The Intended Purpose Of Conviction Is Repentance

 But Jesus said, “Someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me.” [Luke 8.46]

You know, I just wondered today that, if Jesus felt healing power go out from Him, could He feel it when it came into Him?

Regardless, I don't know that I've ever experienced this "feeling" myself. I guess that would be no real problem except for the fact that Jesus is my example how to live and walk on this earth in Kingdim authority.

And while I have mentioned "Kingdom authority" here, I suppose no one has ever recognized that in my life either (as it was recorded that people revognized "such authority" in Jesus).

So, what is the problem with me?

It is one and the same problem for which Jesus scolded His disciples in the boat on the lake in the storm - their lack of faith.

Reader, don't assume that I am in condemnation about this! I am not! However, I am very much under conviction about it as I should be. I am growing in my Kingdom journey and, as we all should be, experiencing daily conviction about the lack of faith EVIDENT IN MY LIFE! That is all part of Christian growth. I welcome His conviction because I want to change!

And what is the intended purpose of His conviction? REPENTANCE!

Father, pkease forgive me for the evident lack of faith in my life. Thank You for Your kindness (of revealing Your Truth and will to me through Jesus) that leads me to repentance.
