    Repentance: How Do I Get Involved?

    Its between you and the Holy Spirit ! We are in the middle of a hugemovement for repentance, across Christian denominations, across

    national boundaries, to bring many souls into Christs Kingdom in

    these end times, and to refresh and rekindle the body of Christ to be

    ready as His Bride for His soon return. (Revelation 19:7).

    Repentance is Gods gift to every human. Its the first word Jesus

    spoke when He began preaching, a key to eternal salvation.

    (Matthew 4:17). Its also a wonderful process---painful to our egosbut still wonderful---by which He participates with us through His

    Holy Spirit to transform the old man into holiness (2 Corinthians

    7:1), into His image through sincere repentance. In Revelation 3:19-

    21 the Risen Christ gives us His instructions by which each of us can

    become an overcomer and sit with Him on His throne, as He

    overcame as now sits with the Father on His throne: be zealous to

    repent (verse 19); invite Him to dine with you (verse 20); become

    an overcomer to sit on His throne (verse 21).

    Its His loving assignment to restore our souls and to lead us in His

    paths of righteousness for His names sake. (Psalm 23:3).

    Repentance is not punishment; its an intimate-building, liberating,

    deeply joyful process available to every believer thanks to the Lord.

    (please see the article under Resources, Forty Five Minutes to JoyUsing Repentance).

    If one very reluctant man, Jonah, could trigger massive repentance in

    a wicked pagan nation, causing the Lord to relent from the disaster

    He was about to bring upon them (Jonah 3:10), any one of us, turning

    from the flesh and the world towards His Purity, just might be the

    additional heart turned to Him that will move His heart to forgive

    our sins and heal our nations. (2 Chronicles 7:13-15).

    In that passion for repentance, please join us for the next day of

    repentance.

    And heres a simple reminder how you can be a voice for repentance

    in your home, your ministry, and your community:

    R Revisitthe concept of repentance in Scripture. Its a privilege,a purification process, not a punishment, by which any of us

    believers can become an overcomer. (Revelation 3:19-21). Joy, not

    judgment, follows repentance.

    E Everyday add repentance to your prayer time.

    P Purity is the goal: repent to be more like Christ, to be ready asHis Bride for His soon return. (Revelation 19:7)

    E Enlist other leaders and believers in your community to use theresources on the www.dayofrepentance.orgwebsite, to meet in your

    homes to repent together, and to participate in the various days of

    repentance held each year, especially the global day of repentance,the day of repentance for all nations, held each year on the Hebrew

    day of atonement. (Leviticus 23: 27,31: it shall be a holy convocation for

    you; you shall afflict your soulsYou shall do no manner of work; it shall be

    a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.)

    N Nehemiah, a man like the rest of us, is a good model forrepentance. We see in chapter one, before he received the Lords

    anointing to rebuild the walls, he prayed, he fasted, he confessed

    sins, repenting for himself, for his family, and for his nation. He later

    had to observe the leaders and priests writing a sure covenant to

    follow the Lord (Nehemiah 9:38; please see the Prayer for

    Repentance,www.prayerforrepentance.com)

    T Turn away from the flesh and the world to your LordJesus Christ who is worthy to be followed in His Purity. Teach others

    about the privilege and power of repentance--- not just as a key to

    joining the Kingdom of the Living God but as a daily purification

    process, with the Holy Spirits loving, always forgiving, help.

    (Revelation 3:10-21; 1 John 1:8-9: If we confess our sins, He is faithful

    and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.)
