WHY ARE THE THREE FEASTS OF ISRAEL IMPORTANT?


The nation of Israel was a nation chosen to show the glory of God to other nations and God gave His law to Israel and not to any other nation. God made promises to Israel and made covenants with her. God chose Israel to reveal His glory to the world not because she was special, on the contrary, she was the least among the nations and the promise is that she will be a light to all nations. God uses the least, the downtrodden, the downcast and the weak to reveal His glory. When the whole world can love the most despised of people then the Kingdom will come.

Abraham is the father of Israel, a pagan man called to be separate from the world and separate from his family heritage, a man called unto the name of God, a friend of God for he believed what he heard and walked before God in righteousness. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are likened to the three feasts of Israel as each life represents a stage in coming to faith in, walking with and identifying with God.

It is good at this time to pray and ask God to reveal His Truth as we read.

Pray this prayer from your desire to know God and the way into heaven within you.
 

" Loving Father God, Spirit of the most high, please reveal to me how I can meet you in that secret place within my Holy of Holies and come to know you at Your level of love, AMEN"
 

Israel is those who believe by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ even as those of faith in the days of observance were those who kept the law of Moses and kept up the sacrifices in accordance with the law. Jesus was the only man to keep the law, as to fail on one point was to fail altogether and no one could keep the law. The law was given to show the need for grace and Truth. The law was given as a type and shadow of things to come and the symbols used in the sacrificial system were to teach us the way and as a pattern for the spiritual life in Christ.

The life of Abraham is likened to the age of the natural Israel and that particular age or era. The life of Isaac is likened to the church age or the spiritual Israel those who believe by faith on the name of Jesus Christ as saviour and who by grace and truth have the law written on their hearts and minds. The life of Jacob is likened to the Royal Priesthood who arise out of the woman who is the Church, this life is a life of knowing our true identity as Christ and the battle involved in walking into the promised land. The Royal Priesthood are Israel, they have a new song in their mouths and hearts, they are redeemed from the earth, they are virgin again in soul, not defiled by other women or in other words souls of unregenerate man, the first fruits unto God and the Lamb, who follow Jesus where ever He goes.

In the time of the natural Israel there was a great man of God a very meek man by the name of Moses who received a vision of the pattern of the Heavenly Tabernacle of God and he was instructed to build it for the nation for spiritual worship to God. This Tabernacle of Moses is a pattern of how we can enter into the presence of God, it is like a map or a way to come to know God. This Tabernacle was made to exact measurements and all of the sacrifice to God was of a very special order and all served as a way to relieve the nation of Israel of sin. This Temple worship was not the final way God had ordained for man to have his sin removed, it was a covering for sin and not a doing away with sin. It served as a type and shadow for those who would follow in the Church age. It was to show that the self sacrifice of Jesus on the cross was the sacrifice for all people and that the Temple was not a building but that our own body is the Temple of God individually and together. Jesus Himself prophesied, when He said that the Temple in Jerusalem would be torn down and He would rebuild it in three days. Jesus is talking about the spiritual Temple of God as He lives in us all by His spirit, all joining together as one body, the body of God's Son the beloved of the Father who we all are in Christ Jesus.

Knowing and understanding the three feasts of Israel as we study the Bible gives us a spiritual picture or a way in to the presence of God. It is impossible to discern spiritually without first receiving the spirit of Jesus by belief on His name. This is the first step in salvation, believing that Jesus died and rose again into eternal life and that He now is a spirit able to give you life or quicken your spirit to the spiritual realities of God the Father. This need to have our spirit enabled to the knowledge of God in us is paramount and without it we still are in darkness and without hope in the world. The world is where we all start from, even as Abram started in the world, a place full of mans own understanding and mixed beliefs. The beliefs of mankind are many and varied, they are destructive, they cause sickness, suffering, limitation, sorrow, suffering and death. The lies of man keep us from the Truth of God and God has given us the three stages of growth in the Tabernacle to bring us to awareness of the full nature of God in us.  We become the sons of God who He has made us to be from before the beginning of time as we allow the will of God to unfold in our Tabernacle, vessel or person, for we are the Temple of God. It is God's plan for each of us to proceed through the understanding of the three feasts of Israel and for every person ever born of a women through all of the ages to come to maturity and live in heaven on earth.

We need to take a brief look at the Tabernacle of Moses and see how we move through each stage. The Tabernacle of Moses consists of three parts, the first being the outer court where people who have been called decide to follow Jesus, they come out of the ways of the world and believe by faith that Jesus is saviour, they know in their heart that God is speaking to them and that He is saying to them "get out of that corruption". This is the feast of Passover and it is seen in the old natural era of Israel as the coming out of bondage from Egypt as Moses lead the chosen people of God through the Red sea and into the wilderness.

The feast of Passover is the first step in salvation it is the calling to get out of Egypt. Egypt in the Bible is a symbol for worldly ways of corruption. This is just like Abram was called out of Ur of the Chaldees a place in Babylon, a place of false gods and idols, where people sacrificed their own children to appease the false gods of fertility and all manner of evil. We all today are entrapped by evil false gods of our own minds and we all are in bondage to fear, lust, rebellion, greed, powerlessness, pride, pain, death, limitation and poverty. The world today has a strong hold on us and we are in bondage to man and systems which control us, we can not see the way to come out of this heart wrenching anguish of spiritual torment that so pierces our hearts. This life of poverty, lack, and fear is all a deception in our minds and we do not know how to undo all of the lies, we try to shuffle them about to get the best picture but we still feel unfulfilled and empty inside, knowing in our heart of hearts that there is something special ahead for us, a way to come through but we do not know the way. Jesus is the way, He gives us a new and a living way to come into reality, to come into the light and fearlessness, to walk in power and love with surety of mind. It is the quickening power of the resurrected first Son of God that gives our spirit a boost and enables us to see, that we too have hope and a way to become all that God has promised for us all.

It is the supernatural power of Jesus that strips away the evil, ugly, perverted, unworthy, shameful, hurting, fearful, lusty, addictive, prideful, corrupted thoughts from our minds and hearts to give us His wonderful nature and an abundance of life, joy, peace and love. This feast of passover is when we believe that the shedding of our life blood or who we think we are by natural inheritance is the same death that Jesus died for us so that we need not die. The shedding of the life blood of Jesus is a way of telling us that we also must die to our self nature and that as Jesus died, we were in Jesus on the cross and that in reality we are dead for He died for us, He abolished death and tasted death for every person ever born through all ages. Passover is, being covered by the blood of Jesus and the death angel can not touch us because we are already dead in Jesus, the blood of Jesus covers us from death we need not die or go to the grave. Jesus died for us as an act of love for us, so that we could come out of self condemnation and the feeling of unworthiness and the feeling that we do not deserve all that God has promised for us. God loves us and God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself not holding us accountable for our trespasses or SIN, it is God's plan and we were subjected to Sin and death not willingly, so Jesus came to show us the way home to eternal life here on earth as we come out of the darkness of the worldly thinking and the lies of man. The feast of Passover is when we realize that our SIN is forgiven and that we are not sinners, we are washed clean.

This is the regenerating of our spirit man, this is the thirty fold ministry or the beginning of salvation, we need to apprehend this and come to terms with this feast and have now a hunger for God. This is where we have received the engrafted Word of God, which is able to save our souls. This feast has saved our spirit but not our soul, it is the growth of the seed of Christ within our soul which will finally save our soul. Christ is the promised seed from the heavenly realm which is planted in our earth which is our soul or mind. God made the promise to the seed of Christ and not to our old nature. The old nature is now to know it is going to die and we willfully must put ourselves to death on the cross every day as we set our mind on the spirit of God which is now growing within as we feed Him. Christ is now to become our true identity. The inner man must increase and you must decrease, the outer man must perish as the Christ man appears daily. This feast is the beginning of faith and the realization in your awareness that God is True and that you have been called to be a King and a Priest for God and that you are an heir to the promise made to Abraham and all who believe by faith in the name of Jesus as the Son of God.

In the outer court of the Tabernacle is where the animals were prepared for the shedding of their blood and they were washed and prepared for the burnt offering. The blood of sheep and goats was made as a sacrifice to God to cover the SIn of the nation of Israel.  The sacrifices were made in accordance to the law of Moses and the animals were a substitute for man as the animal took the SIN of man and was killed to cover SIN temporarily. The shedding of the blood of Jesus is the fulfillment of the law, there is no more sacrifice as God did not ever want sacrifice. Jesus was the sacrifice made for all men once and there is no other sacrifice for SIN, the old sacrificial system could not atone for Sin and when Jesus willingly died for the SIN of man He took away the consciousness of SIN and the need for sacrifice. God did not want sacrifice. The law was given to man because they wanted it, not God, the sacrificial system was given because of mans guilt, it was mans way to make peace with God, God did not want sacrifice, the sacrifice of the life of Jesus is a gift to all of mankind made from the heart of God to give us a way to come out of sacrifice and to find a new and a living way, not a way of death but of life eternal. When we put our self nature to death it is only putting away the way of death and coming into the reality of life which is inside of us all. Death is swallowed up in the victory of Jesus death as the resurrected life of Jesus fills us and we become the Temple of God flowing with life. We need to rid ourselves of the mentality of owing God for our guilt, He has provided HIMSELF A LAMB and we do not have to sacrifice our real life, just the false life that we live as we live the lies of the enemy within our own minds.

The passover feast is the coming out of the world into the outer court of the Tabernacle of Moses or it is the receiving of the engrafted Word able to save your soul. It is the realization that we are on a journey into a fully resurrected life and the restoration of glory which was lost in Adam as Christ left him. It is the thirty fold ministry, the being called, it is the hearing of the Word of God, it is the receiving of the Word of God and the conceiving of the Word of God and the believing of the Word of God, it is the Christian life, the commencement of the Walk in Christ, a knowing that there are many precious promises in Christ yet unseen, it is coming into the law of God, a coming out of lawlessness, a coming into Israel, a circumcision of your heart, a hearing of the voice of God, it is the hope of glory Christ in you, it is the regenerating of your fallen spirit man, it is the beginning of the re writing of your book of life or your ability to read your book of life as Jesus open the seals in your life, it is the inner knowing that you are a son of God and heir to the promise, it is receiving the free gift of the righteousness of God in Christ, it is receiving perfection and knowing that you are made perfect by the indwelling Christ, it is a knowing that you are in the loving hands of God and that you trust Him with your life no matter what. It is a coming through baptism and getting ready to come into the wilderness experience where you will wander about learning the way of God, it is a school of learning a falling down and getting up, a time of reading the word of God and studying and sharing with the body of believers in Christ a knitting together in love with the hearts of the children of God, it is good. This feast changes your heart as Jesus is believed.

The next step we as the children of God need to partake of is the feast of Pentecost or the feast of weeks, the feast of Shavuot, this feast is seen in the Bible as the baptism of the Holy spirit.
This is where we as Christians receive the power of God into our lives as an earnest of what is to come when He comes into our lives without measure in the next feast. This is the down payment of the promise, a taste of the full stature of Christ. This feast is a place where we enter into the next chamber or tent of the Tabernacle of Moses. It is called the Holy place and in the old Pattern of the Tabernacle there are three special furnishings within here. There is the lampstand which is a symbol of the Holy spirit and the Word of God, it is the light of God within us. Also there is the table of shewbread which is the presence of God starting to live in you as you eat of the Life of God, of the bread of life, the living Word of God and there is the altar of incense where the prayers are sent to the Father through the veil into the next secret place. It is the presence of Christ in us that enables our prayers to have power.

In this feast there is a real battle going on inside of our mind and heart, It is the realm where the enemy really does not want to give up any ground and we learn how to do battle to take what is ours in Christ. This is the wilderness experience where Israel wandered for forty years around and around as God worked perfection into them and the next generation. God does not look at only one generation for He sees us as one man,  He sees us as His Son who He is perfecting over all generations. God looks at humanity as the Son Adam who fell and who became SIn for us, the one who subjected us all to the vanity of our minds. God looks at Adam as being resurrected as His Son the Christ, the overcomer and He works us all according to His purpose in restoring His fallen Son Adam to become the one Son Christ Jesus.

The feast of Pentecost is where we receive spiritual gifts from the Father God as we ask of Him. These gifts are used to give the life of God to others as we serve God as the body of His Son as humanity in general and those who are in Christ. We serve God as we serve His Son who is every person ever born for God is everyone. There is a lot of falling away from the truth of God in this realm and many do not go beyond the feast of passover because of the battle which takes place in the mind. This feast is where we really learn to put the enemy out of our carnal minds and put on the mind of Christ which is within us all. This is where we learn to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ and where we learn to take authority over the enemy within as we cast down every high thing that exalts itself above the knowledge of God. This is where we do major battle and this is where we come to realize that that battle is already won in the victory on the cross. We are sanctified in Christ and we sanctify ourselves in His grace as we commit to a life of consecration or separation unto God to live a Holy life, committing ourselves to surrender all to receive all.

In this feast we learn to confront every thought of fear and lust and pride in our lives as Jesus brings them to us. It is where we are tested like never before and the more we bring the light of Christ into our darkened lives the more we see what needs changing. It is easy to slip back into darkness and not confront the enemies of the mind but we know that we are on a journey to incorruptibility and as we see clearly that this battle will soon become easier we press on to destroy every enemy in the land. This feast will give us the sixty fold ministry of Christ and we will become saved in our souls when we have completed this feast. This is where we receive the Holy spirit and fire which consumes all of the worthless thoughts in our lives. It is where our perception is made into the truth of God, where we perceive to the point of correction, where the lies of the enemy become obvious to us, where we can confront the lies and bring the authority of Christ upon them and cast them into the fire to be consumed by the consuming fire of God.

The wilderness is where we get a taste of the light bread of God's provision and where we develop a hunger for the Word of God. We study hard to understand the scriptures and the voice of God becomes more clear. This is where we continue to eat of Christ and all of His divine nature and continue to surrender all of our false image of the world to the cross. This feast is where we put on the mind of Christ which is to do the will of the Father. When the Holy spirit of Truth has come into our lives then He will lead us into all Truth, deception will be exposed and direction will be given. This is where we learn to speak the Word of God as a witness to others of Christ, this is a place where we learn to walk by faith and through the grace of God we are empowered to overcome all things. In this feast we develop the love of God and a desire to manifest His divine nature and in the midst of partaking of Him we develop the fruits of the spirit of God which are love, Joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance. It is through the testing of our hearts and joining in the sufferings of the body of Christ that we are perfected and made to be incorruptible as we see the value of gaining purity of soul and the hope of Christ being manifest in us in fulness. God always gives us a vision just a little further ahead and He gives us the way of attaining the goal as we put our faith in Him. We need to see the finished work of Christ and press into the Kingdom of heaven within us. We need to have the burning desire to find that secret spot within that we have tasted a little of in Passover and now experience more in Pentecost and hope for in fulness of, in the feast of Tabernacles. That place where we will enter in to His fulness and there will be no more coming out, a place where there will be no shadow of turning and no darkness in us at all. This is the hope we all have the hope of glory Christ in us, where we can say no longer I but Christ who lives in me, just like apostle Paul experienced and all the other apostles as they had Christ revealed in them as their true identity.

This feast of Pentecost is like the Church age even as the age of Passover was the age of natural Israel. As Israel wandered in the wilderness so is the Church wandering in the wilderness and in need of true spiritual food. Many people in the Church have partaken of the feast of Passover and believe on the name of Jesus and are saved in spirit. There are many also in the Churches who have not partaken of the feast of Passover and only have an intellectual knowledge of Jesus and have not know their Sin to be forgiven, these people still ask for forgiveness, not knowing truth in their inward parts. Many in the Church have been feasting on the feast of Pentecost and have spiritual power much of which is now used for their own agenda as the carnal mind continues to remain in control for want of complete surrender to Christ. The next feast to be partaken of is the feast of Tabernacles which brings immortality and the salvation of the body as the glory of God fills the whole Temple. This feast is here now and some are starting to walk in the promised land. This feast is the one hundred fold ministry, the full measure of the spirit of God.

The feast of Tabernacles is the last main feast of Israel and is preceded by the blowing of trumpets and the day of atonement. There is a real awakening in our spirit and a calling up to God, a spiritual ascension to great heights in Christ, a becoming at one with God, a rising awareness that we are equal with God and that we are no longer under the condemnation of belief of SIN, we know that we are Brothers to Jesus the first born Son of God. This feast of Tabernacles is the making of the sons of God, it is the birthing of Christ from within our own vessel, we become at one with Jesus as we learn to eat of all of Him and drink of His blood.
This feast is the crossing over into the land of Canaan, to a land flowing with milk and honey, it is a waking up to who we really are and who we always have been, sons of God. It is a walking in Christ having entered into His rest, a walking in resurrection power. This feast is shown in the Tabernacle as the entry into the Holy of Holies where the high priest of Israel entered once a year to put the blood on the ark of the covenant or mercy seat. This is a place where only high priests can go, a place where priests in the order of Melchizadec minister to both sides of the river of life, to those still in their bodies and to those without a covering, lost souls beyond the grave. We all are called to be priests and kings and we all are to be the priest of our own Temple, with Jesus as our great high Priest.

This feast is way beyond what we can imagine or believe and it is only when God reveals this to us that we can move forward into it. We need to know that all has already been accomplished in Christ and that we are free of all SIN, death, suffering and limitation. This is not seen by people who are still in the world or in the feast of Passover or in the feast of Pentecost. This becomes slowly revealed as Christ is revealed in us as our true identity. After we have fully partaken of the feast of Pentecost and are called up to be seated with Christ in the high place, then we become all that Jesus is, we partake of His divine nature and surrender all to the cross, we learn to eat of all of the Lamb of God, all the hard parts and not just the soft juicy parts.  In this realm we become the living Word of God, we speak life to others and bring the bread and the wine, we reproduce Christ in others as we plant the spiritual seed of Christ into their minds as we speak, sending seeds of life in our very breath, we become as He is in this world ,we are bones of His bones and flesh of His flesh. Jesus is worthy to undo the seals in our book of life and He brings us through every barrier as the trumpets sound in our Temple and the bowls of judgement are poured out. We learn to know the mind of God and move up into all the omnipotent power of God with all the omniscience of God and we become linked with the mind of God throughout the universe sharing His omnipresence. The becoming at one with God in Christ is a reality as you are filled from the inside with all of the seven fold spirit of God. The spirit of the Lord that is upon Jesus comes upon you with the spirit of wisdom and the spirit of understanding and the spirit of counsel and the spirit of might and the spirit of knowledge and the spirit of fear of the Lord. This feast is for the manchild who will feed the woman or the church with the living Word of God and bring revival to her. The glory of God will come to all people through this Royal Priesthood, this is the hope that we all have and this is what the whole earth is groaning for, the manifestation of the children of God to set all of creation free from the bondage of corruption which has been brought about by the vanity of our minds through lust. Heaven comes to earth in this feast as the heavens are renewed and the earth is made new, there is a new heavens and a new earth as the old passes away with the appearing of Christ and the fitting of the vessel into immortality. Our heavens are our minds and our earth is our bodies so when we have the mind of God and the body of Christ then death is swallowed up in His victory.
 

It is by knowing all about the feasts of Israel and partaking of them fully that we move forward in the knowledge of God and of His love. It is a pattern for us to see how we can access the inner most part of our being where God dwells in His fullness and tap into His life supply where the living waters of His grace flow without measure and allow the waters of life to permeate our souls and bodies to flow outwards to a dead and dying world to bring life to all so that God's glory will fill the whole earth.

We see the hand of God in the appearing of His glory in the nation of Israel in the natural with the feast of Passover and in the Church age with the grace and Truth which came through Jesus and the giving of the Holy spirit at the feast of Pentecost and now we have the hour when the feast of Tabernacles is birthed in the third day of Christ and the coming of the Father into His Temple as the sons of God appear as the manchild to feed the woman and all of humanity as all bow their knee to Jesus to the glory of God.

It is only when every person surrenders their self identity and puts on the mind of Christ that oneness will come and there will be perfect unity in the body of the resurrected Son of God who you are.

Heaven is within all people and we need to know how to realize it and bring the Kingdom into our consciousness. It is only the consciousness of SIN that prevents us from knowing heaven on earth now and when we all cast down the lies of the enemy the devil who lives in the mind of all people then heaven will be here.

Death will be no more in the minds of people and all sickness and suffering and lack will be past, the past does not exist and so it will be no more in our reality. The reality is that God made us all perfect in the beginning and that we have always been perfect but have not known it because of the lies within our separated minds which are alienated from the mind of God, as we all put on the mind of God then we will have the universal mind of God who knows exactly how He made us all and we will know who we are in Him. All people ever born of a woman are linked in the spirit but we all do not know this and we tend to operate our lives from our own separated minds not even knowing our full potential as Christ in the earth. We are Christ, we are perfect, we are wonderful, we are all one in God's Son Jesus Christ one body and many members all working and functioning together in the spirit.

We are made of spirit, soul and body. Passover completes our spirit, Pentecost completes our soul and Tabernacles completes our body, Jesus completes our spirit with the spirit of sonship, the Holy spirit completes our soul as He brings all Truth and the Father completes our body as He comes and lives in us in the fulness of His glory. Jesus through water gives His blood, the Holy spirit through fire gives us Truth and the Father through His spirit gives us His life. We become perfect through Jesus, incorruptible through the Holy spirit and immortal through the Father. We all must partake of these three feasts to come to fulness in Christ and receive eternal life here on earth. The Words of Jesus are that the Kingdom of God is within you and that He is the way, the Truth and the Life, so follow Him and heaven will be in earth as we do the will of the Father. There is only one way to the Father or to spirit and that is to become spirit as we eat of Jesus the one soul who became a life giving spirit, a spirit able to give life to all who would partake of Him, Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour.

We are told in the Bible to present our bodies as a living sacrifice unto God and this means we are to sacrifice all to Him because He owns us. He made us and His spirit is the true spirit within us. We sacrifice who we think we are and put that personality to death and offer our will, mind, emotions and body to God as our acceptable act of worship. This just means that we will live forever when the truth lives in us and when the lies are given up, for the lies cause death and suffering. God wants us to have great joy and peace and love and all provision in our lives and our way is not His way.

The cells of our body also give us a perfect pattern of the Tabernacle of Moses with the working of the cytoplasm and the nucleus and the nucleolus.  The cytoplasm being the outer court, the nucleus being the holy place and the nucleolus being the Holy of Holies and of course the outside of the cell is the world where the messages are passed into the blood stream for other cells. The Lord has given us many examples of How life works and this is the best and most accurate living model of how the priest comes into the Holy of Holies and ministers to the whole body. The way the DNA functions within the cell to bring new information to the RNA which then is transferred to other cells is how the body of Christ functions. This is also how regeneration occurs within our body as this is the point where the spirit of God interfaces with each cell of our body as we become aware of His presence in our own Temple. This is the point where the inflowing life of God changes our very atomic make up and book of life, which writes new information on our DNA. This is where our new man is grown within us all, this is the spiritual man that comes and lives within the very makeup of our physical body and brings metaphysical change to our person. This is where the new creation man is engaged to our very soul, this is where Christ marries our soul and fuses as one within us to completely make us into a new state of matter which is both matter and spirit, able to transcend time and space and all the natural laws of the universe. We all need to know how to set our mind on the spirit and learn how to remain in that secret place of the most high God within and develop a hunger for all that He is so as to be at one in Him.

So then we can see that God through History has given us a map and through the lives of all of mankind a stage play of human actors to show us the way into the very sacred place of His dwelling, which will enable us to know the way to eternal life. This out working or unfolding of the scroll of life revealing in reverse the way into the Holy of Holies is the key for us to enter into God again as we unlock the mysteries and follow the patterns shown by the Holy scriptures and in the lives of the fathers who have gone before us. This realization within us that God exists within the deepest part of our very own being gives us the ability to access Him and flow His life into our deceived minds and polluted bodies and thereby work out our own salvation and eternal life through the way of Jesus. This pattern of the Tabernacle of Moses is an unfolding and revealing of the presence of God in us and as we invert the pattern we can now go directly to the source of life and regain that which was lost in Adam. The fathers who have gone before us have hope in us as the sons of God and wait for us to enter into the Holie of Holies within ourselves and allow the flow of God's very essence or substance to come into our souls and bodies and into the lives of all living and back into all who are compassed about us and naked  and on the other side of the grave, setting them free and realizing the promise for them too. It is when we know that God made us ALL as spiritual beings perfect in the beginning and  that we all have been cast into a body of death not knowing where we came from and that we now know that we have been deceived in our separated minds and that we now realize who we are exactly, that we can undo all of the works of deception in our lives and in the lives of those who have gone before us.

We cannot work our way into the Holy of Holies from the world or the place of passover or from the place of Pentecost as these are only tastes of what has come into our awareness from the spiritual heaven within us and are a flicker of hope to give us a desire to seek the true source of life and for us to press on to the mark and find the gold within. Religion is when we know about God and we form methods or practices to please God or to try and reach God from our own understanding but God says that the Kingdom of heaven is within you and there is nothing that we can do to have it, except accept it as we give up our own trying to please God. God has always been within you and His substance is within the very smallest part of every part of every atom which makes up your body of clay or dust of the earth that you are. God has made our vessels to be able to receive the life giving spirit of His presence and it is only our will that keeps God out of our reality because we have made a false image of who we think we are. We are Christ but we don't know it, we have other spiritual pictures of deception in our separated minds and we need to dismantle our own minds and allow the mind of Christ to be revealed in us. The only way to allow our true identity to come to light is for us to open our heart to the knowledge of God and ask Him to overwrite the lies. Then the Truth will be who we are, sons of the most high God. This process of becoming manifested sons of God only comes as we accept the three feasts of Israel and seek the source by surrender  to and empowerment by Christ.

When the people in the world come to belief in Jesus as the first born Son of God and work through the Tabernacle then they will all know heaven in earth. Heaven is already here but we don't all see it because of our spiritual blindness or our sleep of Adam. The key to waking up into the new day of Christ and knowing our true identity is the revelation of Christ in us as we remember the words that we have heard in our lifetime where God has spoken to us and lead us. We all have heard God speak to us or teach us during our life time and we all are aware of the creation of God all around us but we keep on denying His presence because we don't want to change or because we are held in the bondage of the people around us who believe in religion or their own understanding. The one way to know your true identity is to ask God for yourself and to start praying to the Lord Jesus to reveal Himself within you for He is the true light that lights every man who comes into the world and unto those who seek Him He will come again a second time without SIN unto salvation. Any one who calls on the Name of Jesus will be saved and His word is in your heart and even in your mouth so when you take action and ask then you will receive of Him. Find the source within you today and drink of the eternal well spring of life and overcome the death of this Adamic life of worldly lies, deception and corruption, enter into the pristine life of the spiritual realm where you are at home and in peace. Remember that the work has been done and you are seated in the highest heaven with Jesus Christ and it is only your perception of who you are that is keeping you here in death in your reality. We need to operate from our true position and pour the life of God into our whole being so that the glory of God fills His Temple who you are and who we all are jointly. Operate from a position of power and truth and not of lies and powerlessness. You are a son of God, believe it and you will become one with all the sons, even as Jesus is the first raised from the dead, so you arise now and awake you who sleep, arise and shine as the sun, Christ arise!!!

(( A son of God is any person who has surrendered his/her spirit, soul and body to Jesus Christ, we are either a man with a seed or a man with a womb, a woman.))
 

Below is a Table which shows relationships within the three feasts giving a varied look from different angles and points of transition from one part to another, some will be a coming into or a going out of but they have been included as there is a place where one ceases to exist and another commences. The area outside of this chart is the world, which is most people who do not even know that they are in SIN and in need of a saviour. This table will show where you are or where you can go when you decide to follow Jesus into heaven on earth. Most of the Church is in the feast of Passover and some are in the feast of Pentecost but not many even know that the feast of Tabernacles exists and they remain static and with a false hope, as they could move forward and defeat the grave at the same time receiving the reward of the promised land the redemption of the body.

The three feasts of Israel are not religious feasts to be taken annually or in a way of ritual but are spiritual realities in the life of true followers of Jesus as they proceed into the fulness of the spirit of God and attain to the high stature of Christ. God has given these patterns to show us the way to find Him within our own Temple so as to attain eternal life, as He fills every part with His radiant glory. Do ask, seek and knock.

Following are a few scriptures from the Word of God which show the plan God has for filling each one of His children with His own nature so as to dwell with them eternally.

(KJV)

Rom 8:17-23
17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with {Him} in order that we may also be glorified with {Him.}
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.
20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope
21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.
23 And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for {our} adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.

(KJV)

If this writing has touched your heart in any way or if an angel has opened your mind to the hope of salvation and the way to eternal life and you know that you have not partaken of the first feast of Israel by belief on the name of Jesus and the power of His resurrected spirit to regenerate your life, then now is a good time to pray to God for salvation and the confirmation from His promise that your SIN is dealt with and that you are forgiven for going your own way and thinking for your self. Turn now to Jesus and ask Him to save your spirit, ask Him to regenerate your life and ask Him to lead you into the fulness of life in Him. ( link for prayer of salvation below)

If you have already received the engrafted Word and believe on Jesus name as saviour and you have been regenerated but you have not been baptized in the Holy Spirit by the laying on of anointed hands, then it is good to ask God for that baptism to take place and do seek for this and allow the Holy spirit to arrange a divine appointment for you to receive power from on high and ask for all spiritual gifts in Jesus name.

If you are feasting in Pentecost and you feel the desire in your heart to move on to fullness, then ask the Father to come and glorify you with the glory that you had with Him before the world was that you might glorify His name and commit your spirit unto Him. Allow Him to have His will in you. Give Him your will, emotions, mind, heart, body and every part, hear only His voice, do as He says and act as you see Him do, of yourself do nothing.
 
 

LORD JESUS PLEASE TEACH US THE WAY INTO THE INNER SANCTUARY WHERE WE CAN BOLDLY DRINK OF THE LIVING WATERS OF YOUR GRACE
