Repent – face the Light Change Your Mind, Change Your Life This is not a time for believers in Christ to be in fear or despair. God, our Father, is very actively revealing His goodness on Earth, NOW. Those who come into agreement with Him and His Word will know His goodness and will participate with Him in revealing His love. It is very important for believers in Jesus not to look at the current darkness of the world more than they are looking at the light of God’s glory. I sought Jehovah, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him, and were filled with light; and their faces were not ashamed. (Psalms 34:4-5 MKJV) This is the time to walk in the light. “The people who dwell in darkness saw a great light, and to those who dwell in the land and darkness of death a light rose for them.” From then on Y’shua [Jesus] began to preach and to say, “You must continuously repent for the Kingdom of the Heavens has come near” (Mat 4:16-17 ONMB). The tense used in the Greek language tells us to walk in repentance every day. Repentance is not a one time event; it is a life-style of transformation as we walk humbly with God. For many Christians the word repent is misunderstood and not a popular subject. However, Paul wrote in Hebrews 6:1 that repentance is a foundation principle like faith. John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus by teaching about repentance. Jesus also began his ministry by telling people they must repent because the Kingdom of Heaven was within their reach. At that time they did not realize that Jesus is the King and He is the light. When a person first comes to God they repent by turning their heart to God and away from their old life. The ability to repent comes from the grace of God as a person receives a revelation of God’s goodness, (Romans 2:4, Acts 11:18, 2nd Timothy 2:25).
