Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus:
It's clearly past time for personal and national repentance. Our forefathers in the USA used this key Way to heal our nation over 800 times starting with the Pilgrims.
The last such Proclamation by Congress or the White House for a Day of Prayer, Fasting and Repentance was in 1918! Yes we have a National Day of Prayer, but prayer is only one of four key ingredients in God's Solution to heal a nation.
You know the key Scripture-- here it is in the amplified version, 2 Chronicles 7:13,14: If I shut up the heavens so that no rain falls, or if I command locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence and plague among My people, and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land.
This coming April 30 NDR will hold for the 14th year in a row a call for a National Day of Prayer, Fasting and Repentance. It's a call at the grassroots in prayer closets and in local churches that day as any pastor may choose.
In view of mankind's impasse over so much in all nations globally, it's time for God's Solution: humility, prayer, craving God's face, and repentance.
April 30 was the day that George Washington was inaugurated in 1789; April 30 was one of three days of "Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer"declared by President Lincoln; April 30, 1974 was the Day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer voted on unanimously by the US Senate in December, 1973 during Watergate, but that April 30, 1974 was never held; it was never passed by the House given their then impeachment hearings of President Nixon.
And finally, April 30 as a day of prayer, fasting and repentance always precedes the National Day of Prayer held on the first Thursday of May-- thus we have contrition and consecration before celebration. Psalm 66:18 states that if we have iniquity in our hearts the Lord won't hear our prayers. Isaiah 59:1,2 says: " Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear."
An April 30 National Day of Prayer, Fasting and Repentance will also begin to align the Body of Christ in this nation prior to whatever President Trump plans for May 17. It would align with a prayer ministry, Americas Prayer Meeting, http://www.projectpray.org, urging One Million believers in Jesus Christ to Pray and then Disciple One Million new Followers of Christ. Additionally, it will encourage participation in the planned " Nehemiah Alliance 52 Day Rebuild USA project" set for later this Fall.
Please sign up on the National Day of Repentance website, http://www.globalrepent.com
God willing we will have a 3 hour zoom on April 30, starting at 9 AM Pacific time. Please join us. Although the focus will be on the USA and key issues for which we need to repent such as the ongoing killing of innocents and removing the idols in our land, we expect brothers and sisters in Christ in other nations will join on the zoom, as they have in the past, and thus it will constitute a global call to repentance in their nations also.
******************************
Virtually every day more requests for help come to us than we have NDR funds to give. Pastors preaching repentance [Mark 6:12] are delivering and healing people [Mark 6:13], bringing thousands into Jesus' Kingdom.
The GOOD NEWS is that repentance is ON FIRE amongst the youth and pastors, especially in Africa. They need funds almost daily for physical food and logistics even as they are giving out His Spiritual Food.
Please Partner with us, please pray and support and receive the blessings He will give, donating as the Lord leads. Thanks to you, we are waking up His Bride with His Gift of repentance, bringing freedom to MANY. Thank you !
