Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant, members of His flock, of which Jesus is the Shepherd (John 10:16), Jesus being the first to preach His gift of repentance (Matthew 4:17), now calling on each of us also to preach repentance (Luke 24:47).
If a nation turns from evil, the Lord will relent of the disaster He thought to bring upon it. We are praying that the USA will repent, turn from evil and in the process will elect Godly public servants.
May we today not be like those in Jeremiah's time. Look at Jeremiah 18:1-18, how Jeremiah's Word from the Lord is rejected and he is persecuted:
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will make you hear My words.” Then I went down to the potter’s house, and saw that he was working at the wheel. But the vessel that he was making from clay was spoiled by the potter’s hand; so he made it over, reworking it and making it into another pot that seemed good to him. Then the word of the Lord came to me: “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?” says the Lord. “Look carefully, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel. At one moment I might [suddenly] speak concerning a nation or kingdom, that I will uproot and break down and destroy; if that nation against which I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent and reverse My decision concerning the devastation that I intended to do. Or at another time I might [suddenly] speak about a nation or kingdom that I will build up or establish; and if they do evil in My sight by not obeying My voice, then I will reverse My decision concerning the good with which I had promised to bless them.
Now then, say to the men of Judah and to the citizens of Jerusalem, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Behold, I am shaping a disaster and working out a plan against you. Turn back, each of you from his evil way; correct your habits and change your actions for the better.”’ But they will say, ‘That is hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us will act in accordance with the stubbornness of his evil heart.’
“Therefore thus says the Lord,‘Ask now among the nations, Who has heard of such things? The virgin Israel Has done a very vile and horrible thing.
‘Will the snow of [Mount] Lebanon melt and vanish from its rocks [which tower above Israel]? Will the cold, rushing waters of foreign lands [that flow down from the distant land] be dried up? Yet My people have forgotten Me; They burn incense to worthless gods, They have stumbled from their ways From the ancient roads, To walk in pathways, Not on a highway, Making their land a desolation and a horror, A thing to be hissed at perpetually;
Everyone who passes by will be astounded And shake his head [in scorn].
‘I will scatter them like an east wind Before the enemy; I will show them My back and not My face In the day of their disaster [says the Lord].’
”Then [my enemies] said, “Come and let us work out schemes against Jeremiah. Surely the law is not going to be lost to the priest [as Jeremiah predicts], nor the counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come and let us strike him with our tongue [by making charges against him before the king], and let us ignore anything he says.”
************************************************
In contrast to those in Jeremiah's time may we now repent! May we follow God's Word, 2 Chronicles 7:13,14, instead of "each of us acting in accordance with the stubbornness of his evil heart."
We are calling again for a National Day of Repentance on Friday, October 23.
You can participate in your prayer closet, with a prayer group, or join us via our zoom call @ 12noon Eastern Time. We will repent over five key national sins: the failure to stand 100% with Israel; the killing of innocents; idolatry; the legalization of sexual perversions; and the failure of the pastors in the Body of Christ to obey Jesus' command in Luke 24:47 and Matthew 28:19,20 to teach repentance for the remission of sins and to bring in disciples baptized with the Holy Spirit into Jesus' Kingdom.
Having repented, having been that much more cleansed from our sins as the Lord forgives us, our prayers will be more effective: James 5:16 tells us that it's the effective, fervent prayers of a righteous person that avails much.
On the zoom we will then make Declarations to return to our Godly roots, including having many vote for Bible-based godly candidates in all the upcoming elections in November.
Please join us today !!
