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 first 16 in the amplified version, calling you and me to unity in the Holy Spirit:
So I, the prisoner for the Lord, appeal to you to live a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called [that is, to live a life that exhibits godly character, moral courage, personal integrity, and mature behavior—a life that expresses gratitude to God for your salvation], 2 with all humility [forsaking self-righteousness], and gentleness [maintaining self-control], with patience, bearing with one another in [unselfish] love. 3 Make every effort to keep the oneness of the Spirit in the bond of peace [each individual working together to make the whole successful]. 4 There is one body [of believers] and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when called [to salvation]— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of us all who is [sovereign] over all and [working] through all and [living] in all.
7 Yet grace [God’s undeserved favor] was given to each one of us [not indiscriminately, but in different ways] in proportion to the measure of Christ’s [rich and abundant] gift. 8 Therefore it says,
“When He ascended on high,
He led captivity captive,
And He bestowed gifts on men.”
9 (Now this expression, “He ascended,” what does it mean except that He also had previously descended [from the heights of heaven] into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is the very same as He who also has ascended high above all the heavens, that He [His presence] might fill all things [that is, the whole universe]). 11 And [His gifts to the church were varied and] He Himself appointed some as apostles [special messengers, representatives], some as prophets [who speak a new message from God to the people], some as evangelists [who spread the good news of salvation], and some as pastors and teachers [to shepherd and guide and instruct], 12 [and He did this] to fully equip and perfect the saints (God’s people) for works of service, to build up the body of Christ [the church]; 13 until we all reach oneness in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, [growing spiritually] to become a mature believer, reaching to the measure of the fullness of Christ [manifesting His spiritual completeness and exercising our spiritual gifts in unity]. 14 So that we are no longer children [spiritually immature], tossed back and forth [like ships on a stormy sea] and carried about by every wind of [shifting] doctrine, by the cunning and trickery of [unscrupulous] men, by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything [for personal profit]. 15 But speaking the truth in love [in all things—both our speech and our lives expressing His truth], let us grow up in all things into Him [following His example] who is the Head—Christ. 16 From Him the whole body [the church, in all its various parts], joined and knitted firmly together by what every joint supplies, when each part is working properly, causes the body to grow and mature, building itself up in [unselfish] love.
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
NDR exists, without church or denomination support, without salaried staff, to encourage His Gift of repentance to pastors, priests, worship leaders, all believers, in nations everywhere. 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,
