The trumpets are sounding among the Lord's people right now in this nation. This ministry is one of them. The call of the Lord for us is to repent. That means to turn from our ways of neglecting the voice of the Lord and allowing our nation to turn it's back on the Lord by removing the bible from our schools, by allowing Hollywood to put forth the trash that teaches our young people against the principles of the Kingdom of God, by allowing our government to pass laws that are in direct opposition to the Word of God, by allowing our television networks to spew their poisonous propaganda and allowing our schools of higher learning to hire professors who are atheist and teach our young people against the Lord.

The Lord said in 2 Cron. 7:13-15, (NIV)

When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague 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 I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place."

You may say to me, "Well David we are outnumbered now in America by those who don't believe in the Lord! How can we stop what is happening by repenting now?" Remember what Abraham did in Gen. 18:32, (NIV)

Then he said,(Abaraham) "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" God answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it."

There are way more than 10 in the United States, in fact I would say millions, that worship the Lord and we have the authority to rebuke any plague that may come our way.

Jesus said in Matt. 18:18-20,

Verily I say unto you, "Whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. "

This is a very powerful promises by the Lord. This is even more powerful than what God told the Israelites in Lev. 26:8,

"And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight."

We say that we believe that Jesus only spoke the truth about God's promises but do you believe what he said here? Look, I didn't say these words, Jesus did. If you don't believe them, that's between you and Jesus. As for me and my house, we believe what He said. I made a resolute decision when the Lord touched me when I was 34 years old that I would stake my life on the Word of God no matter what the circumstances were and I would confront the situation by quoting what the Word said about it. Believe me, when you make that commitment the devil will test it with everything he has.

The Lord is calling His people, those whom He has given His righteousness to, to awaken from their slumber and join together to repent, not only for our nation, but for their complacency for allowing all those things to happen in our nation. The United States was prophesied into existence by Jacob when he prophesied the blessings that God had given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to Ephraim and Manasseh, Gen. 48:15-16 & 19-20,

"And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn. And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day, The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth."

"Concerning Manasseh he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh."

The only two nations since that time that have become a multitude of nations and a great nation is the British Empire and the United States of America. If you have doubts of this go to my website and read about Who Is Zerah and Perez?

There, I go into all kinds of evidence that Jeremiah took King Zedekiah's daughter to Ireland and married her to a descendent of Zarah thus healing the breach and assuring that there would always be a descendent of David on the throne until Jesus comes. This is where Jeremiah fulfilled his mission to plant and build.

To peak your interest let me ask you a question. In Matt. 1:1-7 it says,

"The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren; And Judah begat Phares and Zara of Thamar."

Question, Why does it name the twins of Judah? What is there between those two boys that should attract our attention? Study carefully the account of the birth of these two. If you do research on these two boys it will astound you where it leads you. It will lead you to a dead end and the Bible will not tell you about the second phase of the commission the Lord gave to Jeremiah. I will give you secular evidence to where Jeremiah took the Kings daughter and why he did this.Go to www.rejoicinglifeministries.com and scroll down to Who is Zarah and Perez, The lost Tribes of Iarael and Tephi, Daughter of King Zedekiah

The Lord loves this nation and has blessed us above all the nations on the earth because He has given us the blessings of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He is now blowing a trumpet through His prophets to call His people back to Him so He can pour out unbelievable blessings on all nations through the leadership of this great nation. The Church in America has obeyed the scripture that all nations who bless Israel will be blessed. There is a deeper reason why our hearts are tender toward the nation of Israel. The reason is because we are made up mainly by the Ten Tribes of Israel. What the world and the Church don't know is that the Ten Tribes of Israel are not Jews. The Jews were made up of The Tribe of Judah. The Ten Tribes of Israel were referred to in the Bible as The House of Israel and were not known as Jews. The Jews consisted of the Tribe of Judah and Benjamin. This is why when the Ten Tribes were scattered among the nations they mingled in with them and was not detected as brothers with the Jews. We have always had a tender heart toward the Jewish Nation because they are our family. This is why the blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has blessed this nation and caused us to reign supreme among all the nations.

Isaiah said in Is. 60:1-22, (NIV)

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. "Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the hip. Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come. Herds of camels will cover your land, young camels of Midian and Ephah. And all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and incense and proclaiming the praise of the LORD. All Kedar's flocks will be gathered to you, the rams of Nebaioth will serve you; they will be accepted as offerings on my altar, and I will adorn my glorious temple.

"Who are these that fly along like clouds, like doves to their nests? Surely the islands look to me;(British Isles) in the lead are the ships of Tarshish, bringing your children from afar, with their silver and gold, to the honor of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor.

"Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you. Though in anger I struck you, in favor I will show you compassion. Your gates will always stand open, they will never be shut, day or night, so that people may bring you the wealth of the nations- their kings led in triumphal procession. For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly ruined.

"The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the juniper, the fir and the cypress together, to adorn my sanctuary; and I will glorify the place for my feet. The children of your oppressors will come bowing before you; all who despise you will bow down at your feet and will call you the City of the LORD, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

"Although you have been forsaken and hated, with no one traveling through, I will make you the everlasting pride and the joy of all generations. You will drink the milk of nations and be nursed at royal breasts. Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Instead of bronze I will bring you gold, and silver in place of iron. Instead of wood I will bring you bronze, and iron in place of stones. I will make peace your governor and well-being your ruler.

"No longer will violence be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders, but you will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise. The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.

Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end. Then all your people will be righteous and they will possess the land forever. They are the shoot I have planted, the work of my hands, for the display of my splendor. The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the LORD; in its time I will do this swiftly."

This promise has yet to be fulfilled. Notice He said, in its time He would do this. That time is arriving when the fulfilllment of this promise will come to pass and our president's decision to move our Embassy to Jerusalem is an indication of this.

Jesus said in Matt. 5:13-16,

"You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men You are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

The Word of the Lord to His Church today is, "Awake thou that sleepiest!" Paul said in Eph. 5:8-20, (NIV)

"For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.

This is why it is said: "Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." Be very careful, then, how you live, not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."

The biggest obstacle to our repentance is what comes out of our mouth! It's one thing to say I repent but the proof of that is how we live our lives. We can repent one minute and the next minute, because of circumstances, we turn right back around. We can say we believe but when put to the test we confess that we are not sure. Doubt, worrying and fear are in the same category. Fear and doubt are nothing less than faith in the negative. We as children should be the most optimistic people in the world because we should know that God is in control and all things are possible for us if we believe. We should know how to call those things that be not in the natural world out of the spiritual world by our faith.

As you know, Jesus was our example to know how to be led of the Spirit of the Lord. We read in Luke that immediately following His baptism the Spirit led him into the wilderness to be tried of the devil. So you want to be a follower of Jesus? Are you ready to be led into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil? Why would the Lord do this to His Son? He did it to give Jesus the opportunity to defeat satan! John said in 1 John 3:8,

"For this  purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."   

How did Jesus succeed in defeating the devil? He spoke the Word of God to Him by saying, "It is written!" That is how we can defeat satan but we must know what the word says and then we must declare the word with our mouth in faith!

The Holy Spirit will lead us through many trials in order to mature us and teach us how to use the words of the Lord to defeat the evil one. This is something that doesn't happen over night! It is a process of learning to activate the word of God by speaking and declaring it in every circumstance that comes our way.

I know that some of the things I have shared with you in this lesson you probably have never heard. Jesus said in His sermon on the mount, "Seek and you shall find!" The Holy Spirit wants to reveal to you the secrets of The Kingdom and He will if you will mediate on the word and turn your ear to hear from Him. Jesus said in Rev. 3:6,

"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches."
