many ways and if anyone does not stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also James 3:2, yet no man can tame the tongue James 3:8. This is why your confession is so precious, because what is impossible with men is possible with God Luke 18:27. His grace is sufficient for you, for His power is made perfect in weakness 2 Cor 12:9. Therefore we can boast gladly in our weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake, for when we are weak, then we are strong 2 Cor 12:10. And by faith we who were weak are made strong Heb 11:34.

We affirm with you the biblical pattern of confession and repentance. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9. He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy Prov 28:13. We are called to confess our sins to one another and pray for one another, that we may be healed, for the insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective James 5:16. This is the same heart we see in Daniel who said while I was speaking and praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel Dan 9:20, and in the promise that if My people who are called by My name humble themselves, pray, seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land 2 Chron 7:14.

We also gently rebuke and correct with you what you have already named, for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God James 1:20. We are to be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger James 1:19, and to do nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility each counting others better than himself, having the mind of Christ Phil 2:3-5. When we speak from pride or empty conceit or to serve our own interests or unrighteous emotions, we do not use our members as instruments of righteousness Rom 6:13. Like Isaiah we must say woe is me for I am undone because I am a man of unclean lips Isa 6:5, and like Peter depart from me for I am a sinful man, Lord Luke 5:8. Our transgressions are multiplied before You and our sins testify against us Isa 59:12. Yet you have rightly remembered that we have a gracious and compassionate God Ex 34:6 who answers with gracious words, comforting words Zech 1:13.

We rejoice that you have centered all of this on Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we can be saved. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved Acts 4:12, and there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus 1 Tim 2:5. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father and can ask anything according to His will John 14:13-14. Apart from abiding in Him and His words abiding in us John 15:7 we can do nothing, but His words are spirit and are life John 6:63.

We see your desire to be done with future sin and to walk just as He walked 1 John 2:6. Know that all chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous, yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby Heb 12:11. It was good for the psalmist to be afflicted that he might learn Your statutes Ps 119:71, and though You have disciplined us severely You have not given us over to death Ps 118:18. You bore it beyond strength so that we would not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead 2 Cor 1:9, and tribulation produces endurance, character, and hope which does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit Rom 5:3-5.

We pray together now.

Father, we come before Your throne of grace in the name of Jesus Christ to obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need Heb 4:16. We humble ourselves before You, we pray and seek Your face and turn from our wicked ways. Forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Forgive the sins of our tongue, the words spoken in pride, in anger, in haste, without love and without considering others more important than ourselves. Forgive us for not hearkening to Your voice and for not taking the way of escape You provided in temptation 1 Cor 10:13. Take away all iniquity and receive us graciously, so we may offer the fruit of our lips Hos 14:2.

Lord, we boast in our weakness that the power of Christ may rest upon us. Make Your strength perfect in our weakness. Tame our tongues where we cannot tame them ourselves. Renew our minds Rom 12:2 and teach us what to say and how to say it in the best way possible, as You taught Your Son John 12:49. Let our goal be love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith 1 Tim 1:5, and let trials yield in us a harvest of righteousness and peace, an everlasting quietness and confidence Isa 32:17, that we may be made complete and mature James 1:4, walking as Your dear children Eph 5:1, perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect Matt 5:48.

We ask for grace to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is You who works in us both to will and to work for Your good pleasure Phil 2:12-13. Continue Your sanctifying work in us, keep us abiding in Christ, and let our prayers for one another be powerful and effective. We thank You that You are faithful to complete what You began and that You work all things together for good for those who love You Rom 8:28. We ask all this in the mighty and only saving name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
 
We were grateful to read your honest prayer. You named so clearly what weighs on you, wanting to be done with stumbling, especially with the tongue, and wanting to walk in a way that reflects Christ with a pure heart and sincere faith. That desire itself is precious to the Lord.

What you described about weakness is so real. We cannot tame the tongue on our own, and we cannot press a button to be finished with sin once for all. Part of what brings peace is remembering that God has already set us apart in Christ, and He is also patiently shaping us day by day. That shaping is lifelong, with highs and lows, and it grows gradually as we stay close to Him.

We hear in your words a deep willingness to keep turning to Him, to confess honestly and to keep participating with the Holy Spirit's work. That pattern of honestly naming what happened before God and before a trusted brother or sister, and then turning to walk a different direction, is where healing and change often take root. It keeps us dependent instead of discouraged.

One simple next step that may help is to stay in the ordinary means God uses to grow us, spending unhurried time in His Word, bringing your heart to Him in prayer, worshiping with other believers, and leaning on the Holy Spirit rather than willpower alone. If you have a mature pastor or trusted friend, letting them hear this same confession and pray with you regularly can make the journey less isolating.

Father, thank You for Your grace that meets us in our weakness. We ask You to comfort our friend, cleanse and renew their heart, and give wisdom for each word and step ahead. Help them to rest in Your mercy today and to keep growing in holiness as they abide in You. In Jesus' name, amen.
 
There is great mercy in being brought to see our own weakness and to confess with the prophet that we are men of unclean lips. Your prayer lays hold upon a most precious truth, that the Lord's power is perfected in weakness and that His grace is sufficient for you. When we are weak, then are we strong, not in ourselves, but in Christ, for apart from Him we can do nothing, and through Him what is impossible with man is possible with God.

You have done well to take words with you and turn to the Lord, saying with Hosea, Take away all iniquity and receive us graciously. The promise stands sure, If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This forgiveness comes not by any merit or work of our own, for boasting is excluded by the law of faith. As it has been preached among us, salvation is of Divine Grace from top to bottom, from Alpha to Omega, and not a particle of boasting can be admitted because not a particle of work is admitted into the Covenant of Grace. We are made near to God only in Christ Jesus and by the blood of Christ, who is our federal Head, the second Adam, in whom we live and draw near to the Father.

You confess rightly that no man can tame the tongue, though he who tames it controls the whole body. This is the sore evil of our nature, and our sins of omission and commission, our sins of ignorance and of will, swarm in the hidden parts of our nature. Yet blessed be God, a sacrifice is permitted for it. The Lord Jesus has offered Himself, and through His blood we have nearness to God, even as Adam walked with God in the garden, and more nearly still, for we are baptized into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. The Lord delights to answer prayer and to grant holiness to those who seek His face, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

The way you have taken is the way appointed. If My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land. So Daniel prayed, while confessing his own sin and the sins of his people, and so we are taught to confess our faults one to another and pray one for another that we may be healed. This is not a work to earn favor, but the humble fruit of faith, for we are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure, sanctifying us by His Spirit both in a once for all act and in an ongoing work.

Therefore let us pray together for you, that the Lord would make His strength perfect in your acknowledged weakness, that by faith you who have been weak may be made strong, and that your trials, though not pleasant at present, may afterward yield the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by them.

O Lord our God, we come to Thee through Jesus Christ alone, for there is one God and one Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus, and there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. We confess before Thee our transgressions which are multiplied, our words spoken in haste, in pride, in anger, and in the flesh, which have not achieved Thy righteousness. Forgive us through the blood of Christ and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Grant us grace to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, to tame the tongue by Thy power, to walk as Jesus walked, and to be conformed to His image. Teach us to boast only in our infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon us, and to find contentment in Thy presence. Renew our minds, create in us a pure heart, a good conscience and a sincere faith, and cause us to bring forth a harvest of righteousness and peace for Thy glory. We ask this in the prevailing name of Jesus, who lives and intercedes for us. Amen.
