ALL THINGS NEW OR A HEART HARDER THAN STONE
Repentance is necessary to have My salvation and have everything new in your life, but you must maintain the newness by sticking with your repentance. Repentance means to change your mind about your old life, turn 180 degrees and walk away from it. Your new life is then filled with Me, where you brag about Me to all your friends and fill your conversation with giving glory to Me for what I have done.
Some friends will leave you because they are not comfortable with the light in you. If all your old associates are comfortable with My light in you, and they continue to curse Me, you better check your light. It is impossible for light and darkness to coexist. Your light should shine into their hiding places and either draw them out or send them running.
Some believers are repenting too much. They have sinful habits, that they do not change their mind about, yet they say they repented. They have a worldly sorrow that leads to repetition, rather than a Godly sorrow that leads to repentance. If you are continuing to do something, then you have not changed your mind about it. You feel worldly sorrow when the pleasure is over but never really change your mind.
Here is the problem with this scenario; I forgive you over and over, but you slowly become convinced that I do not have a problem with your sin. Soon even worldly sorrow vanishes and in your eyes, there is nothing wrong with it. You make excuse for it and soon encourage others that it's ok. Now you are calling good evil and evil good. You are promoting something I hate. Your heart begins to harden and My conviction has no effect on you.
Without knowing it you are sealing your doom, by continuing to sin while I am blessing you. You have misinterpreted My blessing as a condoning of your sin. Nothing could be further from the truth. My blessing is showing My goodness, which is meant to lead you to repentance. However if you receive My blessing and do not change your mind and direction, you will enter into deception and everything will reverse and you will be seven times worse than you ever were. Given over to a reprobate mind.
Many people learn to bend the rules, but not in My kingdom. Be absolutely sure of these kingdom facts.
Be absolutely sure, your sin will find you out.
Be absolutely sure, if you sow to the wind you will reap a whirlwind.
Be absolutely sure, all that you hide will be revealed for all to see.
Be absolutely sure, I am never mocked.
No human being can ever bend these rules of the kingdom. Millions have tried and millions have failed. Not one ever even came close. If you still have any desire left to repent do it now, for when the desire is gone, you will love your sin too much and darkness will be your home forever. Return to Me, your first love, and sin no more, or a worse thing will come on you.
John 12:35-36 (AMP)
So Jesus said to them, You will have the Light only a little while longer. Walk while you have the Light keep on living by it, so that darkness may not overtake and overcome you. He who walks about in the dark does not know where he goes he is drifting. [36] While you have the Light, believe in the Light have faith in it, hold to it, rely on it, that you may become sons of the Light and be filled with Light. Jesus said these things, and then He went away and hid Himself from them was lost to their view.
1 John 1:6-7 (KJV)
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: [7] But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Romans 8:5-6 (KJV)
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. [6] For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Romans 8:7-8 (AMP)
That is because the mind of the flesh with its carnal thoughts and purposes is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God''s Law; indeed it cannot. [8] So then those who are living the life of the flesh catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him.
Romans 1:20-32 (AMP)
For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks). So men are without excuse altogether without any defense or justification, [21] Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and godless in their thinking with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations and their senseless minds were darkened. [22] Claiming to be wise, they became fools professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves. [23] And by them the glory and majesty and excellence of the immortal God were exchanged for and represented by images, resembling mortal man and birds and beasts and reptiles. [24] Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their own hearts to sexual impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves abandoning them to the degrading power of sin, [25] Because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen (so be it). [26] For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one, [27] And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another--men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was their fitting retribution. [28] And so, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or approve of Him or consider Him worth the knowing, God gave them over to a base and condemned mind to do things not proper or decent but loathsome, [29] Until they were filled (permeated and saturated) with every kind of unrighteousness, iniquity, grasping and covetous greed, and malice. They were full of envy and jealousy, murder, strife, deceit and treachery, ill will and cruel ways. They were secret backbiters and gossipers, [30] Slanderers, hateful to and hating God, full of insolence, arrogance, and boasting; inventors of new forms of evil, disobedient and undutiful to parents. [31] They were without understanding, conscienceless and faithless, heartless and loveless and merciless. [32] Though they are fully aware of God''s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them themselves but approve and applaud others who practice them.
Galatians 6:7-8 (AMP)
Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God. For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap. [8] For he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
Numbers 32:22-23 (AMP)
And the land is subdued before the Lord, then afterward you shall return and be guiltless in this matter before the Lord and before Israel, and this land shall be your possession before the Lord. [23] But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord; and be sure your sin will find you out.
Hosea 8:5-7 (AMP)
Your calf idol, O Samaria, is loathsome and I have spurned it. My wrath burns against them. How long will it be before they attain purity? [6] For this calf too is from Israel; a craftsman made it; therefore it is not God. The calf of Samaria shall be broken to shivers and go up in flames. [7] For they sow the wind and they shall reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads; it shall yield no meal; if it were to yield, strangers and aliens would eat it up.
Luke 8:16-18 (AMP)
No one after he has lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel or puts it under a dining table couch; but he puts it on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. [17] For there is nothing hidden that shall not be disclosed, nor anything secret that shall not be known and come out into the open. [18] Be careful therefore how you listen. For to him who has spiritual knowledge will more be given; and from him who does not have spiritual knowledge, even what he thinks and guesses and supposes that he has will be taken away.
Hebrews 3:7-11 (AMP)
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you will hear His voice, [8] Do not harden your hearts, as happened in the rebellion of Israel and their provocation and embitterment of Me in the day of testing in the wilderness, [9] Where your fathers tried My patience and tested My forbearance and found I stood their test, and they saw My works for forty years. [10] And so I was provoked (displeased and sorely grieved) with that generation, and said, They always err and are led astray in their hearts, and they have not perceived or recognized My ways and become progressively better and more experimentally and intimately acquainted with them. [11] Accordingly, I swore in My wrath and indignation, They shall not enter into My rest.
Hebrews 4:7 (AMP)
Again He sets a definite day, a new Today, and gives another opportunity of securing that rest saying through David after so long a time in the words already quoted, Today, if you would hear His voice and when you hear it, do not harden your hearts.
Proverbs 29:1 (AMP)
HE WHO, being often reproved, hardens his neck shall suddenly be destroyed--and that without remedy.
