21 POINTS OF REPENTANCE, PART 1 Dr. Vanessa Dantzler Ussery | January 13, 2016 Although many feel that a simple, “I’m Sorry” will suffice, there is actually process to full repentance. This week, we’ll cover points 1‐10. Next week, I’ll share 11‐21. When walking through all 21 Points of Repentance, you’ll find that your journey with God will have much more depth and meaning. 1. Petition mercy from God. 2. Petition removal of sins. 3. Petition cleansing from sins. 4. Admit you are wrong. 5. Face your sin by stating it (confess). 6. Realize you sinned against God first and others second. 7. Abhor yourself as you realize not only did you sin in that case, but you were born in sin and formed in its context and environment both genetically and externally. 8. Acknowledge God desires truth from the inside out. Restate what is going on in the inside that led you to sin in the first place. Tell the truth about yourself even though it hurts. 9. Realize He will reveal to you what’s on the inside, so you are aware it’s there and to what depth. 10. After revelation of the truth, again desire to be cleansed and changed within. Whether filled with the precious gift of the Holy Spirit or you are on the path to salvation, these steps are a necessary part of your walk in Christ for sin is in the flesh and can be a regular challenge. So, consider spending this week focusing on these 10 steps and you’ll begin to see the difference.
