TRUE REPENTANCE AND REPENTING ON BEHALF OF OUR NATIONS


TRUE REPENTANCE AND REPENTING ON BEHALF OF OUR NATIONS




Repentance is not a ritual of the church nor is it an emotion. Repentance means to completely turn around, to change our minds, to decide to turn away from all unrighteousness and sin. It is a decision of the will that is registered in the mind. It is a choice to submit ourselves to what God requires us to do. When we have repented and are walking closely with the Lord, we then have the right to repent on behalf of our suburb, city, state and nation. When the Lord speaks of repentance, He speaks to nations as much as He speaks to individual people.

Love and hate are both normal emotions created within us. The Lord also loves and hates. Is hate always bad? Is love always good? It depends on whom or what we are loving or hating. Examples of good righteous love is to love the Lord, to love serving Him, to love the Word of God, to love our family both natural and spiritual. Examples of unrighteous love are the love of money or the love and enjoyment of sin. There are two uses for the one word ‘hate’. One ‘hate’ is a very strong word meaning a deep sense of loathing, detestation or abhorrence; something so wicked it must be absolutely rejected. The other use of ‘hate’, means to ‘love less than’.

SAME SEX MARRIAGE WILL BRING GOD'S JUDGEMENT

Image
New topical topic To the foolish politicians who vote for same sex marriage, we Christians must stand up and declare: In the Name of Jesus our Saviour, stop your stupid nonsense. Do you not realise that by passing the law to allow same sex couples to marry, you are bringing God’s wrath and judgement upon your country – upon the people your swore to represent? Do not pass that bill; do not allow same sex couples to marry; do not accept that same sex marriage is okay – because it is not. It is the legal sanctioning of an abomination to God, and that was the turning point in God’s decision to destroy the earth with a flood. If that does not impress you, then perhaps the knowledge that next time God sends His judgement to earth, He will burn the whole earth with fire (Isaiah 66:14 to16; 2 Peter 3:7, 10 & 12).

EGYPT'S TEN PLAGUES

EGYPT'S TEN PLAGUES The Pharaoh in the time of Moses was a hard, stubborn and ruthless man. His heart was very hard and the  Lord hardened his heart even more so.  He would not initially allow the Hebrews to leave Egypt but after ten  horrific plagues, the Pharaoh forced the Hebrews to flee and they took tons of gold, silver, precious stones, flocks, herds and clothing as payment for many years of unpaid slavery.  They were not slaves when they first  went into Egypt, but after Joseph died and a new Pharaoh arose, the Hebrews were then forced to be  slaves.  In spite of their slavery the Hebrews had so many children, at one point in time the Hebrews outnumbered the Egyptians. The ten plagues were divine judgement on a very idolatrous nation. See more at: www.bibleabookoftruth.com
