The Holy Spirit communicates with us consistently through conviction.  Because of the Father’s great love for us He points out the errors of our ways. When we refuse to respond to His voice, then His presence moves away from us. So being sensitive to conviction is an important aspect of practicing the presence of God in our daily life. A worshipping lifestyle necessitates consistent confession and repentance. It’s not that were under condemnation, but we just enjoy being clean. Just like we should enjoy a daily shower or bath. Confession and repentance develops the habit of being flexible and pliable before God, within ministry and throughout life. It positions us to move with him and to grow into the calling His has for us!  We want to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s confession!  Pray this prayer for being sensitive to the Holy Spirit Conviction. It’s crafted from Hosea 5:1-9.  This scripture is also  listed below.

Prayer

Lord, let me hear Your call. Open my ears to hear Your voice. Sensitize my heart to Your Spirit’s conviction.  I don’t want to be a child You must discipline. Make me compliant with Your will. You know me in and out, nothing in my life is hidden from You. So many times my deeds are corrupt acts of idolatry which is nothing more than spiritual prostitution. The worst part is this sin keeps Your involvement in my life at arms length. Lord help me! I am actively pushing away Your warm embrace.  My prideful acts of self-reliance fall back on me testifying of my need for You.  No wonder I haven’t been able to feel Your presence or see Your intervention when I’ve called on Your name.  Forgive me for only calling on You when I was in a jam.  Your manifest presence left a long time ago and I didn’t even know it.  I’m left with half finished projects that did not start with You and it looks like they’ll not end with You either. No wonder my religion is useless and I am taken captive in life.  Lord, I respond to Your call and Your conviction. I return to You now, repenting of all my idols and acknowledging You as Lord.

Hosea 5:1-9

“Hear this, you priests! Pay attention, you Israelites! Listen, royal house! This judgment is against you: You have been a snare at Mizpah, a net spread out on Tabor. The rebels are knee-deep in slaughter. I will discipline all of them. I know all about Ephraim; Israel is not hidden from me. Ephraim, you have now turned to prostitution; Israel is corrupt. “Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. A spirit of prostitution is in their heart; they do not acknowledge the Lord. Israel’s arrogance testifies against them; the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble in their sin; Judah also stumbles with them. When they go with their flocks and herds to seek the Lord, they will not find him; he has withdrawn himself from them. They are unfaithful to the Lord; they give birth to illegitimate children. When they celebrate their New Moon feasts, he will devour their fields. “Sound the trumpet in Gibeah, the horn in Ramah.Raise the battle cry in Beth Aven; lead on, Benjamin. Ephraim will be laid waste on the day of reckoning. Among the tribes of Israel I proclaim what is certain.

Help Me Help People Grow!

Most people don’t know where to start growing spiritually. I can assure you the starting point is prayer and Bible reading. Still most people don’t know how or where to start.  Royal Perspectives is a great place to start.  My desire is to connect people to God by connecting them to the scriptures and prayer.  When one prays the Bible, they pray the perfect will of God. Praying the scriptures consistently will produce spiritual growth.

As people pray the written prayers, they catch prayer in their spirit.  When this happens people discover the God that saved them.
