REPENT!

 GOD has given us all an equal opportunity to get to Heaven.

No longer do we need to atone for our sins through the sacrificial offerings, but we need to truly believe in Jesus and repent.

A lot of modern day churches and clergy do not preach repentance.  This is an integral part of our redemption.

A "believer" cannot get to Heaven without repentance.  True belief comes with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.  And the Holy Spirit will convict us of our sinful past.

When this happens, all of a sudden, all the guilt of the past comes rushing up.  How do I know this?  Because I have been there.  I felt so guilty about my sins.  There is no way that I could not repent.

I found myself on my knees begging GOD to forgive the person that I was and begging GOD to make me into a new person.

Did I become a new person immediately?  Absolutely not.  It is a work in progress.  Day by day, little by little the new person emerges and is refined by GOD.

Do I still sin?  Absolutely.  I am not complete until I die and get to my FATHER.  However, I am convicted daily of the places where I sin.  And day by day, I go down on my knees and ask GOD to give me a repentant heart, a lowly heart and a heart for HIM only.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for the new creation that YOU are busy with in me.  FATHER I humbly pray that YOU give me a truly repentant heart, a lowly heart and heart for YOU only.  This I humbly pray in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay graciously Jesus Blessed today!
