“1 Peter 2:5 – In His Hands, We Are Built”
Messages
God has planted something in us to realize that there is something more than this world. We are in training to live for eternity.
We carefully observe and keep each of the Feast Days of our Lord. But have we ever thought about the theme that runs throughout with something for each of us to DO? There’s a bit of time between the last Day of Unleavened Bread and Pentecost. Then between Pentecost until Trumpets as well…then after the Last Great Day until the next spring. We’ll look at what God has called us to DO.
The annual holy days God commanded ancient Israel to keep outline a plan of redemption for mankind. The finale of these days is at the end during the last two festivals called the Feast of Tabernacles and the Eighth Day. There are numerous prophecies in the Old and New Testaments describing a time which is termed the “restitution of all things.” We will examine a few prophecies of this time and a story in Acts 3 which are a type of this time to come.
We have the power of God within us. That power is the Holy Spirit. We need to kindle the power of the Holy Spirit just like we would kindle a fire. How do we do that?
Taking care of one’s health is important to for all age groups, but what about our “emotional health”?
We are called to a Holy Calling. We must learn to change and obey in order to eventually be born as sons of God in His Kingdom.
During the Lord’s Feast our focus must be putting our Father and His Son into our lives through the outpouring of His Holy Spirit. That’s our theme for the Feast of Tabernacles. In terms of instruction we have a command to rejoice, and that we are also to learn to fear Him. To truly rejoice and learn to fear Him our hearts are going to have to change.
What can we learn from this passage of scripture in God’s Word about illness, prayer, anointing, Intercessory prayer, discerning the body of Christ, and healing?
One of the themes we find in the Day of Atonement is that of ‘freedom’. All of mankind will be offered freedom from sin by the Father and His Son and will be able to enjoy it without the influence of Satan and His demons.
