Are you ready? Early Chag Sameach!

UPDATE! OUR FAMILY MADE AN ARTICLE FOR MESSIAH TO THE NATIONS PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE PDF HERE.

The Fall Feasts are approaching and we have been busy all year preparing, working, planting, sowing, etc.. We may have loss sense on time as another cycle comes around. Time is flying and it seems like the days have gone and we are stuck thinking, "What about us?". "Why are we here?", "How much did we grow or fall this year?" Homeschooling, work, leisure, worries can take our focus from remaining clean.These are His Moedim, His Appointed Times to come back to balance and refocus our relationship with Abba YHWH. Times of Awareness in Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets) The Bridegroom is Coming!! Then it is the Appointment of Cleansing in Yom Kippur (Feast of Atonement) and them the Season of our Joy, the Rehearsal of the Wedding of the Lamb in Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles). It might seem like it is hard to do but if we love Him and Keep His commandments He will send us a Helper, the Ruach Emet. Not to be saved but because we will be saved. Yeshua came but has not Returned.

Yochanan/John 14:15-17 
“If you love Me, you shall guard My commands(Torah). 
“And I shall ask the Father, and He shall give you another Helper, to stay with you forever - 
 the Spirit/Ruach of the Truth/Emet, whom the world is unable to receive, 
because it does not see Him or know Him. 
But you know Him, for He stays with you and shall be in you.

Then we seek YHWH and say daddy, "What have I done wrong?, please forgive me."
 This we want to focus on and a point of view in the video below. 

Yeshayahu/Isaiah 1:16-20
 “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from 
before My eyes. Stop doing evil!  “Learn to do good! 
Seek right-ruling, reprove the oppressor, defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.  
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says יהוה. “Though your sins are like scarlet, 
they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.  
“If you submit and obey, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel,
 you shall be devoured by the sword,” for the mouth of יהוה has spoken.

 A time in the year called "MOED" or "Appointed Time" is like a "Date" 
with our King where He will give us the chance to plead and afflict ourselves 
for turning from the Way He has set for us. See, as a Good Father, Shepherd,...
He has given us instructions and a set of "Moedim" or "Appointed Times" 
where those who come to Him, when He said to come, have the choice of Teshuvah - Repentance. This day is called Yom Kippurim or Day of Atonement (Atonement means forgiveness, 
erasing, casting out).  We are called out to keep the feast through all our generations...

Vayikra/Leviticus 23:27-32
"On the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be a set-apart 
gathering for you. And you shall afflict your beings, and shall bring an offering
 made by fire to יהוה. “And you do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, 
to make atonement for you before יהוה your Elohim.  “For any being who is not afflicted 
on that same day, he shall be cut off from his people.  “And any being who does any 
work on that same day, that being I shall destroy from the midst of his people.  
“You do no work – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 
‘It is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your beings. 
On the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you observe your Sabbath.” 
This day set before we were born for a yearly cleansing. 
Remember the Wedding of the Lamb? Well we must have our garments ready.

Hazon/Revelations 19:7-9 
“Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him praise, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, 
and His wife prepared herself.” And to her it was given to be dressed in fine linen, 
clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the set-apart ones. 
And he said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who have been called to the marriage
 supper of the Lamb!ʼ ” And he said to me, “These are the true words of Elohim.” 

See soon and very soon we are going to see our King, our Savior. He will purify us with fire. He wants us clean and free from impurities. He wants us to Teshuvah/Repent before the actual Trumpet sounds because He loves us and desires us to walk with Him. But He is a Jealous Elohim and shares His glory with no other. He is all love and also consuming fire. He is a Righteous Judge. Are we wise enough to get ready? Not just the Lamp (Torah) but the Oil (Ruach) and the garments (righteousness-good deeds-right actions). Can we say early Chag Sameach Yisra'EL! We have so much to do and so little time. Let's get ready. 

Ephesians 5:25-27 
Husbands, love your wives, as Messiah also did love the assembly and gave Himself for it,
 in order to set it apart and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word, 
(1 Footnote: 1Rev. 19:8-9) in order to present it to Himself a splendid assembly, 
not having spot or wrinkle or any of this sort, but that it might be set-apart and blameless.
