What Is True Repentance? Do you know the difference between guilt, remorse, regret, and repentance?

GUILT is a prison that will keep you in perpetual bondage. It is a weapon used by the enemy to keep you from receiving God’s mercy and forgiveness.

REMORSE keeps you in endless sorrow and suffering. It inhibits your ability to move on due to the hurt you have caused someone. It is also a weapon of the enemy.

REGRET is self pity that focuses on your loss rather than the loss caused to others or to God’s heart. Yet another tactic used by the devil to keep you from God’s blessings.

REPENTANCE on the other hand, is a quality decision to CHANGE! Genuine repentance happens in a person’s heart and mind. The Holy Spirit releases His power to effect change in your life that leads you to freedom. Praise God!
