Dear sisters and brothers in Christ Jesus, part of a growing repentance remnant globally,
Who among us doesn't have idols? Is it your church denomination, your nation, your children, your family, your career, your friends, hobbies, past memories, bank account, favorite programs? Are any of them above the Lord in your life? The Lord is rightfully a jealous God. Idolators won't get into heaven. It's time to repent.
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 Fourteen of the 21 Day Repentance journey, the focus is on the seventh of these sins that will keep us out of heaven : idolators.
Day fourteen: Idolators. Ask the Helper if you have a spirit of idolatry. Where did it first surface in you? Is it a generational spirit? How does it show up in your life today?
What is His replacement?
"You shall have no other gods before Me." Exodus 20:3
" And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it." Matthew 10: 38-39
As you confess that sin, He will forgive you. Then you'll have the opportunity to exercise your free will to repent, to choose to turn 180 degrees from that sin pattern to God's eternal Way, His Word. The Word of God is mighty for pulling down strongholds. Repentance is a bold, mature choice of your mind and heart to renounce that sin pattern, choosing instead to live by His Word fully in His Kingdom--- His Way, His Truth, and His Life.
Once you've repented, speak out loud the new Word that replaces the old sin pattern. The devil will be shocked. Share your new Godly character with everyone. We are cleansing as members of His Royal Priesthood, cleansing as His Bride. He is the very soon-returning Bridegroom.
***************************
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.
*************
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 if you wish, 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? 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!
God bless you!
