REPENT
Recentering Jesus is to come back to self.
When you come back to self, you are able to be present. Once you become present, you are able to acknowledge that you are merely a mortal and bound to sin. Once you acknowledge you are bound to sin, you then realize how important it is to seek Christ. Salvation is a gift given to the world to save the world- that by believing in Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and that He died as a living sacrifice for our sins, that we are cleansed by the blood.
Steps I took to Come Back to Christ:
DENY FLESH AND REPENT
Joel 2:12
Fasting. Bruising your flesh temporarily reminds it that it has no dominion over your soul and personal connection with God.
CUT OFF SINFUL NATURE
Matthew 5:29-30
Acknowledging what causes you to sin. Noticing what distances you from God.
FORGIVENESS
Ephesians 4:32
“We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” It’s not them, it’s a spirit. Have grace and forgive. Jesus is an amazing model for this practice - Luke 23:34
RENEW THE HEART
Proverbs 4:23
Watching what I think, feel, and allow into my heart.
Ezekiel 36:26
Becoming more like Jesus (AKA The beest role-model eVER!)
PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD
Ephesians 6:10-18
Once you are suited up, you will be able to fight off temptations, evil desires, and spiritual warfare.
