Prayer Summary June 11

Prayed…

Lord, we want our praise to be a sweet sound to You
We worship You and are thankful for the importations of Your Spirit
It is so wonderful to know that You have a plan for us
And not through our own ability, but all through the blood of Jesus
We thank You for what Jesus did on the cross and that He is NOT dead
New life began with the resurrection of Jesus!

The following excerpt is taken from Living in the Balance of Grace & Faith Andrew Wommack:

No Excuse

In this was manifested the Love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
1 John 4:9

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have ever lasting life.
John 3:16

If you comprehend these scriptures, you have zero excuse for ever being depressed discouraged, defeated, or feeling lonely. You might think you have reasons, but you have no excuse. You have the knowledge it takes to set you free from the rule of emotion if you would just meditate on the truth saying, “Father, You love me.”

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Rom 5:8

This love that God gave us through Jesus didn’t come in response to your goodness or because you’ve merited it by praying, fasting, and studying the Word. It wasn’t because you humbled yourself and started being a good person. Think about what this verse says: God commended His love toward us—even died for us—while we were yet sinners!

A Religious Hypocrite

You may have been a “good” sinner or a “bad” one, but we’ve all sinned and come short of His glory. (Rom. 3:23) Compared to other people, you might look good, but compared to Jesus, we are all an offense against God. We have all fallen short of where God wanted us to be. The Lord doesn’t look down on anyone and say, “Oh, they’re so close. They are so good that I’ve got to help them and give them a little bit of a boost.” No, from God’s perspective—perfection—we’ve all fallen short of what He wants us to be. None of us was worth God sending His Son to die in our place. No one deserves the love of God.

Before you can really understand how much God loves you, you have to quit loving yourself so much. You must quit thinking that you are such a feather in God’s cap that He just couldn’t live without you. You must come to the end of yourself, quit trusting in yourself, and recognize where you are.

Although I had already been born again at age eight, the experience that turned my life around came when I was eighteen years old. I had become a religious Pharisee. I was living such a holy life that I was holier than the pastor of our church! I was leading more people to the Lord per week than he was. I’ve never in all of my life spoken a word of profanity. I’m almost sixty years old now. I’ve never taken a drink of liquor, smoked a cigarette, or even tasted coffee.

I was living a holy life, but I had fallen into this deception of trusting in my own goodness. As long as I thought that God owed something to me, I would never have a great revelation of how much He loved me. But on March 23, 1968, when I was eighteen years old, God just pulled back a curtain from before my eyes. It was a supernatural revelation. He shined His light on me and I saw myself for who I really was. Although I had been born again, I was a religious hypocrite.

The Beginning of God

You may have lied, stolen, committed sexual immorality, and done all kinds of other things that I never did, but I doubt very seriously that you have ever seen yourself as more of a sinner than I have. I saw myself from God’s perspective. I saw how vile I was—my hypocrisy, my religiosity—and I came to the end of myself. I turned myself inside out confessing my sin for over an hour. I fully expected the Lord to kill me. I had been told that God was the One who killed my dad when I was twelve years old. I thought that God judged us. When I saw how bad I was, I thought it was the first time God had seen it too, and I fully expected Him to kill me on the spot. Honestly, I’m not exaggerating. I never expected to live through the night. So I just confessed everything—not only my actions, but my thoughts, emotions, and attitudes too. I turned myself inside out, hoping that before God killed me, I would repent enough that He would at least take me into heaven.

To my surprise, when I humbled myself and quit putting any faith or confidence in myself, the love of God flowed into my life in a way that just revolutionized me. For four and a half months, I was caught up in the presence of God. The Lord just loved me. Yet I never would have understood the depth of God’s love if I were thinking there was something I did or deserve it.

If you are still maintaining your own righteousness, then you’ll never truly understand God’s love. You have to come to the end of yourself. That’s why God gave the Old Testament Law, to expose how ungodly we were—to bring us to the end of ourselves. The law condemns. It’s harsh. Its purpose was to bring you to the end of yourself because only when you come to the end of yourself do you find the beginning of God.
