THE PRESENCE OF GOD WILL BRING REPENTANCE

God’s Presence Brings Conviction.

When truth is spoken, God’s Presence emerges. It did under Jonah’s preaching. Jonah came to Nineveh and he screamed out “…in forty days, Nineveh [will] be destroyed,” (see Jonah 3:4).

The Bible says the people went on a fast and God spared the city. “So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that He had said that He would do unto them; and He did it not,” (Jonah 3:5, 10).

Your Focus Decides Your Feelings.

Jonah’s focus was on himself instead of the deliverance of God’s people. His choice to change brought about the chance for repentance for many people. The Holy Spirit woos and draws us toward Him. He is merciful, gentle and kind. He is patient, longsuffering and labors over us as a mother would labor over a child in its tiny crib. His very Presence draws us to a place of repentance.
Respond to His inner conviction and drawing power. “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation,” (2 Corinthians 6:2).

His Presence keeps you tender towards Him. His Presence keeps you thirsty. When you do not pursue His Presence, the danger of becoming calloused and hardened is very real. When you feel troubled in your spirit, thank God for such a troubling. Go to Him in repentance.

He is waiting to restore you.

Never take His Presence lightly. “I will go and return to My place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek My face,” (Hosea 5:15).

Jesus taught that The Holy Spirit was the secret of becoming an Overcomer. The book of Acts reminds us of the power available to us as believers. “But ye

shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you,” (Acts 1:8).

You can overcome any temptation, addiction, grief or chaotic situation through The Holy Spirit.

Repent when you have grieved Him.

Let your dependency be upon Him and make you the Overcomer you desire to be.

Always remember, The Holy Spirit will reveal specific Wisdom you require for living an overcoming life.

Jesus knew the anointing that would enable the disciples to stand against anything. “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth,” (Acts 1:8).
