Dear Christian Warriors:
The massive fire in California, and other weather-related catastrophes across the USA nation, are a wake up call from the Almighty. The SOLUTION to stop these catastrophes is a spiritual one: His GIFT of repentance ! Each of you, as the repentance remnant, can send more love to others because of your personal repentance, growing in Jesus' holiness. This is more than just prayer; please call, connect, share your love with others who are now so traumatized. It's the goodness of God that leads to repentance.
Each day we are repenting, and then on January 19 we will have a time of national repentance, leading up to a 2 hour zoom call beginning at 6 AM Pacific time January 20. Please go on the website to sign up for the zoom on January 20.
All of the prior "Removing national sins" devotionals, starting on day one on December 5, 2024, are on our website: http://www.globalrepent.com.
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.
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 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.
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 36 is our failure to remove the spirit of mammon, including in His "ecclesia, and thus we are not fully "rich toward God." In the Parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:13-21) the Lord Jesus makes a very strong point: " But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?' So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
Are we laying up treasures for ourselves, or are we rich toward God? Is materialism a major focus of your Christian life? Do you and I value comfort and possessions more than following His call on our lives? Is the "ecclesia" lukewarm? Are you and I like the church in Laodicea? " Because you say, I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing---and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked---I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed, and anoint your eyes with eye salve that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." (Revelation 3:17-22)
A life focused on His Kingdom and His call on one's life will be a life free from materialism and covetousness. You and I have to trust in a loving Father Who is The Provider. Sacrificial giving for the needs of others assures us of treasures that can never be lost. God loves a cheerful giver: " But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work." (2 Corinthians 9:6-8)
Instead of creating disciples with an indwelling Holy Spirit, with a Godly calling, avoiding the spirit of materialism, when we play lukewarm 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, rejecting the spirit of mammon and covetousness. I want to be rich toward You, not laying up a treasure for myself. 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."
