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-----
Continuing in the season of Light, starting with the Feast of Dedication, and continuing now with Christ-mas, celebrating, whichever Day, Yeshua/Jesus' perfect, prophetic Birth, as The Light of this world, perhaps we can use the light of Truth as an answer to a question rightfully posed by a key USA evangelist, Mario Murillo.
Brother Mario, www.mariomurillo.org, in his article on December 24, rightfully points out that the current generation of youth in the USA and many nations are stuck in fear and self. And he rightfully asked what you and I are going to do about it. These are several quotes from his excellent article: " youth are trading freedom in Christ for "safety. " Small dreams, sixty year old eyes in twenty year old bodies. Question: what will happen if we don't go? "The older generation is just as guilty. They will not invest in the next generation. Boomers still believe they are the youth generation. Sure they are angry, but not sacrificial. They are content to watch News channels. Enraged but not engaged. It is time to act! Our nation is slipping away! it is time to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. ... Stop planning on gumming applesauce at Leisure World. Put your money where the war is!....The Wise Men [those studying Daniel who were now seeking Jesus] are a great rebuke to young and old. They asked the evil king, "Where is the real King?" They would take a flame thrower to our high-maintenance, low impact, Christianity. They would rise up and tell the truth no matter what the cost. I do not want to hear your excuse for not facing the danger of going into the fray against evil that is suffocating America. I want to ask you the question. What will happen if we don't go?
The answer is to give young people the entire gospel including God's Gift of repentance. They need to know the goodness of God which will lead them to repentance (Romans 2:4). Once in His Kingdom each person can learn God's unique plan on his or her life (John 15:16). Hopelessness and fear then is replaced by a deep, deep JOY and LOVE that can not be experienced in this drab, stale, wicked , corrupt world system ---which they know about, and have been trying to avoid by social media, driven too often by the devil. The devil wants to kill, steal and destroy the current and eternal life purpose Almighty God has for each of them.
Repentance is the Way into His Kingdom, as Jesus Himself first preached (Matthew 4:17), and as His first disciples first preached (Mark 6:12). It was among Jesus' last words before His Ascension (Luke 24:47). The Risen Christ commanded each of us, as His disciples, to preach repentance. Repentance was even mentioned by the Risen Christ before remission of sins!
To answer our Brother Mario Murillo, a key insight can be found in the first speeches by Peter, having been heavenly drenched by the fire of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-43). A newly-inspired Peter preached, right after his repentance-filled speech at Pentecost (Acts 2:38-39), another speech using the key word " convert."
Acts 3:19-21 states:
" Repent therefore and be CONVERTED, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began."
Without conversion one can't enter Jesus' Kingdom. Young people especially have not been taught this. You have to die to your old self, having been born " by nature children of wrath" (Ephesians 2:3). Young people, old people, pastors, priests, still filled with the curse of rebellion, need to have a deep, committed change of thinking, and then exercise his or her free will apologizing to God: each must firmly choose His Way, His Kingdom, instead of the world and the flesh. Then, choosing Jesus as Lord, each will be filled with His Holy Spirit, a new creation in Christ. As a true disciple, no longer playing a limited life, and now having found the unique call on his or her life (John 15:16) , and now with His JOY in their hearts and His LOVE, each is then "made perfect in love." Each can then preach to others as an Ambassador of Christ, a member of His royal priesthood.
Perfect LOVE casts out fear. He who fears has not been made perfect in love. (1 John 4:18).
That is the answer to Mario's question.

Many of you are joining in prayer for the dire situation in Malawi. People are short of basic food. Here's Joseph's report on how, in honor of The Child, he is involving the OUT youth to help this Christmas: "100 house hold will be blessed with small pack of food if you donate $20 will make difference as hunger continue biting we need to use this as a platform for the youth to spearhead the message of repentance
One pack cost $20 and you put a smile on their faces and join angels who sang the joy to the world the king of peace has come "
And as a CHRIST-MAS gift to you, here again is his report on his work for Yeshua/Jesus' Kingdom in 2023:
Brother Jeffrey l would like to thank God for revelation of knowing the power of repentance , God opened my spiritual eyes to see repentance as only hidden revelation of this message of repentance .
I remember well first time l get in touch with Edward Mikwamba when l wrote on my Facebook page saying f we as a nation goes back to God in repentance our country will be healed.
And yes we met and plan together the big repentance conference in Lilongwe at simama hotel where 100 Church leaders joined us repenting for the nation and the miracle transition happened.
Those repentance prayers brought peace and change in the country no blood shed while others were predicting blood shed .
We had good transition peaceful without fighting And Malawi is envied today to have a born again Christian as president of the nation .
That's a beggining of miracles after miracles , The NDR helped us to touch many people with repentance messages in all four regions of Malawi ,
Thousands of people start acknowledging the message of repentance as the way forward .
In the process God showed up and spoke directly to me when we were in Dedza west during repentance conference with pastors he said Joseph we are missing young people this is not the time to left them behind .
This was the birthday of OUT international l spoke and share that with church leaders and almost every leader agreed with me and the Journey started we call leaders and youth Leaders together and have prayers and training ,
But Lord said focus your time and energy to touch the youth not only in Malawi but Africa because the hope and future of this nations belongs to these youths.
I can say l personally say with my team we have met face to face 5500 youths from different denominations which is also a miracle on its own because now we have seen unity of purpose ,from cotholic to any independent churches ,Another miracle is we even touch Moslem world we have seen youth who are Moslems come to know Jesus for first time .
Not only that we have reached Zambia , Tanzania and share this message to young in Kenya as well.
So lam happy to see that thousands of young people became young soldiers of Christ.
Another miracle is reaching hundreds of youths from dumping site of our city all this it's because of obedience of men and women of God who send support to NDR we have done many things and we continue touching the government officials because of this
Recently the president included me to organise the national day of repentance prayers and after those prayers we have seen rain start coming in many parts of country .
My suggestion and prayer is to see more happenings in 2024 we have planted seeds and soon the haverst will begin.
Challenges in all these we have also confess that we faced with challenges on funding as we have seen that we only have few people supporting NDR and this affected our Out trainings in some areas .
The enemy hates this ministry and his wish is to block us and NDR to do the needful.
But l pray 2024 we will reach more people than before and we are taking this message of repentance to where is needed most help us and push us to do needful we have no time to waste Jesus is coming back soon let's work while we see the light .
NB
We need to pay OUT offices in advance so that we will do our operations without hindrance.
100 families needs to be touched help us to put smile during this season of Joy to the world
The time of hunger like this time NDR helped us to feed people through young people who do the work
*****************
You know the situation: NDR exists, with two volunteers, without church or denomination support, to encourage His Gift of repentance to pastors, priests, worship leaders, all believers, in nations everywhere. Can you donate $20 or more to the OUT Christmas program for the youth to "spearhead the message of repentance"? Thank you.
God bless you, and Merry CHRIST-mas this holy-day season,
Jeff
