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 Thirteen of the 40 days will begin on Monday, April 3.
Day Thirteen: Call upon Him Continually
Name of God: Yahweh Tsuri- The Lord is My Rock (Psalm 18:2)
"The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." ~~Psalm 18:2
David repeats this in 2 Samuel 22:2, and 47: " The LORD lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let God be exalted, The Rock of my salvation."
Spend time alone with the Holy Spirit as you spiritually"dine" with Him, your Teacher, today (Revelation 3:20). He wishes you to become an overcomer. (Revelation 3:21).
Is there any hesitancy or doubt in you holding Yahweh Turi-The Lord is My Rock 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 Yahweh Turi-The Lord is My Rock. He is worthy of our calling upon Him continually! We know this Word in Matthew 7: 24-27: “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
Ask the Holy Spirit what more He can teach you as to where you may have doubted Him as Yahweh Turi-The Lord is My Rock. 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! Greater is the Holy Spirit in you than any spirit in the world. ~1 John 4:4.
As your Holy Spirit Teacher reveals any of this hesitancy or doubt, 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 Yahweh Turi-The Lord is My Rock as Jesus prophetically in His Word:
Matthew 16: 17-18: "He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it."
The rock is not Peter as an individual. Jesus' word for Peter was " petros" a fragment of the "Petra"- the foundation stone. 1 Corinthians 3: 11 confirms this: " For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
And Yeshua/ Jesus said, John 15: 1-8 : “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you[b] will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
Abiding in Jesus, we are blessed to call upon 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."

A recent Capitol Hill Prayer Partners conference call has been recorded. It gives an overview of our NDR projects and key prayers. You can listen by going here.
Each Wednesday we hold a 90 minute zoom "Cleansing the Bride" call which includes several private times with the Holy Spirit to see if there is any residue of an old sin pattern. Love grows as anyone later voluntarily shares what she or he may have confessed and repented of; there's no condemnation; we can all relate! Please join us: 10:30 AM Pacific, 1: 30 PM Eastern USA
