Voice Of Prophecy

H.M.S. Richards

Repentance and Conversion Necessary

Brethren, we have met to worship and adore the Lord our God.

Will you pray with all your power While we try to preach the word, All is vain unless the spirit of the Holy 1 comes down.

Brethren, pray and holy fetal will be showered all around.

Brethren, see poor sinners round you, trembling on the brink of woe.

Death is coming, hell is moving, can you bear to let them go.

See our fathers, see our mothers, and our children sinking down.

Brethren, pray and holy manna will be showered all around.

Is there here a trembling jailer seeking grace and filled with fears?

We're here a-weeping, Mary, Pouring for the blood of Jesus.

Pray, oh pray, that holy manna May be scattered all around.

We're happy to be with you for this worship service.

We hope it will bring to you the encouragement and the strength that you'll need for this coming week.

Here now is my father with the special message from God's Word.

1 afternoon soon after the day of Pentecost, the Apostles Peter and John attended a prayer service at the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

As they started to go through the gate called Beautiful, they saw a lame man lying there who had never walked in his life.

His family brought him every day, laid him there at the gate, hoping he might receive some little gift from the worshippers.

The man looked at the Apostles, asked an alms.

It was customary for those who attended the temple to give to the service of God or to the poor or to both.

And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

When Peter said, Look on us, the layman did so.

Then the apostle added, Silver and gold have I none, But such as I have, give I unto thee.

In the name of Jesus Christ, rise up and walk.

Taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up.

Soon he walked, entered into the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

When the people saw it, they were all filled with wonder.

They ran together, an excited crowd, amazed at this display of divine power.

They gazed with astonishment upon the Apostles, as if they by their own power had performed this miracle.

All the people around about learned of it.

The Apostle Peter took advantage of the audience, declared that this miracle had been accomplished through Jesus, the Prince of Life, whom these very people had delivered up to be crucified and whom God had raised from the dead.

It was through his name that this lame man had been made whole.

It was through his power that he was able to leap and walk and try out his newfound strength.

The Apostle assured his listeners that although it was a terrible sin to put to death the Prince of Life.

Though they had put the Son of God to death, the Apostle comforted them by saying, Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you, whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets, since the world began.

3 Acts 19 Notice the successive steps which must be taken to reach the Kingdom of God.

Then conversion, the blotting out of sins, the times of refreshing, the appearance of Christ Jesus, and last, the restitution of all things.

While man here in his physical life is a unit, yet according to scripture he possesses a threefold nature, spirit, soul, body.

In this all-wise arrangement of the divine Creator, it is necessary to nourish all 3 of these natures, or they will not properly develop and live.

To sustain the physical nature, we must have proper elements of nourishment, not only water and air, but food, grains, nuts, vegetables, etc.

That is what God planned in the beginning.

Dependent upon the physical nature of man but superior to it is his mental nature, his intelligence.

Psychology, the youngest of the sciences, is just beginning to discover some of the wonders of man's mind.

There would be no civilization on earth, no planning, no building, no planting, nothing would be done without a mental life, without intelligence.

And so man must sustain by reading, by study, by proper association.

These things are all food for the intellect, the beauties of philosophy, the accomplishments of science, the modern exploration of the voids of space.

But beyond and above the physical and mental natures of man is the spiritual which can thrive only on spiritual things.

Its food is the word of God and the instruction of the Holy Spirit.

1 reason why so much of the spiritual life of today is shallow, undeveloped, is that people do not feed on the Holy Scriptures, they neglect prayer, do not exercise Christian faith.

Sin has blackened and blighted mankind in every phase of life.

The nature of man has been darkened spiritually, marred mentally, lowered physically.

In order to remove this stain, God has ordained that man should repent, be converted, his sins blotted out.

There should be a great spiritual refreshing from heaven, that when Christ, the Son of Man, returns to this earth in power, there should be a restitution of all things as in the Eden day of man's beginning.

We repent first by manifesting a godly sorrow for our sins.

We must really be convicted that we have done wrong.

Not only regret, but know and feel that we have sinned against God and against man, that we have transgressed the holy law of heaven.

Second, we must confess these sins to God, whose law we have transgressed, for sin is the transgression of the law, we read in 1 John 3, 4.

And further, we must confess our faults to any person who has knowingly been wronged by us.

So we see that repentance means a real sorrow for sin, not merely a sorrow for the evil results to us, but sorrow for the thing itself, sorrow that we have grieved the heart of God by disobeying Him.

We must have an earnest desire to be cleansed from sin.

It comes as a result of the conviction of the Holy Spirit in the heart.

In fact, it is the gift of God, for it is the goodness of God that leadeth thee to repentance, we read in Romans 2.4.

The Apostle Peter declared that God exalted Jesus with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior for to give repentance and forgiveness of sins.

What we need for a new life today is repentance.

We need to repent and do the first works as we read in Revelation 2.5.

We need a real repentance and the only way we can tell that our repentance is real is when we bring forth fruits proper for repentance.

Tennyson said that few of us repent because few of us are willing to make a radical change in our habits of living.

He expressed it this way, the world will not believe a man repents.

Full seldom doth a man repent or use both grace and will to pick the vicious quench of blood and custom holy out of him, and make all clean, and plant himself afresh?

That's what we need, planting ourselves afresh, true repentance, changing from the old life to the new, from our sin to God's righteousness, and all through faith in Christ.

Jesus said, Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Now, Friends, the evidences of genuine repentance are true humility, faith, prayer, obedience.
