UKRAINE and RUSSIA WAR
Global Day of Repentance Turns Our Focus to UKRAINE & RUSSIA
On the 1st Day of Purim, March 16th, 2022
THIS GLOBAL DAY OF REPENTANCE ON MARCH 16, 2022, ON THE BEGINNING OF PURIM, IS GOD'S WAY TO CLEANSE HIS BRIDE, BY CALLING MANY TO SPIRITUAL WARFARE TO TAKE DOWN PRINCIPALITIES, SMALL "gods" WHO HAVE TERRITORIAL ASPIRATIONS OVER PARTICULAR GEOGRAPHY---- LIKE THE PRINCIPALITY THAT BLOCKED HELP REACHING DANIEL FOR 21 DAYS
Jesus has ALL authority in heaven and on earth. When we come into His Kingdom we receive the Holy Spirit , and that Holy Spirit is more powerful than other spirits.
2 Corinthians 10: 3-5. "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but are mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."
At a time when we see the threat of even nuclear war, World War 3, you and I are called to be peacemakers---- Matthew 5:9
HOW DO WE DO THAT?
BY DOING YOUR PART, LIKE ESTHER!
ESTER 4:14 : " IF YOU REMAIN COMPLETELY SILENT AT THIS TIME, RELIEF AND DELIVERANCE WILL ARISE FOR THE JEWS FROM ANOTHER PLACE, BUT YOU AND YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE WILL PERISH.. YET WHO KNOWS WHETHER YOU HAVE COME TO THE KINGDOM FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS?"
HAVING FASTED, TOGETHER WITH ALL THE JEWS IN SHUSHAN FOR THREE DAYS, [ESTHER 4:16] , THEN SPOKE AGAIN TO THE KING, FELL DOWN AT HIS FEET [ESTHER 8:3] , AND SAID IF IT PLEASES THE KING, AND IF I HAVE FOUND FAVOR IN HIS SIGHT, LET IT BE WRITTEN TO REVOKE THE LETTERS DEVISED BY HAMAN TO ANNIHILATE THE JEWS WHO ARE IN ALL THE KING'S PROVINCES
SO ARE YOU WILLING TO DO YOUR PART?
DOUBLECHECK TO SEE IF YOU ARE REALLY READY. WE ARE TO BE WISE AS SERPENTS AND GENTLE AS DOVES.
1) Are you really in His Kingdom?
2) Are you filled with His Holy Spirit?
3) ARE YOU AWARE IN WHAT WAY HE HAS CHOSEN YOU? [JOHN 15:16]
Have you asked Him what He has called you for?
If you are truly CALLED OUT, you will be blessed---Romans 8:28 KJV - “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
4) At the Lord's direction, under His authority, we are "pressing in" to advance His Kingdom [Luke 16:16; Matthew 11:12]. WE TAKE HIS KINGDOM BY TAKING DOWN STRONGHOLDS, INCLUDING PRINCIPALITIES, GODS OF WAR !
5) As we repent, and then do our part, perhaps its simply intercessory prayer, fasting and repentance for some portion of that day, we are all being cleansed [ 1 Thessalonians 3: 11-13, 2 Corinthians 7:1] and God may honor our repentance , bringing His peace to the planet [2 Chronicles 7:14]
MANY WILL SEE GOD'S HAND; MANY WILL COME IN AS NEW CONVERTS TO HIS KINGDOM !!
AND THOSE IN THE DENOMINATIONS, RUSSIAN ORTHODOX, ROMAN CATHOLIC WHO ARE NOW AT ODDS, PART OF A "WAR" AMONG DENOMINATIONS, WILL FIND UNITY IN HIM DIRECTLY--- EPHESIANS 4:3, ISAIAH 55:1-9
Isaiah 55:1-9
"Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David.
Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people, A leader and commander for the people.
Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, And nations who do not know you shall run to you, Because of the LORD your God, And the Holy One of Israel; For He has glorified you."
Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.”
WE ARE TO BE MORE LIKE HIM, FULLY INTIMATE WITH HIS WILL, A LIVING SACRIFICE ROMANS 12:1
AS THE LORD MAY FORGIVE OUR SINS AS WE CONFESS THEM TO HIM, AND CONFESS THE SINS OF OUR NATIONS, WE WILL ALSO BEGIN TO FULFILL THE WORDS OF ISAIAH 58: 5-12, INCLUDING VERSE 12: " THOSE FROM AMONG YOU SHALL BUILD THE OLD WASTE PLACES; YOU SHALL RAISE UP THE FOUNDATIONS OF MANY GENERATIONS; AND YOU SHALL BE CALLED THE REPAIRER OF THE BREACH, THE RESTORER OF STREETS TO DWELL IN"
Feedback from a friend in Ukraine:
We know we are all in the hands of the Lord, the King of the Universe, no matter what happens; however, even though He is almighty, He also requires our prayers since He has put the world under human authority from the beginning (Gen. 1:26).
Our human dilemma is that sinful, demonically influenced people mess things up, and we all as members of a fallen race share partial responsibility for the turmoil and tragedy that so often afflicts our world.
Therefore, we need to be our brother’s keepers, identifying in repentant, united, and authoritative prayer for the Deliverer’s help to heal and save, even in seemingly impossible situations of human conflict and suffering. Your part in the prayer of agreement is therefore so crucial and powerful, so let's please continue until we see His transformational breakthroughs!
An update on the situation:
Today, on a call with some ministry leaders who are inside Ukraine, they described the increasing aerial bombardments and asked prayer for:
Protection, independence, and freedom for their nation.
Also, for pastors to be strengthened and waves of salvation with many to come to Christ.
Encouragingly, they mentioned that they have already been seeing thousands praying to receive Him in the midst of the refugee exodus.
Also, we discussed the possibility of a reconciliation prayer initiative with their Russian counterparts, whose nation is also suffering greatly due to this senseless conflict.
Years ago, during my long stint with an international humanitarian agency, we did a lot of such initiatives in war zones, bringing together His people from the various sides of the conflicts.
We found that 2 Chron. 7:14 does work and that when divisions among the church leaders have been addressed through confession and forgiveness, followed by heart-united prayer, an unexpected peace agreement would often be implemented by the political leaders soon after, even the next day or within a few days.
During those years, colleagues and I witnessed in wonder the Healer of the Nations bringing 9 civil wars to an end this way.
Let’s pray for the same kind of thing to happen again with both Russian and Ukrainian participation.!!
It is sensitive and difficult to pull off, but God through our prayers can do all things as we all know.
*** AMEN ***
Message from Cindy Jacobs:
We are watching in shock as the nation of Ukraine is under assault by a neighboring country. In my video above I give an in-depth background and appeal for what I am sharing with you here. Please take the time to view it.
It is important to both understand and practice what has been given to us in scripture in this time of war.
"Now my beloved ones, I have saved these most important truths for last: Be supernaturally infused with strength through your life union with the Lord Jesus. Stand victorious with the force of his explosive power flowing in and through you. Put on God’s complete set of armor provided for us, so that you will be protected as you war against the evil strategies of the accuser! Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities, and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods, and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage." (Ephesians 6:10-12; TPT)
In the midst of our prayer times, we must understand that there is a second front to any war—the prayer front. Our battle is supernatural in nature.
In fasting and praying to understand which of the powers of darkness, or territorial spirits, are fighting right now in Ukraine, I understood that it is Perun, the god of war. As one studies the history of Ukraine and Russia, we know that they were one country ruled by Vladimir. In his pre-Christian days, (and the latter case could be debated), they worshiped Perun. This spirit wants its complete territory back.
Many nations have at one time worshipped the god of war. It seems like the gods of war are arising again and want to set nation against nation. This could lead to World War III.
In my book, Possessing the Gates of the Enemy, I taught how to deal with these spirits in a safe way. We are clearly given authority over them in the book of Ephesians.
I am calling the generals of God on a worldwide scale, and believers everywhere, to set aside a time to pray that the war in Ukraine stop. Also, this does not need to spread to all of Europe and the nations of the world. God loves both the Ukrainian and Russian people. It is not His will that thousands perish; many that may not know Him.
A combined consensus of a number of different prayer movements around the world is that we should set aside March 16th, which is biblical Purim, to pray that the powers of darkness affecting both the Ukrainian and Russian conflict, and each of our nations, be bound concerning war.
Many intercessors in the United States feel that Baal, the storm god of war, is the strongman that we are fighting here over our nation. We are being sent dreams that tell of Washington, D.C., Seattle, Washington, and other cities being bombed. Prayer leaders from Alaska are interceding against an invasion. Leaders in Taiwan and other Asian nations are concerned about a take-over from China. Ancient animosities all over the world are being triggered.
The story of Purim was one of deliverance from a power far greater than the Jews. Haman looked invincible, but God intervened after prayer and fasting. We must believe that God will do the same for our nations today.
Let’s put out Shields Up together and hold the line!
ZOOM Call scheduled for Noon EST
We will also hold another two hour zoom call as a Global Day of Repentance, where there will be times in private to repent personally from any old sin patterns, thereby making the intercession that much more powerful. As it's the effective, fervent prayers of a righteous person that avails much. (James 5:16). Removing in private our own sin patterns grows us in His Righteousness.
At that point we can move, as His vessels, towards being those the Lord Jesus Christ spoke about in the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5:8-9: " Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God."
Contact Pastor Jeff Daly via e-mail pastorjeff@repentday.com for all the Zoom details, or if you register with us, you will also receive all the Zoom information and more via our regular news letters…
