Dear Christian Warriors:
Soon, God willing, there will be a new President with public plans and people seeking to bless this nation. As much as that may be a blessing compared to where this nation now finds itself, the ultimate healing of any nation depends upon the Lord God Almighty. He has given us several places in His Word by which we can follow His Healing process. Our forefathers used His Words on repentance to heal this nation, literally hundreds of times. The classic one is this: 2 Chronicles 7:13,14: "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." Each time the LORD responded, healing and blessing this land He founded by His Miracles.
Where is this cry from our church or political "leaders" today? We have forgotten His Word and our American Christian history, or knowing the Words, we are cowards. In the absence of such a call, you and I at the grassroots are calling for such a National Day of Repentance on January 20, 2025 when the 47th President is set to be inaugurated. We began day one on December 5 suggesting each day a national sin to be removed with repentance. God willing, until the 47th day, NDR will share each day a simple devotional, naming a national sin. Many more than 47 exist !! Make up your own list !
Following the example of Nehemiah, Ezra, and Daniel, please join us, repenting yourself, for your family, for this 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 Australia, Liberia, Malawi and the United Kingdom will join 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, sincerely having repented. May our churches preach 2 Chronicles 7:14 every service. May this process restore the Godly roots of this nation.
All of the prior "Removing national sins" devotionals, starting on day one on December 5, 2024, are on our website: http://www.globalrepent.com. Please go on the website to sign up for the zoom on January 20.
Jesus tells us that in these end times: " Take heed that no one deceives you." (Matthew 24:4). We have to be " strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." (Ephesians 6:10). The strength of a nation is found in the Holy Spirit strength of its true believers in the Messiah/Christ, His "ecclesia."
A national sin to focus on day 35 is our failure in His "ecclesia" to bring people into the Lord's Purpose, His CALLING on their lives. Instead, we typically have been playing church, having participants listen while someone else preaches instead of each of us becoming disciples of the Risen Christ/Messiah, each with a unique CALLING. Titus 2:11-12 (Amplified version) speaks to this: " For the [remarkable, undeserved] grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to reject ungodliness and worldly (immoral) desires, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives [lives with a purpose that reflect spiritual maturity] in this present age,"
Jesus speaks to you and me today in John 15:16,17: "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you, that you love one another."
Similarly, 2 Timothy 1:8, 9 tells us this calling comes from Him: " ....share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began."
You and I are to walk out our calling from Him. "But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches.... You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. Brethren, let each one remain with God in that state in which he was called." (1 Corinthians 7:17, 23, 24).
We are each called "to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with long-suffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling. " (Ephesians 4:1-4). Walking out our callings, we are "partakers of the heavenly calling." (Hebrews 3:1).
Thus this Scripture applies directly to you and me: " Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always even to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:19,20).
Instead of creating disciples with an indwelling Holy Spirit and a Godly calling, when we play church, humanism replaces a national Christ mindset.. This was declared by Francis Schaffer decades ago! https://youtu.be/8F8j4Vg5cyg?si=A-Ro1OTLro8HX3QF
As the Lord leads, please join me in this prayer: " Heavenly Father, In Jesus' Holy Name,
please forgive me, please forgive my family, please forgive my nation, for our failure to be "strong in You and in the power of Your might." Forgive us for playing church instead of truly repenting and humbly seeking Your Kingdom and Your Holy Spirit and then walking out the unique calling You have on each of us once we are in Your Kingdom. Forgive us for not following Your Word. Forgive us for not deeply hallowing You, reverently respecting, really fearing YOU as Almighty God, first in our lives. May I listen to Your Wisdom of Your Holy Spirit and then move, bearing fruit in Your Holy Spirit to be on FIRE for You and Your Kingdom. Restore in us the JOY of Your Salvation, with full authority from You as we return humbly to You. In Jesus' Holy Name above all names, Amen and Amen."
****************************
Even as real cries of famine are reaching us from our repentance pastors in Africa, donations have virtually ceased. Would you please join us in prayer for His Provision to flow through us volunteers to those in need? As we encourage His Gift of Repentance in this new calendar year will you please help us keep HIS Holy Spirit flame lit?
With any gift, as you donate below, you are helping us advance His Gift of repentance. You will receive "fruit that will abound to your account" -AND --"God loves a cheerful giver." (Philippians 4:17; 2 Corinthians 9:7). More requests come in each day for physical and spiritual food, FAR more than we can meet with donations. Your donation of any amount will provide much needed spiritual and physical food.
Will you please help us keep that Holy Spirit flame lit? THANK YOU!
God bless you,
Pastor Jeff
