The Prayer Of Repentance By Rodney Howard Browne

If we are going to be anointed, the one thing we have to do is repent. Repent. One thing that a child of God should be able to do more than anything is repent. You know First John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Do you know that verse was not written for the sinner. I am hearing some evangelists telling the sinners, "If you confess your sins, He is faithful and just to forgive you." That is not written for the sinners. First of all, if the sinner comes who has been unsaved for forty years, and he confesses his sins, he is going to have to confess for forty years. He has a lot of sins to confess. That verse is written to the born-again believer.

First John was written to the Church. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. That covers all types of sins. That covers the sins of omission and the sins of commission; the sins that you know about and the sins you don't know about.

Sometimes you offend people without ever realizing you did it. But if you repent, God forgives you, washes you, cleanses you. That is why you better not walk around criticizing people. They might be walking in repentance and while you are criticizing them, you are criticizing the blood of Jesus. Repent, the Bible says. If we want to be anointed of God, we need to repent.

Do Not Deceive Yourselves

Some people want to pull the wool over God's eyes. They are walking in unforgiveness. They are walking in strife. They are walking in bitterness. They are walking in pride and they come and sit in church and they want the blessings of God. They want the anointing of God. The Lord can't anoint that. God is not going to anoint sin. God is not going to anoint the flesh. God is not going to anoint some little lying devil.

You look at some pastors and realize why they never see a move of God in their church. They talk, but they never fulfill their talk. All of it is politics, to be honest with you.

God is not going to anoint a heart that is not a heart of integrity. God cannot anoint a heart that is not pure. God cannot anoint a heart that has ulterior motives. God cannot anoint a heart like Simon the sorcerer who said to Peter, "Give me this power." He wanted to buy it. He wanted to pay money for it.

Peter said, "Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchase with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God" (Acts 8:19- 21).

God Anoints the Truth

God wasn't going to anoint Simon the sorcerer. Then you realize why the Church is dead. God cannot anoint a lie. You think, If the pastor has no integrity, God have mercy on the poor congregation. They don't stand a chance.

Rodney Howard Browne feels that God has called them to teach the body of Christ, by example, how to create an atmosphere in the church, through the worship of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, so that the presence of God can be made welcome and so that He can touch His children as He sees fit. Jesus said that if He is lifted up then He would draw all men unto Himself. Our job is to lift Him up and not be ashamed of the Word of God or the Spirit of God.

why does my grass start out green and by mid summer its brown even after watering and fertilizing.?

Rain water works much better than tap water. Recent summer drought conditions have stressed our lawns. They're simply becoming dormant during these times. Getting stressed over it isn't helping you at all. I was in turmoil about mine and eventually the lawn came back after I just let it rest.
