Turn.. 180° -Repent

Being penitent, or having repentance means to turn away from one thing and, subsequently, toward another. Envision your sin on one end of the road of your life, and the Lord at the other end.

Notice that on this road, if you are walking towards your sin, you are walking away from God... According to Genesis 4:7, "sin is crouching at your door, it desires to have you."  Doesn't that word "crouching" bring to mind the image of predation? Perhaps you envision a lioness on the savannah hiding in the tall grasses waiting for a careless wildebeest to wander too far away from the herd. Well, guess what? You are the carelessly, wandering wildebeest. The best thing that you can do is - stop heading towards sin, turn around 180°, and rejoin the herd (Body of Christ).

As with the lion and wildebeest, sin ends with death (Romans 6:23). The sin binds you. Constricting every part of your life, it chokes the liberty out of you, then it kills you. Make no mistake about it; you die!

The wages of sin is death, but Jesus gives life everlasting. That’s forever! Go on and turn towards HIM, away from those things that are keeping you from all that He is for you, has for you, and wants for you!

I love you, and I am praying for you!

Sis Pinky’s Prayer: Heavenly Father,

Thank you for Jesus! Thank you for the precious blood that saved us from eternal damnation. Now Father we pray that You would endow us with the power to resist the devil, turn from our wicked nature, and master those things that are trying to entangle us in bondage again!

Please God reveal to us not only the sins that we are cognizant of, but those hidden things that hinder us from having a fuller, deeper relationship with you.

We love you, and we praise you.

In Jesus' name we pray,

Amen.
