Step 2: Covenant Restoration (Continued Part 3 of 3)
Repent/Renounce:
Ideally, you will use the covenant restoration conversation to gauge past wrong missteps that led you away from God. You should also learn from God how to avoid future temptations by seeking Him wholeheartedly. You’re going to need ask God questions, acknowledge your wrongdoing, and hear from Him how to do things differently going forward. Be ready to spend as much time as necessary to fully discuss every aspect of this with God. Don’t be in a hurry. Be intentional towards improvement.
It shouldn’t be necessary to say this next part, but having spent years in deliverance ministry, I know it is. When you are talking with God, who sovereignly holds your life and the lives of your loved ones in His power, please be polite. Words like ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ should be used along with your most sincere transparency. God is not obligated to restore your relationship, but He does consider Himself responsible to at least give you the chance to repent. Don’t waste it being insincere, crude, or flippant. If you believe that the reason for the disconnect with God is that you stopped trusting God when there was a loss in your life, you are allowed to discuss those hurts with God. Talk it over until it is resolved. Ultimately though, He is God, and you are not. He knows every purpose and the big picture when you don’t.
After repenting, if you still are not at peace with God or are not hearing Him as expected, then you will need to renounce false authorities or counterfeit gods. Remember, you can only have one God. Anyone or anything that you have bowed down to instead of God, will need to be removed from your sphere of influence. You will need to individually declare each as counterfeit and deny their place in your life. God will help you with this if you will ask Him to identify those occult practices, false religions, idols, and wrong counselors.
On the attached pages, I have provided sample questions for you to ask God. I recommend having note pages or a journal to write out anything that God identifies as problem areas so that you have a checklist of things to correct, change, or redirect. God will be watching to see just how willing you are to restore your relationship. Purposely refusing any direction or being careless with His warnings will not end with the result you were targeting. Be prepared and organized to be a reformed version of yourself.
Attached are two pages (of six) from The Rogue Prophet Magazine, “The Covenant Voice of God” (pages 35-36, dated August 2024) that provide specific questions for you to ask God so that you can hear directly from Him about right from wrong.
