"Passover And Blood Moon"

"There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations,

 in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear 

and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; 

for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.…"

(Luke 21:25-26)

PASSOVER

It was the plan that started at Passover way back when the children of Israel wanted and needed freedom from bondage, deliverance from Egyptian rule, and they needed to worship their God.  Enter: The Passover lamb, a spotless lamb to be slain and its blood applied to the left, to the right, and above the doorposts  ...  the sign of the cross  ...  to keep the death angel, who was sent out to kill the firstborn of all living, but when the angel saw the blood, the angel passed over  ...  and the Israelites were spared.   

It was the type, shadow and script of "The Lamb" that rode into town on a borrowed colt, and one week later was nailed to a cross and died  ...  The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world  ... 

It's all about the The Lamb and it's all about the Blood.  Without the shedding of blood, there can be no forgiveness of sin. "And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness."  (Hebrews 9:22)  The blood of the slain lamb protected and delivered the Israelites for one night, but the Blood of the slain Lamb of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, protects and delivers ALL mankind forever!  Thank You, Lord Jesus!

Why did He do it?  Why did Jesus Christ willingly give His beaten flesh, His sinless blood, and His life on the cross?  The old testament's killing of animals and the blood on the altar only covered the people's sins for a time, and every time they sinned they had to bring an animal, a turtle dove, a bullock to be sacrificed to cover their sins once again.  When the Lord Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, died on the cross and shed His blood; it was for the sins of the whole world for all of eternity. 

"For the life of the flesh is in the blood:
and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls:
for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul."

(Leviticus 17:11)

The Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ, made the atonement, with His shed blood, once and for all  ...  "It Is Finished."  But, He didn't just die; He conquered death, Hell, and the grave; He rose again; He IS ALIVE! 

That's why we worship Him; that's why we lift Him up; that's why we kneel at His feet; that's why we shout praises to His name; that's why we dance before Him; that's why  ...  that's why!

The triumphant end is yet to come!  The Lord Jesus Christ will catch away His Bride in the air before that great and terrible tribulation period, when the earth will be judged  ....

THE BLOOD MOON  

The first blood moon will be on Passover, April 15, 2014, another one this year, and two following in 2015.  Why is this happening, and why on Passover? God is trying to get earth's attention; He is sending us a signal and big events are coming. We are at the end of the Church Age, and about to begin the most horrific time the earth has ever encountered  ...  The Tribulation period, when those "left behind" after the Rapture of the Church, will be judged.  Profound events often occur during God's holy days, and are connected with Israel.  

It is time to "look up;" it's time to get ready; it's time to be oiled, filled, and sealed, it's time to obey Acts 2:38; it's time to make our calling and election sure!  It's time!

"The Lamb"

"Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take

it out from the sheep, or from the goats:  And they shall take of the blood, and

strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein

they shall eat it.  And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes

on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is

the LORD'S passover.  For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night,

and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast;

and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD."

(Exodus 12:5, 7, 11 & 12)

"And the beast was allowed to wage war against God's holy people and to

conquer them. And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and

 people and language and nation. And all that dwell upon the earth shall

worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of

the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."

(Revelation 13:7-8)

Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!  Even as the blood of the passover lamb was slain and blood placed on the doorposts to protect the children of Israel, so is our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, and His blood was shed for all of mankind, and placed on the doorposts of our hearts.  Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.  The old testament overflowed with the blood of animals used for the atonement of sin, but our Holy God, the Lord Jesus Christ, became flesh and dwelt among us.  He died and shed His blood on the cross, and "It Is Finished."  What is finished?  The shedding of blood for the remission of sins.  The Holy One of Israel, Jesus Christ, paid it all; never again will blood have to be shed to remit Sin.  Jesus Christ is our passover lamb, and He shed His blood for the souls of the whole world.

"And they sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and

 to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you

purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation."

(Revelation 5:9)

If not for the blood shed by Jesus Christ on the cross, we would still be rounding up animals as they did in the old testament.  The blood of Jesus Christ covers us, protects us, washes us, redeems us, and we have a place with Him in heaven, because of calvary, the ultimate sacrifice for the Sins of the world.  The Lord Jesus Christ is the lamb slain from the foundation of the world, and He is the Lion of Judah.  He is the Lamb of love and tenderness, cleansing us and covering us   ...  and He is a Lion, who will judge the world in time to come for those who did not receive His blood, who did not obey His Word, and who were not filled with His Spirit and baptized in His name.  It's a plan to SAVE mankind from themselves, from evil, and to grant us admission to sit with Him in high places, and study war no more  ...  It's a good plan, a plan laid out in the Word of God, the Holy Bible, and a plan living in hearts, minds and souls today  ...  a plan of Redemption.

This is why we take communion today; the wafer is is symbol of the lamb slain, the broken flesh of Jesus Christ, and the grape juice is a symbol of the lamb's blood, the blood of Jesus Christ shed for you and me.  He said, "Do this in remembrance of Me."  And, we do.  It's beautiful, isn't it?  The "facts" of salvation  ...  it's not just a story, not just a tale, not just a saga of biblical exploits  ...  NO, it is a "fact" that Jesus Christ became our Passover Lamb!  Thank You, Lord.  We will not forget  ... we will never forget  ...

"He's A Song"

"He brought me to the banqueting house, and his

banner over me was love... His left hand is under my head,

and his right hand doth embrace me."

(Song of Solomon 2:4,6)

What is a husband; we really want to know?  Is it to be joined

in love, molded together in One?

He's the father of our children, the leader of our family, but

is there joy in the midst, second to none?

O, Love is just a word, but is it alive in my beloved, with a

caress in the night, and strength in the day?

Is He more than a mate, a sating of need, or is he the lilt of

my soul; in life, I say, it's a parlay

To find the soul mate that moves, and stirs the wonders of a

lady's inner being, is a fete to achieve

It's the looking for an Adam in an Eden exploration, by a

rib-created wonder, His very own Eve

Come, my beloved, and show me the depth of your soul's

heartbeat, is the ever cry of feeling

Will he honor the request, and be the romantic that Eve's

so often want, and find appealing?

It's a matter more than embracing, an ecstasy beyond the

boundaries, this depth of heart and soul

Does it exist in my beloved; do his wonders climb the

mountain, and fly above the knoll?

Do his treasures in mind and spirit push the interest of my

thinking, as he serves my deepest desire?

Is he the mighty One who will be the velvet glove, yet set my

feet to dancing, and my pounding heart afire?

O, beloved of my soul, are you the one to whom I am joined,

my love, the one to whom I belong?

O yes, is my cry, he keeps me safe and warm; he's the psalm

within my panting heart; "He's A Song."

"It's Time To Dance!"

"You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my

 sackcloth and clothed me with joy."

(Psalm 30:11)

~ MAKE A PARTY OUT OF PAIN ~  

MAKE A RAINBOW OUT OF RAIN!

(Pastor Kenneth Phillips)

Only the Lord can do it; only the omnipotent One can delete pain and replace it with Joy; only the Holy One of Israel can turn the tears into laughter and dancing.  Life's seasons have reached the apex of glee in the portals of long fought wars, so it's TIME now to put off the ashes and be clothed with beauty; it's TIME to "Dance, Children, Dance!"

"Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises

 unto him with the timbrel and harp."

(Psalm 149:3)

Can you feel it?  Do you sense the change in wind direction?  Do you see the oasis in the distance?  Are the fresh scents of new falling rain wafting through your nostrils?  Do you feel the heaviness of battle dropping from your shoulders?  "What is it?" you ask.  It's the "season" of dancing, the time of answered prayer, the tears are being wiped away and the harshness of bitter waters has been turned to refreshing springs.  Spring up, O well!  You say, "I don't feel it."  Step in  ...  enter in  ...  the door to this season is Worship, Dancing, Rejoicing, Praising  ...  with all of the heart, soul, mind and strength  ...  Then, you will be carried away in the thrill of His Spirit, the peace of His essence, and the Joy of His love.  "Make a rainbow out of rain," says Pastor Kenneth Phillips.  Attitude determines our altitude!

Come forth from the darkness into the light!  A new day has dawned for the Church of the living God!  Power, strength, glory, miracles, signs, wonders, and answers are here!  The years of prayers, the rivers of tears, the bowed knees of surrender, the holy consecration of obedience, the sleepless nights, the weeping between the porch and the altar, the cries in the valley, the wandering in the desert, the loneliness by the brook  ...  have all built a ladder that we have climbed to reach the cleft of the "Rock" and we have met Him face to face!  The lover of our souls has been waiting at the acme of depth, standing on the precipice of height, in the secrets of illumination  ...  anticipating our arrival.  Huh?  We have entered into the Glory of the Lord, a place of His presence, a cloud enveloping creation by its Creator, a place reserved for the galloping horses of the end time revival and Spirit outpouring, a triumphant victorious place of beauty such as we have never known!  It's a place likened to Moses' place of receiving the commandments; it's a place where glory dwells!
