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 Word of God brings JOY! I believe the man in this above graphic was "convicted" that he needed to repent of some old sin pattern. He then had the courage to seek the Holy Spirit to learn where the old sin pattern arose. He then had the courage to confess the pattern, sincerely repent, and replace the old sin pattern with the Word of God as his path forward towards the holiness to which each one of us is called by the Lord Jesus/ Yeshua.
Perhaps he had an issue with any one of the verses in Ephesians, chapter 4. The book of Ephesians, chapter 4, is a wonderful series of Truths that each of us need to follow. Here are the next eight, verses 17-24, in the amplified version, calling you and me to unity in the Holy Spirit, putting on the new man:
17 So this I say, and solemnly affirm together with the Lord [as in His presence], that you must no longer live as the [unbelieving] Gentiles live, in the futility of their minds [and in the foolishness and emptiness of their souls], 18 for their [moral] understanding is darkened and their reasoning is clouded; [they are] alienated and self-banished from the life of God [with no share in it; this is] because of the [willful] ignorance and spiritual blindness that is [deep-seated] within them, because of the hardness and insensitivity of their heart. 19 And they, [the ungodly in their spiritual apathy], having become callous and unfeeling, have given themselves over [as prey] to unbridled sensuality, eagerly craving the practice of every kind of impurity [that their desires may demand]. 20 But you did not learn Christ in this way! 21 If in fact you have [really] heard Him and have been taught by Him, just as truth is in Jesus [revealed in His life and personified in Him], 22 that, regarding your previous way of life, you put off your old self [completely discard your former nature], which is being corrupted through deceitful desires, 23 and be continually renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh, untarnished mental and spiritual attitude], 24 and put on the new self [the regenerated and renewed nature], created in God’s image, [godlike] in the righteousness and holiness of the truth [living in a way that expresses to God your gratitude for your salvation].
WOW! What Truth ! You and I have to put off the old self, completely discarding our former nature, and in His Spirit put on the new self, created in God's image, in the righteousness and holiness of His truth. No more playing church! Time to "die to self."
Question: will you now, or shortly hereafter, take time with the Holy Spirit and check where there may be any issue with any of the above verses as a result of some old vow or sin pattern? As you have the courage to confess it to Him, He will forgive you (1 John 1:9). You can then replace the stronghold with His eternal Word of God as your path forward to His holiness as a member of His Royal Priesthood!
JOY follows repentance! HALLEULULIAH!!!!!!
*******************
In the shaking that He promised [Hebrews 12:26-29] do you see that His Gift of repentance needs, all the more, from this time forward, to spread to all persons, everywhere? Doesn't it need to spread to all Jews who don't yet know Him, and to a lukewarm "church," filled with many who have not ever even repented (Matthew 4:17; Acts 3:19)?
Please pray to the Lord if He will have you join us in prayers and much needed support, especially to address cholera and the food shortages in Malawi and Zambia. Your gifts fill immediate needs! We have this beautiful prayer from Susan, our sister in North Carolina: " Dear Heavenly Father and God Almighty, Your Word is alive and active and IT saves. As we pray today and in the coming days, I ask You to give ALL the people of Zambia a word. I pray Your Word is so personal that it breaks their hearts for You. I am asking for their deliverance over cholera and sin. Jesus said, “If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it.” I am asking this and so much more in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen
We depend on your gifts, of whatever amount, to seed into this urgent move of His repentance before His soon return. Thank you!
God bless you,
