Repentance 2
All the trials of your relationships can be set free by repentance
The ills of disagreement between all people is not a life sentence
Open your heart and forgive every occurrence of mistrust you have perceived
It is not the giver that holds all the blame but part is on the head of the receiver
Repentance will free you to love and receive the full blessings heaven can give
How great would it be to walk free and without stress, what a way to live!
Anything that troubles you lift high to the heavens where it will be received
Removed from your life and taken captive no longer your life it will deceive
From one to another your highest goal is to forgive each other
Walk side by side with all the believers and treat them like your sisters and brothers
Without repentance a great divide will separate the people of all nations
Keep your focus on the fact that each one of you is My creation
Wholly loved and made for My pleasure are the faithful in the land
Search your heart and soul to see if there is any baggage you keep on hand
Things of the past that were left unattended to fester and create a sore
Once you see and recognize the hurt your repentance will not allow it to trouble you anymore
(Mat 3:11 NRSV) “I baptize you with water for repentance, but one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
(Luke 5:32 NRSV) I have come to call not the righteous but sinners to repentance.”
(Luke 15:7 NRSV) Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
(Luke 17:3 NRSV) Be on your guard! If another disciple sins, you must rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive.
(Acts 19:4 NRSV) Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus.”
(2 Cor 7:9 – 10 NRSV) 9 – Now I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because your grief led to repentance; for you felt a godly grief, so that you were not harmed in any way by us. 10 – For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret, but worldly grief produces death.
(Heb 6 ;4 – 6 NIV) 4 – It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 – who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, 6 – if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
