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 final 12, verses 25-32, in the amplified version, calling you and me to unity in the Holy Spirit, as a new man, never grieving the Holy Spirit:
25 Therefore, rejecting all falsehood [whether lying, defrauding, telling half-truths, spreading rumors, any such as these], speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are all parts of one another [and we are all parts of the body of Christ]. 26 Be angry [at sin—at immorality, at injustice, at ungodly behavior], yet do not sin; do not let your anger [cause you shame, nor allow it to] last until the sun goes down. 27 And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness]. 28 The thief [who has become a believer] must no longer steal, but instead he must work hard [making an honest living], producing that which is good with his own hands, so that he will have something to share with those in need. 29 Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak]. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [but seek to please Him], by whom you were sealed and marked [branded as God’s own] for the day of redemption [the final deliverance from the consequences of sin]. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor [perpetual animosity, resentment, strife, fault-finding] and slander be put away from you, along with every kind of malice [all spitefulness, verbal abuse, malevolence]. 32 Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave you.
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,
