Recognition of My presence with you comes when you daily reckon yourself dead to sin and alive to Me. Everyone sins and falls short of My glory. I never want you to be under condemnation when you do fall short of My glory. Instead, I desire for you to confess your sins to Me. Confession is simply lining up in agreement with Me that you have sinned. I have already forgiven you of all your sins when I died for your sins. When you received Me as your Lord and Savior, the slate of your sins - past, present, and future was wiped clean with My blood.
John wrote that if you confess your sins, I am faithful and just to forgive you of all your sins and to cleanse you of all unrighteousness. You were made righteous when you received and believed that I died for your sins. However, you still sin because you still have your flesh that wars against My Spirit. James exhorted the saints to confess their sins to one another so that they would be healed. Confession is not for My sake because I already know how you have sinned. Confession is for your sake. Cleansing is a process that begins the moment you bring your sin into the light of My love.
Daily ask My Holy Spirit to help your confess anything that needs confession. He will help you. Once you have confessed, then thank Me for cleansing you. You will then have no wall of separation between you and Me. I never leave you, but sometimes unconfessed sin will interefere with your fellowship with Me.
