Repentance

"Repentance: a change from pleasing self, to pleasing God!" Paris Reidhead 'Incomplete Repentance'

“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”  Luke‬ ‭13:3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Our desire to please Him is THE CHANGE! We naturally want to please ourself because we are in this world! The change that true repentance brings is obedience to His Word, which says 

“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” Matthew‬ ‭22:37‬ ‭KJV‬‬

THAT which you love is what you live for, care for, look out for, sacrifice for, die for! 

It's either you or Him! There can be only One! 

“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew‬ ‭6:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”  ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:4-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We want to go this way, He says go that way!

Every way that we find that we are in conflicts with His Way, His way prevails. 

"We must have a attitude of  receiving constant correction from the Lord." Paris Reidhead

Our attitude must be today (and everyday) I want to please God!

My prayer: Father, forgive me for all of the days I fail to listen to your still small voice. Forgive me for allowing my wants and desires to come before Yours! I do want to please You in all my ways, for You are my heart's desire! I repent for walking in the flesh and not in Your Spirit! Thank You LORD for Your mercy and grace!

EVEN SO - MARANATHA!
