Repent

The interesting thing about the word Repent is that it was the first word Yeshua started His ministry with. Then to top it off in the book of Revelation here Christ again is telling the churches to repent again. There was only two churches not told to repent and it was the church of Philadelphia and the church of Smyrna so only two churches out of 7 churches had it correct. This is how Yeshua started His ministry:

Matthew 4:17 (KJV) From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

So Yeshua started with calling for repentance, then it was recorded by John that there was baptizing done:

John 4:1-2 (KJV) When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

Then stated again about Yeshua's ministry this was said:

Matthew 9:13 (KJV) But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

So Yeshua was setting the example of where and how to begin. First came repentance, then the baptism and then the following of the teachings of Yeshua. Regarding the call for the church to repent in Revelations that I will have to ponder a bit... our walk is individual, and how does a church even repent?

Father, Yeshua said to pray the Lord of the harvest. Matthew 9:38 (KJV) Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. You are Lord of all Father, I ask you send forth labourers into the harvest. I ask in Yeshua's name Father, Yeshua said the only way for people to come to him is if you draw them. John 6:44 (KJV) No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. Father I ask you draw people to Yeshua for the great harvest. I ask in Yeshua's name
