Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant, members of His flock, of which Jesus is the Shepherd (John 10:16), Jesus being the first to preach His gift of repentance (Matthew 4:17), now calling on each of us also to preach repentance (Luke 24:47).
A strong Word in Ephesians 5:6 speaks to us today: " You must let no man deceivingly seduce you with delusional spiritual words, because through these things is coming the wrath for Justice of God upon the sons of disobedience." (Ephesians 5:6 The Pure Word version)
In the Message version Ephesians 5:6 says: " Don’t let yourselves get taken in by religious smooth talk. God gets furious with people who are full of religious sales talk but want nothing to do with him."
A very experienced pastor in New Zealand, Andrew Strom, has a powerful sermon on this very situation in the Body of Christ. We've been preaching only half of the good news; we've dropped out sin and repentance. Jesus is not your "buddy." He is so much more than that; He is Almighty God, now with ALL authority in heaven and on earth.

The Risen Christ rightfully established His Bride already (Ephesians 5:25-27) and rightfully expects a clean Bride, sanctified and cleansed, washed by the water of His Word; He is the soon-coming Bridegroom. It's time to be a member of the Bride and a friend of the Bridegroom as was John the Baptist: "He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled." (John 3:29)
Here's also a recent NDR video showing a "laundry list of sins" according to A.W. Tozer:

******************************
The move of days of national repentance is growing! We had a remarkable time with the Holy Spirit on our October 23 NDR zoom for the USA. The Nehemiah Alliance followed with a powerful gathering at the Washington Mall on October 31. That same day Australia had another national day of repentance. And then on Monday, November 2, South Africa held a national day of repentance zoom where at one point the Holy Spirit moved so strongly we simply spoke in tongues and blew the shofar. This November 29 Australia again will have a national day of repentance, focusing on sexual perversions legitimized and increasingly practiced in that nation. Repentance brings His holiness !!!!!
