The Healing Power In Repenting

Repent. A single word that can conjure up all manner of emotions. 

Aversion

Annoyance 

Anger

Bitterness 

Oppression

Control

Judgment

And

Freedom!  

Yes, FREEDOM because repenting in its original and healthy God aligned context is a powerful healing tool to align you back into the laws of love and right relationship and friendship with the Creator. 

Repenting is a powerful healing tool designed to give permission for God to come into your life to heal you and set you free from the things that are not healthy, loving and aligned with the laws of love. 

Unfortunately, the word repent and the process of repenting has been grossly misunderstood, has become toxic, polluted, twisted and used to fear monger people instead of the powerful healing tool it is. 

The word repent used to trigger me big time.

I associated repenting with narcissistic churches and controlling priests that threatened people with eternal hell fire and damnation if they didn’t repent or it involved sitting in a church whipping your back in repentance. 

Thankfully, Jesus removed the scales from my eyes and showed me how repenting in its original and healthy form is designed to free people from the things that keep them tied and in bondage to darkness. 

When you repent you’re saying you are done with a certain way of living, being, acting, doing life and allowing God to free you from those ways of living and to heal and restore you back into love, joy, peace and right living.

I found when Jesus led me to repent for certain things in my life, initially my ego was resistant and annoyed at the idea but as I repented for the ways in which I’d been living, speaking, behaving and the New Age/Witchcraft practices I’d been devilling up in, I found the incredible healing power of God started to deliver me from these things and I came to experience a sense of freedom, love, joy and peace not based on anything or anyone external.

Repenting is not a process of putting yourself down, shaming yourself or living in constant guilt, shame and unworthiness it’s a process of humbling yourself and your heart to God, recognising there’s been ways you’ve been living and behaving that are not aligned with love, handing over the things that no longer serve and support you and allowing God to heal you and deliver you from the things that are ultimately not of the Highest Love of God. 

Repenting is a simple process of saying to God - 

God, I now repent for ____________________. 

Please forgive me, and set me free to live a life abiding in your love, peace, grace and joy for me. In Jesus’s Name, Amen 

If I now find myself judging someone in my head, speaking unkindly towards myself and others, doing things that are hurtful or harmful I will now say - 

God, I repent for judging this person. Please forgive me. Help me to love and forgive them as you love and forgive them. 

Or

God, I repent for thinking and speaking unkindly towards myself. Please forgive me. Help me to love, bless and accept myself as you love, bless and accept me. 

God gave you free will and will not override your free will choices but when you repent you are giving permission for the great I AM, the Alpha and Omega of all creation to move into your life and to set you free and to help you become a more loving, kind, peaceful and compassionate person.

Repenting is a powerful healing tool and it will break your ego, humble your heart and make you realise how things you thought were ok were in fact not ok, not healthy or wholesome for you or others. 

Ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate and show you the things you’re being called to repent for so God can heal you and set you free from that way of living and align you with His love for you and all of creation. 

God wants you to come into repentance so you can be loved, healed and set free from the things that cause you to live a life of less than.

I now even repent for having thoughts and beliefs of lack and scarcity because I’ve come to realise God is of abundance, unlimited provision and prosperity who loves to bless all of creation.

Repentance is a healing tool designed to lead you to the heart and love of God, not to shame, control, bully, demonise or oppress you. It’s designed to set you free. 

Trust and have faith all is well.

I love you.
