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 took his old thinking "captive." 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. It's time to AWAKE, you and I, and all "christians."
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 gives His Way of removing old sin patterns, old strongholds. Here it is in the Complete Jewish Bible version:
For although we do live in the world, we do not wage war in a worldly way; because the weapons we use to wage war are not worldly. On the contrary, they have God’s power for demolishing strongholds. We demolish arguments and every arrogance that raises itself up against the knowledge of God; we take every thought captive and make it obey the Messiah.
Strongholds are a demonic fortress of thoughts and beliefs that control and dictate [whether you are aware of it] your attitudes and behavior. These strongholds filter how you and I view or react to situations, circumstances, or people. Strongholds are established in the mind, possibly as a vow at any early age, handed down from your environment, or other secular sources, lodging doubt and unbelief in the Living God, well before you became a sincere believer in Christ. Satan loves strongholds and wants us to stay in them instead of being liberated by Christ.
That is why you and I are to take every thought captive. Behind a stronghold is a lie, a place where God's eternal Word, His Truth, has been blocked, muted, subjugated, to an unscriptural, confused vow or belief held to be true in your mind. The provisions of God that are ours through Yeshua/Jesus, the Messiah, the Christ of the Living God, are not seen, not attained, not trusted. Until you and I spend time with the Holy Spirit to ask Him where there are old sin patterns, old strongholds, and then join with Him to confess and remove them, our minds continue in these false assumptions, false beliefs. The "weapons" available to pull down such strongholds include: God's Word (Hebrews 4:12,13); the Blood of the cross (Revelation 12:11); the name of Yeshua/Jesus (Mark 16:17); the weapons of our warfare (Ephesians 6:10-20); and the reality that our spirits, once we are in His Kingdom, are filled with the Holy Spirit, which is greater than any spirit in the world, and we-even now-- are alive, a "new man" (Ephesians 4:24), together seated with Christ in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 2:6).
Do you want the JOY of the Lord shown on the man in the above graphic? Repent to make sure you are in Yeshua/Jesus' Kingdom, filled with the Holy Spirit. Then spend time with Him. Allow your Holy Spirit to expose the old strongholds, the lies of the spirit of anti-Christ. Replace the lies with His Word. Make sure your thoughts "obey the Messiah!"
***************************************************
Question: will you now, or shortly hereafter, take time with the Holy Spirit and check where there may be any old vow or false belief or sin pattern? As you have the courage to take that thought, that stronghold, captive, to expose the lie of the enemy, to confess any issue to Him, He will forgive you (1 John 1:9). You can then replace the sin stronghold with His eternal Word of God as your path forward to His holiness (2 Corinthians 7:1) 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 and Greeks" 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 the food shortages in Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe, where inflation has grown 70% in the last few months. Your gifts fill immediate needs to those pastors preaching repentance, Mark 6:12!
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,
