I WILL NOT CONCEDE MY FAITH

“And He also says, “My righteous ones will live FROM MY faith…
We are certainly not those who are held back by fear and perish; we are among those who have faith and experience true life!”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10:38-39‬ ‭TPT‬‬

SAY THIS: I WILL NOT CONCEDE MY FAITH!!!

“Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the Supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions—The Eyes of all our Countrymen are now upon us.” George Washington, 1776, Founders Online, National Archives

[I began writing this post December 26th, but spent the last couple of days digging further into Washington’s Crossing of the Delaware. As I went to finalize my writing this morning, I also opened my “Give Him 15” app by Dutch Sheets. Let’s just say, I love when the Lord confirms things. I encourage you to read both]:

THE 2020 CHRISTmas Star

“Here’s the reward I have for every conqueror, everyone who keeps at it, refusing to give up: You’ll rule the nations, your Shepherd-King rule as firm as an iron staff, their resistance fragile as clay pots. This was the gift my Father gave me; I pass it along to you—and with it, the Morning Star! Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches.”
Revelation‬ ‭2:26-29‬ ‭MSG‬‬

There’s been a lot of buzz about the “Christmas star” appearing in the evening sky Monday, December 21, 2020 when Jupiter and Saturn will be in very close conjunction. Yes, it will be exciting to see. Especially because the Lord loves to use His creation to point to a greater Truth! Lately, I’ve been swimming in a sea of stars! Holy Spirit has been placing them everywhere!

But this 2020 “Christmas star” is only meant to point you to THE Bright and Morning Star; Jesus Himself (Revelation 22:16)!
Now is the time to not lose heart, and do not fall into despair, but listen to the true prophets and guard your heart with FAITH!

Hanukkah, History and Holy Spirit

“And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it].”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:5‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

“Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, doing wonders?”‭‭ Exodus‬ ‭15:11‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

The above scripture was also the motto of Judah, son of Mattatias, the leader of the Maccabees. When his father died of an illness, Judah took the lead in gathering a small band of Jewish brothers to rise up in courage and revolt against their evil Greek Assyrian oppressors during the time of Alexander the Great.

A 2020 Thanksgiving Letter

“So, go ahead—let everyone know it! Tell the world how he broke through and delivered you from the power of darkness and has gathered us together from all over the world. He has set us free to be his very own! Let everyone give all their praise and thanks to the Lord! Here’s why—he’s better than anyone could ever imagine. Yes, he’s always loving and kind, and his faithful love never ends.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭107:1-3‬ ‭TPT‬‬

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.

The Spirit of Faith

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.
