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-----
It's always time to be bold for Christ. And during these ten days of awe leading up to Yom Kippur today, and on any day afterwards, it's powerful to ask your indwelling Holy Spirit if there's any resistance to hallowing Him.
This approach to freeing up our boldness to hallow Him is especially timely during these times of repentance leading up to Yom Kippur. Whether or not it is a biblical new year, in addition to making a joyful noise " with trumpets and the sound of a horn" (Psalm 98:6), it is certainly a Holy appointed time (a holy Moed) to meet with the Risen Christ/Messiah, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Take time with Him, listening for His Instructions. (Revelation 3: 19-21). Many people like you, in many nations, will take time to observe a National/Global Day of Repentance today, on Sunday, September 24, 2023. Please join us: www.americakneels.com and even more information on www.globalrepent.com..
Moses failed to hallow God in striking the rock twice for water instead of obeying God's clear instructions to speak to the rock for the water to come out. ~Numbers 20:12: " Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron. "Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."
But Elijah, for all his human mistakes, had to have hallowed God when he declared Israel to make a choice between the pagan gods and the One True God. 1 Kings 18: 21-24: "And Elijah came to all the people, and said, 'How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him, but if Baal, follow him.' But the people answered not a word.' Then Elijah said to the people, 'I alone am left a prophet of the LORD, but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men. Therefore let them give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it; and I will prepare the other bull, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it. Then you call on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD, and the God who answers by fire, He is God. So all the people answered and said, ' It is well spoken.'
Just by having the courage to set up the test among pagan gods and the real God, Elijah hallowed God even before fire from God came down: " Then Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me. So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down." 1 Kings 18:30.
Similarly, you and I have opportunities to hallow God, to show Him off, to give Him all glory, among our family, neighbors, church flock, prayer teams, communities, state and nation, as did our forefathers. In that bold act of repentance we hallow God and cleanse as His Bride. He is the soon returning Bridegroom.
Spend time during these ten days, and afterwards, spending time with the Holy Spirit, (Revelation 3:19-21), "dining" with the Risen Christ, having communion, deeply abiding in Him, "chewing over"any earlier hesitancy to hallow Him.
Today is a perfect day to seek the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit as to when--- as have we all---failed to hallow God. You can then confess that sin; He'll immediately forgive you and cleanse you from unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9). Then you can take the next step and repent, truly exercising your free will to remove that blockage, that fear, whatever is the issue, and take on His Holy Spirit boldness for these times. The boldness of the indwelling Holy Spirit will build up your faith. Fear has to go. The Holy Spirit gives each of us power, love, and a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7).
Congratulations ! You will have grown in Christ, more bold in Christ to hallow Almighty God as He gives you His Instructions! He has a call for each of us. (John 15:16).
Whether or not you're jewish, you can celebrate this feast of the Lord, the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur , "afflicting our souls" (Leviticus 23: 27,29,32) on Sunday, September 24, among us, His Body of Christ, His "ecclesia" in every nation. We did replace our jewish roots but need to honor them. And repentance is His gift, not a punishment. More information is on our website: www.americakneels.com./Why September 24. Please join us !
*******************
Isn't it time for personal and national repentance? That's the sole purpose of this ministry: encouraging His Gift of repentance. Instead of reporting on current events, as do many other ministries, we're hoping day after day to seek His Wisdom to grow His repentance remnant in all nations. He's returning soon; we need to get ready as His Bride through His Gift of repentance. Is the Lord asking you to donate to us to encourage His gift of repentance? Thank you for your gift at whatever level.
God bless you,
Pastor Jeff Daly
