Word Tremblers 

“REPENT for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!” Mathew 3: 2

Repent here means to think differently or afterword or to reconsider. But that is not all it means. It also means to morally feel COMPUNCTION. 

Compunction is a word we do not hear very often anymore. In the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary it means a PRICKLING of heart; POIGNANT GRIEF or REMORSE proceeding from a consciousness of guilt; the PAIN of SORROW or REGRET of having offended God, and incurred His wrath; the STING of conscience proceeding from a conviction of having violated a moral duty. 

The next time that you repent from the heart about a sin, iniquity or transgression take a moment to let yourself feel the sting of hurting God before blurting out a quick,”sorry.” When I used to make my children apologize to one another sometimes they would say it so quickly and non-feeling that I couldn’t even tell what they said. It would come out like, “sosogohhhrry.” In this day and age there is a popular misconception about repentance because of God’s abundant grace and mercy.

We must get back to honoring God with the fear of the Lord, which is having a reverential fear and awe of God. We must be ones who TREMBLE at His word. I. have many teachings on this subject that I will share very soon. God is looking for Word Tremblers! Let us make sure that we tremble at the Word of the Lord!

Isaiah 66:2 “For all those things My hand has made, and all those things exist,” Says the Lord. “But on this one will I look: on him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and WHO TREMBLES AT MY WORD.”
