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. Over a century ago a Pentecostal move of the Holy Spirit was born in Los Angeles on Azuza Street. A Holy Spirit was so strong that it appeared as if flames were coming off of the roof where services were held. Today Los Angeles is far better known for trash Hollywood movies and the global center of the porn industry. The anti-Christ spirit has grown thicker and thicker in this Los Angeles area. The Body of Christ having failed to repent, God's Judgment was overdue.
Judgment is that faculty-found always in God and sometimes in persons full of the Holy Spirit---that produces decisions based on justice, righteousness, truth, fairness and equity. God is a God of judgment. (Isaiah 30:18). Judgment rectifies imbalance and set things right again. If punishment is what is required to rectify things, then judgment brings punishment. "For when Your judgments are in the Earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness ." (Isaiah 26:9)
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, 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 day 41 is our national sin of avoiding public discussion on Jesus' LOVE, including His Love symbolized in Communion at that Passover Last Supper.
As quiet little church mice, unlike our forefathers in this nation, we are today so often afraid to speak publicly about the LOVE of Jesus! It has dropped out of our public dialogue. Virtually all schools are quiet on this topic. Murders by a fifteen year old just happened at a "christian" school. But as His disciples, you and I are called to go out into our neighborhoods, into our schools, out of our four walls of our church, to pray for others, to preach the gospel with our Godly love, causing life transformations as the Lord may lead, giving all glory to Him. Luke 9:1,2 speaks to you and me today: "Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick."
In sharp contrast to the anti-Christ spirit in the world, the Word in Mark 6:12,13 also is directed to you and me: " So they went out and preached that people should repent. And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them." The Word in 2 Timothy 4:2 also applies to you and me as today's disciples: " Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and teaching."
Your witnessing will be stronger and stronger as you study and experience the Love of Jesus at the Last Supper, on the Passover "Day of Unleavened Bread," on the night when He was betrayed. Instead of being drawn to our secular culture, drowning in present-day distraction, a deeper understanding of Communion will grow His love in you, growing you all the more into one of His ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20). You will be taking in more of His love, more oil into your lamps, ready for the bridegroom. (Matthew 25:1-13).
Unlike our forefathers in this nation, rarely---yes there are exceptions, but rarely--- do our pastors preach the LOVE of Jesus, including the deep meaning of the "Last Supper" and Communion. It is rarely taught in depth; if it's done at all, it's often a short ritual that can become superficial. Here is an excellent recent teaching by our sister in Christ, Susan Hammer: https://youtu.be/yhdI_36psHE
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, especially your LOVE. Forgive us for not following Your Word including Your Words on the Last Supper. May we eat bread and drink the cup, the new covenant in Your blood, in remembrance of You. 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 Holy Spirit-filled 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,
