4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? Romans 2:4 NKJV

I noticed growing up how my desire to please my parents grew as I realized their love for me. I realized that when I behaved in a manner that pleased my earthly father, that there wasn’t anything that he wouldn’t do for me if it were in his power. I would conduct my actions in a manner I knew pleased the authority over me. My dad’s love for me made me want to please and obey him. Let me give an example. As a teenager, I knew that if I only drove dad’s car where I had permission (obedience to his will for me), that when I asked to take his car farther to a new place, he would allow me to do so because I had favor through obedience. I had earned his trust.

As you walk with God you will find favor in obedience, and blessings in repentance. It can be hard to confess a fault in repentance, but after doing so, you will see new growth in your life. Getting rid of all the junk in the way of your walk with your Father God will open up new spiritual freedom.

The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 ESV

Let me pray with you. “Father, help us remove all blockage in our lives so that we maybe the child that finds favor in your sight. Show us any areas we need to repent over. Make us usable vessels for your glory. Remove all unrighteousness from our heart. Let Your will be our will. In Jesus name, amen.”

If I can be of help, if you need more prayer or deliverance, please feel free to message me here.

May you walk before Him with a whole heart,

Pastor Belinda
