Yeshua Hamoshiach ( Jesus Christ the Messiah ) is speaking about prayer and says to us:
Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of God in Heaven AND ALL HIS Righousness and ALL things will be given to you as well.
Shalom and Good Morning;
Tonight begins the season of the what is termed the High Holy days to begin with Rosh Hashanah, meaning Head of the year or the Begining of the New year.
The reason this is so important to us biblically speaking , it is where God commands us as a reminder to do certain things once a year.
"On the first day of the seventh month hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. It is a day for you to sound the trumpets[Yom Teruah]." (Numbers 29:1)
None of these commands have been erased. Its a time of celebration and reflection . A time for prayer and thanking God for the previous year as well as the new year. As believers in Yeshua Hamoshiach, we are to continually bow our hearts before the Lord and reflect in prayer upon our actions from our previous year's behavoirs and what was on our hearts. What our actions reflected upon us and the Lord. Its a time of true quiet between us and God and bowing in prayer.
The reason God gives us this command is because he wants us to be reminded that there is a time of judgement , reflection, retrospection , worship, and accountability. It is not just another silly holiday to go to church or Temple to check off a box. Its a time to come to God and reflect upon our actions that your heart has led you and see if they line up with God's Righteousness. To see where we can correct and lean on God more so our hearts are not led astray.
These are things we should be doing daily in Prayer anyways, however, this is Gods Timing and reminder to reflect on the whole totality of our life so we can move foward into the new year and have our names written on God's Book of Life.
We as believers in God through the redemption of Christ should not take these things lightly. Just because Yeshua paid the price of sin doesnt mean their isn't a price to pay as well. Our price is to take up our Cross if we want to be Yeshua's follower . That means to humble ourselves in humilty and fight against what the worlds view of life.
God realizes that were human but he commands us to live a holy and perfect life in and through Him . This brings us to the High holy days, to allow our reflection of our life to be compared and contrasted on how God would look at our behavoirs of our heart's and our attitudes towards Him as a Holy God, and a reflection of Him as a Holy God through how we live our life.
God does set these appointed times in seasons and for His reasons. We do see much crazy things happening around us all the time. We see the world searching and looking for what it believes to be right answers and correct decisions. However the worlds system today does not reflect Gods system. It doesnt resemble Him at all. That is why if you call yourself one of GOD's people, we will be set apart.
In a crazy world and time frame , when , on your own, do you take time out to reflect yourself against God's Holy word and life to pray and worship God for direction and strength, to get through another year , Month, week, day , hour, minute and second and for the rest of eternity?When?
We as believers in Christ, we also have to know, because we say we are believers, our life's actions must also reflect God and His Righteousness . Just because we can quote bible verses and see signs, doesn't mean we are reflecting upon ourselves a Holy God and purifying ourselves, in our hearts and minds for God. We must also be held accountable too. In fact our accountability will be at a higher standard then those who dont live properly and havent chosen to be set apart for God.
God sets us apart in His way to build these fundamental blocks in our life, to be not once a year, but to be proactive and do these things all the time. So in case of our untimely death, for which no one knows the day , the time , or the hour , to include the calling up and and away of God's people , The Harpazo ( Rapture ), we will be ready. This is something that is not an easy thing to do. It has to do with taking a good spiritual look in the mirror!
I pray that you reflect this time in your life with God and have a great and blessed day and year! Please share with others, and if you dont know Christ and would like to you , can get a hold of me and will walk you through prayer, to come into Fellowship with our King. If you need a bible , please email me and I will send you one as a free gift.
Shalom!!!!
Avodah
Jay
