Rely on Jesus Alone for Acceptance with God

Adoration 1.20 | KJV

I must profess my entire reliance on the Lord Jesus Christ alone for acceptance with God and come in his name.

I do not present my supplication before thee for my righteousness, Daniel 9:18(KJV) for I am before thee in my trespasses, Ezra 9:15(KJV) and cannot stand before thee because of them; Psalm 130:3(KJV) but I make mention of Christ’s righteousness, even of his only, who is the Lord our righteousness, Jeremiah 23:6(KJV) and therefore the Lord my righteousness.

I know that even spiritual sacrifices are acceptable to God only through Christ Jesus, 1 Peter 2:5(KJV) nor can I hope to receive any thing but what I ask of thee in his name; John 16:23(KJV) and therefore, make me accepted in the Beloved, Ephesians 1:6(KJV) that other angel, who put much incense to the prayers of saints and offers them up upon the golden altar before the throne. Revelation 8:3(KJV)

I come in the name of the great High Priest who is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, who was touched with the feeling of my infirmities, Hebrews 4:14-15(KJV) and is therefore able to save to the uttermost all those that come to God by him, because he ever lives, making intercession. Hebrews 7:25(KJV)

Behold, O God, my shield, and look upon the face of thine Anointed, Psalm 84:9(KJV) in whom thou hast by a voice from heaven declared thyself to be well pleased; Lord, be well pleased with me in him. Matthew 3:17(KJV)

I must beg for the powerful assistance and influence of the blessed Spirit of grace in my prayers.

Lord, I know not what to pray for as I ought, but let thy Spirit help my infirmities and make intercession for me. Romans 8:26(KJV)

O pour upon me the Spirit of grace and supplication, Zechariah 12:10(KJV) the Spirit of adoption teaching me to cry, Abba, Father; Romans 8:15(KJV) that I may find in my heart to pray this prayer: O send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me, let them guide me to thy holy hill and thy tabernacles; to God, my exceeding joy. Psalm 43:3-4(KJV)

O Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise. Psalm 51:15(KJV)

I must make the glory of God my highest end in all my prayers.

This is that which thou, O Lord, hast said, that thou wilt be sanctified in them that come nigh unto thee, and before all the people thou wilt be glorified. Leviticus 10:3(KJV) I therefore worship before thee, O Lord, that I may glorify thy name; Psalm 86:9(KJV) and therefore I call upon thee, that thou mayest deliver me, and I may glorify thee. Psalm 50:15(KJV)

For of thee and through thee and to thee are all things. Romans 11:36(KJV)

Entreat God’s Favorable Acceptance

Adoration 1.18 | KJV

I must entreat God’s favourable acceptance of me and my poor performances.

There be many that say, Who will show us any good? But this I say, Lord, lift up the light of thy countenance upon me, and that shall put gladness into my heart, more than they have whose corn and wine increaseth. Psalm 4:6-7(KJV)

I entreat thy favour with my whole heart, Psalm 119:58(KJV) for in this I labour, that whether present or absent, I may be accepted of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:9(KJV)

Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications; in thy faithfulness answer me, Psalm 143:1(KJV) and be nigh unto me in all that which I call upon thee for; Deuteronomy 4:7(KJV) for thou never saidst to the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain. Isaiah 45:19(KJV)

Thou that hearest the young ravens which cry, Psalm 147:9(KJV) be not silent to me, lest if thou be silent to me, I be like them that go down to the pit. Psalm 28:1(KJV)

Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, and the lifting up of my hands be acceptable in thy sight as the evening sacrifice. Psalm 141:2(KJV)
