“So not only does consideration precede enlightenment, but confession precedes forgiveness. How in the world can you be forgiven if you don't confess and acknowledge your sin? Scripture says, "Whoso confesseth and forsaketh his sin shall have mercy, but he that covereth his sin shall not prosper." Then in 1 John 1:9 he said, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." And the third principle I pointed out was disobedience precedes judgment. Daniel admits that everything that had happened had come upon them because of their disobedience.”
