DON'T GO OVER THE EDGE, APPLY YOUR BREAKS

DON'T GO OVER THE EDGE, APPLY YOUR BREAKS

Repentance is the complete changing of ones mind. It is the reversal of ones thinking, and habits. It is turning 180 degrees and walking in the opposite direction. It is a clear and concise decision to do things differently from the point of revelation impact. 
"I tell you, No; but unless you repent (change your mind for the better and heartily amend your ways, with abhorrence of your past sins), you will all likewise perish and be lost eternally".Luke 13:3 (AMP

When you discover you are headed in the wrong direction to get to your destination, when do you decide to turn around? Is it in a few minutes, hours, or days? You apply your breaks the moment of discovery or at the moment of revelation impact. As soon as the knowledge of error hits you, you reverse everything to get to your destination.
"From that time Jesus began to preach, crying out, Repent (change your mind for the better, heartily amend your ways, with abhorrence of your past sins), for the kingdom of heaven is at hand". Matthew 4:17 (AMP)

You do not decide to repent, you just repent at the true moment of impact. I'm informing you that the edge of the cliff is coming up very fast and you are not applying breaks. You have been impacted with the truth, that you have been thinking or believing wrong, yet you are slow to apply the breaks. Reversal of habit is difficult and uncomfortable, but going over the cliff is fatal. 
"Yet wisdom is vindicated (shown to be true and divine) by all her children by their life, character, and deeds".Luke 7:35 (AMP)

Your time is running out, if you do not apply the breaks and make a u-turn immediately a fatality will occur. Once you know the truth it becomes you responsibility to repent. Thinking about it, is not repentance. Doing it is. The truth will only impact you for a short time before rational takes over and you remove your foot from the break and continue toward the cliff. 
"Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a city and spend a year there and carry on our business and make money. Yet you do not know the least thing about what may happen tomorrow. What is the nature of your life? You are really but a wisp of vapor (a puff of smoke, a mist) that is visible for a little while and then disappears into thin air." James 4:13-14 (AMP)

When you see the red light, thinking about stopping, will kill you. Talking about stopping will kill you. Praying about stopping will kill you, even though it sounds so spiritual. Determining with all your might sounds nobel but will still kill you. Nothing except stopping will save your life. You say, "change takes time, but I say, the trip to the bottom of the cliff takes seconds." Apply your breaks now!!! Repent and make a u-turn.


Matthew 11:16-25 (AMP)
But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like little children sitting in the marketplaces who call to their playmates, [17] We piped to you playing wedding, and you did not dance; we wailed dirges playing funeral, and you did not mourn and beat your breasts and weep aloud. [18] For John came neither eating nor drinking with others, and they say, He has a demon! [19] The Son of Man came eating and drinking with others, and they say, Behold, a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of tax collectors and especially wicked sinners! Yet wisdom is justified and vindicated by what she does (her deeds) and by her children. [20] Then He began to censure and reproach the cities in which most of His mighty works had been performed, because they did not repent and their hearts were not changed. [21] Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes and their hearts would have been changed. [22] I tell you further, it shall be more endurable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. [23] And you, Capernaum, are you to be lifted up to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades the region of the dead! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have continued until today. [24] But I tell you, it shall be more endurable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you. [25] At that time Jesus began to say, I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth and I acknowledge openly and joyfully to Your honor, that You have hidden these things from the wise and clever and learned, and revealed them to babies to the childish, untaught, and unskilled.
