Dear Christian Warriors:
May many seek the Lord in churches this weekend, especially in Southern California. The massive fire in California, and other weather-related catastrophes across the USA nation, are a wake up call from the Almighty. Even as our hearts go out in compassion to all those impacted, God is in authority (Matthew 28:18), and God is not mocked. In Malachi 3:1-2 and in Hebrews 12:29 we see there are times He is a refiner's fire, a consuming fire. The SOLUTION to stop these catastrophes is a spiritual one: His GIFT of repentance, leading as many as possible to His Kingdom and His indwelling Holy Spirit Wisdom ! Yes, common sense is needed and was lacking by many "woke" leaders. But even deeper, there was no Holy Spirit Wisdom to put in place His priorities to protect and bless all concerned.
Each of you, as the repentance remnant, can send more love to others because of your personal repentance, growing in Jesus' holiness. Please pray for those impacted to assure them that God loves them and hasn’t forgotten them. “The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. … For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You” (Psalm 9:9–10, NKJV).
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. Romans 2:4
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, persons like you and me, 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 38 is our failure in today's culture to show, especially to our youth, the Holy Spirit fruit of His JOY.
As it was with Nehemiah, (Nehemiah 8:10), the JOY of the Lord is our strength. Having publicly repented and sealed a new written Covenant, when Nehemiah dedicated the rebuilt wall in Jerusalem: " the singers sang loudly with Jezrahiah the director. Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women and the children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off." (Nehemiah 12:42,43).
JOY is a divine quality of character, rooted in the Holy Spirit. It's possessed and given only by God. For Jesus, bringing in as many humans as possible into eternal fellowship with the Father was His delight (Hebrews 12:2), even though the Cross was the excruciating means to that eventual joy. Jesus defines joy in John 15: 9-11: " As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full."
His JOY is different from man's occasional happiness. To begin to restore the Godly roots of this nation members of our families who don't yet know Jesus, our neighbors, all other people, especially youth, need to see this deep, satisfying Godly JOY in you and me. The goodness of God leads to repentance (Romans 2:4).
One key to this Godly JOY is finding your unique calling: " 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." (John 15:16,17). Finding that unique calling, realizing He knew you in your mother's womb (Psalm 139:13), gives eternal JOY in your heart, deep in your soul, regardless of circumstances (John 16:22-24). As you and I move in His righteousness to advance His Kingdom, our joy becomes full through experiencing the Risen Christ's own JOY within us.
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, including Your Holy Spirit Fruit of JOY. 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."
