Do I look fat in these pants? Brent Phillips – Encounter Houston

Do we really want an honest answer to the question “Do these pants make me look fat?” Are we willing to make changes if the answer is not what we want to hear? Do we ask God to lead us but only where we want to go? We need to be honest and do an assessment of where we really are. Our ability to be honest is our ability to receive and to see God in ways that we never have.

James 5:16 "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."

A powerful prayer starts with honesty. Before you can confess your sin you have to admit that you have sinned. Can we take an honest look at our life? God is waiting for us to confess our sins and pray for each other so that he can come into our life with healing. When we are honest with ourselves God will meet us right where we are and strengthen us.

2Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

Until you are able to love Jesus more than anything else in your life you will be unable to be the person you need to be.

You cannot claim to serve God but have conditions that he has to work with. You must give fully of yourself and hold nothing back. Only then can God work through you. We need to be willing to lay down everything and be willing to sacrifice anything. God will give you what you really need.

Revival will come when we are honest with ourselves and God. We need revival in our life so that God can work through us. Revive your heart and God will revive your spirit.

When you are willing to change God will change you.
