Calling all Pastors and Elders in the Body of Christ<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Worldwide National Day of Repentance<\/div>\n
Wednesday 26th<\/sup> September 2012 (Yom Kippur “Day of Atonement”)<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
A season of repentance has already begun for many in the body of Christ with the Holy Spirit gift of spiritual discernment. \u00a0Our world’s problems are more than political; they are spiritual and require a spiritual solution. It\u2019s time to repent, individually and as nation’s such as USA, Australia and United Kingdom etc, A number of key prayer and repentance events are scheduled. \u00a0Ten days of repentance will begin with Rosh Hashanah on September 16, with the blowing of shofars, leading up to Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, on September 26. \u00a0God willing, there will be thousands of \u00a0ministry or church events at the grassroots level across the body of Christ on this one key holy day\u2013 this year\u2019s World Day of Repentance.<\/div>\n
Individual fasting, prayer, taking the day off work to show the God we serve instead of mammon, time alone with God, or education praying silently at a place of government, prayer-walking your neighbourhood, participation in a church or ministry service\u2013 time to do a spiritual inventory with our Creator\u2013 these will mark all or a portion of the 25 hours beginning twenty minutes before \u00a0sundown in each community on Tuesday, September 25, 2012 and concluding on Yom Kippur, Wednesday, September 26, forty minutes after sunset.<\/div>\n
It is a holy day for those of us in the body of Christ to choose which God we will serve, . \u00a0It is a day to mobilize His body to repent and choose Him. As we choose Him and love Him, and walk in His ways, and keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, He will do miracles; our next generations will live and multiply, and He will bless us in our land.<\/div>\n
Seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit as to an outline of a program for your group or church during all or a portion of this key day. Join with other churches in your community if possible. You may wish to begin and end with worship, giving plenty of time for silence and soul-searching. It\u2019s not about judgment; we\u2019ve all fallen short of the glory of God. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. During any service or meeting you may wish to provide an opportunity for persons to pray. Pray for unity in the body of Christ [ ] around this event which seeks support by many ministries and denominations across the body of Christ. You may also wish to teach on the many Scriptures referring to repentance, refer to CDP website. You may consider taking time to teach the remarkable, true stories of how repentance was a key factor in God\u2019s Victories through David [Psalm 51], Jehoshaphat, [chapter 20:1-22], Daniel [chapter 9: 1-19], Esther [chapter 4: 1-17], and Nehemiah [chapter 1: 3-11]. There are similar examples in British, Australian and American Christian history showing God\u2019s Hand to bless our nation once there was a national call for repentance. You may also wish to focus on Christ and the Kingdom of God and the zeal of the Lord in establishing the increase of His government and His peace for which there will be no end. [ ] Previous National Days of Repentance \u2013 USA (1774), Australia and Israel etc. \u00a0<\/div>\n
This Worldwide National Day of Repentance is set to coincide with Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. The event taking place on Yom Kippur in no way is meant to pre-empt or replace what Yom Kippur means for the Jewish people, but is meant to honour the Jewish people\u2019s divinely mandated calendar (), and to honour the holiness and seriousness of that day. It also honours the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. . The Lord Himself said [Lev 23:27] that the Day of Atonement would be a \u201choly convocation\u201d, a day to \u201cafflict\u201d one\u2019s soul, to do no work; a \u201cstatute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.\u201d<\/div>\n
It is also the one key day each year when our nations can re-covenant with its God. This year of 2012 is critical. \u00a0Will we in the body of Christ repent and renounce other gods? \u00a0Will \u201cWe The People\u201d re-covenant with our Creator, the living God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? \u00a0Will we have a government under God or under man? Using the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, the perfect Lamb sacrifice, our kinsman Redeemer, will God at His mercy seat watch us turn from our wicked ways so that He can hear from heaven, forgive our sin and heal our land?<\/div>\n
During the 25 hour holy day we suggest you set aside time for prayer for the Jewish people, who are now under attack. This Day of Atonement in 2012 is very relevant in September 2012 as Israel faces faces a real threat of total destruction by the Islamic nation of Iran.\u00a0<\/div>\n
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray also about the place of our Lord Jesus Christ in history: past, present and future. Thank the Living God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that\u00a0 applies to Israel primarily, but also now for us believers, and \u00a0is a way to heal all nations, including our nation in 2012: \u201c 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.<\/em><\/strong>“<\/em><\/div>\n
