Happy New Year!

For the first time in my life I celebrated the New Year this year, the Hebrew New Year, that is! I can say that I was honored and excited to have at least a smiggin of revelation on the importance of celebrating the High Holy day of Rosh Hashanah.

It began as I once again visited the messianic congregation of my friend Kevin, Beth Ha'Mashiach. It was a wonderful time of worship and remembrance of the Lord. I loved watching the women do some Davidic dancing, even with candles! My favorite part of the service was when the rabbi blew the shofar in all the different ways that have significance, including the blast that we will hear when Jesus descends on the clouds!

Then on Saturday we sieged our clinic, that will soon turn into a memorial! It was a very special day, as we understood the significance of the day and believe that we sounded an alarm in the spirit. Oh, that the Church in Altanta would wake up to the atrocity of abortion in our city! By sieging on Rosh Hashanah, we believe we made the statement that this clinic WILL shut down THIS year, in Jesus' name! Also, as we gathered to debrief and share communion, my friend, Chad, blew the shofar in celebration of the day. In reference to Rosh Hashana, the Word says:

The the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the children of Israel, saying; 'In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.'" -Lev. 23:23-25

We gathered (holy convocation), blew trumpets as a memorial of what the Lord has done and for the memorial He will bring when this clinic is shut down, and we believe that by sieging we make an offering by fire to the Lord. I felt His pleasure over the day.
