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; pride is an abomination, the first abomination to Almighty God, Proverbs 6:17. In diametric contrast, moving in the Holy Spirit instead of the anti-Christ spirit, we who have come into His Eternal Kingdom, now have to get ready, 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).
Have you forgiven everyone in your life? Have you released that offense? Or is there still unforgiveness and bitterness in your heart?
Even before looking at whether you have a residue of this sin pattern of unforgiveness, 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 this wicked practice of unforgiveness. Are there people who you still can't forgive? 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
Instead of continuing in unforgiveness, ask the Holy Spirit to help you today to forgive everyone in your life. Jesus states this vital Truth in Matthew 6: 14-15: " For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
And Jesus then emphasizes again the critical issue of forgiving all others in the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant. Even before the Parable He points out this Truth: " Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. "
The Lord Jesus is so very clear that forgiveness is vital if you wish to be with Him in heaven.
" Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.
“So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”
"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

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.
