People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated.

CONFESSION 9

HEALING

I cry unto the Lord because He is my healer. He sends His Word and I am healed. He was wounded for my transgressions and bruised for my iniquities. The chastisement of my peace was upon Him and by His stripes I am healed. Heal me O Lord and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved. The Holy Spirit likewise helps my infirmities when I pray. The Lord Jesus Christ takes my infirmities and bares my sicknesses. He has taken my sin upon His body when He died on the tree that I, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness. By His stripes I am healed. I am complete in Him. He opens the eyes of the blind.
