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 calling for 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. 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 will focus 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.
-- and please sign the Covenant !
Day nine of the 40 days will begin on Thursday, March 30.
Day Nine: Believe in Him fully
Name of God: Yahweh Nissi- The Lord Is My Banner (Exodus 17:14-16)
"Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.” And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-Lord-Is-My-Banner; for he said, “Because the Lord has sworn: the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
Spend time alone with the Holy Spirit as you spiritually"dine" with Him, your Teacher, today (Revelation 3:20). He loves you and wants you and me, and all others, to become OVERCOMERS to sit with Him as He overcame and sat down with His Father on His throne . (Revelation 3:21).
Is there any hesitancy or doubt in you holding Yahweh Nissi- The Lord Is My Banner 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 "The Lord Your Banner." Surrender to Him, for the battle and the victory belong to the Lord. Ask the Holy Spirit what more He can teach you as to where you may have doubted Him as Yahweh Nissi. To believe in Him fully is central to your 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.'"
Another confirmation is in His Word at 1 John 5: 3-4: " For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?"
As your Holy Spirit Teacher reveals any of this, 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, in John 1:29: " The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, 'Behold!' The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." 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 Jesus prophetically in His Word: Yahweh Nissi- The Lord Is My Banner. The zeal of the Lord in Victory is found, for example, is Isaiah 9: 6-7:
"For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this."
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 boldly 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."
