God has been speaking to me for weeks about the fact that this a promotion time. I struggled with this prophetic word because let's face it, when you look from an earthly perspective, what we are facing as a nation and internationally are tough times.
As many of you know, I have been writing for years on the value of the prophetic truths hidden in the Hebrew calendar and how God speaks prophetically to us through it, as a people of God. No matter what we may be facing in our lives, the Word of God, the Torah, and the Hebrew calendar remain the same. They are long-standing truths direct from God that cannot be shaken. We know the power of the Word of God and the testimonies of the lives of those written within the Torah writings and the Bible who were changed when they obeyed the word of the Lord first, and not their circumstances.
When we look at our current world and the loss and pain we have experienced worldwide from the coronavirus, we are in a place of lack and fear, but this is not God's truth and not His perspective. We must stand on God's truth that never changes, especially in the worst of times.
Deliverance in the Month of Nisan
As the month of Nisan on the Hebrew Calendar just started on March 25th at sundown, the Lord has been showing me the power of His words to Moses in Exodus 12. We read what God speaks to him about what is upon God's people and how they should respond in light of the news that an angel of death was coming to overthrow the Egyptian gods, and, ultimately, release God's people from bondage and move the Israelites into the Promised Land in Canaan.
We, as a people, are called to live by faith and faith alone. We are called to stand firm in the faith and not be defeated. These are words we minister to ourselves daily as we speak God's words of life and remember the life of Jesus our Messiah as He walked the earth.
As all of us have been feeling intense spiritual warfare manifesting biologically, psychologically, socially, and economically, many have chosen to look at their surroundings instead of God Himself. We have been given an amazing picture of truth in our very last month of the year on the Hebrew calendar called Adar. In this very month we read of the plagues that were sent to release God's people from bondage. In Exodus 11 we read of the final plague that was to come by the angel of death.
Exodus 11:9 (NASB), "Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that My wonders will be multiplied in the land of Egypt.'"
So, we see that God has this great plan to release His people by doing signs and wonders that will cause them to know that only God could've released them from this bondage.
Then when we continue on to Exodus 12, we read that God puts an emphasis on the new month coming for His people and the new strategy they would need to implement to survive what was coming ahead, as God delivers them from bondage, protects them, and carries them to the Promised Land. In Exodus 12:2-3 (NASB) God says, "This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year to you. Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, 'On the tenth of this month they are each one to take a lamb for themselves, according to their fathers' households, a lamb for each household.'"
God shares with Moses that in this month of Nisan, deliverance would come to His people and He would set them free, not only from death, but they would take silver and gold from the Egyptians, their very own enemy. He says in Exodus 12:5-7 (NASB), "Your lamb shall be an unblemished male a year old; you may take it from the sheep or from the goats. You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month, then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel is to kill it at twilight. Moreover, they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it." (Photo via PickPik)
Then He says in Exodus 12:13-14 (NASB), "The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. Now this day will be a memorial to you, and you shall celebrate it as a feast to the Lord; throughout your generations you are to celebrate it as a permanent ordinance.'"
This memorial that happens every year at this time in the month of Nisan is "Pesach" or Passover. This is a month where we, as God's elect, even remember that the angel of death passed over us. We know Jesus as Messiah, and His Blood is our sacrifice for sin and sets us up to enter the promise to come of a hope, a future and a destiny with Him now, in the present, and in Heaven forever. Passover also happens during a month God calls... (continue reading)
