My New Year’s resolution is to change my emphasis from church to being filled with the Holy Spirit first and endued with...

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #280 Categories: Biblical Feasts Web Description: In Romans 12, Paul exhorts us not to be conformed to this world. That is what Hanukkah is all about.

We as believers in Yeshua (Jesus) should have the same resistance to the culture that is set to move us away from the Scriptures, away from our Christian values, and convert us to a different way of life. Hanukkah is not a substitute for Christmas....

Title: A Walk Through the Fall Feasts
Web Description: We are coming to the biblical feasts of the fall season. And rather than seeing these feasts as disconnected events, see them as steps on a journey that begins with your receiving of the Word of God, continues with your atonement in Christ, and leads to your dwelling in His presence. Let these promises come to a completion and manifestation in your life.
Show Notes: It is common to think of the biblical feasts as individual and separate events. But this podcast looks at the feasts of the fall season as a combined experience that is like a path we walk on. One feast leads to another in an unfolding walk with God. The first step on this journey is Yom T’ruah, the Day of Trumpets. Here we remember the time God appeared at Mount Sinai with the blast of a trumpet, which put all Israel into a state of awe.
On the Day of Trumpets, we become aware that God Himself came down to the earth and will again when Christ returns. This awareness leads us into Ten Days of Repentance or the Days of Awe. This state of awe should be real to us. And we should recognize that as we walk with God, what He is doing in us and through us is to bring the nations into this same sense of awe, repentance, and worship of God. This state of repentance is to lead us into Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which is about the removal of our sin.
This opens the door to the experience of Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles. This is a remembrance of the time in the wilderness when the people lived in the presence of God. And we should reach into this experience. God removes our iniquity so we can live in His presence. Sukkot is celebrated for seven days, with an added eighth day, so that we can absorb all that God has done for us to change our lives. It leads us into His Word, into waiting on the Lord, and into appropriating all God’s fullness.
Key Verses:
• Leviticus 23:23–25. “You shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.”
• Hebrews 12:18–21. “You have not come to … the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words.”
• Exodus 19:16–20. “The sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder.”
• Psalm 22:23–26. “Stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel.”
• Psalm 22:27–28. “For the kingdom is the LORD’s and He rules over the nations.”
• Leviticus 23:26–32. “On exactly the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement.”
• Read Leviticus 16.
• Leviticus 23:33–36. “On the fifteenth of this seventh month is the Feast of Booths.”
• Leviticus 23:37–39. “Celebrate the feast of the LORD for seven days, with a rest on the first day and a rest on the eighth day.”
• John 1:1–13. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
• 1 John 2:6. “The one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.”
Quotes:
• “Something is going to happen as we walk through this beautiful landscape of the fall feasts.”
• “We should look for God to meet us in such a dramatic way that it throws us into repentance. It brings us into an awe of God beyond anything we have ever known.”
• “There's something about where we come out of this walk through the fall feasts together that brings us to the reality of Christ in our life. It brings us to embrace Him as the Word made flesh.”
Takeaways:
1. At the trumpet blast on Mount Sinai, the people heard and saw the Word of God. And so these fall feasts take you on a journey that begins with your introduction into the Word of God. They bring you into an awe of Him. They bring you into atonement. And they bring you into the remembrance of living in His presence and seeing where He is taking you in the Kingdom of God as it manifests on the earth.
2. Christ walked the earth as the Word made flesh. That Word from the trumpet blast came alive before the eyes of men and women. And that is what is happening today. And it is happening in your heart.
3. Let us walk through this time of the fall feasts together and let it bring a fulfillment of His Word made alive in our flesh because we are to walk as He walked. And that is to be the Word of God manifested in this earth.
