GETTING CLEAN
Evelyn Chistenson
1 JOHN 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
After we become Christians we commit sins. What do we do with them? Do we live with them? The answer is that we get rid of them. God gives Christians the formula thru John, “ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” This is written to Christians, and tells us how we may be cleansed and ready for an effectual intercessory prayer life.
Even little sins can muddy up our communication system. We try to get through to God and there’s something in the way. It may be an attitude, a spoken word. God wants these things cleared up. He doesn’t want anything between Him and us. If there is, it’s our fault, not His, when His ears are closed to our prayers.
This, then, is the first prerequisite---nothing between God and ourselves when we approach intercessory prayer.
