God’s promises are true and they are for His faithful followers! This is a powerful and encouraging word for us in the day in which we are currently living.
“The glorious Lord will be to us as a wide river of protection, and no enemy can cross. For the Lord is our Judge, our Lawgiver, and our King: he will care for us and save us.” Isaiah 33:21-22 TLB
He is our Rock, our Fortress, our Shield, the Horn of our Salvation among other things wonderful and powerful! Worthy of all Praise, Honor and Glory!
As we move into another month on the Hebrew calendar; this time is one of greater intensity. On the 9th of AV called Tish B’Av, we have much to be aware of, consider and watching over. This is the date on which both times the temple was destroyed among other things. What you may or may not have been aware, this was the very date that Katrina hit our shores and did great devastation. Much of that has never been recovered and multitudes of lives were gone or changed forever. Some are still trying to recover spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally and financially.
I am calling this First Fruit’s Gathering to the people of God to come together and worship; join forces against the plans of the evil one! We do not want to come into agreement with his plans, or become complacent. Much is at stake including the nation of Israel, our nation and our heritage. We will worship in unity and celebrate the One True God, the God of Israel!
Carmen O’Riley, Worship and Dance Team Leader of ShaarayYeshua Congregation will be leading worship. Bring your flags, banners, tambourines, and most especially your shofars, your voice and dancing feet. Bring your first fruits’ offering and the first name(s) of any prodigals for whom you are praying. We have an altar set up and a group of faithful praying warriors praying for these. I have seen the first fruit of the prayers we prayed last month; my youngest son has returned to the Lord and is growing, studying and reading the Word. It’s time to call them “out of darkness and into His marvelous light.”
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; they shall prosper who love her.” Psalms 122:6
