Dear sisters and brothers in Christ Jesus, part of a growing repentance remnant globally,

Imagine the JOY Elijah experienced when the fire of the LORD fell, consuming the burnt sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the dust, licking up the water in the trench, proving that the LORD, He is God!

That same JOY of the Lord awaits anyone who can die to self and come into His Kingdom. And that same JOY awaits anyone spiritually mature enough to confess sins and then repent, removing old sin patterns, replacing them with God's Word.

Proverbs 6:16-19 sets forth the 7 abominations God hates (that's His Word).
Each one of the seven has clearly been loosed on the planet in every nation, and you and I, already called by Him His Bride, (Ephesians 5: 25-27) are now urged by Him today (Revelation 3: 19-21) to extricate ourselves from these abominations, these demonic traps. We are to come up higher to His Word as our Rock, extricating ourselves from this wicked culture all around us. Today is the day to get ready; He is the soon-coming Bridegroom.

Repentance can be placed into action. If you haven't already, please join NDR's ending drought project. The purpose is to put repentance into action, as we cleanse as His Bride. You can join from any site on the planet. 25 States in the USA and 4 other nations are represented already.

There are sins that the Lord declares will keep any of us out of heaven. Revelation 21:7,8: "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

Today on Day Eight of the 21 Day Repentance journey, the focus is on the first of these sins that will keep us out of heaven : the Cowardly.

Day eight: Cowardly. Ask the Helper if you are cowardly. Where did it first surface in you? Is it a generational curse? How does it show up in your life today?
What is His replacement? Fear of God, not man. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and of a strong mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

"The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion."
Proverbs 28:1:

*************

We learn in 1 Kings 18:36-39 that after Elijah prayed on Mt Carmel for the Lord to show the people that Lord was God in Israel, Elijah then said to Ahab: Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of abundance of rain. (verse 41). As Ahab went up to eat and drink, Elijah went to the top of Mt. Carmel.

The Word says: " then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees." ~1 Kings 18: 42.

This shows REPENTANCE.

Elijah is a good example to follow. " Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit." ~James 5: 17-18

Elijah made a declaration.
He then prayed. (The prayers had to have included prayers of repentance.)
He then by faith continued to send his servant to look toward the sea for rain. 
On the 7th time a cloud as small as a man's hand was seen.
Elijah then told his servant to tell Ahab to " prepare your chariot before the rain stops you."
God then moved: " Now it happened in the meantime that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel. Then the hand of the LORD came upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel." 1 Kings 18: 45-46

So if one man with a nature like ours could pray and bring about rain, how much more could a team of believers in Christ, repenting and praying for rain daily, cause the Lord to hear from heaven, forgive our sins, and heal our land, causing an abundance of rain?

Each day for the next 21 days beginning on October 3: take time to be with the Lord---claim first the full armor of God, Ephesians 6:10-11: "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."

and then..........

-------begin with a Declaration.   Elijah declared: " there is the sound of abundance of rain." Use your own words to declare in faith words to that effect: there is the sound of an abundance of rain! 

-------spend time with the Lord, asking Him to dine with you, asking Him which old sin pattern He would help you remove through His gift of repentance. Use today's sin as a focus if you wish.

-------having confessed that sin, then exercise your free will and repent,

-------having repented, your prayers will be that much more powerful: The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much! James 5:16.

-------then, wherever you are on His planet, pray for His rain in these western USA States so that His earth may produce His fruit. 

-------please connect with us so that we can pray with you; please share your testimonies; please join us for our Wednesday repentance hour each week.

Have you been blessed by repentance? As busy as you may be, are you called by the Lord to join our team? We need sisters and brothers to spread the small group repentance booklets, to educate many through social media, to find pastors and priests to support our outreach, to find new resources to maintain our work in many nations. NDR receives no funding from a church, or denomination, or foundation, or major individual. Do you see repentance as vital in our personal lives? In our nations? That is our sole purpose for ministry, and we depend on your individual support, whatever the amount, to cover our costs and requests daily for food from pastors all over the planet who are awakening to the gift of repentance and need food for themselves and their flocks. As you give, whatever the amount, you'll receive His fruit that will abound to your account!
A recent video gives a good overview of our work for Him and for you https://youtu.be/SOsF_uxNkNU

God bless you!
