Feasts of the LORD
Dear HEAVENLY FATHER ,
We come to You in this harvest time as we continue to honor You, love You and desire to be one with You. Show us Your way through the patterns in Your Holy Scriptures. Open us up to see Your feast days as You created them to be – a sign for us to know You will send Your only begotten Son, Your Holy Spirit, to Your earth, so Your whole creation can marvel at Your works. Thank you for Your grace and mercy upon us as we step into Your harvest season of Your Church. May we all be touched by Your Holy Spirit as we prepare ourselves as a living sacrifice to You.
Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Greeting Saints,
Here we go again, another month goes by as we are stepping into the LORD’s Feast of Harvest, the Feast of Weeks, or, as the New Testament calls it, Pentacost. The time when our HEAVENLY FATHER sent HIS HOLY SPIRIT to visit the disciples in the upper room, as the Church was birthed as prophesied by the LORD in Joel 2:28-32:
“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.”
Joel 2:28-32
As the LORD has called HIS remnant to be HIS true Church, JESUS has also told us in Luke 24:49,
“And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.”
Luke 24:49
Lets see what happened to the Church when the day of Pentecost manifested on earth as was written in the Books of Acts:
“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
Acts 2:1-4
Now we can look at the LORD’s instructions as a shadow of what was to come, on HIS feast days, as explained to Moses in the Torah:
Exodus 34:27, “And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.”
Deuteronomy 16:9-12, “Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn. And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee: And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there. And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.”
Leviticus 23:1-2, “And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.”
Leviticus 23:44, “And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.”
Exodus 34:27; Deuteronomy 16:9-12; Leviticus 23:1-2; Leviticus 23:44
Just as the LORD spoke to Moses, HE is speaking to us in this season – to prepare us and to return as HIS promise to us. Let us prepare our heart, mind and soul; and present unto the LORD ourselves as the freewill offering, which our HEAVENLY FATHER will return for.
We, at Voice of Healing, continue to provide our sweet smelling aroma to the LORD. We thank the LORD for everyone’s dedication to putting hands to the plow while helping to pull in the net as the LORD gathers.
All the tools are here for us to utilize, based on the shadow from the LORD and the vision He has given to Bishop Michael Petro, in order to walk into the hy-ways and by-ways to teach and preach the good news.
Again, thank you all for your prayers and support as the battle ensues and we conquer and overcome. Be the house the LORD is coming back for. And always remember to HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY BEING THE BLESSING YOU HAVE BEEN CREATED TO BE!
Blessings,
Pastor Brad
“Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.”
2 Chronicles 2:4
