Wash
me
clean
from
my
guilt.
Purify
me
from
my
sin.
Psalm
51:
2
NLT
But
if
we
confess
our
sins
to
him,
he
is
faithful
and
just
to
forgive
us
our
sins
and
to
cleanse
us
from
all
wickedness.
1
John
1:9
NLT
No$ce
how
the
verses
above
talk
about
washing
and
cleansing.
Today,
we
will
talk
about
how
the
Word
of
God
can
clean
us
up
from
the
inside
out.
Just
like
we
use
SOAP
to
clean
our
bodies,
we
can
use
S.O.A.P.
to
clean
our
hearts.
Many
people
have
experienced
an
amazing
transforma$on
in
their
thought
paGerns,
aHtudes,
and
behavior,
simply
by
prac$cing
this
habit
of
using
S.O.A.P
daily:
S:
SCRIPTURE
Reading:
Having
your
Bible
laying
around
the
house
wont
change
you,
much
like
buying
soap
bars
wont
clean
you
automa$cally.
Youve
got
to
break
open
that
wrapper
and
start
using
it.
So
everyday,
Open
your
Bible
and
start
reading
SCRIPTURE.
You
can
follow
a
Yearly
Bible
Reading
plan
(there
are
many
online)
or
perhaps
you
can
begin
with
the
book
of
Proverbs.
Its
simple.
(For
example,
its
March
20,
so
you
read
Proverbs
Chap.20
that
day).
O:
OBSERVATION:
You
will
no$ce
that
as
you
read,
certain
verses
seem
to
jump
at
you.
Underline/
Highlight
and
take
note
of
those
verses
that
have
an
impact
on
you.
These
are
the
verses
that
speak
to
your
heart
that
day.
(Some
days
youll
have
many,
some
days
just
1
or
2).
Use
a
journal
to
record
the
verses
and
your
observa$ons.
In
your
own
words,
write
a
simple
prayer
based
on
what
you
just
learned,
then
ask
God
for
the
power
to
apply
these
truths
in
your
life.
In
conclusion:
Think
about
ita
bar
of
SOAP.
Such
a
small
thing
but
it
can
clean
and
refresh
and
revitalized
any
person
of
any
size,
of
any
dirt,
of
any
age.
Especially
when
used
daily!
Now
think
about
the
impact
of
your
spiritual
S.O.A.P.
Imagine
the
power
of
Gods
Word
when
read
&
applied
everyday!
It
will
break
wrong
mindsets,
arm
how
valuable
you
are,
improve
rela$onships,
give
you
wisdom
for
school
or
work,
most
of
all
awaken
your
heart
to
how
deeply
God
loves
you
that
he
sent
Jesus
to
be
your
Savior,
and
the
washer
of
your
sins.
Try
S.O.A.P
today
and
make
it
a
habit
for
life.

This
Book
of
the
Law
shall
not
depart
from
your
mouth,
but
you
shall
meditate
on
it
day
and
night,
so
that
you
may
be
careful
to
do
according
to
all
that
is
wriHen
in
it.
For
then
you
will
make
your
way
prosperous,
and
then
you
will
have
good
success.
Joshua
1:8
(ESV)
Prayer:
Dear
Heavenly
Father,
There
are
so
many
things
that
need
cleaning
up
in
me
and
I
cant
do
it
on
my
own.
I
need
wisdom
in
so
many
areas
of
my
life.
I
need
the
power
of
your
words
and
your
Holy
Spirit
to
come
and
help
me.
Give
me
the
daily
desire
to
read
Scripture,
because
it
is
reading
your
wisdom
that
will
radically
improve
my
life,
more
than
the
daily
reading
of
my
text
messages,
email,
or
the
internet.
As
I
read
my
Bible
daily,
please
open
my
eyes
to
your
teachings
and
how
I
can
apply
it
in
my
life.
I
ask
your
Holy
Spirit
to
guide
me,
give
me
a
willing
heart
and
the
discipline
to
obey
you.
Thank
you
for
the
changes
and
breakthroughs
you
have
prepared
for
me.
In
Jesus
Name,
Amen.
Then
you
will
call
on
me
and
come
and
pray
to
me,
and
I
will
listen
to
you.
Jeremiah
10:12
