Why does the heavenly Father wait so long? Have not the sins been piling up? Could he not have acted long ago? Yet, he waits and waits with great patience, always giving time to repent. Repentance is needed now but people do not know what the word means. It has been stricken from their vocabulary and is now an unknown topic.

Formerly preachers would say “repent” and people would understand what to do. Now, they do not even know what is needed. So, I will give a simple and clear teaching. Repentance is the only way to avoid the wrath to come. The Father has delayed and delayed, hoping to see some signs of repentance. I will explain what everyone can do to repent.

Repentance means to acknowledge your sins, to realize where you have failed, and what obligations you have not fulfilled. You cannot see all of these at once. Some become visible only as you go higher. So, begin with the most obvious. This is how.

Ask yourself the question. If I were to come before God right now, if I were to die today and face his judgment, what would I have wanted to change? Just answer that question. Do not ask other questions. Just that one. Keep asking it until it is as clear as the noonday sun. If I were to die right now, what would I repent of most? Keep asking this until the answer comes.

When it comes, then begin. Make a resolution. Hold yourself to it. Ask what helps you need. Whom can you talk to? Even tell another, someone who will affirm your repentance.

Repentance is a gigantic door. I wait on the other side, holding in my hands all the gifts you need. Open the door of repentance. You have entered God’s house.
