Because you say, ''I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing"---and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked--I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to set with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Revealation 3:17-22
Dear prayer warriors,
The Lord moved yesterday in California in our California Day of Repentance. It was a great joy to give a simple sermon at my church on the basic Scriptures showing the Gift of Repentance. The teaching also included giving the congregation times of silence to choose to repent over old sin patterns. We focused on one key sin issue-------the idolatry so strong in this State where we make ourselves the center of our lives instead of placing the Lord first.
California media has blanketed the planet in narcissism. We created two billion people on Facebook, elevating it over the Faith Book. We repented how we too have, to whatever extent, taken on this wicked spirit instead of making Him first on our lives.
Virtually all raised their hands at the end as to whether they had sincerely repented.
By the end of the simple service Joy filled our hearts. Smiles were on all faces. The fellowship was precious. The Holy Spirit was so evident!
Yes, we wanted many more pastors and priests to join us, and maybe some did and didn't inform us, but the report from pastors already brings great joy.
Here is a Youtube from Pastor Cyril Rayan of the "Blessed Church" in San Jose. It's close to 2 hours long, building in power, especially when young people pray with a passion for a "miracle in my generation" at the 80 minute mark:
The Lord loves small beginnings. And the Holy Spirit helps in our weaknesses.
Support came from prayer intercessors like you from Australia, Canada, the Philippines, France, England, India, Uganda, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa.
Within the United States, pastors responded from Texas to Michigan to Virginia.
A repentance remnant is growing. Now we are praying for pastors and priests in other States and nations to make a similar Declaration regarding repentance in their State or nation. " You will also eclare a thing, And it will be established for you." (Job 22:28). It's time to be bold for Christ. The Bride needs to cleanse to be ready.
"that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish." (Ephesians 5:27)
Let us know how we can support you. God bless you!
