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-----
NDR received such a great response from our first report on the move of humility in Tennessee--- from Tennessee, Florida, Colorado, Australia and Uganda [yes!]---and now LIBERIA and WISCONSIN---- that I'm again sharing first the basic explanation of the Lord's Gift of repentance, and then an update on how men and women of God in Tennessee are rolling out this Joint Resolution 803 righteousness project in all 95 counties of that State.
Repentance is God's Gift. Like prayer, fasting, worship, reading His Word, repentance is His Gift, close to His Precious Blood in importance. It's the only WAY into His Kingdom: "Repent, the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Matthew 4:17; Mark 1:15).
As disciples--no longer just playing church with the dead religious spirit--- you and I are called to preach repentance and remission of sin to all others. (Luke 24:47). We are to "bear fruit worthy of repentance." (Matthew 3:8, 7:16, 2 Corinthians 9:10).
And the Gift of repentance not only gets one into the Kingdom; it then cleanses you and me from old sin patterns, old lies of the enemy, old strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). We have to cleanse to be ready as His Bride (Ephesians 5:25); He's the soon coming Bridegroom ( Matthew 25:1-13).
And it's His Gift by which He will heal a land (2 Chronicles 7:13,14). And there are other scriptures showing how repentance heals a land: (Jonah 3:10; Joel 2:12-18).
Now this precious Gift of repentance is spreading in Tennessee. Believers in Yeshua the Messiah, Jesus the Christ, in Tennessee have now blessed their State through Declarations passed by the Legislature and their Governor. Authors of the Declarations are going into all counties to spread the word for prayer, fasting and repentance, seeking " A Solution to seek God's hand of mercy healing on Tennessee."
May this be an example to other States and other nations.
Marion Farrar, Tennessee's General in the Reformation Prayer Network, and Marlene Tidwell of the Tennessee Governmental Prayer Alliance have announced a kickoff event at Legislative Plaza in Nashville at 11:30 AM on June 28. Here is Marlene Tidwell's email:
You are invited to join others at the Legislative Plaza on Friday, June 28 at 11:30 am to kick-off the Repentance & Prayer Initiative cross the 95 counties of our state in July.
The 113th TN General Assembly passed a resolution, signed by Governor Bill Lee, designating the month of July as a month of repentance, prayer and seeking God's mercy for Tennessee. Why July? It is the beginning of the fiscal year for our state. Rep. Monty Fritts, one of the sponsors of the bill felt that it was a great way to start the year. You may go HERE to read the resolution.
Please go HERE to read the letter from Rep. Monty Fritts and Sen. Mark Pody to learn more and find out how you can be involved. You may email Rep. Fritts at rep.monty.fritts@capitol.tn.gov for more info. Rep. Fritts and Sen. Pody are dedicating their time to coordinate a plan for all 95 counties to participate in this call for repentance and prayer. I encourage you to get behind this effort in your county and see how you can be involved.
I believe this is the most important thing that you can do this summer. Our cities, state and nation are in a defining moment of our history. Our only hope is in God, and to humble ourselves, repent, pray and seek His face. May Tennessee be the model for the rest of America!
Believing for God to raise up many across our state for this effort.

Here, again, are portions of the Resolution: in your own State or Nation perhaps you can add others.
A Resolution to seek God's hand of mercy healing on Tennessee.
Whereas, our State and Nation suffer from violence committed upon our citizens by our citizens; and
Whereas, our State and Nation suffer from violence committed upon our citizens by non-citizens; and Whereas, acts of violent crime in our schools are unacceptable; and
Whereas, human trafficking is an unacceptable and violent evil in our State, enslaving lives and violating the core values of our Creator-endowed rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; and
Whereas, drug addiction overwhelms our families, our government finances, our workforce productivity, as well as our healthcare and our law enforcement resources; and
Whereas, deadly fentanyl flows uncontrollably across our southern U.S. border resulting in the deaths of Tennesseans; and
Whereas, Driving Under the Influence, drunk driving, results in great pain and injury for Tennessee families; and
Whereas, we have approximately 9,000 children in need of foster care, indicating a brokenness in many Tennessee homes; and
Whereas, evidence of corruption in our federal government stands to impact every Tennessean; and
Whereas, our National and State Founders trusted in the omnipotent hand of Providence to guide and bless ourland;and
Whereas, over decades, these leaders called our people to seek out the Creator's favor by issuing proclamations like the one from John Adams on April 15, 1799:
[This day] be observed throughout the United States of America as a day of solemn humiliation, fasting, and prayer; that the citizens on that day abstain, as far as may be, from their secular occupation, and devote the time to the sacred duties of religion, in public and in private; that they call to mind our numerous offenses against the most high God, confess them before Him with the sincerest penitence, implore his pardoning mercy, through the Great Mediator and Redeemer, for our past transgressions, and that through the grace of His Holy Spirit, we may be disposed and enabled to yield a more suitable obedience to his righteous requisitions in time to come; that He would interpose to arrest the progress of that impiety and licentiousness in principle and practice so offensive to Himself and so ruinous to mankind; that He would make us deeply sensible that "righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." [Proverbs 14:34]; and
Whereas, we hold that our Founders correctly acknowledged Truth in their words; and
Whereas, we hold that "Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." (Psalm 127:1); now, therefore,
Be It Resolved BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE HUNDRED THIRTEENTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, THE SENATE CONCURRING, that the period of July 1, 2024, through July 31, 2024, be recognized as a time of prayer and fasting in Tennessee.
Be It Further Resolved, that we recognize that God, as Creator and King of all Glory, has both the authority to judge and to bless nations or states.
Be It Further Resolved, that we, as public servants in the Tennessee General Assembly, seek God's Mercy upon our land and beseech Him to not withdraw His Hand of blessing from us.
Be It Further Resolved, that we recognize our sins and shortcomings before Him and humbly ask His Forgiveness.
Be It Further Resolved, that we ask the Lord Jesus to heal our land and remove the violence, human trafficking, addiction, and corruption.
Be It Further Resolved, that we ask that the Holy Spirit fill our halls of government, our classrooms, our places of business, our churches, and our homes with peace, love, and joy.
Be It Further Resolved, that we call upon all those who are physically able and spiritually inclined to do so to join in a thirty-day season of prayer and intermittent fasting as we begin a new fiscal year as a means of seeking God's blessing and humbling ourselves to receive His Grace and Mercy, transforming ourselves, our communities, our State, and our Nation.
May the great State of Tennessee be an example to other States and other nations!
