Prayer Confession Confess: to admit or own up to. As Christians, confession begins by admitting to God that we are indeed lost, helpless, hell-deserving sinners. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10). In other words, faith in the heart produces confession with the mouth. After we are saved, confession should be an ongoing exercise of soul. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness…And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (1 John 1:9; 2:1). This is a child of God coming and confessing those things that they have allowed in their life that are sinful and defiling and not according to God’s holy standard. This brings a moral cleansing to the soul, and keeps us in sweet communion with God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
