"Power of Repentance"


He who covers his sins WILL NOT prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them WILL have mercy. (Pro 28:13)

… "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" (Matt 3:2)

Humbling ourSELVES and repenting isn’t a shame-faced, weak-spirited attitude, for God commands we come trustingly and boldly to His throne of grace. (Hebrews 4:16) Instead, repentance is a broken–hearted, sin-sorry, spiritual POWER returning us to our rightful, higher place WITH God. And, furthermore, it’s through repentance—the remission of our sins—that our Father grants his obedient children the “knowledge of salvation” (Luke 1:77) we need for breaking free of every hindrance blocking His blessings from our lives. And because Abba wants us freed from Satan’s snares even more than we do, He’s ordained His power of repentance as the key for unlocking those chains, in Jesus’ name!

Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, "Let the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant." (Psalm 35:27)
