Holy Fire Creations: Blow the Trumpet!

Feast of Trumpets

Rosh Hashana 19th September 2009

Leviticus 23:2 "The feasts of the LORD,

which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts."

The Feasts of the Lord shall be celebrated perpetually (Lev 23:14). In celebrating the feasts of the Lord, we keep "in timing" with the Lord and with Heaven's activities. It does not return us to legalism or Judaism as we understand the feasts as "prophetic rehearsals" and with the Holy Spirit's guidance, there is great joy & liberty! (2 Cor 3:17)

It's a Season of Ascension!

Everytime the Hebrew children celebrated the feasts of the Lord, they had to go UP to Jerusalem (see Song of Ascents in Psalms). This meant they had to make an effort to go to a higher place, Jerusalem. However, this year the Lord released to us Isaiah 33:20 "Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts". We ascend by coming INTO the House of the Lord, by worshipping unto His Throne, by arising in our spirit & soul and not be "down" by the circumstances around us.

"I was glad when they said to me,

"Let us go into the house of the Lord."...

Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord..."

Psalm 122:1,4

Blow the Trumpets!

There is much preparation that is needed before entering any feasts of the Lord, just like there is much preparation entering into Hari Raya, Deepavali or Chinese New Year. Preparation is through the teaching of the Word but also in prophetic hearing of the "still small voice".

The Lord began to speak prophetically that He had put in our hands His trumpet but He began to speak to us "now put the trumpet to your mouth and BLOW!". May the Prophetic voice in our Nation and the Nations arise!

Sharing of the Word regarding the Feast of Trumpets, also known as Rosh Hashana which marks a new civil Hebrew calendar.

Demonstrating the feasts of the Lord in accordance to Jewish wedding customs. The Feast of Trumpets is seen as a prophetic rehearsal of the saints being "caught up" (1 Thess 4:17), referring to what is known as the "rapture". Illustrating from Matthew 25, the parable of the 10 virgins, we understand that we must always be in the posture of readiness of our coming King.

Crossing over to a New Decade: 5770

A prophetic "trumpet"

In this year's Rosh Hashana 2009, it marks a new decade in the Hebrew calendar from 5769 to the year 5770. In a few months the Gregorian calendar will also be turning a new decade - 2010. Numbers carry prophetic meaning and "70" happens to be "divine order".

Declarations of thanksgiving for the past 10 years and declaring into the NEXT 10 years! Sister Alice led the congregation to declare for our future victories in Christ over ourselves, our family and ministries. Awesome!
