Michelle Remington (00:41):
Have you ever felt stuck, I mean, like,
stagnant, like you're just kindof hovering over this situation
going on in your life or just inyour life, in general doesn't
feel like anything is movingright now. But yet, you get this
sense, you need to do somethingto make this move. Or maybe you

(01:03):
don't get this sense of that.
And you're just waiting for Godto move. And you're waiting, and
you're waiting, and you'rewaiting. And all you're wanting
out of this stagnation istransformation. Because you've
been praying and hoping for solong, for deliverance out of a
situation out of certainbehaviors in your life, whatever

(01:29):
it may be. The answer to this isvery simple. And that's what
we're going to talk about today.
But I don't think this is a verypopular subject. However, it is
severely lacking in the churchtoday. And this needs to be the
the number one thing that weturn to because this is

(01:53):
something that Paul preached inthe scriptures. And that thing
is repentance is not just athing. It's a key. It's a
catalyst to your change. Andit's been a catalyst to my
change. I will tell you rightnow, I am not the same person
that I was four years ago. Noteven, yes, I've got, you know,

(02:14):
the same traits and everythinglike that. But I process things
so much differently. And I'mhappier because of it because
God has opened my mind throughthis process, to allow me to see
and understand myself and how Iprocess things, how I see the
world, how I can help people andhow he is using me in this

(02:39):
world. This repentance that somany people shy away from this
is the game changer in yourlife. This is where the healing
begins. This is where freedombegins. on your journey is where
peace begins. So if any of thishas resonated with you, this

(03:01):
episode is for you.

Worth It! Intro (03:03):
Welcome to worth it, the podcast where we
answer anxiety, deflate fear andshut down shame you were made to
thrive. My mission is to helpyou get deeply rooted with God
and reclaim your weapon that theenemy of God has been using
against you. After going tobattle for my own mind. Four
years ago, I realized that thereis a war going on for our minds.

(03:26):
A battle that begins with how wethink. Sis, you have much more
control than you realize. Witheach episode you'll learn how to
fight back and become moreconfident in the truth that God
already knows. You are worth it.
I'm Michelle Remington,Christian Mindset Coach, Thought
Captivator, Daughter of the Kingand Warrior Mama. Grab your

(03:47):
sword daughter of the king, it'stime to unleash your inner
Warrior Princess.

Michelle Remington (04:02):
Welcome back Warrior. And this today is most
definitely warrior training.
This is kind of some intensewarrior training, if you will,
because this is a huge battle.
For many people. Repentance iswhat we're talking about today.
And this is something that theenemy of God doesn't even want

(04:24):
you to go near to. Becauserepentance means that you are
changing your heart and inchanging your heart, you're
turning it closer to God andthen God in turn is continuing
to work in you and he can workmore mightily in you through
repentance. That's why the enemyof God doesn't want you to see

(04:46):
it.
And quite honestly, thisparticular subject that a lot of
people don't like to talk aboutis something that can cause a
lot of people to remembercondemnation that they have felt
In the past, because they've hadexperiences with people, they've
had experiences with people inthe church, but these are

(05:08):
people, this is not God. Youcannot pin what people do on
God. The word repentance makessome people instantly think
about judgment and condemnation.
But everything in the scripturetells you that repentance brings
about peace, healing,transformation, freedom. That's
what repentance is all about.

(05:32):
And it is absolutely vital,vital, I want you to listen so
closely today, if you have tolisten to it a few times, I
don't care. As long as you getwhat God wants you to get from
this repentance is vital to yourjourney, of freedom of emotional
intelligence, and reaching thepotential that God has created

(05:54):
for you in reaching the nextlevel in your relationship with
God. And repentance is not justa one time thing, it's not a one
and done is not the same asconfessing your faith. It's not
the same as regretting the badthings that you have done.
Repentance is a transformationalexperience, in your walk of

(06:16):
faith with Jesus, it is alifestyle choice. As Paul says,
I die daily. He's talking aboutrepentance.
Now, I know you probably usuallydon't hear those two together,
repentance, and lifestylechoice, I get it. But that's
really what it is. This is justa part of your closer walk with

(06:42):
God is repentance. God isn'tcondemning you or anything like
that. But as we go through thisworld, and as humans, we make
mistakes. We have misjudgments.
And God in His grace and Hismercy is, has given us this
ability to repent of the thingsthat we have done, so that we

(07:06):
can be free of them, andcontinue to pursue him pursue
his ways, and change the waythat we live while we do it, as
we draw closer to Him.
Condemnation, would be if Godwere to say, Boy, you did this,
so you're never gonna live withme. In heaven. You did this. So

(07:30):
you're never going to see theday you're never going to hear
well done, thou good andfaithful servant. condemnation
is just like throwing it up inyour face. And you know, who
does that real? Well? Yeah, theenemy of God, we don't mention
his name, we glorify God, thatwe say that he is the enemy of

(07:52):
God. He's the one thatspecializes in condemnation, and
does that exact thing. And wewill see it on Judgement day
because he is going to be there,throwing up all kinds of shade
and condemnation. Like they didthis, they did this and they
don't deserve to live with youeternally in heaven. Yeah, he

(08:15):
shady.
So for those who have had a badexperience with people that go
to church, maybe it's been a badexperience with a whole church
or a big group in church, maybeit's been several bad
experiences. I just want toremind you that those are
people. And those are peoplethat are in church because they

(08:38):
need God, and you'reexperiencing them in moments
where they are missing the mark.
And as the Word says, We haveall fallen short of the glory of
God, in in those moments whereyou have experienced that
condemnation, or judgment orwhatever it was in the church.

(09:00):
Maybe we didn't know enoughabout God in His Word and His
ways to know that those weremoments where we could have had
mercy, and grace. But because ofexperiences that we've had
previously in life, and emotionsand perceptions that we have had

(09:20):
in life, those experiences withthe church with people in church
triggered something. And it madeyou shy away. It made you back
away from God, it made you stayaway from God, when you were so
close to being beginning yourrelationship with him, or

(09:41):
furthering your relationshipwith him. But that's okay.
Because we're here right now.
So maybe that's part of yourhealing, maybe healing from bad
church experiences or healingfrom other traumatic experiences
in your life in those times whenYou could have gone further in

(10:02):
your relationship with God. Thegood thing is, is that God is a
redeemer of time, and he will doit. He is faithful to do it.
It's just human beings, nothandling faith Well, not
explaining faith well, beingcarnal. In that carnal
experience. A lot of timespeople attribute that to God.

(10:24):
But I know for a fact that asyou read the Word of God, you
will find that God is not a Godof condemnation. He is not a God
of carnal reactions. He is a Godof peace, and love, and mercy,
and grace, He is faithful.

(10:44):
And the very fact that you arehere listening to this means
that he's not done with you,yet. God is still working in
you. And he is working in you tobring about a conversation. And
not just any conversation, atransformational conversation,
the conversation you have beenwaiting for longing for aching

(11:10):
for, for so long, so much so inyour spirit that you couldn't
even bring about the words tosay it. But your tears, told it.
I have been there. Many, manytimes. And I can tell you that
God is faithful. He hears you,he sees you. So I want you to

(11:38):
join me today. take that leapwith me today.
Now, I'm sure you've heard theterm "carrying a lot of
baggage". And usually thatrefers to like emotional trauma,
or stress, spiritual trauma orstress experiences, abuse, stuff

(12:00):
that. It just leaves youhaggard. It's stuff that leaves
you weary and worn and battered.
But you're carrying this baggagearound with you, because that's
all you've got. That's all, youknow.
In this transformationalexperience of repentance. This
is the therapeutic moment, whenwe let it go, we put the baggage

(12:23):
down and we walk away from it,we throw it over a cliff, we set
it on fire, whatever! Whateveryou have to do in your mind, to
let that go. I can't tell youhow many times I have prayed and
repented to God. And I knew Ihad to let things go. And I

(12:46):
literally just hold my hand out.
And just mentally putting thatthing in my hands. And with my
eyes closed, I lay that thingdown. I leave that baggage down
before Jesus's throne issomething that I have to
physically see myself do andlike physically take the action

(13:09):
to do. And for me, that's partof the healing process.
So let's first go over thedifference between repentance
and regret. Because this is veryimportant. Because when you're
in the midst of the chaos, itcan be hard to determine the

(13:33):
difference between regret andrepentance. This is something
that we spiritually discern. Andas with other disciplines that
we practice in our life, this issomething that the more we
practice, in our walk with God,the more we're able to
differentiate between the two,because we have past experiences

(13:57):
to draw from.
So regret is basically when youfeel sorry for doing something,
maybe you were caught, so youfeel bad about it. And because
you feel bad about it. You wantto say oh I'm sorry God, but
somehow or some way you end updoing it again, going back to

(14:18):
it. Repentance is when you havea change of mind, a change of
heart. And you see that whateverthis thing is that you are
repenting of that you've done issomething that grieves God. And
because it grieves God, itgrieves you and you genuinely
want to change. You genuinelyseek to change and you are ready

(14:44):
to pursue that change. And atthat point, spiritually you are
opening yourself even further toGod. And this allows Him to work
even more in your life.
Now, with both, there may be alot of crying. But with
repentance, you end up leavingthat meeting with God, trusting

(15:08):
and knowing that God is going tobe with you, and He's going to
help you. So when you'rerepenting, I'm going to do a
little walkthrough for you.
Obviously, you're going to go toprayer. And you may need some
time to think. And, you know,pray, ask God to search your
heart, or maybe you're sittingthere in silence with God, and
you're searching your heart withhim together. And then you begin

(15:30):
to speak. And you say, Lord, Irepent of this, whatever it is,
I mean, this is the moment whereyou're, you're like, really,
really getting real with God.
I've mentioned getting real withGod before, this is, this is
part of it, don't hold anythingback. Don't hide anything, he

(15:51):
already sees it. When you'regetting real with God, it can be
difficult, because you're alsogetting real with yourself.
Because a lot of times, thingsthat you're repenting of, is the
things that you've been tryingto hide, or trying to gloss over
and ignore and not even lookedat. And sometimes you may find
it hard to speak not becauseit's hard to speak to God, but

(16:12):
it's hard to hear yourself sayit. So when you ask God, you
say, God, I repent, and you letit all out, let it all out,
girl, okay. And, like I saidbefore, what I do sometimes is
like, I feel like I will need totake some physical action to
repent of this for myself.

(16:35):
And this is something that asyou continue this lifestyle of
repentance, you're going to findyour own rhythm of what you need
to do, when you are repenting ofwhatever it is, and I'm not
saying that, you know, you'regonna have to repent every day,
all day, because you're such abad person. No, we are human, we

(16:56):
make mistakes. And here's onething I want to explain to you.
And I am so thankful that mypastor explained this to me in
discipleship. When I firststarted going to church, there
are sins of omission and sins ofomission. So sins of omission

(17:18):
are sins that you know, that youhave done that you don't want to
talk about. But then Sins ofcomission are sins that you
don't even know you've alreadydone. And I can tell you from
experience, when you are goingthrough emotional turmoil,
emotional crisis in your life,there are things that you're

(17:38):
going to do, there's their sins,that that you're going to do
without even realizing that itwas a sin, you're not going to
realize until later.
But as part of your healing, Ihighly, highly recommend that
you repent once you realize it,because once you realize it, it
switches over into the omission.
It bounces from comission toomission. Once you realize what

(17:59):
you've done, there's nocondemnation here, no
condemnation at all. That's theenemy of God trying to make you
feel bad about repenting hopingthat you're not actually going
to repent, repentance, this actof repentance, that you are
practicing is an act of seekingyour freedom. It's an act of

(18:21):
liberation. It's an act ofpeacemaking with God. And with
yourself and it may be hard atfirst, because you're still
healing from some of the traumathat you're going through.
So if you feel like you needsome help, even if it's just

(18:41):
like, you're kind of like on thefence, and you're wondering,
like, oh, maybe I do, maybe Idon't. But that emotional
turmoil, and that trauma can beso overwhelming for you,
sometimes. I am going to urgeyou, I urge you to seek out and
get in contact work with amember of your church ministry,

(19:02):
or a Christian counselor thatcan help you through this
process. Because if you're ifyou're feeling shaky about it in
any way, I don't want you to bealone. I do want you to be with
a spirit filled friend, or amember of your ministry filled
with the Holy Spirit that canhelp guide you through this.

(19:27):
Now, one thing I will saybecause for a long time, I did
this in your journey, andpossibly like a fear of moving
forward. You may try to userepentance as a crutch. I know
it sounds kind of weird, but alot of people do it. They keep

(19:50):
repenting and repenting andrepenting, but there's not much
change going on. is kind of likestalled repentance. Always
remember that repentancerequires more action from you,
after your conversation ofrepentance and prayer, there's

(20:11):
going to be some kind of actionthat you need to take to
continue in the process. And tomove with the work that God is
doing is kind of like, if you'rein a ship, but there's no wind,
that stagnant, you're gonna needthe power of some wind to move
you, and your ship is going tobe moving, and you're gonna have

(20:34):
to move with your ship.
Now, another thing that you mayexperience, when you begin your
journey, through repentance withGod, you may find that it gets
frustrating. And it's because Iwas kind of like in this stall
phase. And it got frustrating tothe point where I was like, am I

(20:56):
here? Again, Lord, I'm gettingso frustrated with myself, Lord,
why do you deal with this? Whydo you still love me like I
would have, I would have givenup on myself. Now, part of that
is not giving yourself grace andmercy. But remember, the other
part of that is whatever thataction is, that you need to

(21:18):
take, once you repent, and youknow what that action is, you
know, it may not be as drasticas the acts that you took to
change your life, once you beginto live for God, it may be
something so subtle, or it maybe some of the most challenging
things that you've done in yourlife, I don't know what it's

(21:39):
gonna look like for you. Butjust know that a change is going
to need to happen, you're goingto need to execute that change.
However big or small, however,insignificant, or huge, it may
be.
And remember, anytime you try tomove closer to God, that's when

(22:01):
the enemy of God is gonna try tomove in and kick your feet out
from under you, kick you whileyou're down, start beating on
you, and lying to you whisperingin your ear, as you're
repenting, saying, oh, you'resuch a bad person. No one could
ever love you. God doesn't loveyou, you're so horrible, that
any of those lies, soundfamiliar to negative thoughts

(22:25):
that may be running through yourhead, or may have run through
your head. Yeah, he doesn'treally change up his tactics
much. But you can always findthe truth of who God says you
are in His Word. And in prayer,he will amplify that, in your

(22:45):
experience with His Spirit. Godloves you so much, that he's
giving you this safe space, torepent, and to learn the process
of repentance. And we need tokeep practicing, keep practicing
repentance, as we continue topractice repentance, the better

(23:09):
and the better we get.
And we may soon realize that I'mnot repenting as much as I was,
I'm doing a whole lot better.
But repentance is something thathas to go hand in hand, with
prayer. And with reading God'sword. As my pastor said
recently, the more of God's wordthat you consume, the more God

(23:30):
has to work with. And then youamplify that with repentance,
and reading God's word. And themore you amplify that with
repentance, and prayer, oh,God's gonna have so much to work
with. And through thatexperience, you're going to be
able to open yourself more andmore.

(23:56):
I've said it in past episodes,but the way that, that I see it
for myself, and is really helpedme to open up more to God, and
to allow him to work more fullyin me is to picture myself as a
house. And like I literally inmy mind, pictured myself giving

(24:19):
him the key to the house. And Isaid, verbally, Jesus, I give
you the keys to my house, tothis temple that you have
created. You've got all the keysto every single doors, the doors
I want you to open the doors Idon't want you to open the doors

(24:39):
I know about and the doors Idon't know about, like supressed
thoughts and feelings andexperiences. And I've done this
several times because I knowthat number one I need to
reminder that and like I need togive my mind and my my, my in my
hearing I need to give my mindand my body, my brain a reminder

(25:00):
that I am giving Jesus fullreign to work in me.
What you say what you say, isvery important, not just in the
world, but in prayer in yourprayer life in your spiritual
life, how you speak to God, andhis word is so powerful,
especially, especially if youwant God's Word to have the most

(25:23):
power in your life. You've heardme say it before, the triple
whammy. You speak it, you seeit, you hear it, your body is
getting full immersion, likefull on baptism in the Word of
God. And that's why repentancecan be a catalyst in your life.
If you've been praying. Ifyou've been reading God's word,

(25:48):
and you're wanting God to workmore in your life, you've seen
him work in your life already.
And you want more of Jesus.
Repentance is your next step.
Repentance is the next thingthat you add to your spiritual
life with Jesus. And when you dothat, you will see a true

(26:13):
transformation, thetransformation that you've been
craving, and yearning for achingfor I've experienced this for
myself, not just when I firststarted living for God, and
understanding his word and goingthrough discipleship.

(26:35):
But other times in my life whereI got stuck, I got stagnant, and
I needed God to move. But Godneeded me to make a move.
Because I had all this baggage,I picked up all this stuff. And
honestly, if we pick up all thisstuff, if we pick up all these

(27:00):
bags, think about it, are wereally gonna be like, okay,
Lord, just take all these bags,we're gonna have to do some
work, to let this baggage go in,there may be some of those bags
that are hard to detach. But Godcan help you through it. And you
may need God to detach some ofthe lighter bags, in order for

(27:24):
you to physically take off. Someof the bags that have formed an
indentation in your skin, thathave maybe left scars.
It's funny, I'll be honest withyou, like, show you a little
snapshot into how I, how allthese things, all these

(27:46):
thoughts, all these conceptscome to life. Since beginning
this podcast, there's so manytimes when I'll be in prayer,
I'll be reading God's word andall the son he just gives me a
download. And gives me the theseideas of what to do a show on.

(28:09):
And it's not just like, an ideaof like one sentence, he gives
me the idea. And then he startsmoving the gears in my brain and
thinking about like, how I'mgoing to talk about this. What,
what experience from my pastthat I can use to relate this to

(28:29):
that will show God and I I'velost count honestly of the
amount of times where God hastaken me on that emotional
journey, usually to remind me,of the vulnerable moments of the
thoughts, the feelings, theemotions, the raw emotions that

(28:54):
you feel at that time, theagony, the doubt, the fear, the
worry, the shame.
There's so many times when hetakes me on that journey to
remind me and I thoroughlybelieve he does that so that I
don't miss out on something. Butmainly so that I can my words

(29:18):
can meet you where you are. Andthat's exactly what I pray this
podcast does is meet you whereyou are. Now in the case of
repentance, I cannot stressenough. I cannot emphasize

(29:38):
enough to you how vitallyvitally important repentance is.
You have to have it. You mayhave trauma connected to it.
There may be triggers connectedto it for you. You can rely on
God and you can take those toGod, and He will help you to

(30:02):
release those so that you canbegin your journey, your
lifestyle of repentance, it hasto happen.
Like I said before, it's becauseof those sins of omission. And
those sins of omission. sins ofomission are the ones that you

(30:23):
don't realize you're doing untilafter you've done it. And it may
be years after, you don'trealize that, oh, wow, I
shouldn't have done that. Andthere's been times when I've
repented for something that Idid years ago, because God,
praise God, he opened up my eyesand helped me to see. And a lot

(30:45):
of times, when, even when Irepent of something that I
experienced or did, like yearsand years ago, what I didn't
realize, but God realized isthat there's some kind of an
emotional string there that'sbeen triggered, that's been
triggering me that's beenaffecting, and changing how I've

(31:06):
been reacting to my currentlife, something that's been
holding me back. Or maybe it'ssomething that, as I see it now,
it's like a light bulb, gone offin my mind. And I see, number
one where God has been workingand work God worked in my life.

(31:29):
And I get like, this epiphanymoment is like this instant
download from God, like, Oh,that's what it means. And you
get this more full understandingfrom God. God works in so many
amazing ways. So many amazingways.

(31:50):
God is faithful, a God is good.
The times that we live in, arechanging drastically. And
repentance is becoming moreimportant than ever. Because as
things change, we will bechallenged. as things change, we
will be desensitized to certainthings. And that in itself,

(32:15):
silently challenges, ourbeliefs, silently challenges,
this faith that we have builtour lives upon, and the less
baggage we have. And the more wefocus and make a lifestyle out
of praying, reading God's word,repentance, and really studying

(32:39):
God's word and understanding it.
And I'm not just talking fromlike, a scholarly level of
understanding like the sevenGreek words for love or anything
like that. I'm talking aboutgetting a real understanding of
God's Word, and how it appliesto us today. Because today is

(33:02):
quickly changing, and the timesare quickly changing.
Transformation needs to occur.
And if you're hearing this, ifyou're hearing my voice, talk
about repentance, this is yourwake up call. This is God
calling on you to repent, itwon't be easy at first, it may

(33:24):
be challenging, you may getfrustrated with yourself. Or you
may even surprise yourself andcome out of your prayer in your
repentance, conversation withGod and feel light and feel that
burden of that baggage taken offof you. Either way that
repentance needs to occur fortransformation, to continue.

(33:47):
Your relationship with God ismore than just an initial
experience with him. It's like asaga. It's a journey. It's a
lifetime with God, we have tochange the way that we look at
our faith in our relationshipwith God. Because just like when

(34:07):
we enter into a marriagecontract with someone is the
good, the bad, the ugly is thesame with God, the good, the
bad, the ugly, only he knows us.
Like through and through.
But he's not carnal and hedoesn't like throw it up in our
face. Every time we have a fightor something. He knows us. He

(34:30):
loves us, in his patient withus. Even more patient with us
when he sees us trying to changeand go through this journey to
for our own selves, find theperson that He created us to be
so many times, we've taken on somuch baggage that we don't even

(34:51):
recognize ourselves evenanymore. Now because He created
us God will always recognize usbut we can so easily lose
ourselves. In this world.
So today's podcast was aboutrepentance. I hope, I pray that
this has been enlightening foryou. And hopefully, you've been

(35:16):
able to learn something from myexperiences and from, like the
things that I've been taught,but the one thing I will ask of
you, is to take this to heart,knowing that there is no amount
of condemnation here, and only asincere, honest and true love
for you. Because I know whatit's like to feel stuck. I know

(35:41):
what it's like to feel lost andlonely, depressed, ready to give
up hopeless, in darkness. ButI've also seen what happens when
you cry out to God, from thedarkness, that he kicks into the
door, that door of the dungeonthat you made for yourself, and

(36:03):
that you've allowed yourself tobe beaten and bruised in. And
I've seen the transformationthat can happen when you begin a
lifestyle of repentance inunderstanding who God is that he
is holy, and he is good. Thereis no shade in him. There is no

(36:26):
sin in him.
There's a reason why God camedown from his throne as Jesus
and sacrificed himself on thecross for us, because he knew
that we would make mistakes. Buthe knew that it was possible in

(36:47):
the human heart for us torepent, and to change our ways.
And knowing that he decided tomake a way for that to happen.
Instead of living by the law anddying by the law. He went back
to his original covenant andpromise with Abraham, that

(37:10):
covenant of faith. And in dyingon the cross, he built that
bridge of faith to reach youwhere you are, that bridge of
faith and forgiveness. And theway we walk across it is
repentance and righteous living,living the right way for God.

(37:33):
God is gracious, God isfaithful. You cannot even fathom
how much he loves you. Thismessage is for you today. Let's
go ahead and finish out inprayer.
Lord Jesus, I praise you and Iglorify God. Honestly, I'm just
floored at your grace and yourmercy and your amazing love. It

(37:58):
surpasses all condemnation. Itsurpasses every frustration that
we may have with our self, thatyou have provided this
opportunity for us to continuewith you. And to experience you
more is amazing. And I prayLord, for the person hearing
this, I pray, Lord, that Youwould help them through this

(38:22):
process of learning repentance.
I pray, Lord, that You wouldhelp them as they begin their
journey. Help them through theirjourney. open their eyes, open
their heart, help them to seethe areas where they falter. But
as they see the areas where theyfaltered, Lord, I pray that you
would help them also see yourlove and your mercy, and feel

(38:44):
your love and your mercy. Ipray, Lord, that You would meet
them where they are. I prayLord, a hedge of protection
around the person listening sothat they would find that safe
space where they can repent anddraw closer to you, God, no
matter where they are, no matterwhat situation they are in, you

(39:06):
can make away where there was noway. And I thank you for that.
Jesus. I thank you, Lord, foryour great love in your mercy,
Lord, I thank you, Lord, forshowing those that are
listening, that you are not donewith them yet. And it's fueled
by your on imaginable. Love forthem. I praise you Jesus and I

(39:31):
glorify Your name god, it's inyour precious in Your holy name,
we pray, Amen. And Amen.
