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-----
During any Feast, such as the Feast of Dedication, it's time to repent, to cleanse one's temple, as well as to pray. Repentance brings more powerful prayers; it's the prayers of a righteous person that avails much. James 5:16.
One area on which many can repent is failing to use spiritual warfare. Throughout His Word, Almighty God has given us His tools to combat the enemy. This is seen in the battle against Amalek. Those now under the demonic control of Hamas, wanting the extermination of the Jews, are under that same spirit. In Exodus 17:8-16 we learn a great lesson:
"8 Now Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim. 9 And Moses said to Joshua, “Choose us some men and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.” 10 So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moses’ hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 13 So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.” 15 And Moses built an altar and called its name,The-Lord-Is-My-Banner; 16 for he said, “Because the Lord has sworn: the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
The battle was won when God was honored. Erecting an altar was Moses' recognition of the presence of God and His Victory, not Moses'. And in verse 14 we see that the remembrance of Amalek is blotted out from under heaven, but the evil behind the battle, the war with the spirit of satan found in Amalek, needs to be fought as a spiritual battle from generation to generation. It is being fought today against Hamas.
Here is a powerful prayer of combatting witchcraft from one of our NDR directors, Stephania. It's appropriate as we cleanse our temples during Hanukkah:
Elohim, all powerful God, we prepare to plunder the camp of the enemy. Your Word gives us instruction on the rules of engagement. We heed Your instructions, we will not become unnecessary casualties of war. We sound the trumpet, Your Shofar, and You join us in battle. (Numbers 10:9) “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. We take up the full armor of God, that we may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand, as we war through our prayers. "( Ephesians 6:12-13)
We declare Your promises. We forbid the spirit of witchcraft, Jezebel and confusion to operate and manipulate our nation. We forbid every scrambling spirit that would attempt to twist the words we pray and try to insert itself against the plans of heaven for this nation. We forbid retaliation by the enemy against us, in the name of Yeshua. We ask You to deliver our nation. (Deuteronomy 18:10). We,Your people, repent for not being the spiritual and moral compass that You have called us to be, for our nation and the world. We repent for walking in the fear of man rather than the fear of God and failing to confront wickedness in high places.
We loose confusion against every satanic and demonic confederacy aligned against our nation, let the secret counsel of the wicked be turned into foolishness, let those gathered against us be scattered. Destroy O Lord and divide their tongues. We rebuke and destroy every seething pot or cauldron stirred up by the enemy against the righteous and our nation. (Job 41:20, Psalm 55:9) We break every witchcraft cauldron stirred up by witches and warlocks in the name of Jesus. We take dominion over all assignments of witchcraft against us and break them by the power of the Blood of Jesus. Have Your warring angels strip these witches of their psychic powers, demon powers and occult powers. (Ezekiel 13:17-23) Lord, visit every witch and warlock in our regions and convict. Let them repent, turn to You, and be saved in Jesus name. AMEN

This Feast of Dedication celebrates God's ongoing Light and Love for all of us once we cleanse our temples. On this upcoming zoom call on the last day of the Feast of Dedication, we will support each other as anyone shares, without going into any unnecessary detail, how she or he has removed any old sin stronghold, and how she or he is now that much more on His narrow path to holiness. All of us fall short of the glory of God. But there is no condemnation, only His Way to lead us to holiness. We need to expose evil even if only in private with the Teacher, the Holy Spirit.
In private times during the call, several minutes with the Holy Spirit, or in sharing what we have removed, thanks to our Teacher, the Holy Spirit, we want to be part of His process: " that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish." (Ephesians 5:27).
As anyone has the encouragement to share among us what they may have confessed and repented of in private, our hearts go out to that sister or brother, and we grow in our love for each other, growing in His Fruit, especially the love and joy of the Lord. As we are temples of the Holy Spirit, once we receive Yeshua/Jesus as Messiah/Lord, cleansing a temple takes on new meaning.
There is a deep joy in cleansing our temples. Our "reasonable service" to God (Romans 12:1) is carried out with a deep joy found nowhere else, as we get closer and closer to Him.
That joy is our strength as we battle the enemy, hallowing Him! Please join us!

In the shaking that He promised [Hebrews 12:26-29] do you see that His Gift of repentance needs, all the more, from this time forward, to spread to all persons, everywhere? Doesn't it need to spread to all who don't yet know Him, and to a lukewarm "church," filled with many who have not ever even repented?
NDR exists, without church or denomination support, to encourage His Gift of repentance to pastors, priests, worship leaders, all believers, in nations everywhere. We depend on your gifts, of whatever amount, to seed into this urgent move of His repentance before His soon return. Thank you!
God bless you,
Pastor Jeff Daly
