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 continuing 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 to follow His Word. 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 are focusing not just on removing old sin patterns, but above all knowing Who our Bridegroom is. Jesus IS God; He is the Name above ALL Names. By each day becoming open to knowing His Name, ending with the Name above all Names, we will begin to grasp Who Jesus is, and will thus begin to see ourselves properly as His Bride.
Join in the 40 day repentance cleanse at any point. Begin today. To register please go here: www.globalrepent.com
-- and please sign the Covenant ! Our sister Kathleen in California wrote: "May this new covenant advance God's Holy Kingdom on earth as we all repent and cleanse ourselves from sin patterns and all unrighteousness while we await the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. AMEN"
Day Twelve of the 40 days will begin on Sunday, April 2.
Day Twelve: Put All Trust in Him
Name of God: Oedosh Yisrael-Holy One of Israel (Leviticus 19:1-2)
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ' Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them, ' You shall be holy, for I the LORD you God am holy.'" ~Leviticus 19: 1-2.
" For I am the LORD your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth." ~Leviticus 11:44
Spend time today alone with the Holy Spirit as you spiritually"dine" with Him, your Teacher. (Revelation 3:20). He wishes you to become an overcomer. (Revelation 3:21).
Is there any hesitancy or doubt in you holding Oedosh Yisrael-Holy One of Israel in healthy fear, with reverence and profound respect? Take time with Him now and ask Him where this hesitancy or doubt began.
Do you believe in Him fully? We are to rely upon God the Holy One of Israel. He is worthy of our putting ALL trust in Him ! We know this Word in Psalm 37:3: "Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness."
And Isaiah 50: 10:" 'Who among you fears the LORD? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD and rely upon his God." With this trust we can seek to follow His Word and be holy. We are to be clean, set apart, dedicated to sacred purposes, holy as He is holy. 1 Peter 1: 13-16 says: " Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, ' Be holy, for I am holy.'"
Ask the Holy Spirit what more He can teach you as to where you may have doubted Him as Oedosh Yisrael-Holy One of Israel. To believe in Him fully is central to our faith. When you sincerely repent, convert from your old ways, and come into His Kingdom you receive His holiness, His Holy Spirit, indwelling in you! Here is the Word in Ezekiel 36: 21-29: But I had concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations wherever they went. “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went. And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord,” says the Lord God, “when I am hallowed in you before their eyes. For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God. I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. I will call for the grain and multiply it, and bring no famine upon you.
Jesus said in John 16: 7-15: "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you."
As your Holy Spirit Teacher reveals any of this hesitancy or doubt, where you may have doubted Him as Oedosh Yisrael-Holy One of Israel, if you are moved, take the opportunity to confess any 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, such as this one: And Jesus Himself said: " I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." ~John 14: 6.
Or these verses: " I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind." (Philippians 3:14-16)
And let this be another guide for seeing Oedosh Yisrael-Holy One of Israel as Jesus prophetically in His Word:
Isaiah 9: 6-7:
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Yeshua/ Jesus said, John 14:27: " Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. " For that alone, we are called to put ALL trust in Him continually.
Let those Words be your guide today, and all days forward, as you walk on His path as a member of His Bride. May the joy of the Lord be your strength. By each day 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. Yeshua/ Jesus is our soon-coming Bridegroom.
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, to believe in You fully. 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, Almighty God, in heaven."
