Gathered Around the Fire

THE ORGANIZED CHURCH SHIES AWAY FROM BEING INVOLVED IN GOVERNMENT.  But we were designed by our Creator to govern on the earth, it is our destiny!  God's people in the church for the most part have forgotten that our destiny is to be God's Ultimate Government on earth! His ekklesia.   This dominion authority was given to Adam when he was in a covenant relationship with God the Creator. When Adam and Eve broke that covenant man's authority was given over by Adam to the evil one, because he listened and followed the instructions of the enemy.  When Jesus died and was buried, He descended into Hell and took the keys to death, hell, and the grave. He rose again and ascended into Heaven to restore that authority to the sons of Adam and the Daughters of Eve, who are in a covenant relationship with Him.  A False Teaching that can foster Complacency in the people of God.  We invite people to repeat a short simple prayer, offering them the promised hope of going to Heaven for eter

Yesterday was the celebration of the Feast of First Fruits. This Feast stands out from the others in that directly  inserted   into the instruction to observe it, is a directive of a postponed timetable to observe it.  Immediately after He commanded Israel to observe this Feast. He told them, "but you cannot observe it, until after you go into the Promised Land." So there was a 40-year postponement to the requirement to observe it.  Since God has a purpose for everything He does and says... We should look into why He included a built-in delay. All of the Feasts of the Lord are Feasts of Thanksgiving unto God. This one celebrates specifically the Barley (the Overcomer) and Flax (Priesthood) harvest. The timing of this feast also correlates to the Spring 'lambing' season or the 'harvest' of lambs (sacrifice). So if we look at all three 'harvests together, what is the hidden message of  (Wave Sheaf) Resurrection Sunday? Lamb = Sacrifice = Jesus

When I think of the story of the Triumphal Entry of Jesus a.k.a Palm Sunday, I have to admit, that until very recently I still saw it through the coloring book page I was given in Sunday School as a child. An artist took what they knew and created a pretty picture. But was the artist's rendition accurate to the account in Scripture? Others perhaps have imagined a modern parade like one they might have experienced as a child. The whole community came early just to get the best seat with a good point of view. I have seen this event like that as well. Crowds line the streets along the entire parade route, many wearing special clothing in the colors of the flag RED, WHITE and BLUE.  Young kids waving flags and grandparents sitting on their canvas camping chairs. Lots of anticipation craning necks to see all the decorated floats, the marching bands, being led by dance teams, and even the appearance of Uncle Sam walking atop a tall pair of stilts. Clowns jugglers, queens, and princesses
