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-----
Loose, strident words and increasing violence mark the USA today. Protesting ICE operations led to a death yesterday. It's far past time for you and me to use our better angels--the Sword of the Spirit and the whole armor of God-- the Ways of Jesus, including meekness, to bring His Peace again to our nation.
Meekness equals effective spiritual power. Meekness is not weakness but spiritual power under control.
Jesus always showed a greater power than armed might, spiritual power under control, the power of humble wisdom and penetrating love. Even His entry that final week was on a lowly donkey (Matthew 21:5, Zechariah 9:9).
Those evidencing meekness shall inherit the earth: " Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth." (Matthew 5:5).
It's time for repentance, returning to God with a humble, contrite heart, to be evident in each of us and in our "leaders"---in churches and in government servants, including Congress and the White House. May the Gift of repentance be preached in all churches; judgment begins in the house of God.
It's time for a National Day of Humiliation, Prayer and Fasting as was called by Presidents ten times in the USA up to 1918. President Lincoln called for three such days to end the Civil War. Beginning with the Pilgrims this Spiritual Solution of repentance has been used over 800 times in the last 400 years.
250 years ago John Adams understood how to win the battle. Asked how the virtually untrained, unarmed colonists could defeat the British, Adams replied: " We will win the battle if we fear God, and repent of our sins." Using that Wisdom, the Continental Congress held EIGHT days of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer" during the seven year Revolutionary War, ending in God's Miracle Victory.
Today we are engaged in a spiritual war. John Adams' words still apply!
Please join me in this prayer: " Heavenly Father, in Jesus' Holy Name, awaken me and each of us, including all in Congress and in the White House, to the blessings of meekness, humbly calling upon You to heal this nation. Please once again hear from heaven, and forgive our sins, healing our land, as we, Your people called by Your Name, follow Your Word in 2 Chronicles 7:14 to humble ourselves, pray, seek Your face, and repent from our wicked ways. Inspire our "leaders" in church and government to call forthwith for such a national day of repentance. We pray this in Jesus' Holy Name, Amen and Amen."
