REPENT/TOTALLY TURNED AROUND

2 Peter 3:8-9 (KJV)
“8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
Besides being born with sin nature inherited from Adam, cannot imagine also, being born with predisposed desires and feelings inherited from generational curses visiting children ten and fifteen generations later; people born with desires inordinate and unnatural to their physical design. Yes people are infected, affected, and influenced even beyond this; it is a living emotional hell.
Biased to explain with the intent to justify these inherited predispositions, philosophy, psychology, and even theological perceptions tend to work against the broken, the inheritors of sin nature and generational curses embedded in their DNA. We wonder why Jesus blood was spilt for us. His blood with a heavenly DNA was shed to untwist twisted philosophy, twisted psychology, and twisted theology.
When Jesus’ DNA is spiritually injected into ours it brings about a reaction to all these predispositions. Regardless of our predispositions, God’s predetermined will calls us to repentance. Through the power of His shed blood and broken body we can change what we were born with. It is when our mind and heart lines up with the bread and the wine that His sacrifice genuinely works into us the culture of heaven against the culture of this world predisposed in our birth.
Can things change? Yes, no matter how twisted they are. We must prepare our heart and our mind; this world will not and cannot agree with us when we decide to accept God’s predetermined will above our inherited predispositions. Jesus said, except you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life in you. Are we really ready for this DNA shake? My heart is broken for all the broken; the word repentance is not judgment it is a gift from God to change.
