The Altar of Repentance - When the ancient prophets persuaded the people to repent and return, they were calling for a complete turnaround inspired from within the heart and will of the individual. The prophets called both the nation of Israel and individual people to surrender their lives, to turn away from a life ruled by sin and turn to a relationship with God, the sovereign ruler over all (Joel 2:12 the VOICE). Repentance in the Bible involves a complete and irreversible change of mind, heart, and actions. Repentance recognizes that our sin is offensive to God; and separates us from Him and each other. To repent means to make an about-face, heart-directed turn away from self to God, from the past to a future ruled by God’s commands, acknowledging that the Lord reigns supreme over one’s existence (Acts 3:17-21). Repentance leads to renewal or spiritual revival. Spiritual revival, which always starts on a personal level, can give rise to great healing and deliverance on a corporate level. 

 Repentance is a continuous process of seeking to live a life of faith and obedience with God's will. Thanking the Lord our God and Heavenly Father for His grace, mercy, forgiveness and restoration!
