DAY 34 - Starts at Sundown Saturday - Six more days until the Day of Atonement or Jubilee

The 10 days of Awe that fall between Rosh Hashanah and the Day of Atonement parallel the the story Jesus told about 10 virgins, who were waiting for the bridegroom to come.

As the story goes the bridegroom delayed his coming and they all slumbered.
Zola Levitt has a book called an Israeli Love Story which lays out the custom, from which Jesus spun His parable.

 When they heard the trump announcing his imminent arrival, they all awoke.
50% of the virgins found they were running low on oil and tried to borrow from the other 50% who had been diligent to prepare before the trump sounded by filling their lamps and storing up extra.  

The prepared virgins refused to share! Which seems selfish, doesn't it?   
In fact it doesn't sound Christian at all! But the oil is not something that can be given like a commodity. The oil is symbolic for the Holy Spirit, and He is something that you have received, taken in over time. Each virgin must receive him in themselves.

If you have received the oil the trump is a welcome call, a sound of gladness, if you have not received oil the trump is an alarming sound.. It either signifies the return of the one we love, Jesus our Jubilee. Or the Day of Atonement, the closing of the door, a fearful thought, if you are not ready.

We just walked through 30 days of prayer and intercession giving ourselves to receive more oil;  Allowing the Holy Spirit to engrave the law into our hearts of flesh. So that we might live out the law in our daily lives, and the result is that our lamp gives off light. We are storing up oil right now, prayer is one of the best ways to get filled up. 

This blast of the trumpet, "the awakening blast" is heard each year at the Feast of Trumpets, this was the shofar blast we experienced at the Blue Earth River Wednesday night, The trump... announcing His imminent return. Wednesday night was the commencement of the Feast of Trumpets, or Rosh Hashanah.

I know that most of the Church believes that all of this is just 'Jewish stuff', part of the old covenant which has passed away, and they are partially right when they talk about the physical practice of the festivals of Passover, and Pentecost. Because they have both been fulfilled spiritually in the history of the Church.

JESUS FULFILLED THE SPRING FESTIVALS
  1. Jesus was our Passover, He replaced the lamb as the sacrifice.  
  2. He was our unleavened bread, He who know no sin 
  3. He was the sheaf wave offering of Barley, the first fruits of bodily resurrection. 

JESUS FULFILLED PENTECOST
The Holy Spirit, Came on Pentecost and ushered in the Church age, 
  1. He is Our Pentecost. He writes the Law on our hearts while we traverse this wilderness, on our way to the promised land. 

THE FALL FESTIVALS NEED TO BE FULFILLED 
There is no reason for the Church of Jesus Christ to ignore them. This is our promised land, our inheritance.

JESUS IS OUR JUBILEE!
  1. Trumpets, 
  2. the Day of Atonement,
  3. Tabernacles 
These festivals are speaking prophetically about these days... our current place in history, the last days of the Church age and the transition of the world kingdoms into the reign of Christ.  

 The argument that this is old covenant stuff and doesn't apply to us, doesn't hold any water.  An argument that says  that Jesus' second coming has nothing to do with the new covenant? 

Really?   
Jesus is our Jubilee!    
That is the new covenant!

I am wondering what the New Covenant is about, if it is not about Jesus, 
the Trump sounding and the Bride being caught up in the air to be forever with Lord. 


Today and for the next several days let's watch and pray, for His imminent return. 
He comes at an hour we might not expect.  

  • Receive the Holy Spirit.
  • Be filled with the Holy Spirit
  • Be led by the Spirit
  • Walk in the Spirit
  • Pray in the Spirit
  • Sing in the Spirit

  2, 22, 222, 2222 - Keys to the House of David This Facebook post from Johnny Enlow was sent to me by a friend two years ago and I ran across it again today.  So in good fun, I repost it here.  OK, so the 2's have it. So many of you have apparently been seeing a lot of 222 and 2222 as well and are wondering as to what the Lord might be saying there. Three scriptures that I get for this are: Eph. 2:22,  Rev. 22:2 and  Acts 2:22.  Eph. 2:22 is about us being built into a dwelling place for God.  Rev. 22:2 is about being trees of life that bring healing to the nations.  Acts 2:22 is about being a person of signs, wonders, and miracles.  All three go together and as you see the 222 you are being reminded that you are one that is to carry the power and presence of God everywhere you go.  Life of the supernatural is yours to step into as you host Him. Seeing 2222 at key times is about Isaiah. 22:22. This is the passage about being given the key of David to open and no m

This post is about my reoccurring connection to the Minnesota Miracle and how God has kept the dream alive for a revival in Minnesota that He wants to bring to birth.  October 1971 - Minnesota Miracle Seventeen years old and on my way to a weekend retreat at Camp Courage. There I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on Friday night with many other young people. The rest of that weekend was supernatural, none of us (over 100 high school and college students) showed up at the dining hall to eat, many of us did not sleep, we sought the Lord continuously for three days from Friday evening until Sunday at Noon . God was present in a tangible way as the Spirit hovered over our camp. We all left there changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The speaker that weekend was Dick Eastman he went onto North Central Bible college in downtown Mpls. Monday to lead their morning chapel service, that chapel service lasted for three days! Monday 8 AM - Wednesday 7 PM. The Bible school was

A WRINKLE IN TIME... another JESUS PEOPLE movement?

First the Natural...  The Jesus People Church in Minneapolis begun in 1972, came out of the REVIVAL meetings held 7 days a week for several weeks at Souls Harbor, Downtown Minneapolis in the fall of 1971.  Coincidentally, the congregation at the renewed Jesus People Church now in Rogers, MN set aside Friday, May 2, 2014, for a Jesus People Church Reunion.  They invited all those who were part of the Jesus People Church in Minneapolis during the 70s and 80s; as part of that congregation in the past, my wife and I received a personal invitation to attend. But we did not go the gala event at a ritzy hotel in Minneapolis. Then the Spiritual!  The same weekend, I also received a personal invitation for Saturday, 5/3/14 to hear Cindy Jacobs at the House Church at 2024 Rahn Road in Eagan, MN. She prophesied that night "another Jesus People Movement" to come. As I sat in that "physical place where I had been one of the Jesus People church elders 25 years earlier,
