James 5 : 16
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

Ok , I have to be honest . I have been one of those so called " private persons " who all my life was afraid to tell any one wrong things I have done . I guess it is because I did tell some one and got nothing but condemnation and then it was thrown up in my face from time to time. Lesson in the school of hard knocks .... learned.

Admitting our wrongs :

1 ....First we must admit our wrongs to God
2.... Then admit our wrongs to ourselves.
3.....Then we admit our wrongs to another person. But, I must caution please make sure it is a person of integrety and honour and some one that you trust and that you know God has instucted you to tell . Otherwise like me that can be devastating.

God invites us to the spiritual discipline of confession. Confession is an act of obedience and is Biblical. It is imperative with a promise of healing.
