02841 – Repentance

REPENTANCE is not seen in tears; it is not seen in words; it is not seen in emotion. Repentance is long, slow, consistent change over an extended period of time because it is from the heart outward. Heart change is supernatural work….

REPENTANCE of habituated sin is never immediate. Discernment of good and evil, conscience, or any desire to obey God have all been trampled and killed. Such things are not awakened and strong and consistent simply because someone has been caught.
