Repentance

What does Repentance mean? It means that you are sorry for your sins and you turn from them. You change. You turn and walk away from your sinful ways you can. 

You can cry all the big alligator tears in the world , but if you do not change, all you did was give yourself a horrible headache.

Allowing the Lord to guide you when your first saved is easy. You are so on fire for the Lord. You want all of your friends to be saved. So you continue spending time with them. Before you know it, you are neglecting your walk with the Lord. You find it easier to just go along with your friends and do what you used to do.

What if I told you that you that you can really, truly, change? It is possible. If you find yourself in the same old lifestyle and you don't know HOW you got back there, just stop moving. Stop moving.

That's right. Stop and stand still. If you are still then you won't be moving in the wrong direction. And not moving is for the better. If we are still, we can ask the Lord about what is going on in our lives. We can also LISTEN to Him.  

Now that you have stopped and are listening, what is He telling you? CHANGE. Change. It's hard to do somedays. Somedays we wonder why we are finding it so hard to simply stop what is making us sin. Is it a habit that has gotten out of control or is it a person who you cannot stop being around? 

Real repentance means hard things will come your way because the enemy won't stop bothering. On the contrary he will harass you even more. He don't want you to be a God fearing person. No. He wants you to stay in your  sinful ways and continue to believe that God is a forgiving ,loving God and that he won't ever let you go to hell because you won't change. That is not entirely true. See Satan will tell you half truths. Just enough of the truth to get you to question just SOME of what God has said. 

God wants you to really repent. To turn from whatever you are in. To CHANGE your behavior or whatever it is that is keeping you bound. Repent.
