Experiencing Spiritual Breakthroughs

by Bruce H. Wilkinson

To be thorough, I recommend praying through ten questions based on Paul’s inventory of the “acts of the sinful nature” in Galatians 5:19–21. Pray each request slowly and out loud to the Lord, then pause quietly for a few seconds and write down any additional sins. 1. “Lord, who do I need to forgive who has hurt me?” Pause and write. 2. “Who have I hurt?” Pause and write. 3. “Have I ever stolen anything from anyone?” Pause and write. 4. “Have I ever lied or purposefully misled anyone?” Pause and write. 5. “Have I ever purposefully gossiped about anyone?” Pause and write. 6. “Bring to my mind all sexual sins.” Pause and write. 7. “Do I have envy or hatred in my heart?” Pause and write. 8. “Have I sinned with drugs, alcohol, or wild parties?” Pause and write. 9. “In your sight, have I sinned in anger and wrath?” Pause and write. 10. “Do I have selfish ambition, or am I divisive?” Pause and write.
