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-----
President Joe Biden gave an angry "State of the Union" speech the other night which was more like the shouts of an angry teenager who totaled the car, severely injured others, and then blamed someone else for his gross recklessness. This occupant of the White House is clueless or is lying as to our nation's steep decline, and is ignorant as to our nation's Godly roots, and God' Words and already-successful formula to heal a nation.
The counterpart to arrogance is repentance.
A National/Global Day of Repentance, at the grassroots, has been declared for Sunday, March 24, 2024. Here's your invitation for you to participate in a church service or in your own prayer closet:
National/global Day of Repentance: March 24, 2024
The United States of America was created by God's miracles, in His perfect timing, moving through greatly outnumbered, but passionate Holy Spirit-inspired individuals, seeking the Liberty of Christ (Luke 4:18 " He has sent Me... to bring liberty to the captives" ) instead of the tyranny of kings.
Knowing they needed His Hand, the Continental Congress held eight days of "humiliation, fasting and prayer" during the seven year Revolutionary War. After His miracles brought about victory in the War, issues arose between States under the weak "Articles of Confederation." Delegates gathered again at Philadelphia in 1787 to attempt to resolve the divisions. At the beginning of the Convention George Washington, hero of the Revolutionary War, upon being voted head of the Convention, said: " Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair. The event is in the hand of God." When divisions arose, prayers to God each morning were performed; divisions began to be healed. At the conclusion of the Convention in 1787, where by God's Providence a way was found to connect the States into a stronger, liberty-based, union, one lady asked Benjamin Franklin what the delegates had created. Franklin said: " A republic, madam, if you can keep it."
When George Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789 his classic inaugural address cited the Providence of God and His bestowing on us as a nation the "sacred fire of liberty."
Now, 235 years later, a strong case can be made that we've not kept it; we've lost God's Liberty, essentially by leaving God out of our schools and national dialogue and laws. We have disregarded the "hand of God" which George Washington spoke about. A broken border, crime in the streets, catastrophic debt, foreign wars, uneducated, sexually confused children, corrupt politicians, legalized sexual perversions, the ongoing killing of innocents, idols instead of the living God---all point to the imminent failure of this earlier God-based republic. God's judgment is looming.
At the same time, the Living God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, upon which the Unites States of America was based, has a destiny for this nation which is not nearly complete: spreading the Liberty of Jesus Christ to a world starved for His Truth. And that Living God provides in His Word several places where a simple, but profound, process can be taken by which a nation can be forgiven of its sins and healed: repentance.
An entirely pagan and wicked nation, Nineveh, repented and the Lord relented from the disaster He had planned. (Jonah 3:10). Another well known Word says: "if My people called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Our forefathers in this nation knew this process of repentance and used it over 800 times, starting with the Pilgrims over 400 years ago. Congress has instituted national days of prayer, but the last call by the White House or Congress for a national day of prayer, fasting and repentance was in 1918, 106 years ago. We've had national days of prayer, but not as yet days of prayer and repentance.
This year, in 2024, a call has risen at the grassroots for a national day of prayer, fasting and repentance on Sunday, March 24, 2024. That also coincides with the celebration of Purim, based on the Book of Esther, pointing to our nation's Judeo/Christian roots in the Living God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. As a stimulus for a national day of repentance, Purim celebrates the hand of God, and faith and courage in Him, leading to a triumph of good over evil, and victory of a Godly people and nation, precious to the Lord.
We see pastors and priests all over the United States including times of repentance during Sunday church services on March 24. We see ministries promoting this move of repentance among their networks. We pray that despite so many political issues Congress will issue a Resolution encouraging this spiritual solution on March 24 to our nations' dire condition.
Suggested topics and a suggested schedule will be available to any shepherd of any church who asks. We also see hundreds, if not thousands of intercessors in other nations, taking time that day to pray and repent also, praying for His destiny and His Liberty to be restored in this nation, thus making this key day a global, not just a national day of repentance.

In the Book of Jonah, chapter 3, verse 10 it says: "Then God saw their works [Nineveh], that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it."
Please join me in praying and fasting and repenting up to and including Sunday, March 24, 2024. Please join us for this grassroots repentance. http://www.globalrepent.com
