21 POINTS OF REPENTANCE, PART 2 Dr. Vanessa Dantzler Ussery | January 20, 2016 Continuing the journey, we’re delving into the last points of repentance. As a reminder, a simple, “I’m Sorry” does not suffice because there is actually process to full repentance. In the previous writing (available at www.CelebrateChange.org), we covered points 1‐10. In this writing, we will look at points 11‐21. 1. Accept cleansing results – made whiter than snow. 2. Accept and don’t resist the crushing feeling you experience during this truth session that will make you feel God is distant as you see were un‐done. Be glad and rejoice you can feel you are wrong so you can repent and change. 3. Tell God you accept His surgical process of removing the sin from your heart (your desire for it) to now have a clean heart again. 4. Embrace a steadfast (faithful/consistent) heart that’s re‐established with God to please Him by obedience to His word. 5. The prior sense that He pulled away should remind you that you never want to lose His presence and you are grateful for the hunger of His presence and the refreshing of the Holy Spirit. 6. This will lead to a renewed joy and spiritual ecstasy. 7. You’re so determined to release sin and focus on your return to God you are ready and desiring to help someone else get where you now are. 8. God receives your godly sorrow that has led you to true repentance. 9. You had a broken spirit (you are not controlling you but you want Him to control your passion, desire and all of your heart). 10. You had a contrite heart (you were truly and properly sorry for offending God and felt the pain of that offense to him not on the surface but deep within your essence. You really wanted to change in word and deed) 11. Now you are free to give your burnt offering and sacrifices to God because you can do so with a clean heart and clean hands thus bringing total worship and praise to your Holy God (worship in spirit and in truth). May your relationship grow stronger and closer with God as you complete all 21 Points of Repentance.
