     Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method) 

      https://bishopsilas.blogspot.com/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html

1.  Pray for the Holy Spirit to shine on you that you are able to discover your sins and be willing to repent:

     “Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God and having Jesus as my Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

2.  Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:

     "Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sins to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gifts to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

           "Heavenly Father, I pray that this day I may live in your presence and please you more and more.

             Lord Jesus, I pray that this day I may take up my cross and follow you.

             Holy Spirit, I pray that this day you will fill me with yourself and cause your fruit to ripen in my life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."

Key passage:

    Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise,

    in the city of our God, his holy mountain.

      As we have heard,

    so we have seen
in the city of the Lord Almighty,
    in the city of our God:
God makes her secure
    forever.

                       Psalm 48:1,8

            

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through today's TWA passage we have just read. Offer this time to Jesus as you listen to Him.

The topic I received today from Jesus is: Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise!

     I deeply believe that the best way to kick out Satan's work using all kinds of calamity to bring darkness to this world is to give to our Great Lord the most worthy of praise!

   
  But, for most people, their lifestyle is great on social media, TV, more money, more power, more everything, those things are worthy of spending much time to focus on!

    No! Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise!

    If you can help yourself and other people to be like this:
    All kind of desire is nothing, does not worth to spend time on each day!
    Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise!

    Then, I believe you are already in His city, being protected and blessed!
  

     Dear Lord Jesus, 

     Lead us to worship you as our great Lord and to offer you our most worthy of praise.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Reflect on these questions:    

1. What inspiration have you received from today's catch and what have you heard from Jesus now?

     2.  What is your next step to be more closer to Jesus, to be holy - that is to do what Jesus wants you to do and not to do what Jesus wants you not to do?
