repentence and the goodness of God

The Church meeting on Thursday was very good, after we have open our hearts, shared some thoughts , God brought conviction that we needed to repent, so we did. I do believe in God’s forgiveness, I know He is a perfect loving kind GOD. I am convinced that we should not stop there in Joel 2 :12-13 the Lord said “Return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping and mourning and rend your heart not your garment” That’s why I believe we should not stop there, fasting, weeping, and mourning; is external signs of inward changes, showing that we really mean business with the lord, that’s why He said rend your heart not your garment, because without the heart, would mean nothing. Like Pastor Michael said we need repentance for deleing in obeying God, I must say I am guilty on that one. I don’t want to spend anymore time without receiving my blessing, God spoke to me long time ago in Hosea and Jeremiah, here is the verses:
Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
Jeremiah 4:3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
Fasting, weeping, and morning are great tools to break the ground of our hearts, to remove the weeds that more than usual conquer us, remove the thorns that suffocates the seeds of the word of God that we receive after reading our bible and listening to the word on Sunday morning. And we wonder why we have been walking frustrated and feel defeated, NOW we know! Bingo! Its time to seek the Lord TILL HE COMES AND RAIN RIGHTEOUSNESS UPON US. Christ is the rain that will bring our harvest, like Joel said in Joel 2:23. Please read Joel 2 the whole chapter, we must have faith and press on, if we can see in the sky a cloud even like little hand,its can became a abundant rain .. God has been talking to me about the day of Pentecost, Pentecost was a Jewish thanksgiving feast to celebrate the first fruits of the wheat harvest it talks about a celebration of a hard work and preparation and the fruit of it. I firmly believe when the ground of ours hearts and renewing of our minds through repentance, fasting, weeping, and prayer and replacing the weeds and thorns for the word of God and the things of God. Pentecost will also come to for us like in acts 2
Act 2:1 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.
Act 2:2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire HOUSE where they were sitting.


We all know what happen after that…..



That can be our JOURNE for ALL NATIONS too!

Love everyone!
