Dear sisters and brothers in Christ Jesus, part of a growing repentance remnant globally,
Godly roots were planted in the original 13 colonies in the USA. A project to restore them using God's solution in the Bible begins in the first colony, Virginia, on Feb.1. Please join us that day, not just in Virginia, but in your nation.
God willing, on February 1, 2022 a day of repentance will take place in Virginia. Individuals in Virginia, and throughout the USA, and in 47 nations, will take time, in prayer, fasting and humble repentance that day, confessing our personal and national sins, and acknowledging our firm dependence upon the Living God.
God gives His solution to heal a land in 2 Chronicles 7:14: " 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, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. "
Twelve additional days of repentance, focusing on each colony, will then take place on the first of each month, ending with the last established colony, Georgia, on February 1, 2023.
The next Day of Repentance will focus on Massachusetts on March 1, 2022.
Our Virginia forefathers were bold for Christ! They publicly stood on God's Word!
The Founders' Bible, at page 1901 has a great insight into the boldness of Virginian Patrick Henry:
"Where are the young lions of today---our dread champions of righteousness who refuse to flee in the face of tyranny? Eleven years prior to the Declaration of Independence, Patrick Henry had the courage to take a stand against an English law that every other burgess agreed was unconstitutional but did not dare confront. Where did such boldness come from? First, a simple life built on truth, steeped in the Word of God. Clarity and conviction are its fruit. Where others feared that their words of disagreement would be misunderstood and their careers and live would be endangered, Henry knew the same, but he knew the source and the foundation from which they came. He knew these rights came from God! What does Scripture say? And how does the Scripture say it? When we know that, we are able to give a clear trumpet blast of truth."
Will YOU be part of this historic movement now to revisit those ancient wells in the original 13 colonies, offering repentance for root sins, such as those inflicted upon Native Americans, and asking our God to HEAL OUR LAND? Thank you!
Much information on Virginia's Godly Roots can be found on the website. Prayer points and resources to hold a repentance service in a church or small group, in effect a "sacred assembly," are also available on the website.
A three hour zoom call will be held at 12 Noon Eastern time, on February 1. For more information including the zoom info, please contact our volunteer, Susan Hammer, hammersusan1@gmail.com, or Pastor Jeff at pastorjeff@repentday.com.
Members of Congress and local politicians have been invited to participate. But in keeping with Scripture, the main emphasis is on individual repentance, one on One, with Him that day.
The time for speeches has passed; now it's time to spend some time in actual repentance on February 1, actually to kneel in contrition as intercessors, wherever you are located, as the Holy Spirit may direct. ~Romans 8:26
"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart---These O God, You will not despise." Psalm 51: 17
" For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place , With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones." Isaiah 57: 15

One of our sisters, Delbra, has written:
“So few actually grasp the need to not just give lip service to repentance but to allow the Spirit of God to do His work to the very marrow of our bones in order that we arise washed in the blood of Christ, living close to Him, and displaying His image as we do. We too often see the need for others to repent without having first lingered in His presence until His work is done in us. I love the words in Joshua which, following circumcision, it says "they stayed in the camp until they were whole."
It has always amazed me how God takes us as far as we can go and then, when we can bear it, takes a further into His life and likeness. If we don't incrementally allow this work, we will never know the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering nor the healing which comes from the top of our head to the souls of our feet."
Do you also see repentance as vital for our times? To our knowledge National Day of Repentance is the only Christian ministry focusing solely on personal and global repentance, providing resources and projects to repent TODAY.
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. Would you please pray for us? And then give from a cheerful heart as the Lord leads? THANK YOU--whatever the amount you give, 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!
