We are living in a time of great distractions.
We have the choice how and with whom we spent our time, energy, money etc.
The Lord has shown me a situation how to better understand repentance or conversion. As I was driving my car on a street, the Spirit suddenly told me to turn around. It was a main road with lots of oncoming traffic. And I thought, that’s just not possible. As I drove on I came into a roundabout with several exits, I took the last exit and drove back in the opposite direction. When the Spirit calls us to repentance, then He always gives us grace and the opportunity to do so. This grace is meant for the humble ones who realize that in areas of their lifestyle they do not agree with the Word of God. Now what is the biblical meaning of repentance. The Greek word metanoeo implies a change, a rethinking, a change of mind. It all starts with a new way of thinking. Change of thinking is only possible when we spent time with GOD and in the bible. This should become our first priority in life. Thoughts become feelings and feelings become actions and the wrong actions are called sin. This I believe is our biggest battle. The battle against our sinful nature, our flesh. We all face these battles. But how can we overcome or repent. Please read Galatians 5 verses 16 to 25.
2. Chronicles 7 verses 14 and 15 says:
14 and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land. 15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer offered in this place. (AMP)
So let us not participate in the wickedness of the end times. Just like making money and wasting it, or wasting time in front of the TV instead of prayer and reading your bible. Give your Savior more time and show HIM how much you love HIM. HE loved you first and gave HIS life so you can have fellowship with your heavenly father.
May you be blessed while seeking truth.
