FATHER gave Moses instructions in Leviticus chapter 23 for celebrating special events:

23 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

24 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.

25 You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.’ ”

And…

39 ‘Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the LORD for seven days; on the first day there shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest.

40 And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.

41 You shall keep it as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month.

42 You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths,

43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.’ ”

44 So Moses declared to the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.

These particular feasts are The Feast of Trumpets and The Feast of Tabernacles although FATHER has other feasts mentioned in this chapter the children of Israel are to observe.  These particular feasts are celebrated in the September-October timeframe each year.  Jesus was born in 2 B.C. at the time of Israel’s Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashana), which fell on September 29 that year. Two thousand years later is 1999 A.D. (Remember, since there is no year zero, two thousand years from 2 B.C. comes to 1999, rather than 1998 A.D.) 

The Feast of Trumpets changes each year, much like Passover and Easter, because these are calculated according to a lunar calendar. And so, whereas the Feast of Trumpets fell on September 29 back in 2 B.C., it falls on September 11 in 1999 A.D. This is properly Jesus’ 2000^th birthday according to the Hebrew calendar.  Thus Jesus’ birthday is celebrated each year by the blowing of trumpets by the children of Israel even though they are not fully aware of the implication established by FATHER for this time of celebration.

Luke wrote by THE SPIRIT in Luke chapter 1:

26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.

28 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”

29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.

30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.

32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.

33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”

35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

36 Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.

37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”

38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

When did Mary become pregnant?  By reckoning the the average length of human gestation being 280 days, or 40 weeks, Mary would have been overshadowed by The Holy Spirit on the evening of December 24th, 3 B.C.  According to the Hebrew day, this would have been December 25th (sundown to sundown).  Therefore, the whole world actually celebrates the miracle of Jesus being formed in the womb each year known as Christ-mas Day.  Therefore, everyone unknowingly honors the beginning of life in the womb occurring at conception by this global celebration.  Jesus was the ultimate gift of Love given to all of mankind and all the lights we see at Christmas are simply a reminder that the Light of the world is actually being celebrated whether people realize it or not.  Think about it and don’t be too tough on those who celebrate Christmas for the wrong reason for the season!  Enjoy the lights of celebration.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in 1st Samuel 10, Saul was anointed by Samuel who spoke:

7 And let it be, when these signs come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for God is with you.

8 You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and surely I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and make sacrifices of peace offerings. Seven days you shall wait, till I come to you and show you what you should do.”

9 So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.

The in chapter 13:

6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in danger (for the people were distressed), then the people hid in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in holes, and in pits.

7 And some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead.  As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.

8 Then he waited seven days, according to the time set by Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.

9 So Saul said, “Bring a burnt offering and peace offerings here to me.” And he offered the burnt offering.

10 Now it happened, as soon as he had finished presenting the burnt offering, that Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.

11 And Samuel said, “What have you done?”  Saul said, “When I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash,

12 then I said, ‘The Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the LORD.’ Therefore I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering.”

13 And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which He commanded you. For now the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.

14 But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you.”

We must let patience have its perfect work no matter what we see and hear that is contrary to FATHER’S instructions.  Saul failed to heed the directives set forth by Samuel and his kingdom was removed from him.  Our carnal man will attempt to influence our actions and get us to move ahead of FATHER’S plan but we must be patient and understand that there are aspects to FATHER’S Divine Intent we are unable to see or comprehend.  The world is producing a “now” generation with no patience and an expectation of instant gratification.  Smart phones are a leading cause of this expectation and people’s attention are glued to their smart phones even as they are driving, putting others a risk.

When in doubt, do nothing.  FATHER will give us knowledge and skill but we also need Wisdom and understanding to know the when and why of a directive in order to stay in FATHER’S Divine Intent.  Being led by THE SPIRIT completes the “what, how, where, when, and why” of any situation.  When Jesus was summoned to go to Lazarus, He waited until FATHER directed Him to go even though others were pressuring Him to return and heal Lazarus prior to his death.  No problem, Jesus simply raised Lazarus from the dead which astounded everyone.

When we are faced with apparent insurmountable odds, we must not allow impatience to cause us to act too quickly.  We must remain at rest, knowing that FATHER will empower us at the precise time HE directs us to take action.  In the meantime, be patient.

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Titus chapter 3:

1  Remind people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready and willing to do good,

2   to slander or abuse no one, to be kind and conciliatory and gentle, showing unqualified consideration and courtesy toward everyone.

3  For we too once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various sinful desires and pleasures, spending and wasting our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

4   But when the goodness and kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared [in human form as the Man, Jesus Christ],

5   He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we have done, but because of His own compassion and mercy, by the cleansing of the new birth (spiritual transformation, regeneration) and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

6   whom He poured out richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior,

7   so that we would be justified [made free of the guilt of sin] by His [compassionate, undeserved] grace, and that we would be [acknowledged as acceptable to Him and] made heirs of eternal life [actually experiencing it] according to our hope (His guarantee).

Mystery Babylon continues to promote chaos, confusion, and division among the masses.  On the other hand, we should be promoting unity, enlightenment, and Love toward all mankind for we were once no different from those who have been caught up in the division and strife.  We must not allow the media to sweep us up into the strife and division promoted by those who wish to manipulate and control mankind.  FATHER will use those who are called to expose men and spread the Truth to bring down the powers associated with the current system in due time.  The mass media knows how to excite the emotions of those who can easily be tossed to and fro for their nefarious purposes but let us not be counted among them.

We are called to be standards of light thus we should walk in kindness and be conciliatory, we should be known as peacemakers.  As Jesus stated in Matthew chapter 5:

9 ​​Blessed are the peacemakers,

​​For they shall be called sons of GOD.

Words and acts of kindness dispel division and promote unity among those we encounter.  As we are led by THE SPIRIT and remove the barriers caused by confusion and division, we are able to bring forth a willingness to hear the Truth and set men and women free from the bondage they are in.  If they were at peace within themselves, they would not allow themselves to be manipulated by others.  Deep down, they are seeking fulfillment but are unable to find it because of their current blindness.  As our light shines upon their darkness, their eyes will be opened to see and hear the Truth of the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  This will bring forth the needed cleansing and regeneration which leads to peace in their hearts.  FATHER has richly poured out The Holy Spirit for mankind’s benefit so let us be conduits toward mankind and eliminate the divisions which currently exist and separates them from the Love of THE FATHER.

David wrote by THE SPIRIT wrote in Psalm chapter 16:

8 ​​I have set the LORD always before me; ​​Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

​9 ​​Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; ​​My flesh also will rest in hope.

And in Psalm 42:

11 ​​Why are you cast down, O my soul?  ​​And why are you disquieted within me?

​​Hope in God; ​​For I shall yet praise Him, ​​The help of my countenance and my God.

The first step to receiving Christ and walking according to His Ways is by establishing hope.  Hope is the confident expectation of what GOD has promised and its strength is in HIS faithfulness to carry out HIS Word on our behalf.  Without hope, people end up suffering with mental depression and despair.  They attempt to numb their feelings by substance abuse and even suicide.  When we have hope we walk in happiness as recorded in Psalm 146:

​5 ​​Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, ​​Whose hope is in the LORD his God,

6 ​​Who made heaven and earth, ​​The sea, and all that is in them; ​​Who keeps truth forever,

7 ​​Who executes justice for the oppressed, ​​Who gives food to the hungry. ​​The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners.

​8 ​​The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; ​​The LORD raises those who are bowed down; ​​The LORD loves the righteous.

9 ​​The LORD watches over the strangers; ​​He relieves the fatherless and widow; ​​But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.

You and I should be the happiest people around!  If we don’t exude happiness among those we encounter, how can we expect them to seek out the Source of our hope?  Mystery Babylon brings forth chaos and confusion resulting in the loss of hope for those who do not know and trust in FATHER.  Why do you think the drug trade continues to be such a problem around the world?  They have no hope of positive change in their lives and their souls seek out a means to remove their despair.

There are ministries who have a calling to provide hope to the masses and we must not be critical of their message for they have opened the door for the masses to seek our FATHER.  As people get a taste of hope, we are then able to further their maturing process by showing them FATHER’S unconditional Love and how to walk in faith.  On the Day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2, Peter spoke by THE SPIRIT as he quoted Psalm 16:8-11, (the above passage).  That day of transition brought hope to the people and the body of believers grew dramatically.  The people need true hope and we are the ones charged with providing them with enduring hope so let us walk in this manner each day!  They are in desperate need of finding this hope and will know it when they see it.  Let us not forget the great Love chapter Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Corinthians chapter 13:

13  And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Let us not forget about ministering hope.

In the U.S., we celebrate Thanksgiving commemorating a harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621.  A local church had the following on their street sign:  “Make America grateful again”.  How appropriate!

The following should cause you to smile:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_gOZDWQj3Q&feature=youtu.be

Wisdom spoke in Proverbs chapter 16:

23 ​​The heart of the wise teaches his mouth,

​​And adds learning to his lips.

​24 ​​Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,

​​Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

The word pleasant means: to be pleasant, be beautiful, be sweet, be delightful, be lovely.  Focusing on the positive when we speak brings forth life and health to the recipient.  FATHER’S Divine Intent is accomplished when we speak unconditional, sincere words of Love toward others.  The old man will always look for weakness and flaws in others rather than their positive qualities because of the desire to exalt himself above those whom we encounter.  On the other hand, words of kindness bring forth unity and remove protective barriers.  Kind words toward others remove the focus of judgment.  Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7:

1 “Judge not, that you be not judged.

2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?

4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye?

5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

Many people speak subtle words of judgment in their interactions with others and then say they were just “kidding” but the intent and damage has already occurred.  We must add learning to our lips as Wisdom directs.  As we focus on speaking forth words of life and no longer allow those piercing words of judgment to come forth out of our lips, we will promote life and healing to the recipient.  This includes our own confession about ourselves.  Let us speak words of encouragement and life today.

As we guard our mouths from speaking forth words contrary to FATHER’S Divine Intent, we will experience sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

Matthew recorded by THE SPIRIT in chapter 4:

1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.

At the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry, it was necessary that He be tested by the devil when Jesus was in His weakest physical state.  You can imagine how His mind and body were screaming for sustenance but instead, He was to trust FATHER’S Word and Spirit in directing Him to this point of utter physical weakness. Then came the devil:

3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” (Deuteronomy 8:3)

5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple,

6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:

​​‘​He shall give His angels charge over you,’

​and,

​​‘​In their hands they shall bear you up, ​​Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ” (Psalm 91:11,12)

​7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the LORD your God.’ ” (Deuteronomy 6:16)

8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ” (Deuteronomy 6:13)

11 Then the devil left Him (until an opportune time), and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

Three different disciples recorded the above event.  How do you think they knew the details since He had not yet called them to be His disciples?  Surely Jesus shared the details of the event with the disciples including the particular verses from the book of Deuteronomy and Psalms with them.  Jesus shows us that the devil is no match against FATHER’S Word and the importance that Jesus placed on utilizing The Word even in our weakest state.

Jesus’ trust in FATHER’S Word and THE SPIRIT were at the center of His ministry at all times.  The importance of this foundation cannot be stressed enough in our own walk.  We must not allow ourselves to grow cold in our desire to study FATHER’S Word or we will subject ourselves to the chaos and confusion of the world’s ways.  In order to be deemed an overcomer, we must overcome!  Let us seize the opportunity to trust FATHER’S Word when adversity presents itself to us and let us faithfully take FATHER’S Word and overcome whatever is thrown at us trying to divert our path away from our calling.

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 1:

16  I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation [from His wrath and punishment] to everyone who believes [in Christ as Savior], to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

17  For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed in a way that awakens more faith]. As it is written and forever remains written, “The just and upright shall live by faith.”

Paul expresses a Truth that can easily be overlooked by many.  As we immerse ourselves in FATHER’S Word on a continual basis, our faith leads to more faith thus it grows to great faith.  The opposite is also true.  As we spend less time in HIS Word, our faith grows weak and can lead to a deficit of faith needed to overcome adverse situations we encounter throughout life. 

Paul further recorded by THE SPIRIT in chapter 4:

17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations” in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.”

19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,

21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

22 And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

FATHER is willing and able to take something dead and raise it to life.  Isn’t what happened at the cross?  That same power is available to you and me as we consider not what our senses tell us but trust in HIS Word, being strengthened in faith.  Further, we should be giving glory to Our Heavenly Father as we are waiting for the full manifestation to come forth.  When we walk in great faith, we become fully convinced of what FATHER has promised in HIS Word, HE is willing and able to perform on our behalf.  Isn’t overcoming death the ultimate testimony in glorifying FATHER?

Time must not be looked at as the restrictor of FATHER’S ability to perform, so we should not place such a restriction for the manifestation to come forth.  Abraham and Sarah waited years for the promise of Isaac to manifest and Abraham did not waver through unbelief.  In this day of instant gratification, people have become inherently impatient for results.  This impatience comes directly from the carnal man’s cravings for self-interest to be immediately satisfied, directly opposed to FATHER’S ways.

FATHER did not lead Paul to write about Abraham’s faith just to record history and take up space.  HE intended for us to embrace this example and know that we can walk in great faith without wavering.  The Sons and Daughters of GOD should expect to raise the dead in a similar manner to Our Elder Brother, Our Lord Jesus Christ.  Jesus didn’t waver at the tomb of Lazarus and neither will we when FATHER instructs us to do something similar, astonishing those who will witness such events.

As we grow in faith, we also become more accustomed to being led by THE SPIRIT and the end result is that we ascend to a deeper revelation of Love.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:

10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

When I was with Dr. Speckhart focusing on the various aspects of his electro-dermal screening tests, he would always test the basic electrical flow of his patients before testing the various meridians of their organs and other systems in their bodies.  The machine’s scale ranged from 0 to 100 when he completed the circuit to test the level of electrical flow in the body.  “80” was the normal overall electrical flow of an adult, children were a little higher.  Someone with advanced disease such as stage 4 cancer, would only register 10-20 on the scale.  Life was being sucked out of their body and hindered the flow of electricity.  I saw this reality in a man who died six weeks later.  Once a person was at such a low flow, the body was no longer able to overcome the destruction at hand.

As we align ourselves with FATHER and HIS Word, we come closer to the Source of life and our electrical flow increases in response.  Negative thoughts lower this flow whereas positive thoughts and confession increase the flow.  Those who have used kinesiology by testing the arm strength of a person when they speak “Yes” or “No” are well aware of the impact of thoughts on the body.

Who provides us with the ultimate positive thoughts?  Our Heavenly Father.  Who provides us with the ultimate negative thoughts?  The accuser.  The spiritual impacts the physical thus when we are dealing with physical ailments, we should immerse ourselves in FATHER’S Word in the area of healing to offset the negatives in our lives.  Some of those negatives date back to when we were young children and are deep within our souls.  We must root out anything preventing us from fully accepting The Word and we should ask FATHER to show us what may be causing resistance to our purification process and negatively impacting our health.

James wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 4:

6  But He gives us more and more grace [through the power of the Holy Spirit to defy sin and live an obedient life that reflects both our faith and our gratitude for our salvation]. Therefore, it says, “God is opposed to the proud and haughty, but [continually] gives [the gift of] grace to the humble [who turn away from self-righteousness (a/k/a self-interest].”

7  So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him in faith] and he will flee from you.

8  Come close to God [with a contrite heart] and He will come close to you.  AMPL

Can sickness and disease survive in FATHER’S Presence?  No, Jesus demonstrated this reality in the Gospels.  Only unbelief rejected His healing power.  As I immerse myself in FATHER’S Word and reject any thought which is contrary to HIS Word, my purity increases and my level of self interest (the old man) begins to die.  The result is restoration.  How long will this take?  Each of us has a unique history impacting the process.  As Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians chapter 13, “Love never fails”, so we should focus our thoughts and actions in the one thing that fully describes FATHER’S Divine Intent resulting in life.  Our confession should line up with HIS Word so as we confess the promises of healing and health in Scripture, our thoughts begin to line up and ultimately our bodies will respond.

A prayer for healing:

Heavenly Father, I thank YOU that YOU have made known these Truths to me,

I thank YOU that Christ has borne my diseases, YOU have taken my weaknesses in my place,

I thank YOU that I don’t have to bear them FATHER, Jesus took them in my place,

I am so glad to know this Truth FATHER,

satan is to blame for my sickness, YOU have not placed them on me FATHER,

YOU want me well and strong so I can glorify YOU and serve mankind in Truth and Love,

I thank YOU for the knowledge that I have a legal right and authority over all devils,

Now FATHER, I come according to YOUR Word, I expect YOU to fulfill YOUR promise made to me,

YOU said “I AM THE LORD WHO HEALS YOU”,

I ask YOU according to YOUR Word, heal my body right now FATHER,

I rebuke the enemy that’s caused my suffering,

In the Name of Jesus Christ, I command the life of my sickness to leave,

And every symptom to be destroyed by the YOUR power,

FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU have heard my prayer,

YOU have granted the answer now,

I ask for healing because Jesus died to purchase healing for me,

I claim healing now according to YOUR promise,

I thank YOU that the source of my sickness is destroyed,

According to Jesus’ promise, I shall recover,

In Jesus’ Name I pray,

I know my request is heard and granted,

In Jesus’ Name I shall act upon YOUR Word,

Thank YOU FATHER that YOU have heard my prayer,

In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Hebrews 10:23  23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

Let no one hear nothing but the confession of FATHER’S Word concerning your recovery as your body responds to your prayer and returns to its Divine Intent of normality and operation.  Spend the day glorifying FATHER for your healing rather than focusing on any lingering symptoms as your body is responding to your prayer and FATHER’S Word and power.  HIS Word is greater than your symptoms and any chaos associated with sickness and disease.  As HIS Word removes the chaos and life of the disease, your body will respond.  Do not be denied thus let patience have her perfect work for time is no issue.  Let HIS Word of Love and Truth supersede any and all attacks on your body.  I speak from experience.
