Morning Confession

Posted by jerrywhite on Feb 4, 2010

The value of renewing your intimate relationship with and commitment to the Lord Jesus day by day cannot be overestimated. The enemy waits like a crouching lion looking for any opportunity to pounce upon you when he senses you are in a weakened spiritual state. When you neglect renewing regularly your heart devotion and desire for the Lord, it gives the enemy an opening to devour your spiritual well being. The devil knows your every weakness and therefore knows exactly where he should attack to rob you of God’s best for you. He is always stalking you, and this is why God says we must be sober and vigilant (1 Peter 5:8). Nearness to the Shepherd is the only safe place for His sheep to be protected from the stalking lion. A morning confession is very helpful, not as a thoughtless ritual, but rather as a genuine heart expression of your desire to live dead to your self-life and totally under the Holy Spirit’s control.
I have my own confession that expresses my inward longing for the Lord Jesus to be glorified in me.
HCG. Moule (1841-1920) used the following Morning Confession:

I believe on the Son of God, therefore I am in Him, having redemption through His blood and life by His Spirit.
He is in me and all fullness is in Him.
To Him I belong by creation, purchase, conquest and self-surrender;
To me He belongs for all my hourly need.
There is no cloud between my Lord and me.
There is no difficulty inward or outward which he is not ready to meet in me today.
I believe I have received not the spirit of fearfulness, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. The Lord is my Keeper. Amen.
~~~
I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.

Psalm 18: 1-3 (ESV)
