Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant,
Ezekiel 36: 27 and Jeremiah 31: 31-34 are messianic prophecies lived out thanks to Yeshua/ Jesus' perfect obedience, shedding His precious blood for all humankind to be reconciled to the Living God. In so doing He allows the Holy Spirit to come and abide in us if we come into His Kingdom.
Jeremiah 31: 33-34 states: " But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.'"
Ezekiel 36:27 says: " I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them."
Yeshua/ Jesus, the Risen Christ later stated in Acts 1: 4,5,8: " And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, 'which,' He said, ' you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now....But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.'"
So to be a follower of The Way, a true Christ-ian, one must have repented to come into His Kingdom [ Matthew 4:17, Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19 ], truly converted, and then received the POWERFUL, indwelling Holy Spirit. With that POWER, you and I are then witnesses to the end of the earth. In that moment, "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them [the antiChrist spirit], because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." (1 John 4: 4).
Coming from that place of Truth, full of faith, full of the Holy Spirit, we are urged, in the amplified version of Ephesians 6: 18: With all prayer and petition pray [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all God’s people.
Praying in the Holy Spirit then becomes central to spiritual warfare and your everyday prayer life. As you pray in the Holy Spirit you build up your faith (Jude verse 20) and are able to intercede for others. The more you repent, the more you will have His Holy Spirit righteousness; and your prayers " will avail much." " Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." (James 5:16)
Holy Spirit energized prayer is VITAL to be on the offensive to combat the evil all around us ! Many members in "churches" do not yet have the Holy Spirit, not having died to self, repented, and sincerely converted from their agenda, their old selves.
Does this "Holy Spirit prayer weapon" need strengthening in you? Confess that to Your Friend, the Teacher, the Holy Spirit. He will forgive you. ( 1 John 1:9). Then ask Him to help you repent, to replace that weakness with His full power of His Eternal Word. Then act on it !
In so doing, you honor His assignment for us to become more holy as He is holy. Moses' failing to honor the holiness of Almighty God kept Moses out of the Promised Land ! (Numbers 20: 12: " Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, 'Because you did not believe Me, TO HALLOW ME in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.")
With Holy Spirit prayers a basic part of your daily walk with Christ , coming from a clean heart, in faith, in Jesus' Name, according to God's will, who knows if the LORD will then call on you to be obedient to His Instructions, as was the case with Elijah: " Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit."

Here is a current need; please pray and help me help our brother as the Lord leads:
Dear brother Jeffrey,
Greetings,
After a very successful "Uganda Kneels" with people repenting in
tears,the enemy is pushing hard against me.
We had 22 local church denominational representatives including Roman
Catholics priest ,Anglican pastors, Baptists and Pentecostals. There
was repentance, fellowship ,unity and good food. Six government
officials joined us including Police head in that community.Nothing
like that had ever happened before. God's pressence was real and two
families of church leaders got united. It was powerfully.
However,all that came at a cost.Up to now I still have some costs to
meet.The enemy tried to block funding.Not only for the seminar but
litetally everything.The hospital has zero medicine and yet we have
300 children to take care of, the bills have piled up,the car has
developed a gear box problem needing urgent fixing or I cannot move.
It seem the enemy wants to ground me in ministry inspite many open doors. My sponsors in ministry nolonger respond appropriately.
Therefore,I am taking days before the Lord in prayer with fasting. I
am always grateful for your prayer and financial support.please stand
with for basic medicine.About 1.2 million (usd 350 is needed urgently.
May God bless you
Pastor Isaac.Peter Oyako

Luke 8: 2-3 lists those who ministered to Yeshua/ Jesus "from their substance." Those women are a great model of giving today; we don't know how much each gave, but each is now recognized eternally in God's Holy Word.
Question: Do you identify with those mentioned in Luke 8:3? Are you able to provide from your substance, your finances, as a Luke 8:3 person today to advance His gift of repentance? Whatever the amount, if you give with a cheerful heart, fruit will abound to your account. Thanks to you, since January 1 NDR has given 77 gifts totaling $6,565, to ten pastors in eight nations encouraging repentance in their nations. Do you have any portion of the $350 needed for Pastor Isaac in Uganda?
In the spirit of Luke 8:3,
God bless you,
