The Concept of the Hebrew Word Teshuvah

What is Teshuvah? Teshuvah means to return. So we can return and if we return to Yeshua which means salvation from a state of fear is like taking past transgressions and turning them into errors. The sin is made better but it's not completely changed. Let me explain that while comparing it to what happens in our everyday lives. Let's say you have offended someone, the next thing to is to repent. Your job is to repent but when we repent of fear, here's what you've done, you've turn that sin, that transgression into just an air. You've lightened it. It's made a little bit better but it's not completely gone away. Another comparison would be this little incident that happened with my daughters. So two of my daughters were arguing, one is trying to go in the door and the other one's trying to keep her from coming to the door. One's pushing on this side and the other one's pushing on the other side and one of them just happens to have her fingers in the crack. So one of my daughters decides to let go and she just rammed her own fingers into this door. You see I'm kind of a prophet, so I'm kind of black and white and I don't have a whole lot of compassion. It is not my gift so Instead of what mom would do which is grab her and comfort her, what I did was told her that it would have happened if she is not pushing the door aggravating her sister.You know there is a proper time to instruct, that was not the proper time to instruct okay because I didn't make it better. There is a time to repent into a concept, we don't want to repent in fear, we want to repent or to return someone in love. When we Teshuva from love, when we return to Yahweh from the motivation of love, it places yourself outside of time, you're immediately on the spiritual level, you were brought outside of time where you can borrow from the perfect love and forgiveness of Yeshua and bring it back into the past to the point of offense. This kind of love not turns it into an air, makes it better and completely changes the offense not to a neutral state, but to a positive place of merit or credit. Now what we've been taught is repentance is turning your back on sin but that is not repentance in its full form.
