Shalom, shalom beloved of the Lord! It has been a little time since I’ve last blogged. As a matter of fact, my last blog was about my testimony that was connected to our beloved feast, Passover. I didn’t realize at the time the Lord was leading me into a pause,  a “come away with me” season. It was a time to shut down the noise, separate, and be still for the purpose of correction, repentance and healing! I know the Lord calls all of us to this type of season. His objective and heart’s desire is for all of us to look like Him as His sons and daughters as we endeavor to live a life of surrender and obedience to the call of loving Him as we also love one another, the two greatest commandments that Yeshua gave to us (Matthew 22:37-40).

Now on the subject of Passover, I just need to say that there are so many wonderful things about this feast I could expound on. Just its prophetic nature is found in the foreshadowing of Yeshua as our Passover Lamb, Baruch Ha Shem! (Blessed be His Name). Yeshua released the full expression of Himself as Redeemer through His body on the cross upon all who would believe in His Name. These are those that would partake of the inheritance that we have as saints that include an eternal salvation and reconciliation, the topic of this post. The veil that was torn through His body made the way for us to approach the presence of a Holy God, those of Israel and those who would believe on His Name, that’s reconciliation! The sacrificial act of being nailed to the cross that unified His Body, that’s reconciliation!

Before we move on to our topic, I’d like to share with you a little of my Jewish tradition of the Passover Seder. There is a Hebrew song that is sung at the Passover seder table and it is called “Dayenu.” It means, “it would have been enough.” We recount all of the acts of kindness, judgements and the miracles of God and say for each one, “Dayenu,” it would have been enough, thanking God for each act, as each one would have been enough! How many of us can relate as we have experienced many testimonies of all that He has done for us? Each one would have been enough, but He had more in store for us! Maybe this Passover every one of us can take a little time to recount some of the things that He has done for us with thanksgiving and even more so, thanksgiving to our ultimate Dayenu, because, He is enough and in Him we are complete! (Colossians 2:10) Nothing can top that, can it? Amen!

What Yeshua accomplished for us on the cross is beyond words. There can never be enough thanks for what He did. And because of the love, mercy and sacrifice we freely received through His death on the cross, I can tell you that the Father’s heart grieves. See, through Jesus, we have been given the right to become children of God (John 1:12). And as I stated previously, as sons and daughters, we cultivate a life of love yet many, not all, but many believers have not walked in their sonship. The commandment of loving one another almost seems obsolete. We have become self-centered, prideful, loveless and divisive. Some say, “we know Jesus,” but do we really?

There’s a difference between having a theological knowledge of Jesus, vs knowing Him intimately. To know Him intimately means becoming acquainted with His ways and becoming just like Him through correction and maturity. It also means being His ambassador, representing Him to the world that we may be witnesses of His glory. This is sonship! Yet, when there is an absence of love and a priority of self (aka pride), we open the door to deception by coming into agreement with the enemy. His goal is to divide the church and sever the reconciliation that Jesus died for us to have with one another. This plot to divide has made its way into the church through our disobedience and has become like a cancer growing on a platform before the whole world to see. Lord forgive us!

This is demonic beloved! Many have been deceived by the enemy because he knows that when we function within our corporate identity as the church, we will not only fulfill the prophecy found in Isaiah 11v9, “For the whole earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea,” but in addition, we will also answer and fulfill what Jesus prayed in His High Priestly Prayer found in John 17:20-23. Let’s take a look:

As we see, it is our unity, our oneness as His Body that spreads the knowledge of Him that permeates throughout the world! We are the answer to His prayer! But in order for us to do this and walk in our full identity as the church there are two parts that need to be fulfilled: 1. We must discern our own hearts (Psalm 139:23-24) and be willing to be corrected as the children of God. And as we do, we then can contribute corporately.

Secondly, there is another part in walking in our full identity. Now this part may take two posts. I will begin part two next week during Passover and we will continue to examine the above passage along with another passage that will uncover the mystery of the reconciliation that happened through His body on the cross during Passover that will spark worldwide revival and Jesus’ return.

Passover begins next week (Wednesday evening). Personally, this feast is especially dear to my heart as it is the highlight of my testimony and my spiritual birthday. If you like to read about my testimony, click here.

Until then, May we be one as Yeshua and the Father are one, united in heart and mind! And may the Lord bless you and keep you and continue to make His face shine upon you and give you complete shalom!
