I Prayed have prayed
"For the Lord will not abandon His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance. For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it. " Psalm 94: 14-15 (NASB)
Reading Time: 4 minutes

It’s time. God is in charge of all nations. If His people, called by His name, will humble themselves,, and pray, and seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways, He will not just hear from heaven and forgive their sins——He will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14.

If we renounce our sins and turn towards  His purity in sincere repentance He will not abandon His people, nor will He forsake His inheritance.

Godly roots were planted many generations ago in this nation, watered by blood, prayers, fasting and repentance.  The repentance was both personal and  in the form of sacred assemblies, from individual churches to the entire colony or nation. One historian has counted over eight hundred “ Days of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer”  in the colonies, states, and in the nation, beginning with the Pilgrims four hundred years ago.   Each time when the Lord saw that His people called by His name had truly turned from their wicked ways,  He heard from heaven, forgave their sin,  and healed their land.

As a result of those eight hundred days of repentance, He blessed the nation. Nations are either blessed or cursed by the Living God.  There have been days of prayer, but the last Congressional or Presidential call for a national day of repentance was held in 1918, helping to end World War 1 and the Spanish flu.

Since then our nation has significantly turned from God. We do not “remember His power” Psalm 78:42. We have behaved as if we can govern out of our own strength, forgetting that “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it.” Psalm 127:1. And it is “not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.”  Zechariah 4:6

Given our personal and national sins God’s judgment is looming.  We continue to kill innocents.  We continue to follow idols, including ourselves and mammon,  instead of the Living God.  We continue to legalize sexual perversions. We continue to follow our own human plans instead of His Divine Will, especially as it relates to Israel.

When a people truly repent the Lord may relent.  It happened to Nineveh,  as a reluctant Jonah preached to that wicked city, saying they had only forty days before judgment.  They heard him; they repented; the Lord relented from the judgment He had planned.

We in the United States today are in a similar position. Our own thinking by our “leaders”  has produced disaster after disaster.   Never in our memory has the nation been so weak. The nation’s morality is at a low ebb with perversions sanctified by our highest court. “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20)

We need God’s Solution.

That Solution is found in His Word:  2 Chronicles 7: 13 and 14:

 “When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

He’s waiting for those of us in His Body to confess our sins and repent, removing old sin strongholds, replacing them with His Word , “cleansing ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”  (2 Corinthians 7:1).

On December 1, 2021 a “National and International Day of Repentance and Sacred Assemblies Regarding Abortion” was held in Washington DC.   Seventy or more Christian and Jewish ministries came together in worship and prayers of repentance for the killing of 60 million children in the womb since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in 1973.  Now it is time to build on that momentum

Thirteen days of repentance are now being called, on the first of each month, starting on February 1, 2022, beginning with the first colony, Virginia.  God willing, the last day of repentance will focus on the last colony, Georgia, on February 1, 2023.

Pastors and priests all over the USA will be invited to hold repentance services that Day. Over 1,000 intercessors  from 47 other nations will be also repenting  that Day and  interceding with prayer points for that colony/State’s restoration of its Godly roots.

God willing,  these thirteen days of repentance will restore God’s original destiny for this nation,  refreshing our Godly roots through personal  repentance and sacred assemblies.

Please join us on that first day of repentance, focusing on Virginia, on February  1, 2022!

In looking through some suggested scripture, I was heart-struck while reading 2 Chronicles 30. A little history: Hezekiah was 25 at the time of his father’s death. His father was King Ahaz and he was evil beyond belief. Ahaz enforced wickedness throughout his 16 year rule. But when Hezekiah became king of Judah, he repaired and cleansed the Temple. He renewed Temple worship. He sent word throughout all of Israel and Judah and in letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, “to come to the Lord’s Temple in Jerusalem and observe the Passover of the Lord God of Israel.” The letter said: Return to God, unlike your family members who where made objects of horror because of their obstinance. Give your allegiance to the Lord and come to His sanctuary that He consecrated forever. Serve Him so that He may turn His fierce wrath from you. When you return to the Lord your family will receive mercy from their captors and be returned to Judah. The Lord your God is gracious and merciful; He will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him.

Much like today, this message was a target of ridicule and mockery. This did not discourage King Hezekiah, neither did the problem of those who participated in Passover without purifying themselves. He interceded for them praying, “May the LORD, who is good, provide atonement for everyone who sets his heart on seeking God—the LORD, the God of his fathers—even if he is not cleansed according to the purification rules of the sanctuary.” The Lord heard Hezekiah and healed the people. They celebrated and rejoiced and in addition to the 7 days ordained, 7 more. Nothing like this had happened in Jerusalem since the days of Solomon. And when the priests and Levites stood to bless the people,God heard their prayer from Heaven.

Dear Heavenly Father, we have sinned and fallen short of Your glorious standard. Thank You that we have been justified freely by Your grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. May the prayers for repentance and healing offered today and in all days, be heard in Heaven. I pray You will keep us repentant so our sins may be wiped away. I ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ, The Lamb of God, The Messiah Amen
