The third month of the year on the Hebrew calendar kicks off the season the rabbis call the “Season of Revelation.” This primarily refers to the revelation of the Torah on Mt. Sinai, which most believe was the day of Shavuot/Pentecost. Shavuot always falls during the third month. As Messianic believers, we also know the revelation of the Holy Spirit was poured out 1,500 years later on the same day. Read the rest of this page »

Month 3: Return, Revelation & Blessing
Month 2: The Narrow Road Leads to More Revelation
We’re entering the second month on the Hebrew calendar. During the first month, we’ve experienced Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the Feast of Firstfruits, and are now going through the Omer Count.
Although it’s growing, there’s still a relatively small group of people observing the feasts and keeping Sabbath compared to the mainstream. The Feast of Unleavened Bread that has just completed is a time of distinguishing between leavened and unleavened bread, symbolizing our goal of separating sin from righteousness. The number of people eating this way for a week is pretty small. It’s likely that those currently counting the omer for 49 days is even smaller. We’re going against the grain. It’s what I’d call “the narrow path.” Read the rest of this page »
Month 1: Moving Toward Our Destiny
Unlike the Gregorian calendar, where the beginning of the year marks the end of major holidays, the Lord starts his calendar with a bang. Three of the Yehovah’s four Spring Feasts are in the first month. He wastes no time in jump starting his will in our lives. As you will see, the first month is a prophetic time in his cadence with us. Watch for his leading and align with the destiny he desires he has designed for you.
Why the Zadok Priestly Calendar?
If you are keeping the Lunisolar Hebrew calendar in which each month starts with a new moon and a 13th month is sometimes added, I applaud your desire and commitment. I have kept and promoted this calendar for nearly 20 years.
In 2024, I faced confusion with the calendar. Some believers and congregations added a 13th month to accommodate the ripening of the barley in Israel, some did not.
That put Messianic congregations a month apart in their feast observances. Also, the actual sighting of the first sliver of the new moon (which determines when a new month starts) did not line up with what was calculated on the calendar I was using, which further threw off the dates of the feasts and rosh chodesh (head of the month) observances.
So, I redoubled my efforts. Read the rest of this page »
Taking Back our Authority, Part 2
We tend to think of Yeshua’s suffering and his blood in terms of forgiveness of our sins, because he shed his innocent and holy blood to atone for us. This is absolutely true. But that is just the beginning. We also know that it justified us, sanctified us, cleansed us and so many other things spiritually. Ultimately it puts us in right standing before the Almighty God, so we can be in direct fellowship with him in everlasting life.
That is beyond comprehension, and I am so grateful for that. And… there’s even more – much more.

I would say that most believers — myself included — either underestimate the spiritual authority they have, or they don’t know how to use it. Either one of those is a WIN for the enemy. It doesn’t matter if we have the power and authority to defeat the enemy, if we’re not using it. We are no threat to the enemy if we aren’t using the power and authority that Yeshua has given us.
Today, we’re going to raise the threat level against the enemy, because everyone who reads this will understand the authority we have and how to use it.
We are the Sheep of His Pasture
Psalm 23 is such beautiful prose from David. It has so many things we desire – green pastures, still waters, paths of righteousness, protection from death, vindication from our enemies, our cup overflowing, goodness and mercy following us, dwelling in the house of the Lord.
But as a shepherd, David’s perspective reveals more than meets the eye.
The Spirit of the Throne
I did a study of Psalm 45, which is a beautiful description of the Lord in his palace. Verse 9 says, “…at your right hand is the queen in gold…” As Yeshua’s bride, this is us, his queen.
One of the things I did when I fully absorbed that concept, is to see myself standing beside him at his throne.
I would spend an hour or so first thing each morning waiting on him there. But unlike my usual waiting posture, I faced outward, looking into the palace and beyond. Quickly I began to realize how transformative this could be. This is a place where I can become transformed into his image and see things from his perspective, take in the spirit of that place, the heavenly realm. The following is what I saw over a couple of days.

If you know YHVH even a little bit, you know he is holy and has set up all of his Torah instructions for a reason. He has and will continue to fulfill all of his own instructions until heaven and earth pass away. So we understand from the instructions for the Day of Atonement that to fulfill the law, Yeshua’s holy blood has to be put on the Ark of the Covenant in the heavenly temple.
Have you thought about when and how Yeshua’s blood shed at Passover might have been put on the ark?

We know that Yeshua’s blood is what atones for us. We know that his blood was shed on the cross at Passover. We understand from the instructions on the Day of Atonement that to fulfill the law, his blood has to be put on the Ark of the Covenant in the heavenly temple. But there’s no instruction for doing that at Passover.

For the Feast of Unleavened Bread, I spent time with the Father every day imagining myself in the tabernacle. I’ve done this for several years because there’s a pattern of it commanded in Leviticus 8, where the priests are being consecrated for service. They eat unleavened bread and spend seven days at the entrance of The Holy Place. I wish I had seven days, but I spent several hours there that week. Most of that time I was face down, imagining YHVH’s presence
over the ark of the covenant behind the curtain in the Holy of Holies.
The Feast of Unleavened Bread ended on a Wednesday, and on the following Sunday I was sitting at my computer working on a project. YHVH interrupted me with his presence, calling me to him, so I went to my prayer chair where I meet with him.

Psalm 45 is one of my favorite Psalms. It’s a picture of Yeshua as the King, and his bride as his queen.
Verse 9 says, “daughters of Kings are among your ladies of honor; at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.”
Wow – that’s us! We’re the bride of the King, we’re the Queen standing in gold!

The fruit of the Spirit is a byproduct of having the Holy Spirit dwell inside us. These are nine of the qualities that are evident and increasing in our lives as we nurture the Spirit’s presence and influence within us.
Having said that, we can further excel in these areas when we focus on them intentionally. In addition to being the natural result of spending time in the Spirit, when we seek to increase these qualities by living in the Spirit, this is one of the ways we are transformed into the image of Yeshua.

I have my Yeshua time the first hour and the last hour of every day. But besides that, during this one week, he had been waking me up during the night to show me things about this one specific topic. So on this night when I woke up and heard his instruction, I figured we would be on the same topic.
While I was lying on the bed, he told me to raise my arms. I did that and praised him and told him I loved him. Then my arms got cold, so I turned over and covered up.
But I kept hearing him instructing me to raise my arms. Again I figured he had something he was going to show me. So I obeyed him. And he did!
Yeshua Loves You With The Fruit of The Spirit
Have you ever tried to describe Yeshua’s love to someone? It almost leaves us speechless, because there are hardly words to describe how multi-faceted it is. He alone possesses this kind of love, and therefore mere words cannot do it justice.
Paul tells us in Ephesians 3:17-19:
“And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
