God has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but He has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination.

Repentance
August 16, 2013
True repentance includes sorrow for sin and contrition of heart. It breaks the heart with sighs and sobs and groans…

God has always sought a humble people. He can use no other . . . There is always much need of heart preperation, in humility and separation, before God can consistently come. The depth of any revival will be determined exactly by the spirit of repentance that is obtained. In fact, this is key to every true revival born of God.

A man, and a Christian man too, may keep up all the outward appearances of religion; but if he has guilt on his conscience, or allows sin in his soul, he may frequent the Lord’s house but it will be without profit; he may worship but it will be without peace.

365 million+ orphans, while the church is busy building coffee shops. O Lord awaken the church with revival not caffeine.

“Yet lackest thou one thing; Go sell all that thou hast, and give to the poor; he was grieved at that saying, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions!” Poor youth! He had a good mind to be a Christian, and to inherit eternal life, but thought it too dear, if it could be purchased at no less an expense than of his estate! And thus many, both young and old, now-a-days, come running to worship our blessed Lord in public, and kneel before him in private, and inquire at his gospel, what they must do to inherit eternal life: but when they find they must renounce the self-enjoyment of riches, and forsake all in affection to follow him, they cry, “The Lord pardon us in this thing! We pray thee, have us excused” … He will not!”

As long as we leave sin unconfessed, we are actually saying that we don’t believe the Lord is going to come now.

I am not raising future presidents or politicians, but raising children who will lead a nation to repentance, and die for their neighbors.

We have missed the whole office and virtue of praying if it does not rectify our conduct. The very nature of things is that we must either quit praying or quit bad conduct. Cold, dead praying may exist with bad conduct, but cold, dead praying is no praying in God’s eyes. Our praying advances in power as it rectifies our lives. A life growing in its purity and devotion will be a more prayerful life.
