True Repentance...

When she heard the Good News, she responded, “Yes, I believe, and want to follow God.” When the two people who shared with her talked about change and repentance, she wanted to take down her family altar that is used to worship the ancestors and other spirits. This is a major cultural shift and a true sign of repentance. The gospel of Jesus Christ transcends all rituals, cultures, and cultural traditions. Pray for this lady and others like her who choose to return to God in a restored relationship through Jesus Christ. Pray for the discipleship process that follows. Pray for their perseverance in the face of ridicule and persecution that comes from family and others. Praise God for changed lives.
