The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. You ask of Me, but you do not receive because there is some sin that you have yet to confess to Me. I want to bless you, but I cannot while there is something still between us. Ask of Me and I will show you what it is that you are to confess so that our relationship flourish instead of being stagnant and lifeless. My loves, I Am not angry with you, for I love you with everlasting love, and this love compels Me to reveal to you anything that is unresolved so that we have a vibrant relationship, full of love and great expectations. This is when we communicate at a deep level, Spirit to Spirit, and your soul be edified in My will and My ways. But when you hold something back this relationship suffers and is less than it could be. I encourage you to confess to Me these things, and do not fear what I may do to you if you confess to Me, for it is better than not confessing and your lives suffer. In Me you are freed from sin and our relationship is as it should be, so confess and be at peace.
James 4:1-12 (ESV) What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? 2 You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. 4 You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”? 6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. 11 Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. 12 There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
