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-----
Romans 13:3-4 is in place now and for eternity: " For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil."
Deuteronomy 32:43 is clear: " Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people; For He will avenge the blood of His servants, and render vengeance to His adversaries; He will provide atonement for His land and His people."
God is now using the IDF in Israel, in this war started by Hamas and Iran, as an avenger to execute wrath on all those who practice evil.
A key part of the "model prayer," the Lord's Prayer, is contained in this verse given to us by Yeshua/Jesus: " And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." (Matthew 6:13). And the Lord repeats this in His prayer to His Father in John 17:15: " I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one."
A classic verse calling us to avoid the evil one is Romans 12:21: " Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." This points you and me away from the evil one, by adopting His Way set forth in Romans 12:1-2: " I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
In that Way--- He is the Way, the Truth and the Life- John 14:6--- we can fulfill 1 Corinthians 13:4,5: " Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil."
1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 also confirms that God calls each of us to sanctification, to holiness, and is the avenger of all evil. He does away with evil by Himself; He also calls us to join Him in defeating the enemy: "Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness. Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit."
The growing Body of Christ, you and I today, are then urged again to stay away from the evil one in 1 Thessalonians 5:22: "Abstain from every form of evil."
Check now with your Teacher, the Holy Spirit, to see if there is any remnant of the spirit of evil in your mind and heart. You can then confess it; He is always faithful to forgive you. (1John1:9). You can then take the next step and sincerely repent from that old sin pattern, replacing that error, that old filter of the Truth, that evil, with His eternal Word as your path forward. You've then cleansed that much more as His Bride!
We have this song from our brother Baruch in Israel to remind us of the power of Almighty God, and to return to Him:

The ICEJ is hosting its Global Prayer Gathering DAILY until further notice."We are committed to stand with Israel in prayer. We would love for you to join us for timely updates, prayer, and worship. Please join us daily at 9:00 a.m. (ET) at icej.org/ICEJGlobalPrayer."
*******************
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?
When we seek to satisfy our own desires first, we will be in want; but when we give our first and best to God, we will have "an abundance for every good work." (Matthew 6:33, 2 Corinthians 9:8).
NDR exists, without church or denomination support, 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!
Donations have stopped, and are almost frozen, except for a very small handful who see His Hand in this ministry. Please pray to the Lord if He will have you join us in prayers and much needed support.
And are you called to join me and Susan Hammer in South Africa to help lead this move of repentance? In Luke 8:3 we learn of three people "and many others" who supported the advance of Jesus' Kingdom. In a similar analogy, we are seeking a third person, or more, who will help us advance His Kingdom today. Please pray to see if He is calling you also to this powerful movement to restore His Gift of Repentance.
God bless you,
