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~~
