Woe to me! I am destroyed! For I am a man of unclean lips. (Isa6:5)
When I came to God, I knew that I was a sinner. The consciousness is not ambiguous. I must be conscious of the guilt of some aspect of my life. It’s easy to say for people, “Yes, I am a sinner.” But when he once came to God, he could not escape by saying this. The conscious mind will focus on— “this is not me, that’s not right.” This is the sign of man’s coming to God. The consciousness of sin is not blurred, but must be focused on personal something. In the beginning, God has always accused us of something in our hearts through the holy spirit. If we confess our sins in this matter, he leads us into the ultimate sin. If we are before God, he always does this to us.
This experience of concentrating evil makes no difference to the greatest saint or the smallest sinner. The person on the first rung of this experience will say, “I do not know what my fault is, but the spirit of God will point out one thing in which I have erred.” When Isaiah saw the holy God, he perceived that he was a man of unclear lips. And he touched it with my mouth, and said, behold, this hath touched my lips; and my sins are taken away, and my sins are forgiven. A clean fire must be used where sin is concentrated.
Dear God, may your purity permeate our minds, bodies and feelings; let us be fully cognizant and quickly manifest your vivacious and enlivening deeds. May your abundant power come into our lives.
