of God, but still has guilt feelings, what should he do?
- Have you confessed
all known sin to God and made right every wrong done to others as
far as it lies within your ability to do so? (Read Matthew
5:23,24.) If not, what further action do you need to take?
- Think of someone
in your family or place of business who doesn't know Christ. How could
you influence them to believe in the vitality and excitement of living
for Christ?

unconfessed sins that are short-circuiting God's power in you life?
Take a few moments to list on a piece of paper any sins that the Holy
Spirit reveals to you. Write 1
John 1:9 across the list, claiming the verse by faith for your
life. Then destroy the list and make restitution, if necessary.
