To Repent (re pent) : to feel sorry, self-reproachful, or contrite for past conduct; regret or be conscience-stricken about a past action, attitude, etc.

I hope that this level of Truth, vulnerability and thirst for the “promises of God” convinces my brothers and sisters to reflect on their lives and repent for what’s keeping Christ from fully using you in His army as you’ve been designed. Ask that He may reveal the “blind spots” to you and guide you through this life in Spirit and in Truth. For anyone who stumbled upon this as a  non-believer I hope that the authentic voice of this message convicts you of the need for something deeper, more personal and real that calls to your deeper eternal spirit of community and relatedness in Him as a son/daughter of the Father.
 
May my revelatory, transparency and desire for His word bring truth and inspire someone else without condemnation, but rather conviction to bring attention to the need for change and the promise of freedom possible when darkness meets light. (Matthew 11:30) “My yoke is easy and my burden is light.” May this not only lighten your burden, but encourage us to daily take up His yoke and leave our mess of confusion, frustration, self-actualization and temptation behind in exchange for a life of freedom, forgiveness and faith-filled opportunities to see Him.

This is an brief account of the many things that I’ve done over the short vapor called “my life” that desire a deeper response for the price paid for my life. The cross, a symbol known world wide, is not a sign of how much man is worth, but rather a lonely reminder of how depraved we are and how the only thing that could save us from us is God’s one and only Son – Jesus. Jesus did not come to save us for us, but from us.
 
When will we fully embrace the call to show up with hearts in hand and tears streaming begging for forgiveness and thirsting His will above all else. Words may fail and tears may come, but His promise is unchanging. May we walk in that freedom in knowing that there is more work to be done and it all begins with a sincere promise that doesn’t waver as the ocean flows, but rather acts as a solid foundation for Truth and the church of Christ to be built so that as the day nears and the narrow path clears your on the right side of the promise of God. (John 10:10 says ” I came that you may have life, and have it abundantly) I ask you now…please read the verse 3 times in your head and then another 3 times in your heart and ask yourself…”which side of the comma are you on? Did you come to have life? Or did you come to have life more abundantly? The way you answer that question will challenge the way you live your life. I hope we all find the courage to repent and stare the Enemy in the face of it’s many masked personalities knowing that Kingdom is coming and His will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven. There I shall receive my promise of “abundant life”, how about you?
