My dear friend,

As we have been discussing in our past E-Letters there is no set formula, rule, or procedure for Coming Clean.  At Coming Clean Ministries we know that life has no guarantees but Coming Clean does!  It liberates us.

SEVEN STEPS IN COMING CLEAN

The Seven Steps in Coming Clean are an adaptation of the Twelve Steps used in the devotionals reading plan of the Recovery Bible.  These steps were adopted from the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.  I have decided to use seven because this is the number in the Bible, which symbolizes completion.  God created the world in six days and rested the seventh.

• I believe that I am powerless to break the chains that hold me in bondage and prohibit me from Coming Clean.

• I believe in a power greater than me that can help me to Come Clean and thus be liberated.

• I have decided to turn my will and life over to God as I ask Him for the power to Come Clean.

• I have made a searching and fearless inventory of myself and identified the critical issues I need to Come Clean about and those to whom I have to Come Clean with.

• I have Come Clean with God, family and those whom I have hurt over issues that are paramount in our lives.

• I have asked God to give me a contrite heart about those issues that I need to Come Clean about.

• I have asked God to give me the strength to be transparent before Him and others.

My friend, I have Come Clean, and will pray to Stay Clean.

God Bless,
Jorge
