Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, Yeshua the Messiah, part of the growing repentance remnant, cleansing as His Bride, getting ready for His soon return as our Bridegroom-----
My dear friend, Warwick Marsh, is writing a powerful book ready to be released shortly. It's called, BREAK THROUGH- 15 Keys for Supernatural Breakthrough. "
I'm honored to have received a draft. May many people order many copies; it's an excellent draft already. Copies of the book can be ordered soon at the Canberra Declaration.[ info@canberradeclaration.org.au.]
He writes that there are five foundation stones essential for a supernatural breakthrough. The first he cites is daily repentance. He captures the Lord's gift of repentance well in this excerpt:
Daily Repentance. Repentance is essential. I think of repentance as the doorway into heaven. One of my favourite verses in all of Scripture is 2 Chronicles 7:14, where God says, “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 I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” While God spoke these words to the people of Israel, the principle applies to each one of us today.
Repentance is a theme found throughout the Bible. The message of John the Baptist was “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.” (Matthew 3:2). Of course, Jesus echoed this same message on many occasions. On the day of Pentecost, Peter called the vast crowds to do the same, saying, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38).
While repentance is certainly a one-off event, after we have repented and turned to Christ, we need to keep on doing so over and over again. According to the great reformer Martin Luther, “When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, ‘Repent’, he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.” The reason repentance must be ongoing is because we live in a fallen world and are still affected by sin. We have been redeemed by God and have been given the nature of Christ, but our old sin nature still rises up against our new nature. “The flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh,” as Galatians 5:17 explains.
I believe that we can live relatively free of sin, but the precondition for this is that we confess our sins and repent of them regularly. This is how the apostle John put it: “If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.” (1 John 1:8-10). There’s a battle going on—a battle for our minds and our hearts. We have to keep a soft heart, live in daily repentance, and walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8).
The inference in each of these passages is that repentance is daily. Yes, when we repent and put our trust in Jesus, the door is opened for God to come in. But repentance is not just a one-time decision. Repentance is a door that we have to keep opening at all times so that God can continue to grow, heal and deliver us."
****************************
Putting repentance first follows the Word of the Risen Christ found in Luke 24:46,47: " Then He said to them, ' Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."
***********************************
Are you among those discerning the times realizing ALL need to come into the Messiah/Christ's Kingdom through repentance? And do you see that thereafter it's His Gift by which you and I cleanse as His Bride; He's the soon-coming Bridegroom?
Then you're on our team ! That is our simple mission: to encourage God's gift of repentance personally and in all nations.
Your donations are sent to pastors all over His planet now preaching repentance (Mark 6:12) and, like the first disciples, seeing miracles (Mark 6:13) . Thank you in advance for giving, whatever amount, in the faithful spirit of Luke 8:3, and the cheerful giving of 2 Corinthians 9:7. Thank you !
God bless you,
