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.
-- 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".
And our sister Cecilia in Michigan wrote: I want no thing between my God and myself that would offend Him. I pray for Him to lead me. To pray for His people Israel and for His complete and perfect bride in all nations, as we are grafted in by His most capable hands. I am blessed to declare that I am a part of this covenant, this new covenant between Him and me, between God and us, His bride.
Another wrote: I am grateful to take part and agree with the Covenant as stated. Praise and glory to Almighty G-d Our Heavenly Father, Yeshua HaMashiach Jesus Christ Our Lord, and Holy Spirit Ruach HaKodesh amen

Day Thirty Three of the 40 days will begin on Sunday, April 23.
Day 33: Act as a Peacemaker
Name of God: The Architect, Builder of All Things, Jerusalem
"Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously, since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. Also I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the Lord will build you a house. And it shall be, when your days are fulfilled, when you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever. I will be his Father, and he shall be My son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took it from him who was before you. And I will establish him in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever.” ’ ” 1 Chronicles 17:9-14
The house referred to above is best interpreted as "royal dynasty." The Lord is The Architect, Builder of All Things, including His royal dynasty and Holy focus on Jerusalem.
This royal dynasty is spoken of in Psalm 89: 3,4: " I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn to My servant David: Your seed I will establish forever, And build up your throne to all generations."
And this royal dynasty built by The Architect, Builder of All Things, is then seen in this Word from Yeshua/ Jesus in Matthew 19:28 "So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'"
Honoring the Living God as The Architect, Builder of All Things, we are submitted to Him with all authority. And having repented, having received His Holy Spirit, now set apart from the world, we are able to love others and to act as a peacemaker. " Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." Matthew 5:9.
" These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." Matthew 16: 33.
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 The Architect, Builder of All Things, 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 who is a Consuming Fire, a Jealous God. We are to be zealous to repent every day to be ready for Him when He returns as our Bridegroom.
Ask the Holy Spirit what more He can teach you as to where you may have doubted Him as The Architect, Builder of All Things. To believe in Him fully is central to our faith. Jesus said in John 6: 27-29: " Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him. Then they said to Him, ' What shall we do, that we may work the work of God?' Jesus answered and said to them, ' This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.'"
Have you opened the "door" of your heart and mind to have Him come in and "dine" with you to have communion with Him and to "chew" on any old sin issues? (Revelation 3:20). If you've not opened the "door" of your heart and mind to "dine" with the Risen Christ/ Holy Spirit, today is the day to confess that 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 sin pattern by changing your mind, repenting, and replacing it with His Word, such as this one, in 2 Corinthians 7:1: "Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God."
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
Clearly, Yeshua/Jesus, was the culmination of the royal dynasty begun with David.
And now Yeshua is the chief cornerstone of His House. Isaiah 28: 16: " Behold, I lay in Zion, a chief cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame." We are " Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 2: 4-5
Let those Words be your guide today, and all days forward, as you walk on His path, praising Him as The Architect, Builder of All Things, moving in His peace as a peacemaker, 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, every stronghold, every filter of Who You are. Help me be set apart from the world and the flesh. Shine Your Light through me. Thank You that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds. Help me to see You as the Lord Who Builds All Things, setting me apart to be a living stone, to be holy as You are holy. Please help me bear fruit of the Holy Spirit, including the fruit of peace, worthy of Your gift of repentance. Help me to see You as my healer, to have a clean heart, to walk in Your authority, to love my enemies, to love my neighbors, to forgive others, to not covet, to grow in Christ, to know You as You are, to believe in You fully. Guide me on Your path to Your holiness, a member of Your royal priesthood. Help me become an overcomer, as You overcame. Please fill me afresh with Your loving Holy Spirit so that I may walk in Your fruits of the Holy Spirit, bearing fruit worthy of repentance, bringing salt and light to others, being a light so shining before men, that they may see good works and glorify You above all else, Almighty God."

Do you see yourself as part of the growing repentance remnant? Please pray with us and support us as the Lord leads. Thank you to all who have given funds into the disaster in Malawi. With those funds pastors are being supported to feed their neighbors, and the OUT youth are handing out blankets and food, and are preaching the gospel! And yet at the same time we are falling short each month in our target of $3,000/month to operate this repentance-focused, now global ministry. With any donation, of even a small amount, you will receive" fruit that will abound to your account." Philippians 4:17.
God bless you,

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
