Dear Global Christian Warriors,
Matthew 22: 1-14, the Parable of the Wedding Feast, calls each of us to be ready for Him:
" And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said:
' The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come.
Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ' Tell those who are invited, 'See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.' But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business.
And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Then he said to his servants, ' The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.'
So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.
So he said to him, ' Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless.
Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' For many are called, but few are chosen.'"
The call to come into His Kingdom has gone out to many, but only those who have truly converted, having died to self and sincerely repented, and humbly believing in the Risen Christ as Lord, have come into His Kingdom, and have put on His wedding garment.
Righteousness, faithfulness, and obedience to the will of God may be the key threads in His wedding garment. The more you and I repent, spending time with Him, "dining" with Him [Revelation 3:20], becoming an overcomer of old sin patterns [2 Corinthians 10: 3-5; Revelation 3:21] , the more threads in our wedding garment.
He sees us as His Bride; He is the soon-coming Bridegroom.

Do you want to find others repenting to strengthen your own times of repentance? Please email us for information, pastorjeff@repentday.com, use our repentance materials on our website, and join us in our several weekly repentance calls.
Do you 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.
In Luke 8:3 we see three women who understood the mighty move of God in front of them and wished to provide "from their substance." The Lord Jesus tells us in John 14:12 that he who believes in Him will do greater works for the Kingdom because He is now with the Father. We believe this move of repentance, now bursting forth in Africa, is such a work.
Would you please pray for us? And then give from a cheerful heart as the Lord leads? THANK YOU!--whatever amount you give, we pray that 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.
