Summary: God is High and lofty, yet we have brought him to our human or low view by using our human knowledge, wisdom and understanding to know God. When we use human wisdom or knowledge to understand, see, and know God without the help of Holy Spirit, we see a low view of God.

1) Repent of our low view of God – God is High and lofty, yet we have brought him to our human or low view by using our human knowledge, wisdom and understanding to know God. When we use human wisdom or knowledge to understand, see, and know God without the help of Holy Spirit, we see a low view of God. A low view of God is very dangerous and this can be clearly seen by our lack of fear of God and reverence for God. A low view of God can be clearly seen in our prayers. We always expect God to do something more and we don’t revere or respect God for who He is and what He has already done on the Cross. A person who is on a journey to know the lofty God, His joy and praise will be raise up looking at the finished work of the Cross and is not dependent on worldly blessings or favours. Eternity and Eternal blessing will get hold of a person who is on journey to know a high and lofty God.

2) Repent of any prayers we have prayed that are not in God’s will – Prayers that we have prayed which are not in God’s will hurt God. When we pray prayers which are not in God’s will, we are forcibly asking God to do something He does not want to do. Many people are praying prayers that are not in God’s will by which they enter into seasons of spiritual dryness. When we pray something that is not in God’s will for years, we are indirectly expanding Satan’s empire.

3) Repent of mere words – Words that do not originate from the heart. Words that come from our tongue but do not come from our hearts are mere words. Let our words be reflection of our heart. Allow our words to reflect our hearts. Even while talking, whether pleasant or terrible words, let our words come from the heart. There should be no dual words – one that the heart thinks and one that comes out of the mouth. Let no words to impress come out of the tongue to impress people while the heart thinks otherwise. Let your mouth and heart be always in sync and speak the same word.

4) Repent for our lack of meditation on God – Most Christians don’t understand the difference between prayer and meditation. Praying for prayer requests is not meditation; but spending time to learn and know more about God and contemplating His attributes such as mercy and goodness is meditation. May my meditation be sweet to you, says the psalmist. He’s already one step ahead – He prays and meditates and then asks God if His meditation is pleasing or sweet to him. Have we ever considered or thought whether our prayers or meditations are pleasing or sweet to him?

5) Repent of our lack of spiritual sensitivity to God’s word and situations around us – We claim to be spirit-filled people, but we lack spiritual sensitivity to God’s word. Our hearts have become like stones and do not respond to God’s word, when we read or hear God’s word. Our hearts are not sensitive to our own sins and sins of others.

6) Repent of losing our Childlike innocence to quickly repent and believe in God’s word – Many Christians have lost their Childlike innocence during the course of their Christian lives. They gained a lot of doctrinal knowledge over the years, but they lost their child like innocence to quickly repent, forgive others, believe God and His word.

7) Repent of our doubts in believing God’s promises and word – So many times, despite God speaking directly to us through His word or His Spirit or His voice, or a dream or vision, we still have doubted God’s promises and word. Rather than taking a leap of faith, we have doubted God’s promise or purpose.

8) Repent of missing God’s seasons – Many Christians have missed God’s timing or seasons in their lives due to ignorance or negligence in perceiving God’s season. They have not aligned themselves in accordance with God’s seasons. Most of the time, they were completely unaware about God’s present season.They don’t realign themselves when God’s seasons change. They always pray the same prayers every season. Each season has its own set of God-directed prayers and provisions. God works according to His divine seasons. We must align ourselves with the divine seasons of God.

9) Repent of hindering your spiritual walk when there are no external physical blessings – Many Christians have linked their spiritual walk with external blessings. When they do not see external blessings, they themselves have stopped or hindered their spiritual walk with God. Don’t mix your spiritual walk with external physical blessings. God has promised us divine blessings, which may or may not manifest in external blessings. Don’t measure your spiritual walk with God based on your external blessings.
