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 Cleansing the Bride zoom call at 9 AM Pacific USA time, noon Eastern, 6 PM Central Africa time on Sunday, June 25:

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: have you crucified the flesh?
Even before looking at whether you have a residue of this sin pattern of failing to crucify the flesh, 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 you of failing to crucify the flesh. 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
The lust of the flesh pulls us toward the world. 1 John 2: 15-17 tells us: " Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world---the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life---is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever."
This confirms the several places in the Book of Proverbs where we see people lost to the lust of the flesh. Proverbs 6:25: " Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, Nor let her allure you with her eyelids..." and Proverbs 11:6: " The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust."
Galatians 5: 24, 25 tells us: " And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit." The strength to do this comes from the Lord's own crucifixion. The Holy Spirit, writing through Paul to the Galatians says, 6: 14: " But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world."
Romans 8: 1-14 gives a great lesson on conquering the lust of the flesh:
" There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God."
"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. Please join us: Direct Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87050808691?pwd=ZkMvM3VtTDF6TUFCKytDdE9vZ0V0UT09

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.
National Day of Repentance is a 501c3 tax exempt nonprofit organization
