Dear Christian Warriors:
May many have sought the Lord in churches this past weekend, especially in Southern California. May MANY take refuge in the LORD: " I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and fortress; My God, in Him will I trust." (Psalm 91:2). May there be a true mindset change for MANY such as happened to Saul in Damascus: " And Ananias went his way and entered the house, and laying his hands on him he said, 'Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.' Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once, and he arose and was baptized."
(Acts 9:17,18).
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. 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, repenting persons like you and me, please join us, repenting yourself, for your family, for this USA. Join us each day in your 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."
The focus on this day 40 is our national sin of avoiding discussion on Eternal Life only in Jesus. This fire in Los Angeles is a wake up call!
Our culture is drowning in present-day distraction. It's so easy to be addicted to cellphones; politicians posturing, pontificating; personalities who offend us in our families and media and Hollywood. That self focus, those distractions, are exactly where the lying devil wants you and me to focus.
Unlike our forefathers in this nation, rarely---yes there are exceptions, but rarely--- do our pastors preach ETERNAL LIFE ONLY IN JESUS, as did Jesus. As present day disciples you and I have to make that point to everyone possible. Jesus pointed out that for eternal life you and I need to place Him first, even above our love for our families: " And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life." (Matthew 19:29; Mark 10:29,30). Jesus earlier made the point to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and then all things--including your family, for example-- shall be added to you. (Matthew 6:33). And we all know this classic statement by Him: " And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:14-16). Again, Jesus is clear that He alone is the Way to eternal life, not some other "world religion": " My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them our of My hand." (John 10: 27,28). This basic Truth is spoken by the apostle John: " And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life." (1 John 5: 11,12).
All this relates directly to REPENTANCE! Having been made in God's image (Genesis 1:26) all human beings have an eternal spirit. The issue is WHERE that spirit will end up. Will it have eternal life or eternal perishing? Jesus makes it clear, twice in five verses, that repentance is central to that issue: " There were present at that session some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, 'Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish." (Luke 13:1-5).
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, sincerely repenting and then preaching repentance by our words and our witness in new Godly character to others. 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."
****************************
To connect with those so severely impacted with this conflagration in Los Angeles, for this week as the Lord leads, your donations to NDR will go to pastors there in the Los Angeles area who have existing programs to help those in the community. May MANY be physically and spiritually fed. It is the goodness of God which will lead people to repentance. Thank you!
God bless you,
