Preface

(Turn to God with a broken heart)         

               Psalm 51:17 says, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.”  If we are truly sorry, we will do something about the problem.  We will fully repent.  We will listen to God, and we will obey Him. 

          If there is sin in your life, don’t expect God to listen to you.  When we fully turn back to God, He will hear us and answer our prayers.

 

          This sermon, True Repentance, was preached October 14, 2001 a.m.  It has been edited for publication purposes.  Kevin Badgley, the author, is the Pastor of Living Hope Fellowship Church.

 


 

TRUE REPENTANCE

by Pastor Kevin Badgley

 

 

GOD HEARETH NOT SINNERS

          John 9:31 says, “Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.”  This is the basis for all repentance. 

          Our nation has been estranged from God.  Our nation is now being propagated as a nation of freedom loving people - free to do as they please.  They worship the god that they will, to live with one another in harmony, but our country was not founded in such a way.  Our country was founded Christian, and Christianity is not compatible with other gods.  The only way that will get you to God is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. 

          The Bible says that there is only one God.  There is a whole chapter devoted to the miracle of restored sight that Jesus performed on a man who was born blind.  The man’s biggest challenges came after he could see!  He realized the Pharisees had dead religion. He had a challenge to cohabitate with the Pharisees or to go on for Christ who had called him.

          We can’t even repent except the Spirit of the Lord deals with us.  This blind man who was just delivered by the hand of Jesus knew that God hears not sinners.  The Bible says the wicked and all nations that forget God shall be turned into hell.  This denotes that the true God was at one time their God, as we see in the United States of America. 

          God is a mighty God, and He will not listen to unclean mouths.  God does not adhere to all religion.  God is not ecumenical or group oriented.  God is holy and righteous.  God is pure and clean, and He calls for His people to be likewise. 

          The only hope for America is for it to cry out to God for mercy.  The sinner needs to run to a child of the living God and cry for them to intercede for them, that God would deal with them again.  They must call upon the Lord as He deals with them, so they can be saved.  Only then will God hear them. 

          The only time that God will hear a sinner is when he cries out for forgiveness when God is dealing with him.  It behooves us as Christians to pray that God will deal with sinners, and that God will deal with Christians who have let down their guard and let the world creep in.

          This blind man who was healed began to preach.  He said in John 9:31, “. . . if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.”  Some will cry out to God, and some will worship God, but there is another condition.  You must do His will. Jesus said in John 14:15, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

          Repentance is a powerful thing.  The Bible says that a broken and a contrite heart God will not despise.  He will not turn away from it.  The word contrite means “bruised”.  If we are not repentant, we cannot get to heaven.  God is near to all who are of a broken and contrite heart.  Tragedy comes to us from time to time to break our hearts.  It may break our hearts for somebody else, but generally He has to allow it to come to us personally, because that is when God is near.  When your heart is broken that is when you are sincere,

 

BROKEN

          Being contrite is not being melancholy.  God wants us to come to Him broken.  The only way that our nation will be healed is for it to be broken.  The only way that God will hear a sinner is for him to broken down.  The only way God will hear a Christian who has gone back from his first love is for him to repent.       

          Immediately after the tragedy of 911 we heard a lot from preachers about repentance.  Thank God that some of them are notifying the people that because of sin in the land our hedges are down.  The threat of Anthrax is now everywhere.  No one is exempt.  America has suddenly lost it’s sense of indestructibility; it’s invulnerability to judgment.  It is a tap on the shoulder that says, “Hey you, wake up!”  God is waiting to see what we will do with it. 

          The struggle within Chapter 9 in John was between a man who was truly repentant and the church at large who didn’t understand his miracle.  I tell you that we will not get miracles until we learn repentance, until we learn contrition, humility, and brokenness before God.  I have watched people saunter up to the alter chewing gum and cocking their head from side to side wanting God to do something for them!  I find that amazing. 

          I want you to search down deep into your soul now.  Have you ever tried to be sorry for something that you really weren’t?   We hear the term, and we chuckle at it, Excuse ME!  The words are spoken, but the heart is far from it. 

          That which is unclean cannot make itself clean without help from another which is greater.  We need help from one who is higher - Jesus.  I’m talking to the Christian today as much as I’m talking to the sinner and the backslider. 

          If we cannot come to a place of repentance, God is deaf to us.  The Pharisees prayed and fasted often, but Jesus said in Matthew 5:20, “For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”     

          Jesus opened the eyes of the blind man.  The man had not met Jesus as yet face to face with his new eyes.  Every time you want to thank and praise Jesus for what He has done in your life, you will run into some Pharisee or devil who will challenge you about seeking the Lord and about your humility.  The devil cannot understand brokenness because he has sealed his destiny.  Satan is proud, arrogant, selfish, and rebellious.  These are his traits, and human beings can take them on easily.

          Jesus said that the devils are judged already.  Jesus said in John 14:30, “Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.”  That is a terrifying thing for the Lord to say about a being, He cannot influence me, or He cannot move me. 

          There is a place when God gets fed up with things.  He told Jeremiah in Jeremiah 7:16, “Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.”

 

SIN IN THE CAMP 

            I was casting the devils out of woman, and I was having difficulty with one.  She had several powers within her that were operating her life.  She could not control herself.  Reason was there, but the rest of her body belonged to Satan, and she did whatever she had to do to please him, or he tormented her. 

          As I was casting the devils out of her she said, I can’t get rid of this alcohol, because I still lust for it.  I continued to pray and I asked, God, why is this so difficult?  He spoke to me that she would not totally yield over to Him.  She wanted to keep her lust spirit!  God told me to ask her about the man she was living with.  I thought, She is living with a man, and then comes to a minister to be delivered?

          I confronted her with this and she began to cry real tears.  She said, Oh, but I love it.  Just free me from my alcohol.  I said, So, in other words, you want God to selectively free you from the devils.  You want to be free from some devils, but keep some of them.  Is that correct?  She began to wail then.  It was confronting her.  Deliverance is not a pretty ministry, but it is the most desperately needed one in the church of Jesus Christ today! 

          I stood up over the woman and said, All or nothing.  You need to make up your mind.  She said, But, I love him.  I put on my coat and went home.  God is not going to take you partially.  God wants all of you, or He wants none of you

          Jesus said in Luke 11:23, “He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.” 

          He said in Matthew 10:33, “But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.”  He said that sin shall not enter in. 

          Joshua and all the children of Israel had won battle after battle going into the Promised Land.  The glorious victory of Jericho was still ringing in their ears, but they couldn’t overcome Ai.  They got down on their faces after being defeated and asked God why.  They knew God had called them to defeat them so they could enter in. 

          God spoke to them as they were seeking Him in brokenness, and God told Joshua that it was because there was sin in the camp.  Joshua 7:1 says that Achan, “. . . took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.”

          Joshua 7:24-25 says, “And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor. And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.”

          Achan had compromised their ability to fight.  He put holes in the hedge where the enemy could rout them out. They got rid of the sin, and Verse 26 says, “. . . So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. . . .”

           You need to read Psalm 78.  It talks about the children of Israel coming out of Egypt.  Psalm 78:30 says, “They were not estranged from their lust. . . .”  They were out of Egypt all right, but Egypt was still in them, and it was still troubling and tormenting them. 

          They saw God’s mighty miracles.  They saw the Egyptians destroyed by the hand of Almighty God.  They saw the clouds by day and the pillar of fire by night.  They heard the voice speak from the mountain, yet they were not estranged from their lust.  God gave them their desire for meat, but while the meat was yet in their mouth God smote them, even the chosen ones!

           People look with gloom at the end time plagues that have been prophesied, and they will come.  One instance is that one third of everything that breathes will die.  Think of the stench, the disease, and the horror!  Think of the absolutely inconsolable wailing. 

          However, all of that pales in comparison to what God says is happening in the Bride, His Church, who is supposed to hold the truth!  1 Timothy 4:1 says, “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;” 

          He says that this is what is perilous - 2 Timothy 3:1-7 says, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

          During perilous times some shall have a form of godliness, but they will deny the power thereof.  He said from such turn away, but people can’t stand to turn away.  They don’t want to stick out or be different.  We don’t want a reproach, but when Jesus hung on the cross of Calvary for you and for me, He bore reproach.

          God’s people were not estranged from their lust.  The word estranged is a word we use like divorced, but it literally means “to lose affection for”.  They were out of Egypt, but they hadn’t lost their affection for what Egypt could do for them, Egypt’s provision for them.

          Manna was anointed bread that came literally out of heaven that they gathered every morning and evening.  On Fridays they would gather it, and it would hold up until Sunday, because Saturday was their Sabbath.  They were supernaturally, every day, eating a miracle!  They were walking in a miracle, and yet they wanted the leeks and the onions of Egypt.  They got to the place where they even loathed this light bread.  They were tired of it, and they wanted a change. 

          Their heart was not mixed with faith.  Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”  The Word of God will not come nigh until we are in a place to where He can come nigh, and that is only through repentance.  Repentance is not just saying, I’m sorry enough times. 

          Psalm 53:2-3 says, “God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.  Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”

          In Ezekiel 22:30 God said, “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.”

          God is looking for someone, even as Daniel did for Israel, to stand in the gap in this day for America, but can He find somebody that means business with God?

          God wants us to seek Him, but many times God doesn’t fit in our schedule.  He tries to get our attention.  Job 33:19 says, “He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:”

          I have preached funerals for the young and the old, sinners and saints.  There are only two places you can go when you go into eternity.  You will go to heaven or to hell, and you are going there forever.  Repentance makes the difference in where you spend eternity.     

          The Lord said that repentance is the first step toward translation.  He said there is a transformation that comes upon a soul when they genuinely cry out to Him when He deals with them.  That is a key phrase, when they cry out to God.  He begins to work in their life, and that is the first step from being in the world to stepping into the kingdom of God. 

          Repentance is the first step, the first turning to translation, but He has called us to go on unto perfection.  Preachers who preach to you that you just squeak in are not doing you justice.  The first church was a glorious church.  The Apostles walked with Jesus.  Stephen was the first martyr because of his uncompromising message.  He looked into the heavens, and he saw the Son of man standing at the right hand of Almighty God.  His heart wasn’t earth bound anymore! 

          God heareth not sinners.  Why do Christians continue to retain their ability to sin?  Some even demand to keep their ability to sin and stay saved.

          Excuses like, Well, I’m not perfect, you know, or Well, I’m only human, don’t stand before God.  The standard is higher than what is being taught, preached, and exemplified by most Christians.

 

PRAYER

          2 Corinthians 6:17-18 says, “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”

           1 Peter 4:18 says, “And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?”  Children of God pray for sinners that God would deal with them, so they can cry out to God with a broken heart, with repentance, and be saved.  If it wasn’t for God sending His Son, man would have no hope whatsoever! 

          If we will not repent there is no hope!  Repenting before the Lord, staying until you have prayed through, staying until the burden is gone, staying until the joy comes, is absent from much of the church anymore.

          In Luke 19:46 Jesus said, “. . . It is written, My house is the house of prayer. . . .”  Many churches have become houses for entertainment, competition, gossip, worldliness, and lust.  An enemy has entered into the habitation of God.  Where God is supposed to be, the devil has moved in. 

          Look at the shape of the church in Jesus’ day.  The blind man had to tell the preachers that God heareth not sinners.  They were trying to tell him that Jesus was a Samaritan and had a devil. 

          In John 9:29 the Jews said, “We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.”  The blind man replied in Verse 30, “. . . Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.”  They thought they had “the goods”, but Jesus healed the blind man.

          We can’t have revival without repentance!  We can’t have safety in America, or in the church, or in your own home, from cancer, or disease, or attacks, or murder, or slaughter, or anything else, except there comes a repentance before God.  Then God will hear you and answer.

          We must get on our faces until God answers.  God says that He will give you the desire of your heart, but it will be His desire.  Some people won’t come to the Lord, because they are afraid He is going to do something with them, and they say, I can’t do that. 

          That is why it is so great to know that He is going to change you.  He is going to do something supernatural in you.  Then you will love everybody, pray for everybody, believe Him for anything, and then miracles will happen.  It won’t happen until the hardness of our hearts is broken, and our priorities are not the things of this world. 

          Don’t wait until your finances are straight and your body is well before you seek God!  (See Matthew 6:33.)

          Isaiah 55:6 says, “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:”  That tells me that He can’t always be found, and He is not always near.  We need to get desperate before God. 

 

MORE THAN AIR

          I heard a story about an old preacher and a young boy who wanted to be in the ministry.  The preacher said, We will find out if you want to be in the ministry.  He said, All right.  How do we do that?  The preacher said, After church we are going to the creek.  When they got to the creek the preacher grabbed him and shoved his head under the water.  He held it there until the boy began to kick!  Bubbles got fewer and fewer, and finally he picked him up.  The boy was coughing and choking, but he turned to the old preacher and asked him what he was trying to do!  The preacher said, What was the main thing on your mind all the time you were under that water?  The boy said, I wanted air!  The preacher said, When you want Jesus that bad, you can be a preacher! 

 

FORGIVE

          Most people don’t want Jesus as bad as they want their own way!  Some even find scripture to help them have their way.  That is not repentance, nor is it Christianity.  We must be estranged from what we have been.  You can’t blame mama, daddy, grandma, hypocrites, or anybody else.  The devil blames everyone else; he says he is never at fault.  That is what an unrepentant sinner does.  They blame everybody else. 

          Do you know down in your heart that everything is right before God?  Someone may have had a part in your sin, but they don’t make you keep the sin.  You have to repent, and you have to forgive.  Just open yourself up and let it go.  Jesus said in Matthew 6:15, “But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

          Years ago in my study, I brushed against one of the guards of an old Florence wood stove.  I had it fired up with some ash wood, and I was in there studying my Bible.  My study used to be an old summer kitchen right next to our 100 year old house.  I can get out there and whatever God does to me doesn’t bother anybody else in the house. 

          As I felt the heat of the stove guard, I got to thinking about the martyrs of the Lord, and about how they were burned at the stake.  I thought about how they turned their faces to God, and their limbs fell off, and yet they praised the Lord.  Witnesses saw these things.  You can read about it in “The Foxes Book of Martyrs”.  There are two very thick books in fine print.  If you read them, you should never complain again.

          We read in the Word of God about how men and women hazarded their lives for Jesus.  They loved not their lives unto death.  Following Jesus was more important to them than worldly pleasures and their own plans for their lives.

          God’s plan is better than ours.  We have things we want to do, places we want to go, and people we want to be with!  Some people want to earn a million dollars, own their own home, be a scholar, or marry a certain person.  However, the plan of God is glorious, and it’s not one that you would be bored with or unhappy with. 

          I thought about those martyrs, and the people who died just to get the Word of God to us.  They were convinced that it was the truth, and that the truth would make men free.  They had a calling from God, their heavenly Father.  You have to be convinced.  You have to be fully persuaded.  It isn’t a whim or an intellectual thing. 

Whenever you commit your mind, body, soul, and spirit to it, you know that you know.

 

LISTEN TO GOD AND OBEY HIM

          The intellectual Pharisees were arguing.  They didn’t understand how the blind man could be healed.  They could have said that miracles passed away with the prophets, or that God didn’t do miracles anymore.

          The Bible says that the power of God is still operational, because it says in Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”  God still does what His Word says He will do, and He still has a calling for His people.  It hasn’t changed!     

          A lady who was going through a divorce came to me for counseling.  I said, Didn’t you ask me this two weeks ago?  She said, Yeah.  I said, Ok, so, what did I tell you then?  She repeated it.  She knew what to do.  I said, Well, alright, then do it!  It was the same today as it was two weeks ago! 

          The counsel, the admonition, the warning, the blessing, and the promises of Almighty God are the same today as they were two thousand years ago!  They are still fresh and available, because our God is the same God that He was then!  Malachi 3:6 says, “For I am the LORD, I change not. . . .”

 

TURNING 

          Have you ever been truly sorry for something?  Are you truly sorry for it today?  I’m not talking about just saying, “That is a regrettable incident.”  Repentance is not being sorry only.  Repentance is being sorry and doing something about it.  The Lord began to show me that repentance was a turning.  We are going in one direction, and full repentance is turning a complete 180 degrees.  He showed me that many people are not on a 180, but a 45, or a 90, or a 70, or a 120 degree turn.  He said, “Few have gone to 180.” 

          Some have turned and maybe have looked in that direction, but they haven’t made full repentance.  Have you noticed that you can’t walk backwards but so long?  You sure can’t run the race backwards or in a half turn position.  You will fall down and lose out all together.  You have to be fully turned toward God to run the race and win. 

 

LAY YOUR LIFE DOWN

          We don’t seem to understand the word repentance.  It isn’t confession only.  It is getting down and letting God bruise you and break you to where there is nothing alive in you to rise up and do it again.  If it isn’t broken, you have strength to rise up and do it again.  In John 10:17-18 Jesus said, “Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.  No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.”

          It takes power to lay your life down as surely as it takes power to raise it up again.  You must break the power that is working in your life so that you will never rise again, but Jesus Christ will rise up in you.  There must be brokenness of self, crumbling, and destruction.  You can’t serve God and the world.         

          A double-minded person is unstable in all of his ways.  A double-minded person classifies most Christians.  The world is not double-minded; they serve the devil fully.  As a Christian, you have the mind of Christ and your own mind.  You need to be crucified and let God’s power come upon you to destroy your old nature that draws you back into sin.  Let the Spirit of God destroy your desire for sin! 

          If you TURN to the Lord He will give you power to lay your life down.  Jesus didn’t come to send peace in your sin.  He brought the Word, a Sword to sever you, to cut you off from every entanglement of this world.  He wants to cut off every umbilical cord that you have been linked with from your birth to this moment so you won’t become re-attached.

 

DON’T QUIT

          Too many people quit before it is fulfilled.  On the cross Jesus said, “It is finished.”  Jesus prayed it through for you and me.  Isaiah 53:5 says, “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”

          All we have to do is enter into the same door, and meet with Jesus, and the world will have no more part in our lives.  However, we are in the day of the great falling away and great delusion. 

          Psalms 78:30-33 says, “They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.  For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.  Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.”

          You talk about wasted time!  They consumed their days in vain activities that didn’t profit.  That is a tragedy.  Psalms 78:34-35 says, “When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God.  And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.”  That sounds like revival!  Hallelujah! 

          Psalms 78:36-37 says, “Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.  For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.”

 

DELIVERANCE

          I have seen people get just enough relief to go out and have strength to sin again!  God does not heal you so you can continue to live in sin.  We need revival, but there must be repentance.  We need to get down before the Lord and say, Lord, have mercy upon me a sinner.  Have mercy upon me a backslider.  Have mercy upon me Lord, where I have let the world in and its priorities. 

          Mark 4:19 says, “And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.”  He is talking about Christians, because the world doesn’t have the Word planted in them. 

          The unprofitable servant is the same as the lukewarm servant and has the same destination as the unbeliever.  A Christian can backslide and go to hell.  A sinner has to go where the devil leads him, which is hell.  Hypocrites go to hell.  Christianity is not automatic.  We have to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling (see Philippians 2:12).

 

FOLLOW JESUS

          Follow the Lord Jesus.  Read the Bible and pray.  Be filled with the Holy Ghost!  Pray in the Spirit after that.  We need to walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

          God can do anything, and He wants to do it with you and me.  The only way that we can come into the place of power with God is to repent.  You can’t be in two places at once.  We have to come out from the world.  We have to come out from our coldness and indifference.

          Commitment is at an all time low, and that makes people aggravated at one another.  Our nation is under attack.  Did anybody notice what happened to the Twin Towers?  Nevada and Florida have had people die from anthrax that was spread through letters.  All they would have to do is throw some of that into our water supply and hundreds or maybe millions of people will die.

          Some people will not be on the alert, and in a few hours they will drop dead.  Should we not be in prayer?  Should we not be repentant?  Learn to depend upon the One who saved you by His grace, Who shed His blood for you, and Who is sitting on the right hand of God making intercession for you. 

          We have to turn around.  Have you ever been truly sorry for something?  Did you quit sinning?  You can pray until all power to lay your life down is given to you; then you can quit.  You do not have to sin.  Christians are NOT supposed to be sinners.  God hears people who love Him and obey Him.  If you haven’t arrived into the place of perfection yet, how can you get God to hear you? 

          1 John 2:1 says, “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:”  

          Ask God to forgive you.  If you continually ask Him about the same thing over, and over, and over, there is dominance in your life that must be broken.  You need to fast, and pray, and seek God until God answers and removes it!  

          We can’t get to God without repentance. God’s Word still simply and powerfully says in Mark 1:15, “. . . repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
