It’s Time For The Arm & Hammer

The Mayflower Compact

*“they knew they were pilgrims, and looked not much on those things, but lifted up their eyes to the heavens, their dearest country, and quieted their spirits.”* Hebrews 11:13-16

I will be reposting this November 21, 2020, as that is the Gregorian calendar date the Mayflower compact was signed, however, it was the 11th on Britain’s Julian calendar) *

Today marks the the 400th anniversary (Biblical significance) of The Mayflower Compact.

When Moses sent 12 men to spy out the Promised Land (the land the Lord said He was already giving them), 10 came back and gave a bad report because of fear. All they could do is see the giants of the land with natural eyes.

Jesus, Your Feast of Sukkot

“Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet drink, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. And be not grieved and depressed, for the joy OF the Lord is your strength and stronghold.” Nehemiah‬ ‭8:10‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

This evening begins the Jewish Festival of Sukkot or Feast of Tabernacles. Five days after the solemn holiday Yom Kippur (which points to Jesus as our perfect atoning Sacrifice, John 5:39), this joyous festival is all about rejoicing and celebrating!

A sukkah is a booth (hut) or temporary shelter made out of branches from many types of beautiful leafy trees (olive, palm…) that the Israelites were instructed to make and dwell in for seven days commemorating their time in the wilderness (after the exodus from Egypt) in which God faithfully provided for them.

Yom Kippur

“Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭9:12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

This evening marks the start of Yom Kippur, the “Day of Atonement,” the holiest day of the year for the Jews. In the Old Testament, it was the only day the high priest could enter into the inner sanctuary of the tabernacle (or Temple), the Holy of Holies. There, he would sprinkle the blood of an animal on the mercy seat of the ark of the covenant to atone for the sins of himself and the people of Israel.

Think On These…

“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7 NKJV

What’s going on in your heart has a direct effect on what’s going on in your mind and ultimately what you are experiencing in life. That’s why it’s so important to believe right. Proverbs 4:23 says to guard your heart above all else because it affects all that you are, even the course of your life. And the key to doing that is found in the previous verses that remind us to hear, see and keep in the midst of our heart and mind the Word of God.

Arise! Shine! The Lord Is Your Light!

“THE Lord is my Light and my Salvation–whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life–of whom shall I be afraid?”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭27:1‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

“ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you–rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!”‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭60:1‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

The moon has no light of its own, but reflects the light of the sun. So we have no light of our own, but reflect The Light of the Son as we simply rest and abide in His love.

Hope Built On Jesus Only

“For You are my hope, O Lord GOD; You are my trust from my youth…I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭71:5, 14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

For the last two weeks, Jesus has been speaking to my heart about many who have lost hope or feel they are in a state of hopelessness. And He wants to remind you that He Himself is your Hope.

Jesus IS

JESUS IS THE LOVE OF GOD.
