Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant, cleansing as His Bride, getting ready for His soon return as our Bridegroom,
Please join us for these last days of this repentance cleanse, and then a Global Day of Repentance on Sunday, April 30: www.globalrepent.com
It's important to look at what IS repentance. It starts with a decision. Here is the definition from Jack Hayford, a great teacher, recently passed, now with The Teacher in heaven:
Repent, metanoeo. Strong's #3340. From meta, "after" and noeo, "to think" .
Repentance is a decision that results in a change of mind, which in turn leads to a change of purpose and action.
The First Call of the Kingdom is to repentance. The implications of biblical repentance are three-fold. 1) renunciation and reversal, 2) submission and teachability, and 3) continual shapeability. There is no birth into the kingdom without hearing the call to salvation, renouncing one's sin, and turning from sin toward Christ the Savior (Acts 3:19).
There is no growth in the kingdom without obedience to Jesus' commandments and a childlike responsiveness as a disciple of Jesus, yielding to the teaching of God's Word (James 1: 21-25).
There is no lifelong increase of fruit as a citizen of the kingdom without a willingness to accept the Holy Spirit's correction and guidance (Ephesians 4:30).
At Matthew 3:2, page 1293, New Spirit Filled Life Bible, Jack Hayford.
