Repentance is a way of Life!

Repentance is engaging with the Mind of Christ; it’s embracing His thoughts, His values, His perception, and learning how to walk in that frame of mind.  It is that frame of mind that positions me to obey with great victory and great impact.

Our lives are no more transformed than is our mind renewed.

The measuring rod of personal transformation is the transformation of the mind.

Many churches have relegated their Sunday morning message to a 30-minute message designed to deliver only the milk of The Word… the pastors have become milkmen. 

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 5:

12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the Word of righteousness, for he is a babe.

14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

What was Jesus’ mindset in teaching The Word?

Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 15:

32 Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, “I care deeply about all these people, for they’ve already been with Me for three days without food. I don’t want to send them away fasting or else they may be overcome by weakness on their journey home.”

That is what I call a camp meeting!

Repentance introduces you to the Mind of Christ.  Repentance places you in the flow of His thinking, His perceptions.  His value system is completely different than ours.  This is why we must focus on being transformed to His way of thinking by the renewing of our minds by both reading The Word and hearing FATHER speak so that we can see from His perspective. 

Every miracle introduces us to the reality of an unseen world.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:

1 Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.

And Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 4:

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are Eternal.

Until the unseen world is more real than the temporary, seen world in your mindset, you will limit your spiritual maturity.  We need to be more spiritually mature than a donkey.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Numbers chapter 22:

22 Then God’s anger was aroused because he went, and the Angel of the LORD took His stand in the way as an adversary against him. And he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.

23 Now the donkey saw the Angel of the LORD standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand, and the donkey turned aside out of the way and went into the field. So Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back onto the road.

25 And when the donkey saw the Angel of the LORD, she pushed herself against the wall and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall; so he struck her again.

27 And when the donkey saw the Angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam’s anger was aroused, and he struck the donkey with his staff.

When is the last time you had a conversation with an Ass (KJV)?

28 Then the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”

29 And Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you have abused me. I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would kill you!”

30 So the donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden, ever since I became yours, to this day? Was I ever disposed to do this to you?” And he said, “No.”

31 Then the LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the Angel of the LORD standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand; and he bowed his head and fell flat on his face.

34 And Balaam said to the Angel of the LORD, “I have sinned, for I did not know You stood in the way against me. Now therefore, if it displeases You, I will turn back.”

35 Then the Angel of the LORD said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but only the Word that I speak to you, that you shall speak.” So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

There is a lesson to be learned!

Jesus came to show us our potential and capacity to live Life more abundantly, the zōē Life!

Jesus came to display life on another, higher level; He came to display zōē Life.  He came to bring Heaven to earth.

As I wrote yesterday, He confirmed this Truth as He spoke in John chapter 10:

10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have Life (zōē), and that they may have it more abundantly.

In other Words, Jesus came to give us everything in abundance, more than we expect—Life (zōē) in its fullness until we overflow!

What is zōē Life? It is the absolute fulness of life, both essential and ethical, which belongs to God; it is the GOD-kind of Life, Life as GOD has it.  This life in us is on a higher level and a higher dimension than what the world walks in.

We must keep zōē Life in our consciousness at all times.  Jesus prophesied that this zōē Life was to be available to all who accepted Him as their Lord and Savior. 

Jesus spoke in John chapter 7:

38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of Living Water.”

39 Jesus was prophesying about the Holy Spirit that believers were being prepared to receive. But the Holy Spirit had not yet been poured out upon them, because Jesus had not yet been unveiled in his full splendor (glorified).

You and I are intended to walk in a higher dimension of Life on a daily basis.  Don’t accept anything less.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by Whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

We have been marked with a Seal, and the demons are fully aware of It.  They want to keep us focused on walking in the lower dimension, at the worldly level.  They know that as we ascend and take our place seated with Christ, we will walk in power and authority in the Name of Jesus.  Then, they will be cast out to dry places.

Christ’s resurrection changed your condition, your identity.  It shifted you into another dimension that had been unattainable before. 

Paul expressed this Truth as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 5:

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

You now have a Spiritual identity different from before.  Jesus explained this Truth to Nicodemus as He spoke in John chapter 3:

1 Now there was a prominent religious leader among the Jews named Nicodemus, who was part of the sect called the Pharisees.

2 One night he discreetly came to Jesus and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one performs the miracle signs that You do, unless God’s power is with Him.”

3 Jesus answered, “Nicodemus, listen to this Eternal Truth: Before a person can even perceive God’s Kingdom, they must first experience a rebirth.”

This rebirth is just the beginning.

4 Nicodemus said, “Rebirth? How can a gray-headed man be reborn? It’s impossible for anyone to go back into the womb a second time and be reborn!”

5 Jesus answered, “I speak an Eternal Truth: Unless you are born of water and the Spirit, you will never enter God’s Kingdom.

6 For the natural realm only gives birth to things that are natural, but the Spiritual realm gives birth to Supernatural zōē Life!

7 “You shouldn’t be amazed by my statement, ‘You all must be born from above!’ 8 For the Spirit-Wind blows as it chooses. You can hear its sound, but you don’t know where it came from or where it’s going. So it is the same with those who are Spirit-born!”

You and I have been given the opportunity to walk in His power and authority; He has given us the potential and capacity! However, each of us chooses what dimension we will walk in.  Your Spiritual maturity is the deciding factor.

When a curse is decreed, we are to reverse and renounce the curse with a blessing!

As believers, we are to decree blessings as THE LORD directs.

The following are references:

Esther 3:13 NKJV

And the letters were sent by couriers into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and to plunder their possessions.

Isaiah 45:2-3 NKJV

‘I will go before you And make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze And cut the bars of iron. [3] I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.

Genesis 12:3 NKJV

I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Proverbs 18:21 NKJV

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Isaiah 55:11 NKJV

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

The Key of David shifts are mindset from weakness to victory.

Isaiah 54:17 NKJV

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.

Revelation 3:7 NKJV
“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”:

The following is the Truman Prayer:

Amen!

Jesus’ resurrection not only changed our condition, but it also changed our position!

We are not sinners saved by grace; we went from a sinner to a son.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

10 We pray that you would walk in the ways of true righteousness, pleasing God in every good thing you do. Then you’ll become fruit-bearing branches, yielding to His Life, and maturing in the rich experience of knowing God in His fullness!

11 And we pray that you would be energized with all His explosive power from the realm of His magnificent glory, filling you with great hope.

12 Your hearts can soar with joyful gratitude when you think of how God made you worthy to receive the glorious inheritance freely given to us by living in the light.

13 He has rescued us completely from the tyrannical rule of darkness and has translated us into the Kingdom realm of His Beloved Son.

Paul prayed for us to receive the manifestation of His explosive power.  He knew we now had the potential to walk in this manner.  As well, he knew that we had become worthy to walk in the light aka revelation of Jesus’ glorious Kingdom realm.  We are expected to mature and become fruit-bearing branches.

And in Ephesians chapter 1:

18 I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of His calling—that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that He finds in us, His Holy ones!

Paul is speaking to us as believers, revealing to us a greater walk available to those who seek the full revelation of the hope of His calling.

19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power

20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His Right Hand in the Heavenly places,

21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

We are only limited by our expectations!

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:

4 But God still Loved us with such great Love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy.

5 Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, He united us into the very Life of Christ and saved us by His wonderful grace!

6 He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with Him into the glorious perfection and authority of the Heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ!

It is vital for us to accept and embrace this revelation!  We have been given the perfection and authority to be there.  HE seated us in a position of power.

7 Throughout the coming ages we will be the visible display of the infinite riches of His grace and kindness, which was showered upon us in Jesus Christ.

How can we be the visible display if we don’t mature into fruit-bearing branches?  A promise of GOD is meant to prophesy our future IN HIM.  It is meant to give us hope and expectation of manifestation of such promises.  We have the choice to ascend with Him into Heavenly places, in the glorious perfection and authority of the Heavenly realm.  As we are led by The Holy Spirit daily, we will ascend!  We will be given unlimited access to His riches in all areas of our life.

John 7:37-39 NKJV
On the last day, that great day of the feast (of Tabernacles), Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. [38] He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” [39] But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

A decree from Psalm 27:

Yes and Amen!

As we become more conscious of HIM, we become more conscious of Eternity!

King David recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 37:

16 A little that a righteous man has Is better than the riches of many wicked.

17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, But the LORD upholds the righteous.

18 The LORD knows the days of the upright, And their inheritance shall be forever.

19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

20 But the wicked shall perish; And the enemies of the LORD, Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish. Into smoke they shall vanish away.

21 The wicked borrows and does not repay, But the righteous shows mercy and gives.

22 For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth, But those cursed by Him shall be cut off.

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.

Let us focus our hope on Eternal riches from Heaven and not allow ourselves to be envious of the wicked who have the temporary wealth of the world.  It is vital to our consciousness to keep The Word before us daily, to pray daily, and to do good works daily.

The Beloved Disciple recorded what he heard and saw in the future by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 7:

9 After this I looked, and behold, right in front of me I saw a vast multitude of people—an enormous multitude so huge that no one could count—made up of victorious ones from every nation, tribe, people group, and language. They were all in glistening white robes, standing before the Throne and before the Lamb with palm branches in their hands.

10 And they shouted out with a passionate voice: “Salvation belongs to our God seated on the Throne and to the Lamb!”

11 All the angels were standing in a circle around the Throne with the elders and the four living creatures, and they all fell on their faces before the Throne and worshiped God,

12 singing: “Amen! Praise and glory, Wisdom and thanksgiving, honor, power, and might belong to our God forever and ever! Amen!”

John gave us a glimpse of Eternity where our future lies.

It is our choice of what and Who we focus on.  What THE LORD says should be a Treasure to your soul.

When the birth of Jesus occurred, there appeared angels announcing His birth and the shepherds testified of what the heard and saw.

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 2:

17 Upon seeing this miraculous sign, the shepherds recounted what had just happened.

18 Everyone who heard the shepherds’ story was astonished by what they were told.

19 But Mary treasured all these things in her heart and often pondered what they meant.

We are to treasure and ponder The Word in our hearts as Mary did.  What do you do with a treasure?  You place it in a safe place and keep it from being stolen by the thief.

What GOD has spoken to you needs to be marked in your soul because it’s your history with HIM.  There are things HE has told you that are not to be broadcasted to others.  In many cases, they will not understand and they may affect its manifestation.

Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Genesis chapter 37:

5 One night Joseph had a dream, and when he shared it with his brothers, they hated him even more!

Joseph learned the hard way about sharing what THE LORD was revealing to him.  He got to ponder his dreams while in a pit and in prison.  We must watch over our words.

What FATHER shares with each of us is meant to give us hope, but we must learn when to speak, when to act, and when to wait on THE LORD to bring forth blessings on our behalf.  When we do, we reinforce our hope in Eternity.

Rosh Hashanah 5786 begins at sundown on the eve of Tishrei 1 (Sept. 22, 2025) and ends after nightfall on Tishrei 2 (Sept. 24, 2025).

Leviticus 23:23-25 NKJV
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, [24] “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. [25] You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.'”

The trumpet marks the closing of the age. It is the sound of war. Get ready!

Matthew 24:4-7 NKJV
And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. [5] For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. [6] And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [7] For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

You and I are here for a Divine assignment, not simply to occupy space!

We are here to bring the reality of GOD’S Presence, of HIS Mind, of HIS Will into culture itself.  We are to establish an environment that promotes this reality.  GOD is looking for a city that will belong entirely to HIM.

Hezekiah or Hizkiah or Hizkijah = “Jehovah is my strength”

It is written by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Kings chapter 18:

1 Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign.

2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.

3 And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father David had done.

4 He removed the high places and broke the sacred pillars, cut down the wooden image and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it, and called it Nehushtan (a thing of brass).

The children were worshipping the tool, the serpent, rather than the ONE Who healed them. This brazen serpent became the center of idol worship.  They were worshipping the “routines” derived from the original revelation in the wilderness.

All miracles and signs point to a Person and the moment I lose sight of the Person, I’ll worship the sign.

5 He trusted in the LORD God of Israel, so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor who were before him.

6 For he held fast to the LORD; he did not depart from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the LORD had commanded Moses.

7 The LORD was with him; he prospered wherever he went. And he rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him.

The blessing of THE LORD creates a momentum in our life.  We must be diligent to not serve the momentum, but instead we are to serve the Source: Our Heavenly Father.

Jesus emphasized this when He spoke in Matthew chapter 6:

33 But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these (less important) things shall be added to you (in abundance).

We are not to serve “the things”!

During those fifteen years, what happened?

It is written by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Chronicles chapter 32:

27 Hezekiah had very great riches and honor. And he made himself treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of desirable items;

28 storehouses for the harvest of grain, wine, and oil; and stalls for all kinds of livestock, and folds for flocks.

29 Moreover he provided cities for himself, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him very much property.

30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the water outlet of Upper Gihon, and brought the water by tunnel to the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

As a result, Hezekiah’s heart was lifted up and pride entered in.

31 However, regarding the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, whom they sent to him to inquire about the wonder that was done in the land, God withdrew from him, in order to test him, that He might know all that was in his heart.

When he was sick unto death, he cried out to THE LORD, but when things were going exceedingly well, he forgot WHO delivered him and pride entered in.  Let us not forget WHO is our Provider in the good times of prosperity!

What was the sign of Hezekiah’s pride?

In 2 Kings chapter 20:

12 At that time Berodach-Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

13 And Hezekiah was attentive to them, and showed them all the house of his treasures-the silver and gold, the spices and precious ointment, and all his armory-all that was found among his treasures. There was nothing in his house or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.

14 Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah, and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where did they come to you?” So Hezekiah said, “They came from a far country, from Babylon.”

15 And he said, “What have they seen in your house?” So Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.”

Only an insecure leader needing to impress, would show off his treasures.  Hezekiah was trying to attract favor on a natural level rather than by the Divine relationship with THE LORD.  Once again, let us not forget WHO is our Provider in the good times of prosperity!

The Holy Spirit is The Promise, The Power, and The Proof!

Without the power of The Holy Spirit, our credibility is in question.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 1:

1 The former account I made, O Theophilus (friend of GOD), of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

2 until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen,

3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.

4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me;

In this context, “to wait” means to dwell and meditate on the revelations of the Kingdom of GOD just taught to them by Jesus.  The disciples needed this Promise to be effective witnesses of the Kingdom of GOD coming to the earth.

5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”

7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.

8 But you shall receive miraculous power (G1411) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, the promise of The Holy Spirit has been given to us by Jesus Himself.  What evidence were the disciples to expect?  The power of The Holy Spirit was to come upon them.  What was and is the purpose of such power?  To be a true witness of Jesus Christ to the world with signs and wonders following.

To be a genuine witness of The Gospel, people want proof!

The word power (G1411) means:

1. strength power, ability

1. inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth
   1. power for performing miracles
   1. moral power and excellence of soul
   1. the power and influence which belong to riches and wealth
   1. power and resources arising from numbers
   1. power consisting in or resting upon armies, forces, hosts

This power validates a true witness.

There is an old saying, “Talk is cheap, it takes money to ride the train.”  A witness has to produce evidence, not just hearsay.  When we receive The Holy Spirit, we have received His power as well, whether we walk in it or not.

In chapter 2:

1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

Have you personally seen 120 people in one place and in one accord?  That was impressive within itself.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

This initial evidence confounded the crowd.  As a result of what the people saw and heard:

40 And with many other words Peter testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.”

41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.

42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

43 Then Fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common,

45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.

The Holy Spirit provided proof as the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders.  With such proof, new believers were added to the ekklesia daily.
