As I start my spiritual journey, I've learned how key repentance really is. It helps us elevate spiritually and find forgiveness from God, and helps us lock our divine connection to the Most High. And allow me to please elaborate on who I'm referring to....
I'm referring to the one, commonly known as God, the Most High, and about 99 other names. I'm not referring to other Earthly 🌎 gods or other powers of this world. I'm talking about the one who is responsible for the air I'm breathing right now, the one who is responsible for the sky, the birds in the air, the trees, nature, etc. Matter of fact, the one who MADE my nostrils.
He identified and confirmed himself for the first time, to Moses in the book of Exodus, chapter 3, verses 13 to 16: (if you Really wanna know what His true name actually is) I also have videos on the subject as well. Click Here for video on the True Name of the Single, Highest God in this Universe.
Exodus 3:13 (KJV) And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
Exodus 3:14 (KJV) And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Exodus 3:15 (KJV) And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
Exodus 3:16 (KJV) Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:

And You know what? I'm at that stage in my life where I'm starting to get older. Or at least in my opinion, I'm starting to think I'm getting older, since I turned 42 in September, last year. I have some sincere regrets, mixed feelings, and emotions about my past, poor choices I have made, and my spiritual growth is definitely affected. In other words, I'm spiritually malnourished. I keep these emotions and feelings well-hidden and usually in check, but I'm all tapped out in anger and bitterness. Meaning, my cup will soon start overflowing with those low-vibrational, harmful feelings like anger, resentment, hurt, pain, etc. So due to my brewing curiosity, I have performed some research and collected my personal experience/advice to help others like myself to discover how to make a Powerful spiritual self-cleansing through Repentance. If we're referring to a spiritual cleansing, then this powerful repentance is as close to an authentic one that we're gonna get. Here's what I have discovered....
Making a powerful repentance to God involves an authentic, heartfelt process of acknowledging one's wrongs, seeking forgiveness, and keeping a commitment to making change. Here’s how one can approach it from what I've gathered:
1. Reflect upon and Acknowledge Your Sins
Take time to reflect on how your actions, thoughts, or behaviors that may have gone against God’s will or even your own moral beliefs.
Be honest with yourself; repentance begins with reality, humility, and self-awareness.
2. Feel Genuine Remorse
Repentance is meaningful when it comes from a place of genuine regret and true sorrow for your actions.
Understand how your own actions may have hurt anyone - yourself, others, or even distanced you from God or His will. Even if you're in the mirror, apologizing to yourself, that's ok too.
You will Know when it hits you because your tears 😭 WILL COME and your emotions and feelings might get overwhelming, but your job is to LET IT. Fall to your knees, whine really loudly, ball uncontrollably, scream "I'm sorry!", Whatever. Cry until it hurts to get back up. Cry until your eyes look blood-shot and your head hurts. Cry like a traumatized child. Why? Because this is your time for something called Healing. Pure, adulterated Healing. Otherwise known as spiritual cleansing and healing.
I believe that when you sincerely cry 😢 😭 from the bottom of your heart, that's where the power of your spiritual cleansing is. How much anguish you're feeling at the time that you are releasing those tears. All that hurt, pain, sorrow, anger, frustration, etc. is being manually cleansed out. That's your power right there. How hard you cry and how strongly those low-vibrational emotions are exiting through your teary-eyed secretions are examples of just how powerful your spiritual cleansing really is. Because once you have cried your last tear 😢 and you're all cried out, thereafter comes the Healing part. You quickly start to recover, you start to feel better. Your eyes are drying up, that mourning headache starts to fade away by itself. These are natural processes. A natural, manual healing. Not an influenced spiritual healing by powers of this world, but a natural healing by the grace of God, or I Am. You then start to physically feel restored and refreshed.
3. Confess Your Sins to God
Speak to God through prayer. Be specific and honest about your sins, expressing your regret.
If your faith tradition encourages confession through a spiritual leader, a pastor, a teacher, or a community, at least consider participating in it.
4. Ask for Forgiveness
With humility, ask God to forgive you. Trust in His mercy, compassion, understanding, and grace, believing that He is willing to forgive those who sincerely seek it.
5. Make Amends
If your actions have hurt others, take steps to make things right. Apologize, try to restore what was damaged, or seek reconciliation where possible.
6. Commit to Change
Show your sincerity by turning away from sinful habits and striving to live according to God’s guidance.
Replace negative behaviors with positive actions that align that with your faith moral values.
7. Pray Regularly
Stay connected to God through prayer, asking for strength, guidance, and protection from spiritual dryness or spiritual laziness, in effort to avoid repeating past mistakes.
8. Study Scripture
Seek wisdom and encouragement in holy texts, surround yourself with like-minded people to deepen your understanding of God’s will and stay on the right path.
9. Surround Yourself with Support
Again, Surround yourself with like-minded people or a community that assists you, encourages you to grow spiritually, and supports your efforts in maintaining your commitment to God.
10. Trust in God’s Grace
Believe that God’s forgiveness is greater than any sin. Sincere repentance is met with compassion and mercy. The Bible is one of the greatest books of all time that refers to the mercy of God.
This journey may not be easy, but the effort you put into it demonstrates your love and dedication to, and essentially love for God.
Key Takeaways
Repentance is a crucial step towards spiritual change and divine forgiveness.
It allows us to let go of past mistakes and move forward with a heightened confidence, removes all old, low-vibrational and stagnant feelings, and provides a renewed sense of purpose.
Through repentance, we can experience the true, refreshing freedom and Restoration that comes with it.
A powerful repentance to God requires a willingness to change and grow.
It's a personal journey that requires patience, self-reflection, and a continuous commitment to spiritual growth.
By seeking divine forgiveness, we can deepen our connection with God and essentially live a more meaningful life.
Understanding True Repentance
Exploring true repentance shows it's key to growing spiritually. It's more than just feeling guilty. It's wanting to change and follow a biblical path. This means owning up to mistakes, taking responsibility, and working to change.
Repentance VS Guilt
True repentance is different from guilt. Guilt is more of a low-vibration feeling that can push us to change, but repentance is a deeper emotion, and it's a higher vibration emotion as well. It's about following a biblical path to redemption and forgiveness and removing or eliminating the excess, negative spiritual baggage. Personally, I'd prefer the deeper, higher vibrational emotion to have.
What Genuine Repentance Means
Genuine repentance means being truthful about our flaws. It's about reality, self-reflection, accountability, and learning from one's own mistakes. This leads to a more maturing, harmonic, and meaningful way of life.
The Difference Between Guilt and Repentance
Guilt can feel heavy, and it's negative, but repentance brings freedom and feels lightweight. It's moving from shame to spiritual growth. Repentance helps us overcome past mistakes and accomplish new purpose.
Biblical Foundation of Repentance
The Bible teaches us about God's plan for redemption. It shows repentance is about our relationship with God. Following this path gives us comfort and support in our spiritual journey. References noted below from KJV Bible:
Ezekiel 18:20 (KJV) The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Ezekiel 18:21 (KJV) But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Ezekiel 18:22 (KJV) All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
Ezekiel 18:23 (KJV) Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
Ezekiel 18:24 (KJV) But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
Ezekiel 18:32 (KJV) For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
The above Bible scriptures are a perfect sign that The Most High will forgive our sins and transgressions. It appears to me that He WANTS to forgive, but it needs to be genuine and the process of repentance needs to be done. Bottom line.
Preparing My Heart for Spiritual Change
Starting my journey of spiritual change, I know how crucial heart preparation is. It means looking inward, understanding my spiritual state, and asking for divine help. This step is key to growing spiritually and changing from within.
I see that spiritual change takes time, effort, and a readiness to learn. By asking for divine guidance, I can better understand my spiritual needs. This path is about making small, thoughtful steps towards growth, not sudden changes.
Important steps in preparing my heart for change include:
Reflecting on myself to find areas to improve.
Seeking divine guidance through prayer, meditation, and scripture.
Being around positive people and a supportive community.
Keeping a humble, grateful, and open mindset to change.
By preparing my heart and seeking divine guidance, I lay a solid base for change. This base helps me face life's challenges with more ease, wisdom, and faith. I'm dedicated to growing spiritually, trusting divine guidance to light my way.
Recognizing My Need for Divine Forgiveness
Reflecting on my journey, I see that needing divine forgiveness is key. It's about admitting where I've failed and asking for forgiveness from God, myself, and others. This helps me move past self-blame and towards true healing.
I've learned that forgiveness from God is ongoing. It means I must find what about myself needs repentance, understand my mistakes, and fix them if I can. This opens the door to healing and growth. It's a journey of self-discovery, humility, and surrender.
This journey may not be easy, and the spiritual cleansing process itself DOES take alot out of you, but the effort you put into it demonstrates your love and dedication to God, and the personal and spiritual elevation and restoration you receive for all your troubles proves to make the entire process well worth it.
