Foundations of our Faith 3

Foundations in Celebration

During the past several years, we have prayed and believed for a move of God here in Hawaii and across the world, many of our pastors have prayed and believed with us for a revival to take place here in Hawaii, and around the Nation.

I don’t believe in unfruitful prayers or answered prayers. If God is the originator of the prayer it will come to pass, do not let this storm discourage you, our God is faithful.

Let’s get back to the foundations of our faith

Foundation in Celebration

Celebration is The act, process of showing appreciation, gratitude and/or remembrance, notably as a social event.

God instructed His people, Israel, to have seven festivals, celebrations through out the year

1 Passover, (protection )

2 Unleavened Bread (Jesus the perfect sacrifice)

3 First Fruits (the same day Jesus was raised from the dead)

4 Feast of Weeks or Pentecost, (the coming of the Holy Spirit)

5 Feast of Trumpets, (associated to the rapture the wedding of the Lamb of God)

6 Day of Atonement, (Our debt has been paid by Jesus, one perfect sacrifice)

7 Feast of Tabernacles or Booths, God will return as Jesus and dwell with His people forever

1. Passover — (protection)

Leviticus 22:4-8

This feast remembers the last plague in Egypt, when the angel of death “passed over” the children of Israel who applied the blood of the lamb to their doors. The Israelites took a bundle of hyssop and dipped it into the blood in the basin at the threshold. Going up, they put it up on the lintel, then touched the two sides of the frame (Exodus 12). Can you see the imagery? Bottom to top, side to side: the motion formed a cross.
