Dear Christian Warriors:
Three thousand years ago, the LORD revealed to King Solomon the process by which He would heal a land of wickedness where His people resided. It's obviously still True today: "When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence [ including moral pestilence] among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land." ( 2 Chronicles 7:13,14 NKJV).
Over the past 14 years NDR has called for a number of days of national repentance, both in the USA and other nations. God willing, for the next 35 days, ending on January 20, 2025, the Presidential Inauguration, NDR will share each day a simple devotional, naming a national sin. Following the example of Nehemiah, Ezra and Daniel, we invite you to join us, repenting yourself, for your family, for this nation, in this case the USA. Join us each day in your own prayer closet, or in any group, confessing and repenting for that national sin. Then, starting at 11 AM Eastern time on January 19, NDR will encourage a 24 hour National Day of Repentance, concluding one hour prior to the Inauguration on January 20. Intercessors from other nations will be invited to join us also. The final two hours of the twenty four will be a zoom call to which you're invited, to acknowledge and repent of the sins and to declare our return to the Lord's Godly roots. It's ALL about giving honor to Almighty God and His process set forth in His Word, not to man. True healing of any nation comes from Him when He "hears from heaven" that His people called by His name have humbled themselves, prayed, sought His face, and turned back to Him, truely repented. May this process restore the Godly roots of this nation.
A key national sin to focus on this day 13 is wrath and rebellion. Given the disobedience of Adam and Eve, all humans today are born into wrath and rebellion. David says in Psalm 51:5: " Behold I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me." Ephesians 2:1-3 states: " And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience; among whom we also all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others."
Major national sins have sprung forth as this vital issue has not been addressed. This national sin of wrath and rebellion is related, all too often, to you and me and today's lukewarm Church. Sadly, pastors, priests, elders, worship leaders in leadership in the "ecclesia" in this nation generally have played church, even with pride and the spirit of mammon, and have not modeled and taught the removal of wrath, and its replacement with the Truth: the Blood of the Lamb, the Gift of Repentance, true conversion (Matthew 18:3, Acts 3:19), and the fullness of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Only with the Holy Spirit can wrath and rebellion be removed: " Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace." (James 3:13-18.)
****************************
Please join me in this prayer: Heavenly Father, in Jesus' Name, please forgive me, please forgive my family, please forgive my nation for failing to teach and exhibit the Gospel and the Word of God. And please forgive us for allowing this mindset of wrath and rebellion now to grow among us, especially among young people who do not know You. Forgive us for failing to teach our children Who You Are, and Your abundant LOVE. We are supposed to be salt and light, and light has no course with darkness. True Christians must not compromise, and we must PRESS ONWARD until this scourge of wrath, rebellion and murder, like slavery, has been expunged from our nation. May we remove hatred and murder from our hearts; may we teach our children to LOVE, not hate. In Jesus' Holy name above all names, Amen.

A dear brother, Joe from Weston, Florida, has written the following: This is so needed—thank you so much for this work and this word. This email stirred my heart this morning. My family recently went to St Augustine to visit one of the first sites where this land was dedicated to Jesus Christ and there is a cross placed there. Once again we consecrate with Jean Ribalt and so many others this land to Jesus and His mission of redemption to the whole world (Mt 28:18-20, Romans 1:5, 16:26) of which it is my firm belief that the best and most forward moving (Gospel days) are still to unfold. It is for the glory of God and so very clear in scripture. We will pray and move with great conviction and alacrity to that end. 🙏🙏🙏 That Jesus is Lord and all is to come under His Name is the plan for all ages—America has a special role and calling to fulfill this. We must pray and consecrate ourselves, family, nation (and all else) to this purpose. Ephesians 1:10,11.
If you can begin to see how vital and powerful is the Lord's gift of repentance, you're part of the "advance team" awakening His Church, building up the Gift of repentance for personal and national transformation in all nations. From testimonies we receive each day, especially from Africa, we are watching as His Gift of Repentance has been lit, thanks to you in His "advance team." Please support this powerful move of the Lord, whatever the amount, as did those 3 women who advanced His Kingdom, when He walked among us (Luke 8:2,3). With any gift, as you donate below, you will receive "fruit that will abound to your account."
God bless you,
Pastor Jeff
