Dear sisters and brothers in Christ Jesus, part of a growing repentance remnant globally,
The Living God is so perfect: after repentance comes JOY. After the Day of Atonement God commanded the joyful Feast of Tabernacles.
During this Holy Week, Psalm 118 is read. This amplified version speaks to us all today:
Thanksgiving for the Lord’s Saving Goodness.
118
O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
2 Oh let Israel say,
“His lovingkindness endures forever.”
3 Oh let the house of Aaron say,
“His lovingkindness endures forever.”
4 Oh let those who [reverently] fear the Lord, say,
“His lovingkindness endures forever.”
5 Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
The Lord answered me and set me free.
6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.
What can [mere] man do to me?
7 The Lord is on my side, He is among those who help me;
Therefore I will look [in triumph] on those who hate me.
8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in princes.
10 All nations encompassed me;
In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.
11 They encompassed me, yes, they surrounded me [on every side];
In the name of the Lord I will cut them off.
12 They swarmed around me like bees;
They flare up and are extinguished like a fire of thorns;
In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.
13 You [my enemy] pushed me violently so that I was falling,
But the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.
15 The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous:
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
17 I will not die, but live,
And declare the works and recount the illustrious acts of the Lord.
18 The Lord has disciplined me severely,
But He has not given me over to death.
19 Open to me the [temple] gates of righteousness;
I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lord;
The righteous will enter through it.
21 I will give thanks to You, for You have heard and answered me;
And You have become my salvation [my Rescuer, my Savior].
22 The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief corner stone.
23 This is from the Lord and is His doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This [day in which God has saved me] is the day which the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25 O Lord, save now, we beseech You;
O Lord, we beseech You, send now prosperity and give us success!
26 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord;
We have blessed you from the house of the Lord [you who come into His sanctuary under His guardianship].
27 The Lord is God, and He has given us light [illuminating us with His grace and freedom and joy].
Bind the festival sacrifices with cords to the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I give thanks to You;
[You are] my God, I extol You.
29 O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
********************
It's time to come into His sanctuary under His guardianship. Enter into His Kingdom by repenting.~Matthew 4:17. Then practice repentance regularly to cleanse. He's knocking at the door of our hearts. Open the door so that He will come in and dine with you so that you will be an overcomer and sit on His throne as He overcame and sat on His Abba Father's throne.. ~Revelation 3:20-21.
In this time all across the planet when evil is surfacing so strongly, when the Lord is shaking all that can be shaken, He is still tabernacling with us ! Psalm 61:1- 4 states: "
Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.
Yeshua/Jesus Himself tabernacled with us. John 1: 14 states: " And the Word became flesh and DWELT [tabernacled] among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
And Jesus participated, teaching in the temple in Jerusalem, during the Feast of Tabernacles. "Now the Jews' Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. ....Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught. And the Jews marveled, saying, 'How does this Man know letters, having never studied? Jesus answered them, and said, 'My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I speak on My own authority. He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him......On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, 'If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.' ~ John 7: 2, 14-18, 37-38.
Now that He has created by His blood one new man (Ephesisans 2:15), and now that we gentiles are supported by the root (Romans 11:18) it's time to experience this holy Feast of the Lord. It is a "statute forever in your generations." (Leviticus 23:41). Spend time with the Lord, or with others, having repented, receiving the blessing of His Joy during this holy week, the last feast of the Lord according to the hebrew calendar.

It's not too late to join us to be a part of our global repent team.
And do please join our ending drought project. You can join from any site on the
planet. After this week we will again have times of repentance, with suggested prayer points, to continue cleansing as His Bride for His soon return as the Bridegroom.

Thank you for the several sisters in Christ who responded to our call for funds to print the repentance booklet, "Take the Repentance Route" to be given by the prison Chaplain to thousands of prisoners in Malawi during this revival week. Fruit will ABOUND to their account! (Philippians 4:17; Titus 3:14; 2 Corinthians 9:6-15). May MANY not just in Malawi come to the Lord, or deepen their walk with Him, through this booklet!
God bless you!
