Dear sisters and brothers in Christ Jesus, part of a growing repentance remnant globally,
Why did Moses not get to go into the Promised Land? It's not just that he disobeyed God's clear direction, that he " speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water..." (Numbers 20:8). Worse, he failed to HALLOW the LORD in the eyes of the children of Israel: " And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock; and he said to them, ' Hear you now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?' Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank. Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, 'Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them." ~Numbers 20: 10-12
Yes, you and I use the word "Hallowed" in the Lord's Prayer. But is it just a tradition? A rote repetition? Do you and I really see the Almighty FATHER with awesome reverence and healthy fear? Do we hallow Him? Unless by our speech and actions we hallow our Abba Father, how can we begin to call ourselves part of His "chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light..." ??? ~ 1 Peter 2:9
This issue of hallowing our Abba Father is central for bringing down the pride into which we were all born. Pride is the first named abomination to the Lord--- Proverbs 6:17.
And as believers in Christ in this nation, when did we, as a national sacred assembly, stop hallowing the name of the Lord? The last time Congress and the President called for a Day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer was in 1918, 103 years ago. Soon thereafter we stopped depending on God's Solution, God's Blessings. We have not hallowed Him for a century.
Please join me in praying that this catastrophic mistake will be seen and repented for.
Please join me in this prayer:
" Abba Father, forgive me, forgive us, for failing fully to hallow You. Remove the pride or rebellion which blocks our full hallowing of You.
May believers in this, and other, nations take time, on a given Day, to stop, kneel, pray, seek Your face, and confess our personal and national sins, and HALLOW You, our Abba Father, today and every day hereafter.
Convict us of Your grief for our failure to hallow You in this nation.
Please show us personally and together as Your Body how to hold a national sacred assembly on a given Day, not just to pray, not just to fast, but sincerely to repent, including repenting of our failure fully to Hallow You, our Abba Father.
In Yeshua's Holy Name, we pray, Amen and Amen. "

This Wednesday, July 14, at 2 PM Eastern time USA, we will hold, God willing, another one hour Zoom meeting on Failing to Hallow the Name of our Father a key sin of which we ALL have at least a residue, given that we were all born children of wrath. This is sin #16 of the 40 included in the 40 day repentance devotional, provided free to those signing up for our latest repentance project: www.endingdroughtgodsway.com
To cleanse to get ready for Him, join me during that meeting in removing any remnant of that old sin pattern. Your privacy will be honored, and at the same time anyone wishing to share will be welcomed. Pray to see if the Lord would have you join us. JOY FOLLOWS REPENTANCE! Please email me and I'll send you the direct link.
God bless you,
Pastor Jeff

One of our sisters, Stefanie, has written:
Growing up repentance was always something I thought was apologizing to God. Now after going through Pastor Daly book [Take The Repentance Route---email us for a free copy] I have found repentance is truly Gods plan for happiness and what truly brings joy! While the process of repentance has been sometimes painful I have discovered that daily repentance is a refreshing of the soul. We are simply a repentant prayer away from a restored and joyful relationship with God. Scripture states, Jesus first message stated, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matt. 4:17).
I have found going through Pastor Daly book of repentance has been life changing. Growing in Christlikeness is an ongoing process so consistent repentance is crucial. As we become more like Him, we will continually come before God with our sins and find joy in God’s mercy, forgiveness, and freedom!! I look forward to continuing a roadway of reconciliation. Repentance is POWERFUL and POSITIVE!! Stefanie Cuperus from Corpus Christi, TX
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 national repentance in every nation and applying it in our lives.
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.
