Dear sisters and brothers in Christ Jesus, part of a growing repentance remnant globally,
Our Lord Jesus/Yeshua, as a sign of the promise of our own resurrection eternally, became "the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming." ~ Romans 15: 20-23.
Pastor Jack Hayford points out in a footnote to the above cite: " The firstfruits are the first ripened part of the harvest, furnishing actual evidence that the entire harvest is on the way. According to Leviticus 23: 4-14, the firstfruits in connection with the Passover were used to consecrate the coming harvest. Jesus died on the Passover, and His Resurrection is a promise of our own resurrection." ~ New Spirit Filled Life Bible, p 1602
Given this wonderful Promise, isn't cleaning up as His Bride the least we can do?
" ...but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, 'Be holy, for I am holy." ~ 1 Peter 1: 15-16.
Repentance draws us closer to Christ !
The Holy Spirit, speaking through Paul in his letter to the Corinthians, 2 Corinthians 7:1, speaks to you and me today: " Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God."
Yes, repentance points us in His Direction. Only He was perfect. However, you and I can take extra prayer time and regularly remove the old sin patterns. Each time we do that we are filled that much more with His Holy Spirit. That's the process of "perfecting holiness."
*****************
Tomorrow, June 2, at 2 PM Eastern time USA we will hold, God willing, another one hour Zoom meeting on a key sin of which we ALL have at least a residue, given that we were all born children of wrath: INIQUITY.
To cleanse to get ready for Him, join me during that meeting in removing any iniquities that may still be part of an old sin pattern. Your privacy will be honored, and at the same time anyone wishing to share will be welcomed. Space may be limited; Pray to see if the Lord would have you join us. JOY FOLLOWS REPENTANCE!
from there you'll receive an email as to the link.

God bless you,

One of our brothers, Pastor Edward in Malawi writes:
We thank GOD for the last week repentance and prayer conference
Few people attended but we prayed for ourselves first
Bishops Albert, Bishop Fedson and myself
The guest rooms that Mrs Janet Doran gave Us to use turned to be prayer cells as we prayed for Global repentance, nations, yOUT, Susan and Deon, Debbie, Julie, Terry, Pastor Jeff and others
There was fire in our hearts to pray
When we clapped hands I. Worship our hands were like AK47 riffles that made lots of noise
The devil could not stand the fire
We prayed and delivered families from witchcraft and illness spirits!
We thank GOD that apart from healing and restoration during the repentance conference, Mrs Janet Doran who provided meals and lodging for Us, paid for me and Albert to attend pastors bookset conference for Malawi in Blantyre. The 80 dollars fees caters for our meals and books this week at the conference
When we were praying at the tea bushes someone we have never met a lady by the name of Lugede wrote that she would like to support part of the next conference on Saturday June 5
We thought it was just a joke!
Today Lugede has funded our transportation of 4 preachers to and from Thyolo during this coming weekend
She also sponsored Us talk time to promote this conference on socio media
We pray more come to help nationalrepentancemalawi and yOUT
Mrs Janet Doran also gave Us few tea to sell to support the ministry thought sales low this time due to covid19
Can't wait for my next trip to Lilongwe to Bless my yOUT Brothers with that book donation and tea
This is what Pastor Jeff has been praying that locals to start helping Us for Luke 8:3 to be real and Phillipians 4;17-19
We also thank Pastor Jeff for sponsoring Transportation during the recent ZOA tea estate repentance conference
Pray for Us remaining with accommodation and few meals budget during sartuday program
Pray for Jesus potato farm doing well according to Pastor Mind from Balaka North

Do you also see repentance as vital for our times? To our knowledge National Day of Repentance is the only Christian ministry focusing solely on personal and national repentance in every nation and applying it in our lives.
No church, no denomination supports us, only YOU! Though we work as volunteers, costs and requests for food pour in each day far beyond our capacity to fulfill these requests. Would you please pray for us? And then give from a cheerful heart as the Lord leads? THANK YOU--whatever the amount you give, you'll receive a blessing--- 2 Corinthians 8: 2-4 and Luke 8:3--- and Fruit that will abound to your spiritual account, Philippians 4:17.
God bless you.
