Ok everyone I’m at it again. This time I’m going to lay out some of what is in my mind and heart. As many of us are fasting right now we should be getting closer to God during this time. When you do, His voice can become clearer. During my time of fasting, He has me looking at my relationship with Him. This is kind of typical but, not in the usual manner. My last 2 blogs have dealt directly in this vain. The first about barriers between Himself and us. Then walking with Him in faith down a new path. Yet something is still missing. Its a subject that is not fun. Yes you have it, REPENTANCE.
Since the beginning of 2020 we have been hearing about blessings, prosperity and all the good this next year will bring. Only a few people are mentioning repentance. Why is that so? Simple, its not a topic people want to hear. And there is the problem. Tell me all that is good and the good that’s coming my way. This is the current way of thinking in the American church. Have you not read your Bible? It says that some will say that did we not prophecy in your name. Did we not do all these other things in your name? And yet Jesus said to go away for I do not know you. Why is this? How about the condition of their heart. Where was it at? The Bible also states the even the elect will be deceived. Why?
For the time of the end draws near. Confirmation of this comes from cross checking the bible with the news media. Everything that was good has become bad and vice versa. The Devil is working overtime now. He sees his time is running out. So, he wants to get as many as he can to give up their relationship with God. This is why repentance is vital right now. Get your relationship on track with God. Repent of your wrong doing. Ask for forgiveness. Receive a complete cleansing when you do. Now you are ready to go with God. For there is nothing getting in the way.
As mentioned earlier, people have been talking of blessings and all. This may be true, but until you have a clean walk there is still junk in the way. Its not that I’m against blessings. Its just first things first. Then the blessings will flow. We as a church have been doing things our way for too long. Its not about us. Its about God first and your neighbor second. If we follow God’s plan as laid out in His Word these blessings and such will come about. Remember that He wants obedience not sacrifice. We can’t even come close to what Jesus sacrificed for us.
Please folks, read the Bible and spend time in prayer. Ask for forgiveness. In Matt. 6:9 we have the “Lords prayer.” In the middle of it is the part of repentance. This comes before asking for deliverance from the evil one. King David asked for forgiveness right after he was told of his sin with Bathsheba. There was penalty to pay, but then the blessings came. These are but a couple of examples. Repent for the time draws soon upon us. Also remember that tomorrow is not guaranteed.
Be blessed, Ken
