Repent
The beginning of the gospel of the Kingdom of God .....
What a depth to behold. What is the beginning of the gospel of the Kingdom of God. Ohhhhhhhhh yes I heard it and taught it that the beginning of the gospel of the Kingdom of God is to repent from sins. Yet, Odd as it is that is NOT taught in the bible.
However, the beginning of the gospel of the Kingdom of God as preached by John the Baptist was "...Repent ye! for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Mat. 3:1-2). Yes! Do we see that we are called to repent "for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Ohhhhhhhh so if that is the gospel how does one repent from sins?
Of course MYSTERY BABYLON, the many to all religious churches teach, preach and proclaim that one must repent from sins to enter the Kingdom. Well I like to say if that is truth the Kingdom of God will sure be empty for I know not one that has NOT sinned since they repented of their sins!
So what is the MESSAGE of the Kingdom of God?
“Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news of the kingdom of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the good news” (Mk. 1:14-15).
Repent from NOT believing to believing that the Kingdom of God IS FULFILLED and IS AT HAND!
Ohhhhhhhh do we see to repent means to CHANGE ONE'S MIND!!!!! YES
Jesus presented the KINGDOM .... not forgiveness, not reconciliation, not salvation, not cleansing, not eternal life — as the object of repentance.
We NEED TO repent because there is a heavenly Kingdom that requires our repentance.
The Kingdom is coming and repentance is the first priority in order to become a partaker in it. Come on now if this IS NOT TRUTH then I am here to be corrected! If it IS TRUTH you need to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand!!!!!!!
Sitting in lying churches listening to doctrine of devils only keeps on OUT OF THE KINGDOM!
HOW
The KEY to the kingdom is not in their hand nor in their mouth! For the word of the Kingdom comes to us saying, “You must repent!”
Now I have by the carnal mind looked at the word 'repent' and have taught it as churches do. Yes! A altar call where many knee or stand and weep for their sins thinking this is the way into the Kingdom because the preacher said so. God have mercy on our ignorance and open the eyes of our understanding ..... AMEN
Webster’s dictionary defines repent as “to feel sorrow, remorse, or regret for one’s past errors, sin, omission, action or conduct; to experience such contrition as to amend one’s way of life; to remember with compunction or self-reproach; to feel remorse on account of.” Do you know that is the English meaning for the English word repent Do we also know the bible was in Hebrew and Greek before English and being translated into English the bible lost some of its meaning of words because of our English.
The English word “hell” once meant “a dark hidden place,” but church dogma has through the years caused it to take on an altogether different connotation. There is so much fire in the modern hell that there could be absolutely no darkness there!
Before we press on to understand what repentance is, let me tell you what it is not. It is not a certain amount of felt and experienced broken heartedness caused by deep conviction evoked in the heart over the great failings or wickedness of one’s past life.
Also! nowhere in ALL the New Testament did the Lord Jesus, Peter, James, Paul or anyone else call people to an altar and tell them to weep and cry their way through to either salvation or the Kingdom. Such a concept is unscriptural, totally foreign to the Word of God, and is in fact an “extra-biblical” concept. Only taught by MYSTERY BABYLON for she sits as a queen because she is robbed in her OWN SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS! and not the RIGHTEOUSNESS GIVEN BY CHRIST!
“For godly sorrow worketh repentance” 2 Cor. 7:10
Can we not see by these words that godly sorrow IS NOT REPENTANCE. Godly sorrow works repentance, it leads one to repentance, but godly sorrow is not repentance. The notion that sorrow for sin is repentance is another of the foolish lies of Babylon.
The Greek word METANOIA and our English word REPENTANCE do not bear the same meaning at all. See METANOIA, the Greek word translated in the King James Version of the Bible as “repentance,” in its plainest and most literal meaning signifies A CHANGE OF MIND or TO TAKE ON ANOTHER MIND.
See to take on another mind is to bring one into being a new creature! Here are the steps to being a new creature .....
Repentance .... which is a radical change or exchange of mind.
Regeneration .... which is a radical change of nature.
Conversion .... which is a radical change of life-style.
So when Jesus said “Repent! for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” We by His Spirit would have understood, “Take a new mind! for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
To repent, above everything else, is a turning away from your wrong idea about God. It is changing your mind (by the Spirit of Truth) about everything you thought about God.
I see today in most to all churches Jesus is crucified again and again because they kill the image of God in Jesus by preaching a false idea of God, they crucify Jesus afresh. Because we need our minds, our whole impression of who God is and of what God is doing in the earth today, to be changed. I will confess I have repented of the mind of MYSTERY BABYLON and by His mercy and grace I have PUT ON THE MIND OF CHRIST! And because of mercy and grace I see the Word of life as the GOOD NEWS of who God is and His purpose for humanity!
This did not happen to me because I changed my MIND! It happen because of an exchange! I am a NEW CREATION in the image and likeness of God. So I have put away everything that comes from the natural mind, for the mind of Christ is not obtained through acquired knowledge or formal training.
It comes by the transforming work of the Spirit.
Again, repenting is not a weeping, it is not a wailing or mourning over our sins. Ohhhhh yes we may weep out of frustration and be sorry out of shame, but we have not truly repented until we have changed our mind about ourselves, the world, religion, the church, and God Himself. For true repentance deals less with the negatives of sin and failure and more with the positives of embracing God’s ways and God’s will. When we truly say an final and eternal “Yes” to His plan in our lives, we have repented.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done IN earth (ME), as it is in heaven.
See repentance means changing our mind and making decisions out of the mind of Christ! It means to NOT obey the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes or the pride of life! It means to be as He is .... GOD IS LOVE!
See ADAM CAN NOT REPENT neither CAN THE CARNAL MIND, for one to HEAR “Repent! for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand,” comes to you in the power of the Holy Spirit and you hear it by the Spirit, it is a creative word within you!
But as many as received him (Christ Jesus the Word), to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (Character): Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:12,13
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 1 Peter 1:23

Repentance is given, granted, and worked in us by God Himself.
“Him hath God exalted with His right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel...” Act 5:31
“When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life” Act 11:18
“Or despisest thou the riches of His goodness and forebearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?” Romans 2:4
“In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth” (II Tim. 2:25).
Come on can we not see that HUMANITY can only acknowledge the truth by receiving a new mind.
Let us look at other verses on repentance and see how they relate to the changing of mind.
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not. Jonah 3:10
WHAT God repented! Gosh did God have sin to repent from? Or did He have a CHANGE OF MIND?
And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. 1Ch 21:15
Ohhhhhh God changed His mind and the angel stopped destroying .....
Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part. Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small. The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD. Amos 7:4-6
Do we see that to repent means a change of mind. When scripture says "God repented" it means He changed His mind!
Time to come out of her for her leaven will seduce you. Trust me, to sit in her midst is to PARTAKE IN HER!
Repentance is the power by which we put aside our own will to embrace the will of God! Its is a radical change of mind.
Ask yourself this question, "Am I under the authority of God? Or do I operate by the will of the flesh?
Come on now take a moment and truly ask yourself that question!
I will answer it ...... Before a change of mind I was under the will of the flesh! Even them who met me in Kenya only saw a fake, one that acted like a born again believer but deep inside operated by the will of its own flesh. Did I know the ways of God? NO Did I have the mind of Christ? NO Was I lead by the Spirit of God? NO See our last trip to Kenya many saw my Wife and I in the change! Yes!!! We were being called to the narrow road by Him and to see that we needed the mind He offered to us!
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Cor 2:16
See we saw within our tent a "Babylonish garment" and at the same time we were hearing, “Repent! for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” The Kingdom is near you. Let your King possess His own. Let God enthrone Himself in you, that His will be done in you.
We were crossing over to the revelation of the rule of God in our hearTs by the Holy Spirit.
It is the cross over for this church age to the kingdom age and the King is approaching with His power, His glory, His profuse love and grace; therefore, you steeped in sin, and you entrenched in wickedness, and you overwhelmed with hopelessness and despair, and you bowed down with grief, and you who sit in darkness, and you shackled by the chains of religion, and you who are burdened with the impossible demands of the law and the commandments of men, and you who are weary of feast days, ceremonies, rituals, rules and regulations, ordinances, purifications, sacrifices, offerings, pilgrimages and self-righteousness of men, all ye people of the earth, make way for such a King as this!

“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls” Mat. 11:28-29
Yes! Jesus is saying that there must be a change in our thinking in regard to the Kingdom of Heaven. We must see this Kingdom differently from the way the scribes and Pharisees and chief priests and elders of His day were seeing it. They were viewing the Kingdom in the very same way the Baptists, Fundamentalists, Pentecostals and Charismatics are viewing the Kingdom today. They were expecting an earthly Kingdom with an earthly Ruler. In their minds that rule of God was yet future, away out in some Golden Age yet to dawn.
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:21
“Repent!" Change your mind about it! “For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” Repent, change your way of thinking about the Kingdom. Don’t think of the Kingdom any longer as future, as something one day coming, because the Kingdom is now at hand, accessible. It is not future. It is now. It is available.
It is a place of dominion deep within you that governs and controls the rest of your outlook

The Greek word for repentance (METANOIA) basically means to transfer the realm from which we think. See Jesus the Christ opened this realm up to humanity. He was telling them, “I don’t want you to merely try and change your mind because your mind is carnal; it is not subject to God, nor will it ever be. What I want you to do is draw from another account which I am quickening within you, in your spirit. I am giving you this account; now I want you to draw your thoughts from this realm of the spirit.”
Once we begin to think out of the spirit of wisdom and revelation from God instead of the brain, we immediately perceive that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. We need to have our minds renewed, in the light of Kingdom reality.
Them with the new mind know the rule of the kingdom of God is at hand! For we must think differently about everything and prepare for a new order, a new way of life, a new reality. For in this kingdom there will be a Royal Priesthood after the Order of Melchizedek ministering to men the blood-life of the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world.
We have been translated out of the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son.
When Jesus came proclaiming the Kingdom He didn’t say, “Repent because you have been sinning.” Sin is not the issue in the Kingdom; the issue is UNION. Are you in union with the flesh or the Spirit? God has called upon us to repent of the rule of the flesh, the rule of the carnal mind, the rule of the world, the rule of religion, the rule of the church-systems, the rule of laws and external ordinances, and all that pertains to the old order and to have life in the new order.
The Kingdom of heaven .... God's order!
