More Than a Conqueror 9/29 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: More Than a Conqueror 9/29 Monday Meditation You take your position in Christ that you are more than a conqueror, that no matter what the testing may be, God cannot let you fail. You are not standing on sense evidence. You are not standing on the faith of other people. You are standing squarely upon His own Word. Your confidence is not in the prayers of others, but in this unchanging, unbreakable Word; and you refuse to allow your lips to destroy the effectiveness of that Word in your case. You hold fast to your confession though it would appear as though the prayer was never answered. It is your quiet assurance in His Word that gives you the supremacy over your Adversaries. -- E. W. Kenyon.

The Feast of Trumpets 9/22 Tuesday Truth

The Feast of Trumpets began Monday evening, September 22, and continues for two days. I observe it with my Messianic congegation. I am submitting in place of a quote today. THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS AND ITS CHRISTIAN SIGNIFICANCE by David Kiern When grapes ripen on the vine, pomegranates turn red on the tree and a slight chill fills the early morning air, it means something special is almost here... The Fall Feasts are about to begin! Monday night at sundown, (September 22nd, 2025) the first of the Biblical Fall Feasts will begin. The Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) is a festival which revolves around hearing the blast of the shofar, connecting with God and repentance. This day is also commonly called Rosh HaShanah (Head of the Year). Of all the feasts, Yom Teruah is the most concealed and shrouded in mystery. Whereas the other festivals commemorate an event from Israel's history or have specific religious purposes around them, God's people were not told the reason to celebrate Yom Teruah in the Scriptures. They were simply told to gather together and blow the shofar. The sound of the shofar elevates the hearts of men and women with the sense that the King is coming! The most prominent activity of Yom Teruah is the blowing of the shofar (ram’s horn). There are over one hundred shofar blasts heard throughout the prayer services, culminating with a final blast being known as the “Last Trump.” This regal sound is a call to repentance that reaches the souls of all who hear, with each blast denoting a sense of spiritual awakening. Based on Biblical clues ancient tradition, Jews believe that God breathed life into Adam on Yom Teruah. In the days of the Bible, this was the date on the calendar when the kings of Israel were crowned and took the throne. The resurrection of the dead and complete ingathering of Israel are also tied to Yom Teruah. Today, the Jewish people see Yom Teruah as the day when the Bridegroom will return for His bride. The prophets foretold: “Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly; gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children and those that suck the breast. Let the Bridegroom go forth from His chamber, and the bride out of her closet.” JOEL 2 CHRISTIAN SIGNIFICANCE Christians see the Biblical holy days as foreshadows of the work of the Messiah — what He has accomplished and what He will accomplish in the future. While the Spring Feasts look back at Yeshua's First Coming, the Fall Feasts look forward to His Second Coming. After Pentecost, there is a long summer break before the next Biblical appointed time. This is prophetic for the time in which we live now, since Messiah's atonement. This long period of time will suddenly come to an end when the blast of the trumpet sounds. Followers of Jesus see Yom Teruah as the future day when the "Last Trump" will sound, Yeshua will again set His feet on this earth, the faithful will be resurrected and the long awaited King of Israel will sit on the throne of His father David. "For the Lord Himself shall come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the blast of God’s shofar, and the dead in Messiah shall rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left behind, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air—and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words." - I THESSALONIANS 4 One more cool thing! The Feast of Trumpets is also called Yom Hakeseh – The Hidden Day – because it is the only holy day designated by the LORD to be kept on a new moon. In ancient Israel, sighting the small sliver of the new moon could be challenging and unpredictable. Unlike the other feast days, no one could precisely calculate the exact day or hour the festival could begin. (That's why even today, two days are reserved for the Feast in case the moon isn't visible on the first night). When the disciples asked Yeshua what will be the sign of His coming, He told them, "Of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven nor the Son, except the Father alone." (Matthew 24). This saying is one of the many reasons why Believers connect the Feast of Trumpets with Yeshua's Return! Shalom and Shanah Tovah (Good Year) to you and your family!

The Pray-ers 9/9 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Pray-ers 9/9 Tuesday Truth One cannot spend an hour in conscious communion with the Father, the Son, the Spirit and the Word without carrying away from that trysting place the fragrance that fills the atmosphere.

There is a holy calmness about their lives that challenges the restless ones; they crave that quietness of spirit. -- E.W. Kenyon.

Divine Flow of Eternal Power 9/3 Wednesday Wisdom
