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-----
Between now and the celebration of Passover, ending April 29, 2024 (Kaf-Alef B'Nissan, 5784), one main focus, God willing, at National Day of Repentance is to encourage, day after day, the removal of sin patterns, so that you and I can begin to experience the joy of the Lord (John 15:11) seen in the joy in this man in the above graphic. And in the shaking that the Lord is doing (Hebrews 12:26-29) you will then, without old false sin patterns, much more easily discern His Truth, come closer to Him, cleansing as part of His Bride. One sister in Christ has written about issues in our nation: " The real threat is the veil of deception over minds and then the refusal to accept facts when evil is exposed when it contradicts what we have believed." Sin strongholds, false beliefs, block Truth.
Sin strongholds are false beliefs picked up at some point in our minds which, until removed by the Holy Spirit and our free will decision to repent, still govern our responses, still mute or cover up God's Truth in His Word. One of our recent NDR articles said this:
Strongholds are a demonic fortress of thoughts and beliefs that control and dictate [whether you are aware of it] your attitudes and behavior. These strongholds filter how you and I view or react to situations, circumstances, or people. Strongholds are established in the mind, possibly as a vow at any early age, handed down from your environment, or other secular sources, lodging doubt and unbelief in the Living God, well before you became a sincere believer in Christ. Satan loves strongholds and wants us to stay in them instead of being liberated by Christ.
That is why you and I are to take every thought captive. Behind a stronghold is a lie, a place where God's eternal Word, His Truth, has been blocked, muted, subjugated, to an unscriptural, confused vow or belief held to be true in your mind. Where strongholds exist, the provisions of God that are ours through Yeshua/Jesus, the Messiah, the Christ of the Living God, are not seen, not attained, not trusted. Until you and I spend time with the Holy Spirit to ask Him where there are old sin patterns, old strongholds, and then join with Him to confess and remove them, our minds continue in these false assumptions, false beliefs. The "weapons" available to pull down such strongholds include: God's Word (Hebrews 4:12,13); the Blood of the cross (Revelation 12:11); the name of Yeshua/Jesus (Mark 16:17); the weapons of our warfare (Ephesians 6:10-20); and the reality that our spirits, once we are in His Kingdom, are filled with the Holy Spirit, which is greater than any spirit in the world, and we-even now-- are alive, a "new man" (Ephesians 4:24), together seated with Christ in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 2:6).
The classic scripture to remove strongholds is in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5. Here it is in the amplified version: "For though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ...,"
God willing, each day through Passover we will propose a classic sin issue that we are all familiar with. We ALL fall short of the glory of God; there's no condemnation. We invite you to spend time alone with the Holy Spirit (having repented to join His KINGDOM you now have His indwelling Holy Spirit ), to ask Him if you have even a remnant of that particular issue. As He may reveal it, you can then confess it; He will forgive you (1 John 1:9); then you can exercise your free will and repent, changing your thinking totally on that issue; holding now on to His Word as the Truth and your path forward.
Today's issue is "fear of man." Psalm 118:6 says: " The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" However, being honest with yourself and your Holy Spirit, do you have such a fear of man? Even a residue of that fear? God bless you as you seek His Wisdom on that issue. May you go forward on His path, "perfecting holiness in the fear of God." (2 Corinthians 7:1).
***************************************************
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 "Jews and Greeks" who don't yet know Him, and to a lukewarm "church," filled with many who have not ever even repented ? (Matthew 4:17; Acts 3:19)
Please pray to the Lord if He will have you join us in prayers and much needed support, especially to address the food shortages in Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe, where inflation has grown 70% in the last few months. Your gifts fill immediate needs to those pastors preaching repentance, Mark 6:12!
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,
