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,
There was, as you may already have seen on the news, a HORRIFIC shooting of six people, three children, yesterday in a Christian school outside of Nashville. Pray for the grieving; that's number one. And there are other issues: the shooter was a militant transgender woman with a manifesto; she could have been responding to prior calls for a “Trans Day of Vengeance. ” Tennessee recently passed a law banning child mutilation under the guise of “gender-affirming care,” something the left described as a genocide. This clearly could have played a role in the shooter’s psyche; additionally she was being treated for "emotional illness."
Given all that, I see a deeper Truth. The name of the Christian school was The Covenant. There was a point in time when the United States was part of a Covenant. From the Hugeonots who were martyred in Florida, to the first who landed in Virginia in 1607, to the Pilgrims, to Pastor Winthrop calling inhabitants to be "a city on the hill," to the Founders, perhaps even as late as Lincoln, we were tied uniquely to the Covenant of the Living God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
But now our Covenant is shot! The Living God Who gives either blessings or curses has rightfully judged our nation. This conditional judgment now will wake us up to sincere repentance, personally and as a nation, or worse judgments will follow.
NDR is calling for a repentance cleanse for 40 days, including signing a New Covenant, and then a National Day of Repentance on Sunday, April 30, 2023. Please join this repentance cleanse and sign the New Covenant: www.globalrepent.com
And here is a key portion of Pastor Winthrop's sermon in 1630:
Thus stands the cause between God and us. We are entered into covenant with Him for this work. We have taken out a commission. The Lord hath given us leave to draw our own articles. We have professed to enterprise these and those accounts, upon these and those ends. We have hereupon besought Him of favor and blessing. Now if the Lord shall please to hear us, and bring us in peace to the place we desire, then hath He ratified this covenant and sealed our commission, and will expect a strict performance of the articles contained in it; but if we shall neglect the observation of these articles which are the ends we have propounded, and, dissembling with our God, shall fall to embrace this present world and prosecute our carnal intentions, seeking great things for ourselves and our posterity, the Lord will surely break out in wrath against us, and be revenged of such a people, and make us know the price of the breach of such a covenant.
Now the only way to avoid this shipwreck, and to provide for our posterity, is to follow the counsel of Micah, to do justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly with our God. For this end, we must be knit together, in this work, as one man. We must entertain each other in brotherly affection. We must be willing to abridge ourselves of our superfluities, for the supply of others’ necessities. We must uphold a familiar commerce together in all meekness, gentleness, patience and liberality. We must delight in each other; make others’ conditions our own; rejoice together, mourn together, labor and suffer together, always having before our eyes our commission and community in the work, as members of the same body. So shall we keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. The Lord will be our God, and delight to dwell among us, as His own people, and will command a blessing upon us in all our ways, so that we shall see much more of His wisdom, power, goodness and truth, than formerly we have been acquainted with. We shall find that the God of Israel is among us, when ten of us shall be able to resist a thousand of our enemies; when He shall make us a praise and glory that men shall say of succeeding plantations, “may the Lord make it like that of New England.” For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a by-word through the world.

Even in disasters such as in Malawi, with cholera and cyclones, pastors, having earlier repented and now with the Holy Spirit, are finding the SHALOM of Jesus Christ and at the same time boldness to minister to their communities with a new urgency. Many are coming into the Kingdom as our OUT youth teams hand out food, blankets, and God's Love. Please help, as the Lord leads, with a compassionate heart.
Here is today's request from our brother Jamal in Malawi:
Dear brother,It has been a trying for us. But we thank God that he has given us the energy to rise and leave to share this testimony with others. I have been approached by a certain organization to produce some podcasts on Easter in the vernacular which will be shared among the flood victims. These are messages on repentance and Easter. They are paying for them on delivery. But I have a challenge with my production software. What we bought last time was used and we can't use it again. Brother, I have nothing at the moment. It's been a continued struggle for the past few days. I am keeping hordes of children whose parents were washed away by the floods. It's not easy to manage this brother. Money from this initiative will also help to provide for these children. Brother, am asking for 45USD to get the software. We need to deliver the podcasts by tomorrow afternoon. I kindly ask for your support brother if possible.We are producing the podcasts in three major languages spoken across the country. May God bless you.

Every day we receive requests from several nations for funds for food, medicine, and basic logistics for repentance trainings from pastors preaching repentance who we determine have real needs. We help as we can. The requests exceed the donations. We look to you: no church, no denomination, no other ministry is behind us. With any donation you will receive" fruit that will abound to your account." Philippians 4:17
God bless you,
