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-----
Luke 13:23-24 AMP
And someone asked Him, “Lord, will only a few be saved [from the penalties of the last judgment]?” And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door [force aside unbelief and the attractions of sin]; for many, I tell you, will try to enter [by their own works] and will not be able.
This scripture in Luke 13 encourages us today - to do our utmost best - as much as we can from our own strength to ensure we live a Holy Life !
Now, this might sound like it is "contradicting" the teachings from Scripture that Salvation is "only by Grace - through Faith - and not by ourselves" (Eph 2:8) - and that there is nothing I can do about it.
Now yes, Jesus / Yeshua most definitely did everything He could and had to on that cross, through everything He suffered - to ensure our forgiveness and salvation.
But, let's look at this understanding and compare it to Jesus' /Yeshua's words in Luke 13:
He is saying in Luke 13 that we need to STRIVE to ENTER through the Narrow Door... Meaning that He is in fact "hinting" here that we can also "do something" from our side... It isn't all just up to Jesus' / Yeshua's sacrifice only - but we actually have some "choice" in the matter about our salvation.
So the question is: What specifically is He trying to tell us ?? It sounds like Jesus / Yeshua is contradicting some of the scriptures that the Apostle Paul wrote. Meaning - Did the Apostle Paul mis-understand something ??
Definitely not!! If we read John 6:28-29 - Jesus tells us what we need to DO: "Then they asked Him, “What are we to do, so that we may habitually be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered, “This is the work of God: that you believe [adhere to, trust in, rely on, and have faith] in the One whom He has sent.” "
Thus, our EFFORT or WORK we need to put in, is Working on our FAITH in God !
That means - it isn't about doing anything physical or following any religious practices or even obey the law! None of it can guarantee our salvation!! 'Cause if we do any of it to get "recognized" or "approved" by God, in order for God to save us, then we miss the point completely.
For Faith really means TRUSTING GOD absolutely - even when we don't see what we believe God for as yet (Heb 11:1) - meaning also there can't be any hidden forms of Doubt, Fear or Unbelief hiding anywhere in our hearts.
And this is where Repentance is required - as we need to look at our hearts in depth, with the help of the Holy Spirit - searching our hearts if there is still any forms of Fear, Doubt or Unbelief hiding somewhere. And when we find it, we need to "work" at it and getting it out of our lives.
But, in order to identify these points, we need to scrutinize our every thought, word and behavior - which are not in alignment with God's Will and Word. For any sinful thought, word or behavior will cause either Guilt or Fear in our hearts which will produce Doubt - which ultimately is an indication of Unbelief in our hearts!
And that is "how we do our part" in "working out our salvation" like the Apostle Paul suggested to the Philippians church (Phil 2:12). The amplified bible even adds the following afterwards "[that is, cultivate it, bring it to full effect, actively pursue spiritual maturity] with awe-inspired fear and trembling [using serious caution and critical self-evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ]."
And that is the secret - Actively Pursue Spiritual Maturity ! For when we "work hard" at becoming Spiritually MATURE in the Will and Word of God, we will become like a person that James 3:2 is talking about that we are "able to bridle your whole body" - meaning we are able to keep ourselves under control at all times.
But we can only do this with the help of the Holy Spirit - working & praying through regularly on different Repentance points - dealing with one point at a time - all helping us to grow closer in our Relationship to the Lord and focusing more and more on Holy Living - one day at a time. "Be ye Holy as He is Holy" (1 Pet 1:15-16)
And that is also the message what our Repentance Pastors are preaching in Africa, specifically in Liberia - encouraging people over and over to return to God - and come back into their Relationship with God. As many were once attending church, but drifted away - not understanding why they need to go to church.
And as Evangelist William Dunbar and his team are moving around from one area to the next, people all over start returning to church, and his church and team are starting to increase. But it is also impacting churches in these different areas.
And thus, preaching repentance is the best way to increase your church and your ministry team. Little by little - it brings Growth and Increase - returning peace into the communities. But it asks for people to be willing to preach in season and out of season - under very difficult situations and conditions, and they need support to keep them moving to the different areas. As there are always costs involved: in traveling, sound equipment, food and water for the team, and even preaching materials - including bibles, etc.. And facing all kinds of weather conditions - dealing with the harshness of nature - and still be willing to go out to preach.
And with Liberia being a very poor country, with a history of slavery and struggling, it sure isn't easy to make a proper living, or to go out week after week and preach in the market places, slums, and very dark areas. But with help from faithful Donors and Intercessors across the globe, we believe this team can thrive - proving that God's Word is true, and that God's Blessings will follow anyone who commits their life to the growth and expansion of His Kingdom.
Here follows a letter from Evangelist William Dunbar, what he now needs...
Glory hallelujah hallelujah 🕊️🔥🔥💦
Earnestly praying firstly for the purchase of the land, as property like these in Our Blessed Nation Liberia West Africa don't stay being available for a long time. As everyone in Africa has seen and known the value and important of either city or farm land God's Anointed. We are earnestly praying for God's supernatural intervention financially through our incredible, potential And cognitive NDR donors for the immediately purchasing of our Blessed Land - that by God's divine grace and leading be used for both farming as well as National Day Of Repentance preaching and teachings Center. Which we know and are convicted that it is very possible by your Leadership because of your kindness and heartbeat for this Unique, divine life transforming Movement of God Almighty across the Globe 🌎.
We're so privileged and grateful for you that through you - our Moses - and the kindness and tireless efforts of our Blessed Sister Susan Hammer we are more than able to make more than this happen right here in West Africa LIBERIA through the precious Holy Spirit empowerments as well.
Just imagine God's Anointed, having a wonderful farming ongoing here fruitfully and as well as having a very good looking strong truck here, Using it for the glorification sake of God Almighty by farming, Evangelism and as well as actively keeping our Blessed Unstoppable NDR Preaching and teaching Center by making sure we get out there - finishing by God's divine grace through faith by the precious Holy Spirit empowerments as well as trusting God Almighty for the increasement of born again Laborers not greedy, selfish and self-centered joining us to take this blessed Most needed last days Repentance preaching and teachings across Liberia West Africa 🇱🇷 and beyond in God's divine timing and seasons by His divine grace, wisdom, Sense of directions, protection, endurance, courage and revival Fire 🔥.
Meanwhile, this blessed Nation Liberia West Africa was graciously built on "Godly Principles" but because of greed has been tempered with which we still got more than power through CHRIST JESUS/YESHUA to turn it over to the Lord Jesus Christ by righteousness and faith through totally Repentance.
What hurting me more is the antichrist so called Islamic group - called Muslim - who wants to take our country over into the dark 🌑 Kingdom of Satan the devil which we as the Army 🪖 of the Living God of Isaac, Abraham and Jacob of Israel 🇮🇱 will never allow! Maybe at the back of us when the Sovereign LORD JESUS CHRIST/YESHUA one faithful day calls us home which by the Eyes 👀 of Faith by our United and undivided mind will take over in JESUS CHRIST matchless and undefeated!
By God's divine grace and leadings by His divine protection and guidance we were out again today and decided doing picture for you as a greeting.
Thanks.
Gratefully yours:
Evangenlist William Joshua Dunbar Sr.
National Coordinator West Africa LIBERIA KNEELS-NDR TEAM 🇱🇷
