How to Get Closer to God: Part III
The Revelation of Repentance Prayer
Hello, my friend. We made it. I know it’s been a lot, this series, but I’m so glad you’re still here. Seriously. It takes a lot of courage to know that you’ve got to bow down and let the Elohim be the Elohim in a world that shames you for even thinking that you’re not perfect living your “authentic self.” The majority of the time, our authentic selves are full of it, and deep down you knew you were guided to this series because God needed you to be put in your place to hear Him clearly.
Speaking of series, this is the scripture we’ve been focusing on:
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Matthew 13:20-21 KJV
In Part I, which you can read here, we learned how to identify what holds us back from desiring to give our lives completely to just Yah. In Part II, we learned where in the Word Yah promised us victory over an unwillingness to submit to Him. Now we’re in Part III, and we’re headed into repentance. This is the dream, bestie. This is where everything really starts working out for you. It’s the humility, it’s the setting self aside, and it’s the submission to a great and wondrous God that is the beginning of all things. And before we dive into this prayer, I have a bit of a testimony to share.
If you’re ready, my friend, let’s begin.
When You Know What Is in Your Family History, You Can Decide Your Family’s Future
I know where you’ve been because I was called to be a hereditary witch by hell. My big momma, or my great grandmother on my father’s side, was a voodoo priestess who I loved dearly. Little did I know, because of the anointing on my life by God, I had the gifting satan could manipulate to serve him as a medium or diviner.
I didn’t know it at the time, but she had intel from hell, so she favored me over her other grandchild. She used them by draining them of resources like hair, peace, and joy to perform her seances. I only saw this once, and didn’t understand. I was little. But hell told her to choose me as her successor, and by choosing me, I was to be seduced with love and kindness and care to summon up some sort of devotion to her. Devotion… instead of the fear, abuse, and manipulation my cousin endured.
My mother had asked for one thing for me when she died and Big Momma agreed. It was her hope chest, a beautiful antique that my great-grandmother agreed to give her for me. What she didn’t know, my mother, is that Big Momma filled the chest with all of her tools and witchy essentials as she neared death: her book of shadows, any athames she may have had, you get the point. All these things were put into the chest with instruction in preparation. God saw this, and stepped in the way.
Because of the nature of my father’s side of my family, before it could get to me, His providence stepped in and my family stole it from where it was stored for safe keeping for me. They thought there was money in it that they felt entitled too (which there wasn’t a dime), and instead ran off with the accursed objects for themselves. Bless their hearts.
I needed to preface with this because just like Yahweh has plans for you, plans to prosper you (Jeremiah 29:11 KJV), satan would like to destroy those plans any way possible. He wants to use any sin or any covenants made with family members in your bloodline to secure your bloodline in darkness. Big Momma was in covenant with hell, and when the conditions of the power and territory she’d acquired settled on me, I became more inclined to want to read books on witchcraft, Harry Potter and other fantasy series included. I was obsessed with sneaking to see birth charts and new age shops intrigued me. My friends were the same, though many professing Christians. We made excuses for horoscopes, my father saw no problem with introducing me to the Chinese zodiac, and I had a thing with dragons… eventually leading to me getting one tattooed on my body.
I needed deliverance from the demonic mantle calling me on my father’s bloodline and didn’t even know it. My Big Momma had worked blood magic and sacrificed even her own family members for power. I was being called to divine.
It wasn’t until I met a witch I became internet friends with that I had to choose.
WHEN ENTERING A SEASON OF REPENTANCE, YOU CAN’T BACK DOWN WHEN HELL RETALIATES AGAINST YOU
It wasn’t until I met a witch I became internet friends with that I had to choose, for real. She’d been assigned to me to get me to cross over completely in a season Yahuah was calling me to submit completely to His Word. There’d been a fight over my soul for decades, and being caught in the crosshairs, Yahweh was opening my eyes to what had really been going on in my life. This “friend” I’d made would speak over me that I was a witch almost every time I talked to her. It was our “joke.” We became really good friends, she and I, but… I couldn’t bring myself to ever confess out of my mouth that I was a witch. I just couldn’t. It didn’t settle well with me and I feared what it would mean if I spoke that over myself when I heard Father Yah calling me audibly. After convincing me a pack of angel cards wasn’t bad, but included God in my learning, I bought a pack and not soon after, I smelled my grandmother’s signature fragrance walk by me and felt her presence.
Now let me be clear: it wasn’t her. It was a demon sent to confuse me and manipulate me emotionally. The dead don’t walk, my friend. It’s not your people visiting you when you have these supernatural experiences, I promiseeee you. But in that moment, I believed her spirit was with me and was leading me and had come to let me know everything was okay. I’d loved her, you see. With my whole chest, I’d loved that woman dearly. And so I felt calm about dabbling into divination, using the excuses that witch gave me to clear my conscious and ignore Yah. I was led into the law of attraction, astrology, crystal work, and using angel cards (or tarot, let’s call it what it is) for about six months.
It wasn’t until Yah blindsided me and gave me the opportunity of a lifetime, the thing that I’d prayed for in church for years— to meet the miracle God of the Bible today in modern time —that I dropped everything and chose Him completely. That was it, it was all I needed to go full throttle after Him, period. And in doing that, when I repented for the witchcraft, this spirit came off of me that felt like a demon had been hovering over me and holding me down like gravity. I felt lighter, and my eyes were opened to more things immediately.
YOU CANNOT BE AFRAID AND ALLOW HELL TO INTIMIDATE YOU OUT OF YOUR DELIVERANCE
I cut her off, that friend, and the dreams I had and spiritual warfare I faced was insane, friend. Astral projections, hounds of hell being sent to choke me in my sleep. I needed to be prayed up and continue repenting through all of it, and that’s what I did. The attacks stopped almost immediately when I dug my heels into prayer and fasting and kept submitting myself to Yah’s required repentance period for me. He required it. We spoke about this in Part II of this series:
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV
This was it, bestie, this is what I refused to give up on. This promise right here, and as I cried out, He heard me. He was there the whole time, and I prayed a prayer like the one I’m about to share with you to be set free. I’m gonna be real with you, though: I didn’t stop repenting until Yah moved and heard me, and released me from the consequences of my sin, the demonic oppression.
Now witches don’t want anything to do with me 99.9% of the time when I’m out and about. This is a SEVERE change from how it used to me for me. I’d had witch radar whenever I was out and was like a magnet for them. We’d be friends within five minutes after a chat and a coffee, I’m serious. They were assigned and activated around me to secure the bloodline, you’ve got to understand this, bestie. This is serious. But after repentance? After repentance, my friend, it was a 180º. Spiritual books no longer called to me like they’d used to. It would be like this siren song they’d sing that I’d hear that when I entered rooms or bookstores they occupied, I’d have this incredible desire to own them. Like I was being summoned to where they were in the store. I’m. So. Serious. (And someone reading this knows exactly what I mean.) I’d resisted owning a few of them for years, but I’d… at least want to touch them or look at them. I couldn’t help myself, I’d be hypnotized in their presence.
These things or even types of people I’d once attracted have ceased their attempts to lure me like they once did. They hide from me now, or go missing when I enter rooms, so they’re not cast out or burned. They know and recognize that I am a Child of Yah who isn’t interested in playing their games anymore. When you walk in authority of who you are in Yahusha, be prepared for the responsibility that comes with that, and that responsibility includes separating yourself from what God calls wicked, and not what you think should be called good or bad. There is no white magic or black magic, no good witch or bad witch. It’s a lie. It’s witchcraft, plain and simple, all of it, and what’s witchcraft is sent from hell to take you straight to it.
TRUST THAT YAH WANTS HIS WORD TO BEAR FRUIT IN YOU, AND THAT WITH A HUMBLE HEART, YOU CAN RECEIVE WHAT HE HAS FOR YOU
This prayer is for you, bestie, and I pray that you seek Yahuah on any other resources you may need as you answer this call into a season of repentance prayer with Him. Because remember, this was a whole season for me. This wasn’t a one and done deal, I was on my face for about four months repenting. And it didn’t stop there once I got up. It just got deeper into the things of Him. So I tell you, in all seriousness: do not play with the Most High in this season. Take Him at His Word. He keeps it, He honors it, and He sure as the sun rises in the east won’t allow any of His Words to return to Him without performing what He said (Isaiah 55:11 NIV).
It’s my prayer that anything that may be keeping you separated and actively not desiring to give your whole self to Him fully dies in your life today. That this is the end of you neither being lukewarm in your faith, but that you are sure about choosing the One True Yah as your Lord over all else.
THE PRAYER
I, [insert your name here], by the authority given to me by my Lord and savior Jesus Christ, ask for Your forgiveness and mercy as I approach You Almighty God. For only those who come before You in His name have access to You, Lord. So it is by this name that I ask You forgive me, Lord, for a prideful heart and a stiff neck against Your precepts and commandments.
Have mercy on me, Lord, have mercy on me, Father. I lay my life down before You willing to release any and all things in my life not pleasing to You. Reveal to me, Father, anything hindering me and my bloodline from serving you in all truth. Hide nothing from me You require me to release and turn away from. Show me in Your Word how I must walk and how You want me to serve you. Forgive me and mold me into the vessel You can use to pour Yourself into and complete Your will for my life. Help me, Lord, by removing any hindering spirits hiding in relationships, habits, or even careers. Help me, Lord, to see You in all the changes You’re gonna guide me through as I dedicate my life completely to you.
You said, Lord, that if we should, being called by Your name, humble ourselves and pray and seek your face and turn from our wicked ways, You will hear from heaven, and I ask You, Lord, to hear me and heal my land. Remove from me the desire for things that have no part in the kingdom of God, and replace it with a desire for You as I submit to You. In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray Lord, amen.
In Review
I hope that this is only the beginning of your ability to really step into the season of repentance He’s calling you into.
For all you note takers, here’s our recap with the essence of these posts:
Identifying the sin holding you back from desiring to give your life completely to Yah is important, as you may be dealing with spiritual blockage that is dulling your ears to be able to hear Yahuah calling you into deeper intimacy with Him. To dive deeper into the things of Him, He requires to be the only judge in your life.
You have victory over the unwillingness to submit your life to Father Yah completely with humility. Humility will overcome the spirit of pride attempting to lead you to serve and worship satan and have the same end he has: a fall from heaven and out of the presence of Almighty Yah. By humbling yourself, seeking His face, turning from sin, and praying with a repentant heart, you will not only be forgiven, but He will heal your heart and your circumstances.
Repentance prayer is the key for the Elohim to move in your situation and remove from your life any generational curses and bondages, any affiliations your family had with darkness. You can only be set free from spiritual warfare from hell in the name of Yahusha HaMashiach, and using that name when repenting and asking God for forgiveness is the only way He will hear you and be moved to change your situation. It takes reminding Him of His Word and His covenant to be heard and for Yahweh to invade your circumstances.
REPENTANCE PRAYER IS A LIFESTYLE, NOT A ONE TIME GIG
It’s your season with the LORD, my friend. I just know it is because He’s guided you here. I pray that you don’t turn away from this divine opportunity to really get to know the Elohim of the Bible like I did. I mean it, it’s so wonderful. For years, I was excluded in churches when I asked where was the God of David or the God of Jacob, the Yahweh who performed miracles that spread the Red Sea in two. I wanted to know that Ancient One of Days and He revealed Himself to me when I was in a whole mess. Not when I looked obedient in church. Not when I was in youth groups or going to church functions. No, He revealed that side of Himself when I was in full demonic regalia, so you are not too far down for Him to show you who He is either.
Let Him show you the way and stop deciding your “authentic self” knows best, or that you can handle this world if you manifest more or you think positively throughout your day to attract more positive outcomes and opportunities. That mess is trash, bestie, and it’ll lead you straight to hell with all the self-help gurus pushing you to focus on self instead of Him.
Much love.
