The Call to Action

God is calling you—calling us—to repentance today.  Not tomorrow.  Not when we feel ready.  Now.

Our personal sins need repentance, our national sins need repentance, and our country needs restoration.  The time is urgent.

Will you answer His call?

Our path to revival begins on our knees.

“Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.”  Joel 2:13

Corporate Repentance: Our Nation’s Need

Our nation is in crisis.  We are caught in the grip of civil strife, sharp political and cultural discord, rampant crime and lawlessness, and exploitation and neglect of those in need.  We have a growing sense of dread and fear.

We cannot stop this spiraling descent into turmoil on our own. The need is greater than ever for people of faith to acknowledge God’s supremacy and sovereignty over our nation and to humble ourselves before Him.

We must:
Admit that we need Him and cannot save ourselves.
Declare His sovereignty and ask Him to take over.
Ask him to move in powerful ways to redeem and heal our nation.

King Solomon understood this when he prayed:
“When they sin against you—for there is no one who does not sin—and you become angry with them and give them over to their enemies and if they have a change of heart and repent and plead with you and say we have sinned we have done wrong we have acted wickedly and if they turn back to you with all their heart and soul than from heaven your dwelling place hear their prayer and their plea and uphold their cause.” 1 Kings 8:46-49

Individual Repentance: Your Personal Revival

Repentance begins when each of us comes into God’s presence to humble ourselves daily before Him, inviting revival in our heart, home, community and nation.  Repenting points us toward our right relationship with God and reminds us that we cannot save ourselves. This is true for our nation and for us individually.

Pray for God to give you:
Insight to see your sin clearly
Courage to look inward honestly
Humility to confess genuinely
Faith to embrace God’s forgiveness

“Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.”  Isaiah 55:6-7

The Joy of Repentance

Repentance is not meant to crush us with shame. It is meant to free us into joy.

When we repent, we experience:
Freedom from the burden of guilt
Peace with God and with ourselves
Joy and knowing we are forgiven and clean
Hope for a transformed future

“Repent then and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out, the times of refreshing may come from the Lord” Acts 3:19

“There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”  Romans 8:1
