Days of Awe

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, [and] I will praise the LORD: - Psalm 118:19 KJV

  At the end of July I heard the Lord speak within my spirit that these are the Days of Awe--that Heaven was open and He heard our prayers!
I have studied the Feasts of the Lord mainly by reading Edward Chumney's book, The Seven Festivals of the Messiah, and I knew that it was not quite time for the actual ten days designated as 'The Days of Awe'~~

A special season known as Teshuvah, which in Hebrew means "to return or repent," begins on the first day of the month of Elul and continues 40 days, ending with Yom Kippur. Thirty days into Teshuvah, on Tishrei 1, comes Rosh HaShanah. This begins a final ten-day period beginning on Rosh HaShanah and ending on Yom Kippur. These are known as the High Holy Days and as the Awesome Days (Yamim Nora'im, the days of awe). [Page 95 excerpt, The Seven Festivals of the Messiah by Edward Chumney http://www.hebroots.com/index.htm]

I had a knowing within myself that my Savior was encouraging me to seek Him all the more earnestly in these coming days leading up to Rosh Hashanah. I believe our Heavenly Father through His beautiful Son is extending His sceptre of gracious favor in these days to hear us. This 'hearing' is more intense now or perhaps the intensity is in getting our attention to SEEK HIM with all our heart, soul, and mind.
Recently, I have been receiving confirmation of my dreams and rhemas from a Sister in the Lord, Susan O'Marra. In her August 16 post, she shares what the Lord spoke to her regarding the days preceding Rosh Hashanah which you can read by clicking below~~

In The Image Of His Glory Ministries: A Time Of Consecration Has Come

The gates of Heaven are opened so the righteous nation may enter! (Isaiah 26:2; Psalm 118:19-20)

Healed!


My life, like so many other people's lives, is filled with the everyday humdrum. Take for example my morning exercise regime of using the treadmill. I crank up the worship music or watch an old classic movie as I tread away. Earlier this week as I climbed aboard, I flipped on the TV and caught the tail end of It's Supernatural, a show hosted by a Messianic believer named Sid Roth.

Sid had been interviewing David Herzog who was commissioned by the Lord to teach on His Glory. I felt a glorious shift in the spiritual atmosphere at one point (before Sid Roth mentioned it) and David began to call out healings along with Sid and exhorting people to jump up and down as an act of faith as they took hold of them. I turned off the treadmill as soon as healings were called out because I believed my Heavenly Father's goodness would overflow onto me.

When healing in the right rotator cuff was spoken, I jumped for joy and rotated my right arm excited for I believed in my heart He would heal scar tissue that had formed there. I continued my treadmill exercises and stretched afterwards noticing that indeed my shoulder felt better.
The next morning, as her manner is, my daughter Rachel massaged my right shoulder before sitting down to eat her breakfast.

"Check to see if there's any scar tissue back there," I asked.
"Hey! I can't find it!" she replied.
My husband Tom came over and he verified it as I told them what had happened to me the day before. We all celebrated God's continued faithfulness!

But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. - Hebrews 11:6 KJV

Let me encourage you to diligently seek Him IN YOUR HEART, SOUL, AND MIND. I pray that faith will arise in you and in me as well! Although I have seen miracles in my life and even in others who I have ministered to, I still struggle with unbelief at times. I continuously pray that He will help my unbelief as he did the father of the child in Mark--And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. - Mark 9:24 KJV
   

I encourage anyone who reads this to watch it here on my blog (http://lynmelvin.blogspot.com/) or look for it on youtube.com where it is entitled, "David Herzog on It's Supernatural with Sid Roth--The Glory Zone". Then please post a comment to let me know what happened.

He is faithful!
 
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. - Matthew 9:29 KJV
