Disciples Divine Design – Moadiym

The Moedim are:

the Appointed Times of the Lord

or also called

The 7 Feasts.

They can also be seen as

The Divine Design for Discipleship,

simply because they are an annual cyclical sequence of reminders to aid the observers to keep moving forward on the straight and narrow WAY.

These times are much more than an opportunity to focus on the Hebraic roots of our faith and beliefs. They are more than simply days to think on the prophetic meanings without physical participation, even though they are essentially fulfilled through Jesus/Yeshua’s Life, death and resurrection.

These Moadiym/Moedim, offer great spiritual insight and give us a unique opportunity for being discipled by His Holy Spirit/Ruach haKodesh; as we walk in the WAY of His Son, ever moving towards realizing our full potential and servant-hood for our Heavenly Father.

As we spend time learning their meaning in light of Jesus/ Yeshua and then living out the fullness of each of the Moedim as it relates to a disciples lifestyle; believers in Messiah will draw closer to Him and in that personal and intimate relationship, will become that much more effective and victorious. (Living a life of victory for and in Yeshua/Jesus.)

Sukkot (Hebrew: סוכות ‎ or סֻכּוֹת Hebrew pronunciation: , sukkōt; traditional Ashkenazi spelling: Sukkos/Succos),

commonly called the Feast of Tabernacles or in some translations the Festival of Shelters, and known also as the

Feast of Ingathering

(חג האסיף, Chag HaAsif),

Sukkot at the Western (Wailing) Wall, Israel.

It is a biblical Jewish holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the seventh month, Tishrei (varies from late September to late October). (October 2-9, 2020) one of the three biblically based pilgrimage holidays (chaggim or regalim) of the year.

It is the time to give thanks and appreciate the shelters of our homes and bodies as Sukkot is a hut-like structure in which the children of Israels lived when they were traveling during 40 wilderness years.

While walking through the seasons and the corresponding Moedim each year, we must allow His spirit/ruach to sow into us the deep truths that each Moed is designed to help us remember, integrating the revelations into our understanding and spiritual perception.

The end goal being, that our Heavenly Father may gather in a great harvest through us, for His glory and to lift up His Name and the Name of His Son Jesus/Yeshua, our Savior and soon returning King.

Why observe and why bother with these old testament feasts?

One good reason is the root of the words disciple, which is discipline. Paul is the great example, 

1Corinthians 9:24. 

But what made him so effective? Discipline! And the fact that he was successful because he understood the importance of submission to the Lord.

We are well aware that discipline is the key to perseverance, yet many times we allow our flesh to determine our tolerance level. If we submit to fathers discipline as Yeshua/Jesus did…

..rather than what we think we are able to endure, it teaches us our true potential and everything becomes less of an overwhelming mountain. Then we can run the race, however if we refused to submit to the discipline of our heavenly father – the race makes us – So we need His discipline to become His disciples and run to win on the straight and narrow way; leaving the flesh in the dust that it was formed from and will one day return to.

Yom Kippur just past as an appointed time of meeting with God.

The day of atonement –

at one ment

– is not so much a feast day as others but rather a day of

repentance/teshuvah.

It is significant to all, not just for Israel.

Paul refers to it

Saying the fast had already gone by.

in Acts. 27:9

It is a time for thinking,

assessing,

keeping the flesh and its desires under.

We are not perfect and all of us are working out our salvation. Walking daily in repentance and forgiveness in newness of life dealing with daily sin as it becomes an issue, thoughts attitudes etc..

We need to vow each year to be better than the year just passed.

It is the one day a year the High Priest enters into the Holy of Holies where the ark is, to take the blood of the sacrifice and place it on the Mercy seat Kapporet/ lid of the ark, between the cherubim, where rested the presence of God/the throne of His presence.. Leviticus 23:26 – 32

This action was to atone for his and the people sins. The High Priest wore all the symbolic clothing and the light of God’s Shekinah filled the Holy of Holies where there was no other source of light. Hebrews 9:24 Jesus/Yeshua became our High Priest; Hebrews 6:20, when He presented Himself to the Father. He told Mary I have not yet ascended to My Father don’t touch Me. (This may have been because it would’ve caused uncleanness before He ascended?) The real ark/ mercy seat/ throne/ His presence – is in the heavenlies/ha shamayim. And Yeshua/Jesus’ blood paid the price for all time. Hebrews 3:1; 2:14; 4:14; 5:9; 9:7; 9:11.

To be a propitiation means to be the agent through whom forgiveness and atonement can be achieved.

Yom Ha Kipuriym – Day of the Atonements.

יום הכיפורים‬

It is the holiest day on Israel’s calendar perhaps even surpassing the 7th day Shabbat.. Like the 7th day, Yom Ha Kipuriym is designated a Shabbat Shabbaton. This means it is a day to stop from all kinds of work and to rest completely once a year and begins the evening before at sundown.

Not primarily a feast because it is a day to deny self or afflict ones soul. As the High Priest performs the atonement for himself, the altar, the Tabernacle and the whole community of Israel; the people participate through their non participation! Not only are they not to come near the Holy place on this day but are to deny their own existence. They are in essence – to: stop being. By not even giving in to themselves for basic needs such as food and water.

Like Passover/Pesach, many scholars agree that Yom Ha Kipuriym find it’s clear fulfillment in Jesus/Yeshua as He is both High Priest and our sacrifice. He atoned for us once and for all and is continually making intercession for us before the Father

Intercession is more than prayer:

It is entering in and making a difference in someone’s life.

In Greek it is ENTUGCHANO, meaning to petition or to intercede.

The act of intervening or mediating between differing parties; particularly the act of praying to God on behalf of another person.

In Hebrew: PAGA – פָגַע. – paw-gah’. 

A primitive root; to impinge, by accident or violence, or (figuratively) by importunity — come (betwixt), cause to entreat, fall (upon), make intercession, intercessor, to meet, encounter, reach.

Intercession is prayer that pleads with God for your needs and the needs of others. But it is also much more than that. Intercession involves taking hold of God’s will and refusing to let go until His will comes to pass. Intercession is warfare  fighting the good fight of FAITH– the key to God’s battle plan for our lives.

He does not need to make sacrifices for Himself and for us year after year in order to atone for our sins.

It is already been accomplished forever.

Our self denial on this day therefore does not cause, aid or enhance our atonement but allows us to become acutely aware of our own mortality, our sin, our need for atonement and our desire for life. At the same time it causes us to appreciate on some very tiny level the sacrifice Messiah made on our half as He denied His own life. The sanctity and holiness of this day cannot be overstated.

Though we may find great joy in our eternal atonement in Messiah Yeshua, this is a day for remembering that atonement (at one ment) in such a way that will be very hard to forget. We ought to be completive, repentant, humble and dead/ die to self. We are to remember that we live and breathe only because the Father chooses. And that by His choice, He has the power to take it away as well.

These are the themes to think on, that without Messiah, we are truly hopeless, without hope, truly dead,

but

through His atoning blood and intercession

we are truly alive forevermore.

Five days after Yom Ha Kipuriym on the 15th day Office seventh month for seven days is the feast of the tabernacles Chag ha Sukot . (Leviticus 23:33-36, 39; 40-43)

Also called Chag ha Asif – feast of the ingathering….

Why?

Because it occurs at the outgoing of the year when you gather in the fruit of your labor from the field. Lev.23:16

Like the feast of Matzah (unleavened bread), Sukot (Sukkot) lasts for seven days and is a time of great celebration. It is different to Matzah in the way that only the first day of Sukot is a holy convocation. On this day Israel is commanded to do no regular work and to rest.

The main focus is the SUKAH – booth or tabernacle, constructed from various trees and flora from around Jerusalem. This is to remind the Israelites that brought them out of Egypt.

The spiritual significance is of

divine protection,

deliverance and

provision.

The temporary and flimsy construction of the SUKAH reminds us of our own weakness, fragile and temporary condition of our physical bodies that we dwell in on earth.

It is also symbolic of how Adonai

cares for us,

shades us, and

hides us from the elements that focus on our destruction.

(Those that would seek to steal, kill & destroy, prince of the power of the air)

At the time of the final ingathering we are to celebrate with overwhelming joyfulness that:

1. He has delivered us.

2. Watched over us.

3. Will soon be taking us to dwell permanently with Him in the SUKAH that will have no end.

The seventh day became known as

Hashanna Rabba

and was celebrated with a huge water libation ceremony to ask for abundant rain over the coming season.

 

This was the moment Jesus/Yeshua cried out…

The Eighth Day assembly.

In the scriptures: Leviticus 23: 36, 40. Nehemiah 8:14. 

it is written that this is to be observed

On the 22nd day of the seventh month.

The 7 day Sukot is the last moed of the year.

Yom HaShmiyniy Atzaret – The 8th day assembly.

The commands for this day are simply:

do no regular work, rest and assemble together.

It is a time to say goodbye to Sukot and the past years moedim/moadiym.

It is time to rest and reflect

but also a time to look forward to the future

because in six months time,

the cycle of life and annual rehearsal for the ultimate wedding of all time begins again.

Though this moed is often deemed insignificant or instead celebrated as Simchat Torah (Joy of the Torah) which is an extra biblical Jewish holiday; it can also be very meaningful as we look back at the journey along the WAY that we have just completed.

The cycle of life that has come full circle and also to look forward to the new one that lies ahead.

Messiah fulfilled an intermediate fulfillment of all three Fall Feasts at His first coming:

1.) Announcement: Yom Teruw’ah, ushering in the King.

2.) Circumcision: Yom Kippur, removal of the veil (foreskin) called “face-to-face.”

3.) Dwelling with us: Sukkot; dwelt with us in a corruptible body.

John 1:14. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among & we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth.

If Jesus/Yeshua was born on the 1st day of Sukkot, the 15th day of the 7th month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord?  Lev.23:34,

Then He would have been circumcised on the eighth great day – a festival following sukkot,

Shemini Atsaret – Eighth Day of Solemn Assembly

is a festival observed immediately after Sukkot Tabernacles,

i.e. on 22nd Tishrei (the seventh month) Luke 9:23

Messiah will fulfill all three Fall Feasts at His second coming: 

1.) Husband Ushering in the Bride: Yom Teruw’ah.

2.) Husband removes veil from the bride’s face: Yom Kippur.

3.) Husband consummates the marriage with the 4th cup: Sukkot; Dwells with bride for 1,000 years of Sabbath rest.

Coming very soon – so let’s keep looking up!

Luke 2:10, 11

https://www.minimannamoments.com/because-he-came/

This story would have ended at Malachi in The Bible if Messiah Jesus/Yeshua had not come.

May our hearts and prayers reach out to the ends of the earth, to those who have no ‘Christmas day’, in that they have no good news of the Savior King.

Nehemiah 8:10

“Send portions to them for whom nothing is prepared”.

He was born INTO this world not FROM it.

He did not emerge OUT of history.

He came INTO history FROM the outside.

He is not man BECOMING God, He is God incarnate BECOMING INTO human flesh FROM OUTSIDE it.

He must also COME INTO us from OUTSIDE. Galatians 4:19

All lives must become a

Bethlehem for God’s Son –

A house of bread..

we must be born again. John 3:7

For all those who are tired and weary at this time, or those who are alone during this season. Be encouraged and know that He sees you and loves you very much.

Consider 1Kings 19:7

For this is what He did for His tired servant.

The journey is too great for thee and I am going to refresh you.

He gave him something good to eat and put him to sleep.

Elijah had done an amazing thing but it has been too much for his physical strength; and then the inevitable result became clear and he became depressed.

Every human being has a physical need to be cared for and what many people want and need is a good nights sleep, plus whatever else ails them physically needs to be attended to.

Throughout the generations many have ended up under the Juniper tree!

Here is where it is very soothing to hear the words of Jesus.

The journey is too great for you and I am going to refresh you.

He also told His disciples to..

Come apart and rest awhile. Mark 6:31

Here we must remember not to confuse physical weariness with spiritual weakness.

There comes a time when we need to recharge our batteries…

Be encouraged while reading the following lines:

When we are too tired to trust and too tired to pray and our over taxed strength gives way, the thought comes to mind, just drop it all and rest.

Then we wonder if God will forgive us if we go right to sleep just as a baby does, without asking if we may and without even trying to trust and pray.

We should remember that before we could even talk those raising us did not deny us needed rest and did not refuse to cradle us while we slept.

Those watching over us were quick to see what we needed and to make provision for our natural necessities and to guard us and keep us safe.

It’s okay to just drop it all and give up to rest – Our Heavenly Father knows all about it and we just need to go to sleep as a baby does.

He knows when His child is too tired to pray and does not judge us alone by the prayers we say, because He knows our innermost heart.

  1. He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3.  And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” 

He knows when we do pray and He knows when we do trust and He knows the limits of our human bodies. This was evident in the garden when He told His disciples to take their rest, while He took upon Himself the burden that no one else could bear.

Then he cometh to his disciples, and saith to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest. Matthew 26:45

If we are saved then we have given our life up to Him to keep, so we don’t need to be afraid to go right to sleep.

Ps 37:7 Rest in the LORD because rest allows our mind, body, and soul to renew and then continue with even more strength and focus. 

Psalm 27

Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Is 40:29 The LORD gives strength to those who are weary. 

He strengthens those who are weak and tired. He gives strength to the weary and strengthens the powerless. He’s the one who gives might to the faint, renewing strength for the powerless.

Rest in the Lord.

He knows you are facing challenges.

He’s just waiting for you to run to Him. The Savior understands.

In fact, as the word of God says in Hebrews 4:15, He is touched by the feeling of our infirmities. The Lord empathizes with you. You are not alone.

Just be quiet and confident in Him, be anxious for nothing and cast all your cares upon Him.

Psalm 4:8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety. 

And I shall lie down and sleep, because you, Lord Jehovah, make me dwell alone in stillness.

I fall asleep in peace the moment I lie down because you alone, O LORD, enable me to live securely.

Shalom – peace and rest to all family and friends!

Let the love of Our Heavenly Father sustain and encompass us as we learn to rest in Him and He will give us strength.

Please Don’t leave this page until you are certain He is the giver of your rest. 

It’s all about Life and Relationship, NOT Religion.

You are greatly loved and precious in His sight.

How is Yovel Connected To The Fingerprint of God, Keys of Light, The Shofar and Jubilee?

If the Creator has a plan, then it must be accessible, comprehensible and applicable, or it would not be a plan. It would be an imagined dream, without substance or realization. It is however a reality that truth is tangible and has a beginning and an end. His blueprint is encapsulated within everything down to the DNA of each creature.

Every detail is precise and intrinsic within His design.

All creation declares the sovereignty of the Lord.

Click link  https://www.minimannamoments.com/eternity-of-eternities/

Sovereignty of God.

“The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever” 

Psalm 29:10.

Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.

To say that God is Sovereign is to declare that He is the Almighty, the Possessor of all power in Heaven and earth, so that none can defeat His counsels, thwart His purpose, or resist His will. Psalm 115:3.

To say that God is Sovereign is to declare that He is “The Governor among the nations”. Psalm 22:28.

Psalm 19:1 “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”

John 1:3 “Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” 

Psalm 95:3-5 “For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods.

Psalm 41:1-2: “The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; 2 for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.”

The Psalmist often worshipped God because God rescued him; Psalm 18:16-17, provided for him, Psalm 23:1; and led him.Ps. 32:8.

God is not haphazard, nothing is by chance. Everything is calculated and ordained to coalesce with His timed order of events, of which we are an integral part.

The mystery of the gospel was encoded within the Word of God, Who, Himself created the heavens and the earth.

His specific sequence of unfolding events, are the fulfillment of almost 6000 years of prophetic declarations.

The types and shadows and patterns are most obvious in the cycle of His appointed times in the annual calendar.


This yearly adherence to the rehearsal, is the continuing reminder of the meaning of life; and is so beautifully played out in the appearance of a precisely coordinated theatrical production.

This annual display, has reinforced the habitual observance of the encoded mysteries, the most spectacular of which is about to be revealed, as the culmination of this amazing plan of the ages reaches its zenith.

Which are a shadow of the things to come, the substance of the Messiah. Col.2:17

The end was in the beginning and was foretold before the actual events came to pass in the earth. They are so accurate, that the manifold facts we have recorded in our historical documents, are proof the Word of God is true.

I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come, saying: ’My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’ Is 49:9,10

Berean Study Bible

This is most obvious even in a brief search of the fulfilled prophesies concerning the people and the land of Israel. These facts then inform us that all that is yet to come to pass, is clearly within His Word for us to find.

Both Daniel and John were told to seal up pertinent information and knowledge until the time of the end, when knowledge would be increased; now more than ever in history knowledge is increasing exponentially each and every day.

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.Dan 12:4

Although John’s primary purpose in writing Revelation is to reveal, (Rev.1:1; Rev.22:10), here he is commanded to omit the utterance of the seven thunders from the biblical record.

Rev 10:4

Rev. 22:10 Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of prophecy in this book, because the time is near.” 

Our origins are deeply embedded in the mysteries of the ancient manuscripts; not only confirming what has gone, but warning of the apocalypse/revealing we are right in the midst of today.

The events surrounding our daily lives are being determined by what was written millennia ago; and whether we believe it or not or understanding it or not, it is happening, and progressively unfolding with or without our approval or engagement.

These mysteries are connected to the Jubilee, the Yovel /the Yobel,/the Shofar and were birthed in the wilderness on the top of a mountain.

Lev. 25:10–11; Luke 4:18,19; Galatians 5:1. The Jubilean mysteries began with Moses, in a desert on a mountain called Sinai, where the law of yovel/yobel, or Jubilee, was given.

Leviticus 25:9 (KJV). Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of Atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

These same mysteries have determined the course of human activity causing human empires to rise and to fall, many disappearing from existence entirely with no trace.

As we look at the past, it is important to remember that ancient years were not numbered as we mark them today.

We call messages from God prophecy, which, by its very nature requires faith. It exists whether we believe it or not. Our believing in something, does not make it more real; and not believing it, doesn’t diminish it.

To find out that which we do not know or have, then we have to become receptive to things that we have never known or believed exist.

The signs, the events, and occurrences are not random; there is no chance, no luck, involved in the purpose of life. History, life, and our whole existence, is not an accident. No one is an accident or a mistake.

God’s fingerprint is on all life in the form of patterns.

These are based on what we term as, mathematics and geometrical designs and we have called the golden ratio/Fibonacci sequence.

There have always been Gods’ spokespersons, chosen as vessels to bring forth divine revelation. They could be called, the people of the apocalypse or people of the revealing. Prophets, seers, messengers of, and, sent by God.

Probably the most famous Biblical example that was not from God, one was the oracle at Delphi which was a prophetic phenomenon that existed from 7th century BC to the 4th century AD and was considered to be the most reputable oracle among the Greeks. Acts 16:16

When God declares ahead of time what will be, here’s how He declares it, or says it: saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose.’ Is 46:9-11 In other words, the way He declares His foreknowledge is by declaring His fore-counsel and His fore-purposing.

Prophets, Seers, messengers of God, those chosen as the vessels of divine revelation; not fortune tellers, but forth tellers. Speaking forth the Plan and purpose of God before the events occur; and declaring the details with accuracy that can only come from the God of creation. The One who knows the end from the beginning and everything in between.

Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets. Amos 3:7

These are not tentative predictions or prognostications but the details of events that God is about to do and only He knows what He is about to do, so therefore only He can tell His messengers; so those who don’t hear from God, their messages will not be accurate.

However Jesus said I give you the keys of the kingdom.

“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:19 

The keys to the kingdom of heaven are God’s Words (John 1:12; 17:3). Messiah Himself points that the key referred to here, is the key of knowledge, meaning, this is understanding how to enter the kingdom (Luke 11:52). The words of Jesus/Yeshua are spirit and life to all who receive them (John 6:63).

It is the words of Jesus/ Yeshua that bring eternal life (John 6:68). And they are the keys to the new-birth experience (1 Peter 1:23). And remembering Amos 3:7 Jer.33:3 and  Isaiah 42:9 “Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.”

But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. For he will not speak on his own authority, but will speak whatever he hears, and will tell you what is to come.

Here we have confirmed that we will be shown whatever we need to know before the time.

These keys are spiritual keys to a spiritual kingdom and that kingdom is also within us.

Light is a symbol of truth and revelation of divine origin, so it follows that the keys to the kingdom are keys of light.

They speak of revelation and mysteries that are to be unlocked.

Let’s make sure that the locks on our hearts are accessible for the key of light and we are ready for Him to open to us the revelation of The Truth of His Incomparable and Unconditional Love…

Conclusion in Part 2

Rest assured, our Heavenly Father has all things in His control and in His timing for He has said…

From the beginning I revealed the end. From long ago I told you things that had not yet happened, saying, “My plan will stand, and I’ll do everything I intended to do.”

The Secret of The Letting Down of Wings part 2

Ezekiel 1:25

And there was a

 Strong’s Hebrew 6963

How do we hear the voice of the Lord?

What does it sound like?

They heard the

Voice – קול – Kol 

N A S
and behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the way of the east. And His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east:

and his voice was like a noise of many waters:

and the earth shined with his glory.

It was at the sound

of His VOICE

that they

stood still

and

When they stood

they

let down their wings…

It’s a great example for us to follow

when we hear His VOICE…

we need to stand

and

let down our wings.

Though seeming to be stationary, a humming birds wings are fluttering very fast and even produce a sound.

The sound of movement –

stationary

but not still,

nor silent.

We are often in the posture of quiet and yet our wings are still fluttering, beating against the air of circumstances in our lifes’ situation

and it is not the true place of…

Be STILL

and know that

I AM God/Anochi אָנֹכִ֣י
’ā-nō-ḵî

The original Hebrew Root of BE STILL- har·pū – הַרְפּ֣וּ

Psalm 46:10
HEB: הַרְפּ֣וּ וּ֭דְעוּ כִּי־
NAS: Cease [striving] and know
KJV: Be still, and know that I [am] God:

does not mean

to be quiet

as we understand in English..

It means LET GO..sink, relax

 In other words, we are to LET GO and

surrender

in order to know that

God is in control as

Ribono Shel Olam –  in Aramaic (an ancient language closely related to Hebrew) means:

The Master or King of the World/Universe.

We have to

let go

in order to know and experience His saving power in our lives and that He is in control..

Butterflies,

dragonflies

insects and birds

let down their wings in

REST.

Notice in Rest, nuwach or nuach

pronounced: noo’-akh;  נוּחַ

there are 2 of 3 symbols the same as in the word for Grace – Chen – חַוּ

and it also has the meaning of camped, enter into rest, settle, settled, space, spent, stationed, wait quietly, waited. Strongs 5117

Here in the word rest נוּחַ there is a letter Vav

in between the Chet/fence and Nun/seed 

is sometimes used as the conjunction word AND   (See chart above: top line far right).

If we follow this thought, looking at the other meanings to the pictographs:

the word REST in Paleo Hebrew

could be read as:

nun vav chet translated to

Life And Separation! Wow!

Rest equals life and separation! – this surely is the abundant life for believers in Messiah as His Ecclesia/Called Apart Ones?

When insects let down their wings in

rest

they open them to receive the

sun/sons

life giving-healing rays. Mal.4:2 prophesied that believers in Messiah would receive healing from His wings.

Letting down their wings

in rest

is a visual indication of trust in the safety of that place;

they do not have their wings moving in readiness for leaving, in haste, panic or fear.

The same is also true for us.

We need to get still enough to hear His voice to receive His direction and when we don’t, we go our own way, following our own thought in the matter and the result is disastrous and many times, we have to retrace our steps or go round that mountain one more time! And sometimes this is impossible and the result is devastating.

A helpful image of this is a wave made in a pool, which will move outwards to the perimeter and then rebound and return to the place it began. It takes time to return, depending on the distance to that boundary.

The ripples on the water are unavoidable and cause and effect is a result of all action, whether right or wrong, we set in motion a series of events that can have dire consequences; affecting so much else down the road where we cannot see.

This is why we need His guidance and plan for He is the same yesterday, today and forever and He sees where we don’t. Often our arrogance, combined with self-assured, prideful, self-confident, commonsense, is a recipe for disaster; especially with a lack of spiritual maturity or simply inexperienced youth, which has a tendency to know it all.

Romans 8:5-6 – For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

Romans 12:2 – And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Wasted energy and the time lost, plus resulting negative issues, could have been avoided

if we had simply

let down the wings of our spirit

and got quiet before Him.

Only then the still small voice of true shalom/peace

will softly break the silence

as

we wait in Him

in the shelter

of His presence/throne.

Wait I say wait on the Lord.

To wait on the Lord produces character in the life of the believer, in that it requires patience (James 1:4). Waiting involves the passage of time, which is itself a gift of God.

The word wait in the Bible carries the idea of confident expectation and hope.

Then and only then, (Ezekiel 1:20), can we go forward in the direction of His perfect will. Perfect because it is the best not only for us but also for those within the ripples created by our actions.

Those we initiate and which encompass all within our sphere of influence.

Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! Isaiah 40:31

Perhaps we are waiting on the Lord today for some special blessing in answer to prayer.

As we wait upon God, there are plenty of things we can do to stay strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. (Eph. 6:10) our time of waiting should not be viewed as wasted time.

Yea, wait thou for the LORD. Wait for the LORD; Be strong, and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD. Wait for the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart; wait, I say, for the LORD. Ps 27:14

When we are pushed or pressed into doing or making things happen on our schedule – have to do it now – it’s never the Holy Spirit. Our impatient flesh will always offer a seemingly genuine and common sense reason! Flesh seldom hears God, or obeys His timing, it’s selfish and wants what it wants.. now.

If our impatient flesh acts without the spirit of God, it will, along with ourselves, often cause others to suffer and become a casualty of our irresponsible decisions. A loving parent will never tell one child to do something that will cause problems and hurt another one of their children, especially if it’s to fulfill a personal goal or dream as the expense of the other.

He has no favorites and

The action has a reaction and these two forces, called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton’s third law of motion which is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. For example: If you push on anything, it pushes back on you.

A better way to say it might be: 

A force is exerted by one object on another object. Or: every force involves the interaction of two objects. When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object also exerts a force on the first object. The two forces are equal in strength and oriented in opposite directions.

Why is this relevant?

It means that everything has consequences – nothing is an island unto itself – what we do always has an effect. It’s also true of the spiritual realm, our actions and prayers have both short and long term effects.

It also activates Gods law of like for like which is the essence of an eye for an eye idiom. What we sow we will reap whether we believe it or not, we will receive that harvest. Things may roll along for a while and seem fine but we mustn’t be deceived, God is not mocked and our actions will return back to us, according to His Word.

Be not deceived, God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7

And many times the time between action and reaction is long enough that we don’t see the connection.

He did not say figure it out yourself, plan it and do it. He said wait, and our footsteps will be ordered of the Lord. Preempting His leading and timing is the enemy’s sneaky trick, for we will miss God’s best, even if at the time it seems like we did the right thing.

Our thinking, our way of being and doing, influencing and handling our circumstances directly to our benefit, never leads to His will. The world’s ways are not His ways and when one door closes, or the way forward is barred or difficult, we best not keep pushing to make one open just to get it done in our plan. The subtle danger is that the devil will always supply a solution but on his terms!

Ps 91 calls it the snare of the fowler, because its not a blatantly obvious trap.

His tactic is to catch men in his net.

The enemy plans way in advance as he covers the trap and net putting luring bait out. However, behind the scenes the enemy is there for the believers enticement and destruction.

He uses different weapons and agents in his kingdom to disturb people’s lives particularly the lives of the children of God and he is very intelligent at caging people’s destiny.

And he will supply plenty of circumstantial signs as confirmation, which is easy for him as he is master of the sense realm and is the god of this physical world.

However, the good news is that Ps 91 also promises, The Lord will keep you safe from secret traps,

IF

(conditional)

we dwell in the secret place of the Most High under the feathers of His Wings.

Many times we think we hear God and we are just hearing our own solution and maybe even a wrong whispering spirit telling us.. why wait, just do it anyway!

We lose nothing by waiting for it’s a clear demonstration of faith because His Spirit/Ruach is of Peace and patience and never pushes His way in our life.

Be still and know that I am – Anochi – God -Adonai. The revealing/apocalypse, only comes by patient, attentive, watching.

In the place of the letting down of wings…

The soul is stilled like a well-weaned child and in it we are fed and satisfied.

His presence filling our vessel so completely, that we overflow and pour out His goodness on those with who we are in close contact; as well as in our own life. And the place of His shalom becomes the place of His manifested presence.

When wings beat the air, although we cannot see it, the action moves the surrounding atmosphere regardless. Think of a fan whose blades beat the air and cause cooling streams to filter through the room. The same is true of our activity, while we continue to move, we disturb the very atmosphere, which surrounds us.

He said

BE Still

not

be busy!

Be still my soul… and as we bring the body into subjection, as we quiet the noisy tumult and detach from exterior elements that result in interference; then we can be still and know that He is God

Let Him – allow His Ruach haKodesh – to pour oil on troubled waters ..

It’s time to let down the wings of our heart and let Him in and rest in His presence/before His throne.

The Prince of Peace – Sar Shalom always moves in Peace/Shalom – never in a hurry.

A change in the way we think is the most important aspect of real repentance and of being a true disciple. When we miss it, being quick to repent and get it right. Mark gives examples of the most basic attitudes and passions that are (evil)/(out of harmony) with God and can dominate our thinking and behavior:

“. . . adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man” ( Mark 7:21-23 ).

This is why we need HaMakom…

where Messiahs blood cries mercy and pardon and redemption. (Hebrews 12:18-25)

There is no substitute to

the letting down of wings

– spending time with Our Father, for this is how we will truly know the Voice of Adonai.

Proximity = Nearness in place, time, order, occurrence or relation. There was a time when only the High Priest could access His presence, BUT, because of Messiah Jesus/Yeshua’s sacrifice, today anyone can come to the mercy seat to be in God’s presence.

John 10:27– My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

How do the sheep know the shepherd’s voice?

He has been with them daily since they were lambs. He’s led them to their food, protected them from harm and mended their wounds. They have spent their lives with their shepherd.

Spending time with our Heavenly Father is similar to the action of getting to know the voice of a friend or relative, it starts by hearing what they are saying.

As we read the Word of God we are training ourselves to know what the Lord/Adonai has said. It enables us to know if something lines up with who He is.

He wants us to make a habit of talking with Him. This means just what it says, talk to Him which is commonly called Prayer. Prayer in essence is talking to the Lord, share with Him our heart, joys and pains and listen for His voice.

We need to be encouraged to begin talking to and with the Lord.

Spend time reading the Scriptures, share our heart with Him.

Let’s not focus on getting things from the Lord but on knowing Him…

For there are many benefits from being under the wings, and nestled within the feathers.

Healing, protection, safety, closeness, warm and being fed, as well as renewing our strength. 

From this it is clear that..

in a particular place – ha makem –

המקום

This place is before His throne

His throne is His presence

When we hear His voice from the expanse of the heavens

We stand still and let down our wings

In an attitude of reverent trusting shalom

It is accessed through His Mercy by

the Grace provided in Jesus/Yeshuas’ blood

and this is the secret place of the most high, when our wings are silent and still and we are safe and secure in the camp, under the canopy of His overshadowing protective love.

It’s time to trust Him

Shalom Mishpachah/Family!

Please don’t leave this page until you make certain Messiah Jesus/Yeshua is your Redeemer, Savior, Lord and soon returning King and that you have a personal relationship with Him.

It’s all about Life and Relationship, NOT Religion.

You are greatly loved and precious in His sight.

NOT SURE? YOU CAN BE..

SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…

Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.

I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name. Amen.
