This is where confession comes in. When I have God's Spirit and it is working or rather I am allowing it to work within me, my heart is soft as molten lead and God can refine me. Then I have real power and really move mountains. When I deny the Spirit, my heart hearkens and I cannot move a speck of dirt. But when I am accepting of my guilt and I confess it before God (Nehemiah 1:6,7) then I go before the throne, God's Spirit descends upon me even further (Leviticus 5:5) and it extends to an acknowledment that I and my ancestors are unclean and need Him. (Leviticus 6:10) I am consumed with repentance that I so desperately need. (Psalms 31:10) I also come to understand the consequences (Numbers 5:5-7) and my delivery from them, the sin that I hid, and future sinful behaviour. (Judges 10:1-5, I Samuel 12:10) God gives me ample opportunity to repent. He wants my whole heart. (I Kings 8:47) and a humble heart. (Ezra 9:6; Nehemiah 9:2, 33-35; Job 7:20; Job 40:4,5) He knows the depression I go through when I keep inside that I have sinned. (Psalms 28:13). Psalms 31 and 32 show me how much confession is a relief to me and binds me to God because I come to realize who I am and what the power of God is. By confessiong in front of His throne, I am dealng with and remembering that I dealt with the fact that 1) He made me, as He did the rest of the universe, 2) I am not the one in control of nature but He is. I am so blemished I cannot count the times I should have had the stripes that Jesus took for my sins. And then I realize the ultimate nature of sin, the separation from God and my allowing the crack in my relationship with Him. (Psalm 51:3,4)
