REPENTANCE + PURITY of heart, of life, and motives.

Repentance – In Purity of heart, of life, and in motives.
Repentance must begin with God's people, today's Church. "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn (repent) from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

We must first draw close to Him and bow our knee in Repentance & Prayer and cry out to Him, then He will raise us up in Purity, Humility, and Faith as One Body. See Unity.

1. Personal Repentance: It must begin on a personal level for all of us.
1st. We must draw close to God, and come to Him humbly on bended knee in Prayer. "Submit yourself to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you...Cleanse your hands...purify your hearts...humble yourselves in the sight of God...and He will lift you up." James 4:4-10

2nd. Let's ask God to search our hearts, our lives, our motives, and to expose any way in us that is not pleasing to Him. "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends You, and lead me along the path of everlasting life." Psalm 139:23-24.

3rd. We must deal with anything God exposes as not pleasing to Him, remove anything unclean, and cast off every weight of sin.
• Then rise up in Purity of heart, life, and motives.
• Rise up in Humility carried out thru Obedience
• Rise up in Faith with action.
• We must present our lives as a living sacrifice, Holy and acceptable to God.
• Stay close to God, daily meditate in His word, and walk in His high ways and holiness, for His glory.

"The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results." James 5:16

2. Repentance In The Pulpits - The Five-Fold Ministry must lead the way, they affect the whole Church.
The Spiritual Leaders of God's House are also the gatekeepers. There is a great accountability and responsibility. There is a calling going out for repentance and purity to the Leaders in God's House. A Call for a Holy Consecration (I Chronicles 15:12; Joel 1:14). The Five-Fold Ministry is accountable to be God's voice to the people and the nation. It must start with us.

PREPARE for the Day of God's Visitation to His House.
We believe this is a time of preparation for a great visitation - See the "A Great Visitation" message for details. This is a time for an internal investigation by the Spirit of God in His House and in our lives individually.

1st. God is calling the Five-Fold Ministry to the Altar in genuine repentance, brokenness and in prayer. God is getting ready to do a powerful work by His Spirit in the pulpits of America. We believe there will be an internal investigation going on, a deep cleansing and dealing with the motives of the heart, and a strong call for purity in every area of life. God wants to get the sin out of the pulpits of America. Sin in the pulpits is a VERY serious matter to Him because it opens up the door and can bring a curse on the entire church body, and even a nation – we see these examples throughout scripture. This is why God deals more severely with those in leadership, because they influence so many lives. As the five-fold ministry approaches the Altar I believe the Spirit of God will meet them there and begin to do an intense work by His Spirit.

2nd. Call for a time of Personal and Corporate Repentance & Prayer with your staff, congregations, partners, and associates. For them to understand the "Pray America! Pray!" vision, and it's important message. Joining the growing call for Unity, Repentance and Prayer across our land, for our Churches and Nation.

3. Repentance In The Pews - As God is moving upon the Leaders in His House, we believe this powerful work of conviction and repentance is going to flow down to the pew. God will be calling His Church to wake up from her complacency, her confusion and disgrace. He will be calling her to full devotion and consecration, a separation from the things of the world that have caused her to be led astray (James 4:4). This will be a work by His Spirit. He will be calling His bride back to Him. This will become a time of absolute devotion to Christ and a time to fulfill His Purposes in the earth.

4. Repentance – Multitudes - As God is moving from the Pulpits to the Pews, the prayers of the righteous across our nation will begin to flood the throne room of heaven. These prayers will prepare the heart and the soul of our nation to hear God’s compassionate cry for Repentance and for America to turn back to Him, for He is her only hope.

We believe these prayers will bring America to her knees, from sea to shining sea, and multitudes of souls will be saved. This is God’s desire and our earnest prayer!
