in the Mighty Name of Yeshua Hamashiach!
When we enter this process of repentance by acknowledging our need and allowing God to excavate deep into the soul, laying bare the sinful roots, it awakens a sense of fear in many. For many people, human correction triggers feelings of rejection and being exposed in their failures for all to see. They feel as though someone has blown a whistle and pointed to them, saying, “You are the man…,” “You are the woman…” But spiritual correction from a loving God is not rejection. God wants to change us, deliver us, and cleanse us. And it has nothing to do with exposing us before the world. The moment you come to God to ask for forgiveness of whatever is in your past or present, He forgives you, cleanses you, and then chooses never to remember that sin again. He said, “For I will be merciful and gracious toward their sins and I will remember their deeds of unrighteousness no more” (Heb. 8:12, AMP). That is the wonderful thing about our God.
Shalom
