Oh
my people, I, even I the Lord have called to you in times past through
the prophets of old. Some of you heeded my
call and call yourselves by
My Name! Now I am imploring my people to listen to my voice and come to
me in a season of repentance.
The storms that have come
upon you in the natural and have destroyed many are only the beginning.
Much more will come upon
the earth in these last
days and only by kneeling at My cross will you be saved. Just as in the
days of the Galileans, many
perished in a day, unless
you repent, you shall all likewise perish!
Do not think that you are
better than they, My blood
will save you, not the arm
of flesh. In these days I am calling My people to renounce the works of
the flesh and of the devil.
I am calling my people to a
holy walk with Me, nothing less will win the victory that must be won
in this world.
Do not believe
the voice of the devil, he
is a deceiver! He comes as a roaring lion but rest assured that he is no
lion.
I am the Lion of
Judah and I have overcome
the world, the devil, the flesh, sin, hell, and the grave. Put your
trust in my blood that I shed
for you and you will never
be ashamed, lift up my name without fear and I will give you great
victories that you have never
even imagined.
There is a
time coming that Satan has planned for this world, to destroy many of my
people through peace and
prosperity.
Rest assured
that I am not money, land, buildings, or anything else that you can
touch with your hands or see
with your eyes. My kingdom
is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. I need my people to
come to me on their knees
in humility, confidently
knowing that I am your God and King and that I will lead you to overcome
the world and the devil.
The plans of the devil can
be destroyed, but only by the prayers and fasting of those who call
themselves by my name!
Hear
my voice, repent of your
sin, come to me with clean hands and a pure heart and see what I the
Lord have purposed in My heart
for you! I am with you even
to the end of the world. I will never leave you nor forsake you, come
and tarry with Me in the
garden for truly the spirit
is willing but the flesh is weak.
Prayer of Repentance
Father Forgive
Us for We Have Sinned!
Father,
forgive our trespasses each day, for we are a sinful people who have
lost our way.
We go to your house on
Sunday, sing a few songs, listen to a sermon and walk away thinking that
we have done a service to
you.
We have not devoted
our hearts to your service, our ears to your word, our minds to
meditation on your word, or our bodies
to your work. Rather we
give our eyes to unclean entertainments, our hands to making financial
gain, our minds to a never
ending quest for more of
this world, and our bodies to the service of idols. Our hearts and our
minds are far from you, even
as we call ourselves by
your name. We have made a reproach of your name in this world, forgive
us oh God!
We slumber
in our beds and dream of
becoming rich even while the nation that you have given to us becomes
increasingly hostile towards
you and your holy name. We
talk of faith and yet deny your power to heal our bodies, cleanse our
minds, fill our spirits,
and perform your many
miracles. We live our lives in unbelief as our enemies gather strength
before us. Save us oh God from
the terrible wrath that we
so richly deserve, forgive us oh God!
Our temples you have given
to us, we have desecrated
by our careless living and
faithless ways. We engage in the sin of gluttony and call it good. We
walk according to the dictates
of our appetites and say
that we have no sin. When we fail to get our own way, we act like
heathen and spread hatred and malice
rather than kindness and
long suffering; we call ourselves justified.
We adorn our bodies in much
finery, we make ourselves
appear to have everything
that we need, while our souls languish in poverty towards you. We say
that we are rich, you say
that we are poor and blind,
you we ignore and call ourselves wise. Forgive us oh God!
That
which is called evil in
the sight of the Lord, we
call good. That which is called good in the sight of the Lord, we call
unimportant. We reward those
who walk according to the
flesh and we punish those who walk according to the Spirit. We give our
ears to false teachers who
say that God will wink in
the day of judgment, who say that God will not hold us to account for
our evil ways.
We turn our
ears away from the one who
preaches righteousness and holiness before the Lord as though our God
has not eyes to see nor ears
to hear. We have polluted
your altar with sick and lame sacrifices, we have built many useless
fires, our priests have stolen
the choicest of the
sacrifices, and our hearts are not purified before your altar. We have
embraced the unclean thing, we
have turned our hearts to
false gods, we value prosperity over the word of our God.
Forgive us oh
God!
We have defiled
ourselves before the Lord
and yet we have the nerve to call ourselves your people and to take your
holy name in vain. We have
profaned your house with
our gods of luxury, wealth, comfort, titillation, sexual immorality,
pleasure seeking, and man pleasing.
There is no fear of God
before our eyes, our hearts are unclean, our hands are covered with
innocent blood, our meditation
is upon the unclean thing
all the day long. Save us oh God from the fury of your wrath that awaits
those who have turned from
your boundless love and
holy ways to walk in corrupt paths and who love the works of darkness
rather than Him who dwells in
the light. We have believed
the lies, forsaken the truth and changed the truth of our God into
idols which we can touch with
our hands. Forgive us oh
God!
Father send to us a spirit of repentance, humble our hearts
before you, crush our spirits
as grapes in the wine vats.
Lead us back into the paths of righteousness for your name sake. Teach
us your way!
If we must
become poor in order to
become rich in you, then Lord, take away the prosperity, take away our
comforts, take away our luxury,
but most of all, take away
the coldness of our stony hearts.
Make us as those who went before us
and who gave their lives
gladly for you. Give us a
heart of thanksgiving and love that we may truly become your disciples
once again. Amen
