– For not knowing how You work, not knowing Your ways….prayer and fasting
– Believing in a gospel of works. Not devoted to following God, but man-made rules instead.
– Promoting a religion of works. They stood for their religious system rather than for God, His Word & His Messiah. It was all about power, control & money.
– Using religious rituals for personal gain. All done for profit, the perversion of justice & truth to enrich themselves.
– Selective “obedience” to God’s Word done in hypocrisy & in a manipulating fashion. Using “their power” to pervert the law rather than to enforce it properly.
– Emphasizing the importance of religious ritual over true relationship with God & fellow man
– Making others unrighteous & defiled through cross-contamination.
– Believing themselves righteous (self-righteous).
– The main point of the 7 woes is central point #4 (selective obedience to God’s Word). Cherry-picking things we prefer in the Bible & ignoring the things we don’t like. All the while living in rebellion to God’s authority, by just pretending & going through the motions outwardly, but acting like you are righteous & holy. This air of self-righteousness superiority stinks and gives off a stench that many today can see right through & actually moves the lost further away from God. The false teachers of all the ages have operated in this spirit forever. They universally share a love of money & an insatiable drive to gain it through corrupt religious practices. Peter calls it “the way of Balaam” in 2 Peter 2:15.
– All of these can be seen clearly operating in the corrupt corporation churches today. They all seem to be driven by the love of money & are frequently caught acting contrary to their words. Jesus as well as His apostles repeatedly warn us of watching out for false teachers. They selectively interpret a Bible verse out of context that actually contradicts the major teachings of the entire Bible. So why does this work so well? Because the majority of the people do not read God’s Word, let alone studying it.
– So we repented for the lack of leadership in the churches. We repented for the fact that the majority of Christians do not read the Bible. We repented for the majority of evangelicals do not believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, and therefore do NOT have a biblical worldview. We repented for the spirit of the 7 churches in the book of Revelation which seem to all have these same similar flaws & traits. We repented for our lack of stepping up and speaking out & challenging the corrupt hypocrite leadership. We also repented for our own words that have been spoken without love and actually spoken as curses. We prayed for Holy boldness and unity.
– We don’t trust in the Lord; We are not picking up our own cross; We don’t crucify our own flesh
– All we want is milk, and we don’t want the meat of the Word (as a result, we have too many 40-year old babies who refuse to grow up)
– Leadership in the church is not leading in a way that pleases God
– We have allowed abortion and not fought hard enough against it
– Sexual misconduct in the church leadership and in the body of Christ
– We are not living in purity and holiness; We are setting bad examples for our children
– We want to be entertained in church; We are watching R-rated movies and even let our children watch these things; We are enticed by Babylon; We love sin more than God
– We don’t run away from sin (we should be like Joseph, running from Potiphar’s wife)
– We don’t share the gospel with our neighbors; We walk in fear instead of walking in faith
– We are lifted up in pride; We think that we are always right; We are not dying to ourselves every day
– We are not taking responsibility; We are not speaking the truth; We are preoccupied with things of the world; We left our First Love and put the world first
– God has called some Christians into politics but they have refused, resulting in not enough righteous people being in politics; We are disobedient; We have not spent enough time reading the Word
We have become lukewarm.
– rejected the leadership of Holy Spirit, fear of what you might do, not allow
Spirit to lead the church -Isaiah 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither
are your ways my ways,”
– deny and neglect Power and Authority we have capitulated to the devil
– water down the gospel, accepted the teaching of the culture, accepted it Ok with
immorality, prayer for sexual purity, and Holiness
– Not responding to your voice when you speak John 10, overcome doubt and fear
– even in the church Jezebel acceptance, anti-God message
– I Thes. 5:19 not quench the Holy Spirit; Eph 4:40 do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,
– Accepting immoral/anti-God messages in form of entertainment
– James 3 not tamed the tongue – criticize make accusations over leadership and others agreeing with Satan who accuses us day and night Rev. 12:10
– not believing all scripture of God’s word- Rev.22:18 – everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.
– repent of laziness and compliance
– Forgiveness of the church for not seeking your power and not taking our places as true disciples. Unbelief, pride of life, and tolerating Jezebel. The love of money, tolerating hirelings, and not seeking out true shepherds. Ezekiel 34 shared. Lack of love and judgmentalism. Sexual sins, pornography, pedophilia, homosexuality and adultery are tolerated. Not equipping ourselves to engage the culture. Self-promotion.

30 Days of Confession, Repentance, and Prayer for the Healing of our Nation
August 31 – September 29, 2021
“When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence 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 will forgive their sin and heal their land.“
2 Chronicles 7:13-14
We of the 24/7 NSPC have been engaged in a spiritual battle…a warfare of love…interceding hourly on behalf of our nation for the past 4¾ years, beginning on November 11, 2016. Today, we enter into 30 Days of Confession, Repentance, and Prayer for the Healing of our Nation, answering the call of God to come together, fall on our knees and confess the sin of our nation, repenting corporately before Him. When we do, His promise is that He will “hear from heaven, forgive our sin and heal our land!”
Our corporate sin has allowed the undermining and erosion of the very foundations of this nation! Heeding the words of Ezra 10:4, we acknowledge “arise, for this matter is our responsibility.” Receiving conviction for the sin of this nation in our hearts, we will be empowered to confess and repent for those sins, then pray effectively for the healing of our nation!
Over the next 30 days, as we identify, confess and repent for our national sins, we will trust God for the healing He promises in His Word. This is a battle, and it must be engaged in by individuals, families, churches and communities. It is an all-out war against the American way of life…and “We, The People” are under attack! Unless the Body of Christ repents and rises up in prayer, the United States will have no future.
Like the Jews in Susa, we have been given permission with the legal right and responsibility to fight and defend ourselves and our land. And fight we must…for our very lives and the lives of our families depend on it!
“The king granted the Jews who were in each and every city the right to assemble and to defend their lives,
to destroy, to kill and to annihilate the entire army of any people or province which might attack them,
including children and women, and to plunder their spoil, on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus…”
Esther 8:11-12
Like the people of Israel working with Nehemiah, we have been on the wall, watching and rebuilding with both trowel and sword in hand! We have built…now we fight!
“When I saw their fear, I rose and spoke to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people:
‘Do not be afraid of them; remember the Lord who is great and awesome,
and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives and your houses.’”
Nehemiah 4:14
True corporate repentance does not happen spontaneously. It first takes place in individual hearts, is nurtured by prayer and fasting, and is then birthed into the larger arena. Prior to every national awakening in the United States, there was an emphasis on confession and prayer, fueled by authentic repentance. In Scripture, we see that solemn assemblies were called by priests, prophets or kings, for the entire nation, and throughout our US history, we have had 788 solemn assemblies for national repentance.
The blessing of national repentance is not only that God heals and blesses a nation, but also that a passion for His Presence is stirred up in the Body of Christ…and oh, how we need that now! Having begun this time of 30 Days of Confession, Repentance, and Prayer for the Healing of our Nation on August 31, 2021, we will conclude it by WELCOMING THE KING OF GLORY into all 50 states and territories, simultaneously, on September 29, 2021, during the feast of SIMCHAT TORAH, “The Joy of the Torah.” As Christians, our joy is found in the Living Torah…Jesus Christ, the Word of God!
We prayerfully invite all Christian believers, from each of our 50 States and Territories, to join us in this initiative. Like David’s mighty men, let us all awaken, arise, and adore our GOD… taking our stand and holding our ground!
Amen! Alleluia!
