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-----
The Godly process to heal a nation which worked for Nineveh, national repentance moving the Lord to relent from the disaster He had said He would bring upon them (Jonah 3:10), is now needed in all nations. Healing a nation spiritually is nearly lost among "national leaders."
Maybe I missed it, but despite some prayers and quotes from Scripture during the Republican convention, there was no mention of healing this USA as did our forefathers through repentance. Perhaps the last time the "r" word was used was by President Reagan after his own transformation, following the near miss to assassinate him.
We all saw President Trump speak at the Republican Convention. Yes, he thanked God for preserving his life. But then did he follow God's laws on life for the unborn and Biblical marriage? There was a great opportunity for him to repent to show a real transformation in his walk with the Lord as happened to President Reagan when he survived that attempted assassination in 1981. Instead, idolatry flourished-- a man and mixture was promoted instead of God's Word as the path forward.
A local Wisconsin pastor has a powerful sermon on this failure: Repentance, God's Law, and the Republican National Convention
Pray that this long-lost WAY of healing the USA, and all other nations, will come back into our collective thinking in the Body of Christ. Pastors need to wake up; judgment begins with us first. Many of them need to honor the Words of Jesus (Matthew 4:17, Luke 13:1-5) to turn from their self focus and truly repent.
This month's focus in Tennessee on a month of prayer and repentance is a great first step towards His righteousness; clearly that State will begin to see blessings. Join me in praying that pastors in other pulpits and leaders in other legislatures will call for this to spread into their State.
At the same time, just as 2,000 years ago, what is the number one assignment to you and me from the Lord? The Risen Christ, the Messiah, gives you and me His number one assignment as a disciple: preach repentance and remission of sins in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. (Luke 24:47). You and I are to be a direct part of gospel outreach by our preaching, bringing in new believers, doing even greater works because Yeshua went to His Father (John 14:12). You and I preach not just speaking behind a podium or texting on social media, but also by our new Godly character, leading to an increase in the indwelling Holy Spirit, as old sin strongholds are removed, replaced with His Word. Repentance is an act; you and I are to "bear fruits worthy of repentance." (Matthew 3:8).
To bear those fruits it's vital in these politically charged times to read, stand for, and preach the Word of God. We're not to give in to worldly mixture. (2 Timothy 4:1-5).
I understand it appears to be more comfortable to be silent, quiet, not moving in these turbulent times, looking to a man or to a political party to resolve all the issues facing us.
That posture won't work. You and I are to be bold for Christ. Cowards are the first group who won't see heaven. (Revelation 21:8).
Sadly, there's another group that won't see heaven unless they repent and follow the Word of God: those approving of murdering children in the womb and the sexually immoral (Revelation 21:8). Sadly, although one party is more extreme than the other, both main political parties in the USA in their platforms, as a way of "expanding their tents" stand against Life of all unborn and stand against Biblical marriage. Each party now justifies taking the life of a child in the womb at some point and men lying with men and marrying each other--- violations against the LORD and His Word. In an apparent campaign appeal to many, this trips over Proverbs 14:12, repeated in Proverbs 16:25: " There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death."
Judgment will be unleashed on this nation unless we who believe in Him set aside a day nationally to repent, as did our forefathers.
Instead of pandering to those who fail to follow God's Word, whenever there's an opportunity you and I need to speak up for righteousness, especially for a generation that is largely clueless as to God's Word. This is the Word in Isaiah 51:7-9a: " Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, You people in whose heart is My law; Do not fear the reproach of men, Nor be afraid of their insults. For the moth will eat them up like a garment, And the worm will eat them like wool; But My righteousness will be forever, And My salvation from generation to generation. Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord! Awake as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. "
And this boldness is repeated in Proverbs 28:4. In the King James it's stated: "They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them." I like the Message version: "If you desert the law, you're free to embrace depravity; if you love God's law, you fight for it tooth and nail."
As the Lord leads, please join me in this prayer:
Abba Father, in Jesus' Holy name, open our minds and hearts to see and to follow Your Way by which a nation can be healed: repentance. May it start with me, Lord. May I bear fruit worthy of repentance as a way of witnessing to others, bringing others into Your Kingdom. May pastors repent and preach repentance. May other States and nations now follow Tennessee's example. Thank You for Your Word that righteousness exalts a nation. May we return to our Godly roots. We love Your law and will stand for it, contending against those who forsake Your law. May we be Your Ambassadors, opening hearts with Your Love. In Jesus' Holy Name, Amen
******************
It's time each day for you and me to repent from all that is not from Him. The call continues to go out by NDR for personal and national repentance in every nation. We're in a spiritual battle requiring His spiritual solution, in His Word, a solution larger than any person or political party in any nation. As much as we support voting for Biblical values, it's more than that. It's time to join His Kingdom, receive the Holy Spirit, and then cleanse as a member of His Bride.
Please join us volunteers. Please sow into this repentance movement, whatever the amount, by your prayers, support and participation. Help us support those pastors preaching repentance. Join the team, encouraging His Gift, the Lord of Miracles!
God bless you,
Pastor Jeff Daly
