God calls us unto repentance — a turning away from evils. However, true repentance is more than learning about the evils in us and stopping them externally when the opportunity arises. True repentance which God seeks for us is the repentance of the heart and mind in addition to the external actions. This can only happen when we are privy to the true nature of the evils in our hearts — when we perceive evils as truly evil and good as truly good. This process is called Spiritual Fermentation.

In this series, Pastor Jeffrey Walter demonstrates how the riches of God made available by Grace can be accessed through faith in our understanding. He shows the process by which sin is removed from our hearts so that we can gain a new understanding compatible with faith in God. Finally, he reveals God's destiny for us to be caught up (raptured) into and live from a higher revelation of wisdom — face to face encounter with the Lord.

In this episode, titled ‘Spiritual Fermentation’, Pastor Jeffrey Walter teaches on the process by which evil appears to a man as evil and good as good. He explains that the reason we persist in our evils is because we think of them as good and revel in the happiness we derive from them. We are blinded by the evils and fail to see that true genuine happiness comes from doing good. Thus, the process of spiritual fermentation reveals the actual nature of evil for us to despise and reject it.

As humans, we have the power to reject things we do not like. May this message open your eyes to see your freewill and the might of God to deliver you from evil. May you be strengthened to yield to the process of spiritual fermentation!
