HANUKKAH – LESSON 1

 

Tomorrow (Nov. 29) at sundown begins one of the most celebrated of Jewish holiday festivals called Hanukkah or Chanukah. It mostly falls in December, but sometimes starts late November. It’s start date is based on the Jewish calendar, so it can vary greatly from the Gregorian calendar.

 

Of the nine major Jewish holidays, seven were given by God for them to keep. The other two, Purim and Hanukkah, were originated by man to commemorate the historical preservation of Judaism. 

 

What we now call Hanukkah, is called the “Feast of Dedication” in the New Testament. Jesus went to Jerusalem for this festival celebration that lasts eight days.

 

To understand its significance, we need to look at the historical events behind it. From 336 B.C. to 332 B.C. Alexander the Great conquered all  the Middle East, North Africa, and into India. This included Judea, the home of the Jews. He was a strong advocate of spreading Greek culture, language, and education to all his conquered territories. This Greek influence was called Hellenism.

 

Thus, Hellenist culture united all these countries with a common language and culture and religious (pagan) influence. Upon young Alexander’s death from a fever, his four top generals divided the empire among themselves into four sections. One of the four sections was ruled by Syria, under the Seleucids for several generations. They strongly supported the Hellenistic culture, even forcibly imposing it. This included Judea, the home of the Jews.

 

After about 140 years of this cultural pressure, many Jews had abandoned their Jewish culture and religion and completely accepted this Greek culture and religion. By 169 B.C. the Syrian emperor Antiochus IV decreed all Jewish worship and customs to be illegal. Sabbath worship was banned. This was perfectly okay with the Hellenist Jews which constituted about one third of all Jews. Those caught in observance of the Sabbath were often executed. Persecution of the faithful few was severe.

 

The Seleucid emperor Antiochus IV, also called Antiochus Epiphanes, went to the greatest extreme measures to obliterate Judaism.

 

We shall review that tomorrow, and then see God’s answer to it.

THE ARMOUR OF GOD – LESSON 9

WATCHING AND PRAYING

 

We will conclude our study today of the armour of God by continuing with our scriptures from Ephesians 6:10-18. In verse 18 it says, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and  watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.”

 

There is an old saying that says, “prayer changes things” and this is the absolute truth. When we wear the armour of God and pray things change. We have learned that each piece of armor is identified with Jesus, and we are wearing Jesus. We also have learned that Jesus is the Word of God, so we wear the word of God. Now, we take that word and put it into prayer. We pray the promises of scripture over ourselves and over others, expecting God to move on our behalf.

 

How is your prayer life? Do you pray believing, or do you say things like “I hope it did some good.” A prayer like that will not work my friends. We must take God at “his word” and believe “his word” and act on his word.

 

We have to put faith into our prayers, because without a faith spoken prayer it will be void. We must believe that when we pray that God will bring it to pass. We cannot doubt even for a second, or we will be defeated.

 

Now that we have put on the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, our feet sod with peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit, we are armored to win the battle. Go forth with the word of God on your lips and expect victory. Jesus cannot lie. All of his promises are yes and amen to those that believe!

 

Now, we watch with all perseverance and pray for all saints that they will win the battles being clothed also with the armour of God. No fear! We are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37) through Christ Jesus!

PROPHETIC WORD

JUNE 8, 2014

AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS

 

 

Destiny – that seems like a small word to you but your destiny is your life. Before you were in your mother’s womb you were destined to this very hour. There have been many stones and ditches along your path of life, but I have been with you each step of the way. Before you even knew I was there I was with you. I have been with you and will remain with you saith the Lord, but what would you have? Would you go forward and continue to stumble, or would you let me guide you? Your destiny is not to be controlled by everyday circumstances, yet, you let those things control it. I would be the one to bring your destiny to pass, but you must listen to my plan, and when I am silent then you must stand and trust me to prepare the path for you. 

 I will not shout at you from a mountaintop, I will not push you from behind and shove you from side to side. I will be the gentle nudge of your heart knowing that it is the right way. You have questioned me so many times, and yet, have not understood the way of truth. You have bounced here and there because you are not on the path of truth. You shift so easy my child. Would it not be better to just trust that I am making your way straight? Can you just rest in the fact that I know more than you do, and will not bring harm to you as you trust me? I have a plan for you my child, and it is good. I will not reveal all of it at one time, for your heart could not bear to hear all of it, and you would be filled up with arrogance and pride. I lead you one step at a time, taking you into places that you never dreamed of since your youth. Trust me that I will help you fulfill your destiny. I will not take you down paths that will hurt you, but paths that will refine you into the person that you have been called to be. Trust me, saith the Lord. Trust me.

God still speaks through his prophets.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION



There’s times in life when we must put behind us all the disappointments of NOT getting what we THOUGHT we wanted at the time; And learn to fully accept what we DO have and where we NOW are...While on the way to where we are going. It's called PEACE. No, I'm not talking about never wanting to go further and to attain more in life; But I am saying just learn to be content right where you are...While praying and finding God’s will to go where He is leading you...And to where you really want and need to be. In the meantime, make sure to learn from your present and your past experiences as they will definitely help you when you make it into your next season. Just determine now to be content...For this is only a test. Paul gave us all some really great advice in Philippians 4: 11b...”I have learned in whatever state (circumstance or situation) I am, to be content:” Have a blessed and a content day.
