Revival Conference 2007 - Keith Daniel - Part 10 — Keith Daniel

Coming Forward With a Contrite Heart

Come forward. We're going to make something holy here. Come forward and don't start speaking. Speak in your heart so that the other person doesn't have to listen to you. They can speak to God themselves.

If you're a lady, if you're not well, don't you kneel. It's not the outward kneeling that matters. It's the inner heart. To this man will I look, even to him that's of a broken spirit, a contrite heart.

Interceding for Genuine Repentance

If you're unconscious and abhorring what you've done to God's name, to your children, to your church, to souls, all you need to do is come and bow your heart, not necessarily your body. Those that are sitting, you have the right to pray for these people ahead you.

Please pray in your hearts that God will never let them recover. And if two or three of you agree, touching anything that's the will of God, and don't tell me you don't know that's God's will, it will be done.

So you all have the right to pray for them, to become like you are, obviously. Everyone, please forgive me. Just remember this. God does not look at the words that proceed out of the mouth. God does not look at the words that proceed out of the mouth.

He looks at the heart from whence they come. Now he's looking at your heart. And I'm going to lead you in a prayer, but that's not sin. That's not sin. As best as you can, let God know this is from your heart, with your prayer, though another man's leading you.

Because I don't want to leave you just to yourselves, and I haven't got counselors here that can take each one of you. So I'm going to lead you as best I know, that you don't go in circles and walk out of here the same, just confused of how to deal with it.

Praying to God Rather Than for Human Approval

So everyone, will you pray aloud with me, but only to God, not for the next man to hear you, please. Don't make men look at you saying, look at me. In a church, sir, be careful what you do. In any moment in a church, they're saying, look at me.

Even when you're praying or seeking God. It's God alone that matters, so speak in a way you know and he knows, and the devil knows. But it's only God that matters here, the way you pray. Will you all pray with me, please?

Confessing Sin and Asking for Forgiveness

Please pray. Oh, my God, forgive me for the shame of my life. The grief that I have caused thee, and so many who've been near me, and are conscious that I am a compromising Christian. Forgive me for every failure, every defiance of the standards of this book.

In my marriage, toward my enemy, in circumstance upon circumstance. Forgive me for defying thee, deliberately, calculatedly, knowingly, determinedly. Forgive me for the shame of my profession, and the grief I have been to God and man.

Forgive me for every sin, things I've forgotten, because I'm so base. I overlooked to confess. Forgive me. Let the blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, that cleanseth us from all sin, wash away all my sin.

Cleansing and Receiving a Fresh Start

In mercy, make me clean, make me pure in thine eyes. Let me have a fresh start as thy child, because of the blood of Jesus Christ. Let the blood go deeper, wash me through and through, and through and through, and through and through.

A Clean Heart and Absolute Surrender

Create in me a clean heart, oh God. Renew the right spirit within me. A steadfast, consistent, walking in the standard of this book, by the grace of God. I lay my life on the altar of God. I absolutely surrender.

I give up the fight on every issue, and I implore thee that thou would fill me with the Holy Spirit. By that I mean, take control of the special, total control. Take my life and let it be consecrated.

The Holy Spirit's Victory in Daily Conduct

Lord, to thee, and let the evidence of the sincerity of my prayer be seen from the next step I take. The next look I look. The next thought I think. The next word I utter. The next reaction I react. No matter how trying the circumstances, that I will spontaneously have the victory of the Holy Spirit, the fruit of the Spirit, and I will reveal Christ.

Walking in the Light Without Presuming Perfection

Help me to know that I am not sinlessly perfected by what I have done tonight, but that I can live in victory in the light I have been given. And as I walk in the light that God has given me, the blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, continually cleanses me from sins committed in ignorance, which the Old Testament people had to make sacrifice to God for, by shedding of blood.

Continuing to Yield to Increasing Light

And therefore, Jesus shed his blood for sins committed in ignorance. But I know that the path of the just is a shining light, that shines more and more unto the perfect day. Until the day thou dost take me home, more light must come that I must continually yield to.

But I can live by thy grace in the light I have been given. If one isolated failure comes on my road to the celestial city, with all the power of hell against me, help me not to give up, but to get up.

To confess that one sin in shame, and to look to the blood, and not to allow another sin to come.
