Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant, cleansing as His Bride, getting ready for His soon return as our Bridegroom,
The Risen Christ is our soon-returning Bridegroom. He sees us as His Bride. We all fall short of the glory of God, and yet He loves us and wishes us to follow Him up His narrow path to holiness. He wishes us to be holy as He is holy.
To support this process, National Day of Repentance is calling for a 40 day repentance cleanse, leading up to a Global Day of Repentance in many nations on Sunday, April 30, 2023. God willing, using the model of Nehemiah, many of us also will sign a new Covenant, confessing where we have failed to honor His Word and Authority. We will pledge to humble ourselves, pray, seek His face and turn from our wicked ways. Using His solution in 2 Chronicles 7:13-14, the Covenant calls upon the Lord, in His Mercy, to hear from heaven, forgive our sins, and heal our lands.
In this forty day time of purification we will focus not just on removing old sin patterns, but above all knowing Who our Bridegroom is. By each day becoming open to knowing His Name, ending with the Name above all Names, we will begin to grasp Who He is, and will thus begin to see ourselves properly as His Bride.
Day one of the 40 days begins on Wednesday, March 22.
With each day we will also include a Name of God. They all point to Yeshua/ Jesus! Here is the first day's suggested exercise:
Day One: Deeply respect Almighty God in healthy reverence, with healthy fear and profound respect
Name of God: Elohim- God the Creator (Genesis 1:1: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.")
Spend time alone with the Holy Spirit as you spiritually"dine" with Him, your Teacher, today (Revelation 3:20)
Is there any hesitancy or doubt in you holding Elohim, the Creator, in healthy fear, with reverence and profound respect?
Take time with Him now and ask Him where this hesitancy or doubt began. Ask Him what more He can teach you. As He reveals this, if you are moved, take the opportunity to confess that sin. If you do, He will be faithful and just to forgive that sin and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9. And then you can take the next step, and freely decide forever to remove that hesitancy by changing your mind, repenting, and replacing it with His Word in Genesis 1:1: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Let that Word be your guide and all days forward as you walk on His path today as a member of His Bride. May the joy of the Lord be your strength.
Here is a simple prayer which you can use as a model: "Heavenly Father, in Yeshua/Jesus/ Name, help me to remove all that is old and inaccurate, a filter of Who You are. Help me to grow in Christ to know You as You are. Please fill me afresh with Your loving Holy Spirit so that I may walk in Your fruits of the Holy Spirit, bringing salt and light to others, being a light so shining before men, that they may see good works and glorify You, our Father, Almighty God, in heaven."
