THE PASSOVER OBSERVANCE AND COVENANT BLESSINGS Covenant promises are set in place.  God told Aaron and Moses why and how to observe Passover. Passover is referred to as a Feast of the Lord. This means that God invites His people to place their feet beneath His table in obedience and, because of His generous nature, He releases blessings.  To receive the covenant blessings His people must show up. God said Passover was a memorial, a remembrance throughout the generations. The Passover ordinance is a decree made by God that is everlasting.  We know that God’s Word creates something from nothing. HE spoke and the worlds were formed. His Word must come to pass (see Isaiah 55:11). And we know that God is not a man that He should lie. He is unchanging. (See Numbers 23:19; Malachi 3:6; and Hebrews 13:8.) A decree is an official order issued by a legal authority. Therefore, when God’s Word decrees the Passover ordinance to be everlasting, what then can we conclude? That it must be remembered from generation to generation.  God did not merely create Passover to protect His people from the death of their firstborn; he created it as a process, a tool, and even a series of blessings for them and us, as His grafted-in people. Jesus is our Messiah, God incarnate. He observed the times and seasons set by the Father. Through His life, death, resurrection, and ascension to Heaven, Jesus brought Jew and Gentile together, creating One New Man (Ephesians 2:15).  As Gentiles, our hearts have been circumcised by the blood of Jesus, cleansing us from all unrighteousness. We are credited as righteous by our faith in Jesus (see Romans 4:1-8). However, due to the fact that God does not lie, He did not invalidate His words, which include laws and ordinances. So then, why has the Passover ordinance been ignored by many in the Church?

ORIGINS OF PASSOVER The origins of the Passover ordinance are found in the book of Exodus. This first Passover was on the night of the tenth and final plague that Yahweh released upon Egypt as part of His plan to free His people from slavery.  The Passover ordinance was intended to be everlasting. It was to be remembered and observed from generation to generation.  “Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to YAHWEH throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.” (Exodus 12:13-14). Was the Passover Ordinance observed in the early Church? Yes.  For the first few centuries after Jesus’ death, Jewish and Gentile Believers fellowshipped together. All those who believed in Jesus, Jew and Gentile, observed Shabbat from Friday at sunset to Saturday’s sunset.  They observed YAHWEH’s holidays—holy days or Feasts of the Lord—such as the Passover ordinance, Yom Kippur and Sukkot. They observed these days, not legalistically, but because they knew that YAHWEH does not change. They understood that when the Word mentioned “everlasting ordinance,” that’s what YAHWEH meant. Furthermore, there are specific blessings that come with observing the days set in place by YAHWEH, from remembering His goodness to reminding us of the need of a Savior. They were designed to celebrate the Joy of being in covenant with YAHWEH.

You can judge a product’s worth and value by looking at the one who made it.  Take a look at your label found in Psalm 139:13 (NIV), “For you created my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” So, JUST BREATHE. God knows you, loves you, and is for you. And that is all you need to face whatever life brings your way. Created by God…for God.

Nisan (or Nissan), the first month on Jewish calendar and it begins at sundown tonight. Nisan (or Nissan), the first month on Jewish calendar (according to the Torah), coincides with March-April on the civil calendar. The Torah calls it chodesh ha-aviv—the month of spring, as it marks the beginning of the spring months. On the first day of Nisan in the year 2448 from creation (1313 BCE), two weeks before the Exodus, G‑d showed Moses the crescent new moon, instructing him regarding the setting of the Jewish calendar and the mitzvah of sanctifying the new month. “This month shall be for you the head of months, the first of the months of the year” (Exodus 12:2). This ushered in the first Jewish month and commenced the lunar calendar that Jews have been following ever since. It was the first mitzvah (“commandment”) given to the newly born nation of Israel, even before the exodus from Egypt. Known as the “King of All Months,” Nisan is associated with the tribe of Judah and is our Passover month.  Judah goes first!  In a month associated with the tribe of Judah, we want our worship to go beyond.  Our praise will help determine our course to conquest, and how we access harvest in the land.  SO. JUST BREATHE. YOU are anointed to worship and war!  https://www.instagram.com/p/CqGq5jPOF4S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

ROCK SOLID When plans are frustrated or life just seems to fall apart in some way, we sometimes wonder, Has God deserted me? Why hasn't He answered my prayers? The Bible offers encouragement for such times by assuring us of the Father's faithfulness: "Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments" (Deut. 7-9) Five attributes of God make this possible. First, He is omniscient, which means He knows everything, including our every need, thought, frailty, desire, and life situation in the past, present, and future. Next, the Lord is omnipotent, or all-powerful, so nothing is too hard for Him (Jer. 32:17). Then, He is Omnipresent….since He exists everywhere at once, He is never beyond our reach. In addition, our heavenly Father cannot lie. Everything that He says is true and reliable. And lastly, God is unchanging. Our circumstances and the world around us may seem to be in a constant state of flux, and the Lord may even modify the way He chooses to interact with mankind in different generations. But His character is always the same. So when Scripture tells us that God is faithful, we can rest confidently upon that promise. Circumstances can be painful. But even when situations seem overwhelming, believers can trust that our sovereign Lord knows all, is in control, and lovingly works everything for His children's good. So. JUST BREATHE, No matter what we may face today, tomorrow next week, next month or next year we can rest confidently knowing that the unchanging God of all creation is taking care of us. DO NOT FEAR. ONLY BELIEVE! #stand#nofear#believe#trust#hope#dream#inspire#pray#breathe#fight#standstrongtogether https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_J4vpLoIl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

BULLDOG TENACITY LUKE 18:27 says “The things that are impossible with men ARE possible with GOD.” We must receive a revelation of that truth. It can’t be mere words that you mentally agree with. This truth has to become an attitude of life. Then we will be in a strong, steady position to reap those God-possibilities. You see, until something becomes a revelation to you,(alive in your spirit man), you won’t act on it. You may go along with it mentally when you hear it. But it Won’t be a living reality to you. You may be facing a situation where it sounds impossible that Gods Word can become more real to you than what you are going through. But it IS possible! When Gods Word becomes revelation to you in your heart, it will be a rock that will not be shaken. Nothing can take the truth of Gods Word from you if you hold on to it like a bulldog holds on to its prey. Not circumstances. Not other people, and not the enemy himself ! And the Word you hold on to will produce something powerful in your life. So, JUST BREATHE and get your Bulldog Tenacity on. #stand#believe#trust#breathe#fight#inspire#hope#dream#readtheWord#pray#love https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp0flxUuDY0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

BATTLE READY We must NEVER get into an escapist mentality because we are supposed to occupy until the return JESUS! Occupy is a military term. That means we are supposed to be influencing every area of the nation. SELAH (Excerpt from BATTLE READY project.

PRAISE IS A WEAPON “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth." (Psalm 34:1 ESV) To PRAISE and/or CELEBRATE simply means to give honor or praise publicly. The Hebrew People are masters at this, as they diligently and intentionally take time to come together to celebrate all that the Lord has done (see Leviticus 23). Praise to Almighty God is a weapon. It is not in the language of the devil, so when we offer up praise to Yahweh it brings intimidation to the enemy's camp. Learn to praise. Learn to remember what the Lord has done, and honor Him. There IS victory because of Jesus. “Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated." (2 Chronicles 20:22 NKJV) “The Lord your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." (Zephaniah 3:17 NKJV) God inhabits, abides in, remains in and makes His home upon our praises. "Praise is a heart posture of celebration." Our faith rises when we learn to celebrate Him and it puts Him, once again, as the supreme authority (King) over our lives. So, JUST BREATHE, Celebrate Jesus and ‘Get Your Praise On’ #praise#celebrate#rejoice#inspire#hope#dream#trust#believe#stand#focus#fight#justbreathe (Excerpt from ‘BATTLE READY PROJECT’ a JUST BREATHE PRODUCTION). https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvaS1nOfTt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

OFF THE RADAR In our darkest moments, when we are at the bottom of the pit God still knew us. He still loved us. We are NOT off His radar or out of His sight. How do we know that? Psalm 139:7-12 says “Even when we are hidden in darkness, the darkness is not dark to God. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you (NIV). He knows who and where we are. He knows this because that same Psalm goes on to say that “All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be” (Psalm 139:16 NIV). He wrote those days, not you. What a joyful revelation. We get another glimpse of this in Hebrews 12:2 where we’re encouraged to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Jesus is the author of our story. As we daily follow Him, we can trust He is writing a new and beautiful narrative, one where peace flourishes and the giants fall once and for all. So, JUST BREATHE, really, JUST BREATHE ! https://www.instagram.com/p/CptUMOELBiZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Battle IS OVER OUR VOICE "There is power in uniting our voices and the enemy knows it. As Warriors in the Kingdom of GOD we KNOW there is power in decreeing, speak out loud, all Yahweh has spoken. There is power in guarding your words and speaking only GODS narrative over our situation. There is a battle over our words and a battle over our perspective.The enemy is trying to draw us into a place of doubt and unbelief. The battle is over our voice. Now is the time to take every thought captive that rises to bring doubt and confusion. Those who stand on who God says HE IS, present tense, will boldly speak forth Heavens narrative. "So ‘JUST BREATHE’ and wrap your heart tightly around the hope that lives within us, knowing God always keeps His promises!" (Hebrews 10:23 TPT) “So shall My word be that goes out from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it." (Isaiah 55:11 ESV) So, JUST BREATHE, SPEAK UP and BOLDLY USE YOUR VOICE.
