Today: Hidden Insights From The Feast of FirstFruits. Clearly, Jesus was the firstfruits from the dead. He is our bread of life. He brings us thru the waters of baptism into the new kingdom. Let’s not skip over that. but also, there is more than the flatfooted assertion that First Fruits was in Passover. It is. It is not in Pentecost as we were taught. However, there is a connection. FirstFruits begins the counting of the omer. Today this is merely counting of 49 days until Pentecost,where another first fruits sare waved. That is the wheat harvest, baked with leaven, while FirstFruits waves barley sheaves. Originally, the omer was a volume measurement of grain, offered each day in the Temple. Again, we see the harvcest which we are, hidden in the feast ritual, just as Jesus Messiah was hidden in so many ways. Mentioned: https://bibleview.org/en/bible/moses/feastsandfast-firstfruits/ The glory of God to hide a matter and the glory of kings to seek it out. Hope this has been fun for you. Must hear from you if I am to keep this podcast up, as I have competing duties. I do so love it — and you. Let me hear from you. Let’s have a healthy relationship and good community. Comment: Yes! I found the verse that made me question my earlier, correct, discovery. Yes, The Feast of FirstFruits is after the Sabbath in or just after the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which of course is immediately right after and connected to Passover. This is contrary to what we were taught in the Move, but well known elsewhere. (Yes, more recently, there have been some preachers who preach this correctly, but I was sitting under Sam Fife.) So: here is the verse that I ran across in my recent readings: Numbers 28:26  (NIV) “On the day of firstfruits, when you present to the LORD an offering of new grain during the Feast of Weeks, hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.” Here is the explanation. In Numbers, mentioned is Passover, Weeks, Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacles. The Feast of Weeks or Pentecost does include waving first fruits of the wheat harvest, in leavened cakes. That is 5. The First of FirstFruits includes waving sheafs of barley. Lev 23 includes The Passover & Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Feast of Weeks, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonment, Feast of Tabernacles. That is 7. (Of course, we also think of Spring Feasts, Feast of Weeks, and Fall Festivals, being 3. Of course Move trained people recognize the 3 and 7 from the Tabernacle. When we hear 5, we think of the 5 fold.) The point for me at this time is that Firstfruits is the hidden resurrection. And the counting of the omer until the next waving of the firstfruits of grain, and this time with leaven — that is the hidden sonship of the church. Apologies for not getting that spelled out into the audio. Maybe God planned that so you will know to come to the website.

Possibly the last in my series on feasts. Finally! One on Passover. And not boring. Yes, Jesus is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. But check this out. This is how God sums up the Passover story: Exodus 20:2 “I took you out of the house of slavery.”  (Then goes into the 10 Commandments.) So, what does that mean in terms of us living out the meaning of the feasts? Are we out of the house of slavery? Hmm? How many Christians do you hear saying that we must sin every day? How much are we living out freedom? But there is more. There is liberty. That is why the Israelites, just coming off Passover and the Red Sea, next hear about The Law. Why? Because God was taking them into the land — to be a blessed nation. Okay, so we know about passing over from judgement to grace. We know about the Feast of Unleavened Bread, where we purge out sin, pride… (and oh, wrath and malice which also grows)… and live in rest. Do we know about rest? Tell me if you know. What about passing over into the land? Into Freedom? Into Liberty? But then, what about going into the land? Does that mean finances only? Really? What about “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”  What does that mean? Where have we seeen that? Any lands, guided by the gospel of freedom with law? Oh yes!

Oh! How could a prayer series not include praying in “tongues”?  Well, seldom in a series on kinds of prayer is tongues considered. But it should be. It is the perfect prayer! So, I have made an unbiased, balanced, Biblical introduction. Some stories are ridiculous. Others might be some criticism of the classical pentecostal view. However, the view comes the closest to the entire record. The solution to what seems to be the problem of “no, you can’t get saved without the Holy Spirit” is yes — Holy Spirit must be convicting and leading you for you to get saved. Yes, the Holy Spirit must be in you for you to live the Christian life. However, Holy Spirit must be on you for power for service –and great if it is overflowing! And guess what, it seems that the Greek New Testament has different prepositions just like that: with, in, and on. And why would you like to make a story to let you off the gift of Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts of Holy Spirit manifestation? That makes NO sense. And, also good news, it is easy. Because it is a gift. Please share, like, and tell people about this episode.  Freely given, so please appreciate it. The post Oh! Pray in “Tongues” — Why and How appeared first on Jesus Pattern Son.

Just as this whole series on kinds of prayer started from a conversation with one friend, this episode started because of another conversation with another friend. I realized that there must be a whole lot of people who might like an episode starting in on the topic of how to pray for healing. Maybe you […] The post How to Pray for Healing appeared first on Jesus Pattern Son.

What does the Bible say about the “decree & declare” method of praying? Well, let's go into that. I know this is the most popular form of prayer now. There is Biblical basis for it. However, the amount of volume or oratory eloquence is not the measure of power. Only Holy Spirit, which may issue […] The post Decree & Declare – What does the Bible Say? appeared first on Jesus Pattern Son.

Today, coming close to finishing up our series on different kinds of prayer, we consider Deliverance prayer. Yes, we cover the basics, but then we make considerations that I have never heard before. Normally, Deliverance is associated withe the study of demons. How about let's considering our authority in and representation of Jesus? Less doubt, […] The post Deliverance Prayer – Insights You Have Not Heard Before appeared first on Jesus Pattern Son.

Some people think of worship as just any kind of worship service. Others think of worship as the song service. It is so much more. It is the secret path toward answered prayer — and most anything else! Worship as a Kind of Prayer, Method to Bring Glory, and Manifestation of Sonship. This you did […] The post Worship as a Kind of Prayer, Method to Bring Glory, and Manifestation of Sonship appeared first on Jesus Pattern Son.

Now the post that everyone has been waiting for: the one for how to pray with more authority. Once the church focused on petition, but not with much faith or teaching. Now, the same with authority. Well, fine, we are like little children, learning to walk. Ok. To pray in authority, it is helpful to […] The post Praying In Authority appeared first on Jesus Pattern Son.

Listening Prayer may be the least talked about in circles that I frequent, however, it is an ancient tradition, what I first learned, and very helpful — indeed vital. Sometimes we just need to quiet ourselves and LISTEN. How else are we going to hear God? Many people ask about this. So, I give some […] The post Listening Prayer appeared first on Jesus Pattern Son.

Working through kinds of prayer, today we consider the prayer of consecration. Some people like Samuel and Isaiah and Paul were consecrated to the Lord. We might even meet some people who inspire us with their consecration to the Lord. Certainly, Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane will be a greatest example of consecration: […] The post The Prayer of Consecration and Surrender appeared first on Jesus Pattern Son.

Mindset is something we normally hear from our secular or “New Age” friends. Hear the Words of Romans 8, again, with new ears. That we have this new translation, the Passion Translation, from Aramaic, helps a great deal. Maybe you, like me, once found your King James memorized. Great, but new insights from new translations.

In my eight part series on kinds of prayer, today we come to Thanksgiving and Praise. They are hard to separate, because when we think of how great and good God is, we are thankful. Using this kind of prayer is a great discipline and helps us. It also allows us to enter in, as […] The post Prayer: Thanksgiving and Praise appeared first on Jesus Pattern Son.

Praise can be a valuable weapon in spiritual warfare. I will establish this from Scripture. Then I will share with you a little of my learning journey about praise as a weapon. Finally, I will read some praise weapon Psalms for you. Enjoy. The post Praise as a Weapon in Spiritual Warfare appeared first on Jesus Pattern Son.

Our second category of prayer is repentance/contrition. Oh, yes, we think we know all about it. However, we are going to drop some bombshell information. We will destroy some pretty big myths. All with face value Scripture. This is set us free!  We will no longer be held in bondage either of sin or of […] The post 2 Prayer: Repentance and Contrition : Bombshells appeared first on Jesus Pattern Son.

So, I did a series on kinds of prayer. I have 8 categories. All the other lists I found were incomplete. I know I typed this out,but I also know you are not seeing. And right now, neither am I. Anyway, the first category is petition and intercession (which is petition for someone else). It […] The post Kinds of Prayer, Starting with Petition and Intercession appeared first on Jesus Pattern Son.

Today, I cover several scriptures that show our authority IN Christ.  We started out, as humans, given dominion. Then, as disciples of Jesus, we were given authority as we follow Jesus and do His assignment. Then, we see David and Isaiah's words on our authority. Amazing! Give a listen. Then memorize the Scripture by meditating. […] The post Ever Want to Pray with More Authority? appeared first on Jesus Pattern Son.

We take for granted the nature of Christmas or Hanukah as being for children and smile with nostalgia. However, there is much more we ought to consider, especially at this time.

A second attempt at unpacking the John 3 passage that meant so much to me. Previous track spoke to Move-informed people. This addresses a wider audience. the whole church.

Finishing up our series on what the Bible has to say about government, let's talk about this new idea, 7-mountains. The basic concept is also called, in different circles, “the cultural mandate.”  Given the perspective of those I know, this is an important topic to discuss when we consider how we should interface with society […] The post 7 Mountains Apologia appeared first on Jesus Pattern Son.

Here is a new perspective on the Government of God, different from what we were used to hearing in “The Move of God.” I think it is more in line with growing to maturity that what we have heard, and a good deal less tyrannical.

Today, we work through the story in Acts 20. These are Paul's last words to the leaders in Ephesus, telling them how to be good leaders.

I heard a couple of factually wrong, if insignificant things from the pulpit.

This is the 3rd and last installment in our fullsome review of Erwin Lutzer's Hitler's Cross. In earlier episodes, we saw what Hitler's intention way.

Continuing in our review of Erwin Lutzer's Hitler's Cross, we cover how Hitler lied to the church, made deals promising religious freedom for political support, but private said he intended to completely shut down churches.

I am reviewing Edward Lutzer's book Hitler's Cross. In this episode I simply establish what was going on in Germany and with Hitler as the Third Reich began.

Today we define and explain the original Feast of Tabernacles, also called the Feast of Booths, or Sukkoth.  We talked about how Jesus fulfilled this feast also, in being Emmanuel, God with us.
