[ Extracted from vic bulletin ]

Note in this verse the sense that His message of repentance was a continuing one. "From that time, Jesus began to preach and to say, " Repent.  . ."

Repentance was a constant refrain of what He called men to do.
"Repent" or change your mind.

Change your mind about :
How you look yourself
How you look at God
How you look at others.

You can change your mind because the kingdom or the kingship of God has broken through.

You are no longer bond by the lies of the devil or the world or your own thinking.
You are set free now to know who God is and what He is doing in your life.

God has given a Christ like in me when I accepted Jesus in my life.
When I'm baptised God also given me another new nature.
He implanted a clean, pure and righteousness heart.

Jesus and the Holy Spirit dwelling in my heart. The Christ like heart.
It's the heart that control my mind.
I can change my mind because there is Jesus in me, in my heart.
Change my mind to be like Him, my saviour.

God has given a new nature to repent.
I change my mind because my heart desire to be with God.
Thus, I will walk the path that God wants me to go and walk away from sin.
To repent is the constant calling from God, asking me to always to repent.

I always have to say YES to Him and NO to my wrong desire.

I have to constantly tell myself that
1) I am child of God, son of God.
This way when I look at myself,
I know that I am precious and unique to God's eye.

2) When I look at God,
He is my Heavenly Father, provider, saviour, comforter, peace, love . . .
That He will always be there for me.
And lean on Him always.

3) When I look at others,
That they are my brothers and sisters in Christ.
That I need to pray for those unbelievers for salvation.
Not to judge others, but love and care for them.

Christ has set me free, I no longer bound to the lies of the devil.
In Christ alone, I am free.

I am affirm that God is always doing something awesome in my life.
I really have to thank Him for what He had done.

P :

Thank You for the new heart that you gave me.
Thank You for what You have done in my life.

Lord, help me to change my mind to be like You. A Christ like thinking.
Holy Spirit come and dwell in my heart always, make it clean, pure, soft and tender.
Thank You Father.
In the name of Jesus,
AMEN!
