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,

June is "Celebrate Life Month," as set forth by pro life groups such as thejusticefoundation.org.  It's also a month, as is every month, for Cleansing His Bride. 

It's Cleansing the Bride month instead of man's pride month. The gay lifestyle proponents call for "pride." No; a "proud look" is an abomination, the first abomination to Almighty God, Proverbs 6:17. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18. It's pride that changed some angels into demons. We need to pray in love to have those caught in that lifestyle to remove that spirit; we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. ~Ephesians 6:12. Every day people are conquering that flesh-based lifestyle and are changed in Jesus Christ, repenting, truly converting from the fleshly lifestyle.

In diametric contrast to pride, moving in the Holy Spirit instead of the anti-Christ spirit, we who have come into His Eternal Kingdom, now, humbly submitted to Him, have to get ready, to cleanse as His Bride, with Holy Spirit oil in our lamps, as were those five wise virgins, Matthew 25: 1-13.

God willing, on Sunday, June 25, we will be encouraging shepherds in His ecclesia in church services in all nations to focus their preaching on cleansing the Bride. A portion of our website has been set up for that purpose. www.globalrepent.com.

We'll also, God willing, be doing a global zoom call.

Between now and then we hope to encourage you each day with a simple repentance process, an old sin pattern, a stronghold (2 Corinthians 10: 4) for you and your Holy Spirit Teacher to remove. Take time with Him ! He wants to "dine" with you (Revelation 3:20).

Question: are you able to "count it all joy when you fall into various trials ?" ( James 1:2)

Even before looking at whether you have a residue of this sin pattern of failing to "count it all joy when you fall into various trials," take time to ensure that you've repented, that you've been actually converted into Jesus' Kingdom. Only then can you receive the Holy Spirit and begin to cleanse as His Bride. Yeshua/ Jesus was very clear: " ...unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." ~Luke 13: 3,5. We were all "by nature children of wrath." Ephesians 2:3. And Acts 3:19 is right on point: " 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...."

That word "converted' was also spoken by our Yeshua Messiah, Lord Jesus: " Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, ' Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18: 2-4.

Take time now with your Teacher, the Holy Spirit, and ask Him if there's any residue in your heart of failing to count it all joy when you fall into various trials. Ask Him where the root of this sin pattern in your life was first planted. As He may reveal this to you, you can confess that sin. He will forgive you: " If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. " 1 John 1:9-10. At any point you may then choose to take the next step of your free will to repent, to turn fully from that stronghold in your mind, that lie where God's Word has been blocked by your confused belief or cultural idea earlier held to be true. 

Turning away from the lie, then replace that lie with the Truth based on God's Word. Replace lies with Truth. Yeshua/ Jesus IS the Truth: " I am the way, the truth and the life." John 14:6. To withstand in the evil day, "gird your waist with truth....." Ephesians 6:14. And then, speaking truth, be a witness to others of your newly-changed Godly character; "bear fruit worthy of repentance. " Matthew 3:8

James 1: 2-5 has a powerful Word: " My brethren, count it all joy when you face various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."

Even in their suffering at trials the early believers in Yeshua rejoiced: " And they agreed with him, [Gamaliel], and when they had called for the apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. So they departed from the presence of the council, REJOICING that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name." Acts 5: 40-41

Joy is derived from the confidence that paying the price and dying to our self will contains the certainty of eventually realizing the eternal triumph of His. For Jesus, bringing sons and daughters into fellowship with the Father was His delight, though the horrific cross was the painful means to that eventual joy. Hebrews 12:2.

And the LORD says to us today in John 15: 9-11: " As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken t you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full." 

"Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and the spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God." 2 Corinthians 7:1

Each Wednesday we also have a 90 minute "Cleansing the Bride" zoom call at 10:30 AM Pacific USA time. Recently we had on the zoom brothers and sisters in Christ from Australia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, South Africa, the United Kingdom, Kansas, and California. The Lord was giving us a glimpse of the global Bride, and giving us simple prayer exercises in private to remove old sin patterns to cleanse as His Bride.

Thanks to the Lord, and thanks to you, in a thirty day period last month NDR made a record number of donations to repentance-based ministries. Just the other day we were able to send $300 to Pastor Isaac in Uganda who, with his flock, runs a health clinic. The clinic had run out of medicine in the face of a malaria outbreak; it can now begin to address that critical situation. During those thirty days NDR was able to make seventy one (71) donations to fourteen different pastors/ ministries following our repentance guidelines in nine nations: Algeria, Kenya, Malawi, Nepal, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. As a result, because repentance is being preached, a "Pathway of His Miracles" is now underway, especially among the youth in Africa.

Do you see yourself as part of the growing repentance remnant? With any donation, of even a small amount, you will receive" fruit that will abound to your account." Philippians 4:17.

God bless you,

Pastor Jeff Daly

Are you called to bring His Flame of repentance to your city or state or nation? The LORD lit the flame among youth in Africa, and it's now burning among youth in several nations, but He wishes it to spread all over His Planet. We'll join you to pray for His Wisdom to make it happen where He's planted you for such a time as this (Acts 17:26). Repentance is His Gift, not a punishment.
