The word means to tear apart. My prophet Joel spoke My words directed towards those who would be living in the last days just before My return: Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn you even to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning. And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents him of the evil. Who knows if He will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind Him...."
Rending the garments was a custom that people had to demonstrate their desire to repent either for themselves or for their nation. I do not require an outward sign of repentance. Instead, I want those who believe in Me to daily offer their hearts to Me in true repentance.
Your nation is experiencing desperate circumstances. I promise to heal your land if My people will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways (repent). Many are praying for revival to come to your nation, but this will only come when My people repent. Pray for My Spirit to stir the gift of repentance in you and all those who believe in Me.
JOEL 2;12-13; 2 CHRONICLES 7:14
