YOU DON'T NEED TO CLEANSE YOURSELF BEFORE PRAYING
YOU DON'T NEED TO CLEANSE YOURSELF BEFORE PRAYING

Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
In most prayer meetings that I have been to, they begin by confessing their sins and asking God’s forgiveness and cleansing before they kick into prayer. Even in the church that I grew up from, this was the norm. This is not consistent with scriptures. To them if you don’t cleanse yourself, God will not hear you. They will even quote an Old testament scripture which says, If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: (Psalms 66:18).
This was before the cross. After the cross, you need to know that things have changed. God does not hear our prayer because we do good things. God hears us because of Jesus. Jesus is the foundation and guarantee of answered prayer. After the healing of the man at the beautiful gate, Peter said, .....”Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?” (Acts 3:12)
