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 time to stop playing church. Jesus/Yeshua could not be more clear: " Repent, the KINGDOM of heaven is at hand." (Matthew 4:17). And then at Matthew 6:33: " But seek FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." It's time for Kingdom culture and His Kingdom Covenant to come to every person and nation, jew and gentile. God's reign still awaits its consummation by our joining and then advancing His Kingdom. The following "Order in the Court, The Call of Repentance" by Stephania Grani, shofarsounder, focuses on the Kingdom:
Shalom Praying Friends,
Picture if you will a crowded courtroom where a bailiff stands at his desk and calls the court into session. The judge enters the courtroom and sits in place on an elevated platform where he can look over all the court and he nods to the bailiff to begin. The bailiff calls a case and the process of trial hearing begins. Now this is a simplistic scenario that I have described for you. There is a host of other events that have occurred prior to this. An action or event has occurred of lawlessness. What is that? You may well ask. Well it is a violation of law. Period. Generally, a report is written and a suspect is identified. An accusation is leveled. The suspect is held to answer and is found either innocent or guilty. The guilty person is then encouraged to admit guilt and is often afforded the opportunity to repent and ask forgiveness. A sentence may be assigned or probation or even time served declared depending on behavior and time incarcerated.
The is a very broad and general description of a more complex set of procedures. In the Courts of Heaven, we as sinners come before a just Judge, our heavenly Father YHWH. We as sinners violate the laws and commands that the Lord has declared we are to observe and obey. Because of the Blood sacrifice of Yeshua our Savior we are given the opportunity to repent for those acts of lawlessness. In this new covenant that we have been given, we no longer have to offer up a sacrifice of an animal in order to be forgiven of these violations of law. We simply need to humble ourselves and repent from the heart for violating the laws of God and ask His forgiveness as we changed our way of doing things.
Imagine, if you will, that YHWH hears your prayer of repentance in heaven and sighs in relief saying “Thank goodness he/she got it right, they have repented and now I can get on to my business and answer their prayers. I will show myself strong on their behalf!” Wow could it actually be that simple? I suggest that, yes, it can be and shall be if we repent of our sins. Many times when contracts are being negotiated, certain stipulations must be agreed on and carried out before the final action, or desired result can be achieved. This is such a case.
The moral condition of our nations is a reflection of a sin issue more than any other cause. It’s much deeper than who the governing authorities are or who are the justices of the courts and who are legislating the laws of the land. It starts with us… Are we complying with the stipulations of law set down by our Righteous Judge? Is that why sometimes it seems as though our prayers are not being answered and our families, churches and nation are getting worse and worse.
When we admit and recognize our sin violations of His law and we repent of our sins, those stipulations are met and it frees up our Judge YHWH to act on our behalf, to take action that will bless the Kingdom of Heaven, to answer the desires of your heart and needs that are in accordance with His will. There is no sin too small or too big that we should not repent for. You may say, “Well that's being legalistic.” But in fact the accuser of the brethren is a legalist. And he will use any chink in your armor or walk through any open door in order to grind away at your life and it will block the answering of your prayers because satan will point out that fact to Him.
The enemy of our soul searches for minutiae to accuse you and when he doesn’t find enough in your life he’ll start searching the lives of your ancestors. Since the day that the Holy Spirit commissioned me to start this ministry of sounding the shofar He has always instructed, “Tell them to Repent! the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!” It has been consistent through the years and has not changed. And he started with me. Sometimes I’ve wondered, “Lord do I ever get to move off this street named Repentance?” But it has certainly cleaned up my spiritual life and made me stronger in my faith and more certain that my prayers will be answered. And I am determined to finish my race well.
Before we call others into repentance, we must complete a very important action and that is to repent of our own sin. The pot cannot call the kettle black when in fact it’s just as dirty. Some examples of big and small sins are as follows: fear, profane or filthy language, hate, participation in secret societies like freemasonry/eastern star, abortion, deception, lying to get out of jury duty, thievery, taking office supplies from work to home for personal use, coming in late to work but writing on your timecard that you were on time, lying or exaggerating, wounding with words, anger/rage, jealousy, fornication, adultery, sexual perversion, breaking a vow, being disobedient when the Lord has given you clear instruction of what to pray and where to pray, unloving actions towards one another, blaspheming the Holy Spirit, murmuring against authority, deliberately writing a check knowing that you had insufficient funds to cover it or failed to pay debts after signing agreements and making no effort to correct the situation, gossiping, rebellion/witchcraft. How many of us are quick to point the finger but avert our own eyes when we look in the mirror?
Days seem to be getting shorter and time is flying. Get yourselves and your houses in order. Call your houses, churches and ministries into order with the King of Kings and His commands and His instructions. Walk in the spirit of the living God. When those are in order, we can legally call this nation into order. When we redeem ourselves and this nation through repentance the Kingdom culture is established.
Now as I sound the shofar, let court come into session as we repent of our sins! By the sounding of the shofar the Lord hears in heaven and remembers His covenant with us and battles on our behalf and answers our call.
Prayer of Repentance:
Leviticus 18:25-28: For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you.
Father God, I just want to thank you for the Blood of Jesus Christ. I want to put everyone and everything in my life under the Blood, including my household, my family, my spouse, my children, my grandchildren, relatives, every person in ministry, every person connected to me, and every person that You have put into my life as a divine relationship.
Father I ask that you cover every area of my spirit, soul and body with the Blood of Jesus. Especially every area in me that has sinned and I have not fully repented, or I am not fully aware of what my ancestors have done, and these things are still held against me in the spirit realm. I am willing to repent of everything that I do not know yet, that I am aware of and that I have not had opportunity up to now to deal with. I want to deal with it and am giving you permission Lord, show me, in Yeshua’s name. (At this point sit quietly before the Lord and wait as He shows you areas of sin that you need to repent of. Take as long as is needed, do not rush)
Father I recognize that I am a sinner and I am turning away from and renouncing the the sin of ____________________________. I ask Your forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ. I ask as well for forgiveness for my ancestral line on my mother’s side and father’s side, all the way back to Adam and Eve, all sins known and unknown. I recognize that these sins have caused division between You and I and have created an unholy alliance with the enemy of my soul, satan. It has caused many prayers to go unanswered and in fact has created an unclean heart in me.
Now Father, with Your grace, cover every chink in my armor and close every open door of unrighteousness. Anything of myself that gives the enemy ammunition against me, I am trusting You to make up the lack in me, in Yeshua’s name. Father I want a new beginning starting today. Cleanse me and heal me of all my iniquity. Crush every stronghold with Your love. Create in me a new heart and a right spirit
within me. In the areas that I have been weak, You are my strength, my strong tower. Correct my mind and thought process to come into alignment with Your thoughts because they are good towards me. Let me see the hope of my future with You. Let me be a light in a dark and fallen world. Let me be the change I want to see in the earth
In Yeshua’s name, let Your kingdom come and Your will be done! Here on earth as it is in heaven. Kingdom culture and Kingdom covenant come to our nations. Come to our hearts and to our homes, to our churches, to our states, to our world. Kingdom of Heaven advance and Elohim let Your glory come! Hallelujah!

Join us, praying for Almighty God's Victory in Israel, physically and spiritually. Pray for His miracle safe return of ALL the hostages in Gaza. Pray that many will come out of the anti-Christ spirit in islam, and other man's religions, and come into His Kingdom. Pray that as many as possible will awake and choose His eternal gift of Life, coming into His Kingdom, even through this war, even through this severe shaking. "Since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire." (Hebrews 12:28-29).
******************************************
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? 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! NDR exists, without church or denomination support, without salaried staff, 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!
God bless you,
Pastor Jeff Daly
