Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant, cleansing as His Bride, getting ready for His soon return as our Bridegroom,
For many years now the USA has held a National Day of Prayer on the first Thursday of May. This year it is May 4. Join me in praying that personal repentance will precede prayers, and that speakers will preach one or more of God's Solutions to heal a land. The most familiar is 2 Chronicles 7: 13-14.
The Lord's Words to King Solomon are still true today: " 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." 2 Chronicles 7: 13-14
This year's National Day of Prayer theme comes from James 5: 16b: " The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much."
To begin to express the righteousness of God, one has to remove old sin strongholds with repentance, (2 Corinthians 10: 3-5), replacing that old sin pattern, purifying, with God's Word.
"If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him. Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure." 1 John 2: 29-3: 3.

*************************
On Sunday, April 30, thanks to the Holy Spirit, we had a remarkable zoom call, connecting thirty of His members of His Bride across His planet in times of communion and shared testimonies of repentance. We also declared a New Covenant rightfully honoring the Risen Christ with all authority in our lives and nations (Matthew 28:18). Here's a copy of the call, which included key videos by Pastor Jay Johnston, Chaplain at the Family Research Council, Allan Parker of the Justice Foundation, and a beautiful song by Linda Meyers:

Do you see yourself as part of the growing repentance remnant? We are falling far short each month in our target of $3,000/month to operate this repentance-focused, now global, ministry. With any donation, of even a small amount, you will receive" fruit that will abound to your account." Philippians 4:17.
God bless you,
