There are two knowings within us. The one is the knowing of the Spirit, the other is the knowing formed in the crucible of our own experience and the whisper of the father of lies. The witness of the Spirit gives us a divine basis, within our own darkness, for repentance and new faith, which leads into liberation and life. Repentance is a radical recasting of our minds, a deep and wide and fundamental change in the way we think and see and understand. It is nothing short of a revolution in the way we see God, ourselves, others, and life itself. The Spirit’s witness forms a new knowing within us, creating a suspicion that we may be blind as bats and dead wrong about God, and giving us permission within our own souls to believe in the goodness of Jesus’ Father against our own prejudices and mythology. “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind” “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” C. Baxter Kruger
