PASSOVER, PENTECOST AND TABERNACLES … THROUGH FAITH

(Heb.11:6)  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him [Do we?].

‘PASSOVER’ --- THE BEGINNING OF CHANGE … (Romans 10:8-) … the word of faith, which we preach … (9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Feast of Passover - Salvation - initial step ... it was received by faith … believing the ‘word’ of Jesus Christ paying my failure-debt and canceling out all of my sin. Born again and realizing that Jesus Christ dwells in me .. a new life different to what was.

‘PENTECOST’ --- THE CHALLENGE OF CHANGE … (Gal. 3:2)  This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Feast of Pentecost …the earnest of my inheritance of full God-life ... the word within now released is different to my natural tongue! Christ the Word in me now, was to me the deposit of this new life to be released by faith. I became aware of His supernatural presence in me to show forth the beginnings of an amazing total change.  We do not like change, Right? So we are thus encouraged to overcome that insecurity! Overcoming brings the changes He desires.

‘TABERNACLES’ --- THE RESULT OF CHANGE … (Rev. 21:5)  And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful (= full of faith). Feast of Tabernacles = resurrection life of Christ is my total change … totally different from what was my life defined by what I believed and what I Expressed/manifested … to expressing Christ, His mind, His word, His love bringing progressive change until all (100%) of me becomes Him! Tabernacles is a complete new lifestyle. ALL THINGS ARE NEW … TOTAL CHANGE again, by faith.

Being passive will not manifest the Feast of Tabernacles in you. You were not passive when you were ‘saved’ nor were you passive when you received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Was it not when you had faith that you received?  No different with expressing Tabs. Just a thought! Selah.
