Repentance & The Kingdom February 22nd, 2026 | River of God | Pastor Donald Gray

In this week’s message, Pastor Donald Gray delivers a clear, urgent word to the church: repentance is not optional — it’s a kingdom response. With prophetic encouragement, sobering scripture, and practical instruction, this teaching calls believers to let God fix us first, so His blessing and protection can rest on His people in the days ahead.Pastor Donald opens with a personal prophetic moment, speaking renewal over a sister in the house — renewed youth, renewed joy, and restored what was lost — then reminds the church: what God speaks for one of His children can be a word for all who will receive it.From there, the Holy Spirit shifts the service to one central word: repentance. Pastor Donald explains that many have trivialized repentance, but in Acts 2 it was one of the first foundational words preached at the birth of the church. He gives a simple, practical definition to write down:Repentance = “Cease from doing evil, and learn to do good.”Reading from Luke 17:20–27, Pastor Donald teaches on the kingdom of God — that it is in our midst when God’s presence is here — but also warns that there is coming a day when God’s kingdom is revealed in judgment, like the days of Noah. People continued life as usual, ignored the warning, and destruction came suddenly. The message is direct: God’s judgment is real, and it can be sudden — so the church must be ready.Pastor Donald also introduces the idea of God as the One who fixes what is broken, calling the church to stop pointing fingers and begin praying: “Fix me, God.” Repentance isn’t just words — it’s turning away from evil and returning to God.Finally, he closes with a powerful and challenging reminder: complete repentance is not only going to God — it also means making things right with people:repent to those you’ve done wrongrepent to those who have done you wrongThis is the pathway to freedom — and Pastor Donald emphasizes that repentance brings blessing when it’s real.Key Reminders from This MessageRepentance has been minimized — but Heaven still calls it essentialRepentance means: cease from doing evil, and learn to do goodThe kingdom of God is in your midst when God’s presence is presentAs in the days of Noah, many will ignore warnings until it’s too lateGod is a “Fixer” — but it starts with “Fix me, God”Judgment can be sudden — the church must stay readyRepentance brings blessing when it’s sincere and completeComplete repentance includes reconciling with people, not just praying privately📖 Scripture CoveredLuke 17:20–27Acts 2(Referenced) The days of Noah / the flood account🙌 Like, Share & SubscribeHelp spread this message by liking, sharing, and subscribing.🔔 Stay UpdatedTap the bell icon for new sermons and teachings.📺 YouTube: River of God Channel🌐 Website: https://rogcc.com📍 In Person:River of God Christian Center110 Wolcott St, Brooklyn, NY 11231🎯 Hashtags#Repentance #KingdomOfGod #Luke17 #DaysOfNoah #FixMeGod #HolySpirit #RiverOfGod #PastorDonaldGray #ChristianSermon #EndTimes #ReturnToGod #Prayer #BrooklynChurch
