Day 10 – 18/08/2020 – 40 DAY FAST The seriousness of the hour and the call to seek the face of the Lord while He may be found, was again driven home. The importance of Rosh Hashanah, as a set time, when God visits His people like at Mount Sinai, when God spoke audible to the people and they trembled. Psalm 8:4 “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit[c] him?” God doesn’t visit any other earthly thing, but us. This 40 Days of Repentance is a great and powerful way to prepare for His visitation. Lord, we thank You for this evening and we thank You, that You are preparing us for Your visitation. We thank You, that You are preparing us for the time that You will come and examine creation, You will come and look at us and You will weigh us on Your scales. Now, Father we thank You for this time, that You have helped us to be set apart, that we can seek Your Face, that we can look into Your Face and expect You to speak to us. So we can make the corrections the changes, so we can pray for our nations and that we can stand in the gap for our nations to see the best that You have prepared for them, in this time and this hour. The question was asked how Jewish people view repentance, knowing the Messiah: The word “Teshuvah” – really just means to come back. Return to your rightful position. There is a lot of soul seeking necessary to make this right turn and to try and change. Jewish people are seriously committed and takes a lot of time for that. Now is the time of God’s goodwill – to seek His face – coming before God with a petition. In particular in the 10 days of Awe which starts on Rosh Hashanah and ends on Yom Kippur and are the main days, even secular Jews are fasting on Yom Kippur, up to 90% of Jewish people are setting this day apart, even if they are not religious and this is really remarkable. Repentance doesn’t always happen with a major emotional charge, it can be a heart-wrenching experience or a quick, short, blink of the eye change. Either way the choice is yours to turn from your ways. Change your thought, change your action, change the way you have walked your way. We have to pray for our nations right now, that we are going to turn and that we are going to make this quick decision and we are going to turn back to God. For those that know Him, for those that don’t know Him, there is another story, because we will have to pray that the Holy Spirit will now get involved and cause people to actually seek Him. There is this period, to seek the Lord while He can be found and this is what is being said. So we have a dispensation of a time to repent.

“From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven [c]is at hand.” Matthew 4:17

Jesus opens a dispensation for us, which we are now seeing being closed. Because if we have a look at what is going on in the world, it looks like Sodom & Gomorrah out there, the kind of things we are doing to children, the laws, the media, what is being seen as being an acceptable marriage. This is showing the dispensation of time to find the Lord, while there is still time is closing. What is going to start to happen is that we will start to see the Jews come in, which is good, but to the gentiles, something is coming to an end and we need to have something happen urgently, we need God found by us urgently. Every Jewish feast is a set appointment with God. God said that three times a year this is the appointment, these are My appointed times. (Appointment means that you need to meet with me because, I am willing to meet with you.) It is a set time when ‘I Am’ comes and speaks to us, comes to meet with us. God is waiting for us and the invitation is to meet Him between the wings of the cherubim. “And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.” Exodus 25:22 We are preparing to meet with the Lord, because He is calling for us to meet with Him. The message of the blowing of the trumpet is God’s call to us to “wake up” and that call is for me, my family and nations. The blowing of the trumpet is the alarm clock to get us out of our slumber. The trumpet is a voice (prophetic voice) calling us back to God. We are turning and we want to hear Him, and we want to see Him, we want to make this appointment. It is not just for myself, but it is for my family, my nation, for everybody connected to me. Why is God wanting to meet with me? The appointment in Rosh Hashanah is to assess us. Its a time of weighing by the Lord. To see what have we been doing, specifically in the last year. The challenge and question is “are you excited to meet the Lord?” You should have a healthy measure of excitement and fear of God. Can you imagine that we are literally invited into the Lord’s presence, He has something to tell us, so we better be listening. Vision of a timeline – a road with periodic stops, markers put up on various timelines and my sense is that it is this year and we are being measured on the depth of growth. If you look at a beaker (cup) with measurements on the outside, that is what the measurement looks like. If you look at the top of the beaker it is lighter (like water) and it goes more murky and the bottom was just mud. Then it was shared that the word says consider your ways. Apostle Natasha said that this picture is a representation of us if we should be a vessel. – We should be a beaker with clear water.

Lord, please pour out the rubbish on the bottom of this beaker. Stir and overturn the bottom rubbish so that it can come out. Lord we give you permission to pour out all bitterness, doubt, discouragement, fear and whatever that is at the bottom of this beaker. We are willing to repent of everything that you show us. Vision - The beaker is being swirled. Everything is brown now – the muck at the bottom has been lifted. We are holding on to different things and we are not letting go of it. Some of us are bleeding and some of us are sick, but we are not letting go of it. God is beginning to stir that which is deeply rooted in us. Some of us are bleeding, why? Because something is hurting, something is hurting us because we are not letting go. So what are we hanging on to? We are going to have to make a choice here. We will have to choose to let go. Each of us will have to make the choice. Eg. Such thoughts as entitlement – “I am right to hold on to this”. Lord you are challenging our innermost thoughts. Lord, we are privileged that you are not leaving us alone, we are privileged that You put your finger on the smallest little spot. Thank you that you are stirring the mud inside of us – our thoughts, attitudes and all the things we let ourselves get away with. Lord, we are agreeing with you to weigh us, inspect us and measure us. We want to be vessels of pure water. Prayed “Break the Influence of the Father of Lies” from Aslan’s Place. (https://aslansplace.com/language/en/prayer-to-break-the-influence-of-the-father-of-lies/) Vision continues and the top part of beaker is becoming clearer, there is still swirling going on but it is becoming lighter. When looking at the tree, the root of unforgiveness has caused the branches to become totally dry, that it could actually be broken off. Some of the removal went into the root. Prayers of repentance followed and we all resigned from being our own king. We laid down our crowns, laid down our thrones and seats where we enthroned ourselves and asked the Lord to heal our wounds. Vision continues and the water is much clearer and there seems to be a greater dimension to the beaker, it’s grown. It is a lot better then what is it was, but there is a lot of fear. The moment we decide and commit to repent, the Lord is with us and He will help us. A clip was shared about The Name of God as revealed in the Bible. Jahweh (YOD HEI VAV HEI or הוהי in Hebrew). Everything in the bible has a meaning and every name carries a meaning. When Moses is having his encounter at the burning bush, he receives his mandate, he receives his task from the Lord to deliver the people out of the house of bondage and he asks the Lord; What is Your name, what do I tell people when they ask me?

“Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?”” Exodus 3:13

Usually when you read your Bible they will have it translated like “I AM THAT I AM” go tell them I AM sent you.

“And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” Exodus 3:14 There is a problem: First, if I ask someone what is your name and they answers me I am, then I can say well, I am to? What is your name? The problem is that God doesn’t say that ‘I AM’, He says ‘I WILL BE WHO I WILL BE’, my take is that God is willing to become anything it takes to deliver us and to save us, He is willing to be whatever it takes to get us out of trouble, but there is even a deeper meaning here. God uses future tense when he describes Himself. So in the 15th verse of Exodus 3 He says: “Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord

הוהי God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.’” We are not even allowed to say these? for letters הוהי . The Rabbi’s says that we don’t know how to pronounce it and you don’t take the name of God in vain and so, we automatically read and say Adonai or HaShem, whenever we see these 4 letters. Christians says Jehovah, but the problem is that it carries no meaning, everything in the Bible carries a meaning. When I look at these 4 letters, it has a future tense, 3rd person, it is a verb (strange verb), we normally only use it in present tense, we use it in everyday Hebrew, it means to ‘materialize to constitute to embody’. You get a phone bill and it says that it does not constitute for tax purposes as an invoice, what does that mean? In Theological terms it means “the one that will incarnate” “the one that will come in the body” So when God introduced Himself to Moses, I am the one who will materialize, I am that one that will incarnate, I am the incarnating one. We used to read in the Bible and people have said it as well, in the Old Testament you see the Father, He is dealing with the people of Israel, He is holy, stern, angry and we see Jesus, He comes as Yeshua and He comes in the New Testament and then you see the Holy Spirit, but this is really confusing, because I read in the Bible John 1:18 “No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten [h]Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.” in another place it says 1 John 4:12

“No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.” It is not only John who is arguing this matter, Paul says to Timothy concerning God 1 Timothy 6:16 “who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.” Now this is confusing, because we have read in the Bible that the Lord used to speak to Moses, face to face, Exodus 33:11 “So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle.” Whom did Moses see then if he didn’t see the Father? And John is clear about that, it was not the Father, Paul is clear about that, it was not the Father, Jesus is clear about it, that it was not the Father. Whom did they see? Whom did Jacob see when he fought with a man and asked please tell me your name, and asked him to bless him? Genesis 32:29. Later Jacob calls the place Peniel, “The Face of God” (Genesis 32:30) Whom did he see? So we can clearly see that the one that appeared in the old covenant was Jahweh the one that will incarnate. When we look at the quote like ‘the word of the Lord came to Abraham’ ‘the word of the Lord’ is 5 words in English In Hebrew is it only 2 words, these two Hebrew words put together means to incarnate. When we look at these words I realise that I have seen it somewhere. John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Jesus went walking with them and explained to them regarding Himself: Luke 24:27 “And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He [g]expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.” This is one way to look at this – if this is true – that Jahweh means the one that will come in the flesh, referring to Jesus, that He revealed Himself as the one that was incarnate in the Old Testament, then literally all the scriptures speak of Him, because everyplace you see these 4 letters they speak about Jesus. This takes me to the next point – the redemptive names of God. There are many names of God in the book of the covenant and God didn’t give the people of Israel a list. He did redemptive acts. He took the people out of bondage and he healed everyone of them during that one Passover night. Then He revealed His name – My name is the Lord your healer.

If you look at these 4 letters – it gets a whole new meaning. I am the one that will incarnate as your healer, your doctor. Or another name of God that we see in Psalm 23 is The Lord is my Shepherd. The one that will incarnate as my shepherd, didn’t Jesus say that I am the good shepherd? My sheep hear My voice We see the name – The Lord our Righteousness (Jeremiah 23) The one that embodies our righteousness. They all saw Jesus – this means that the Jewish people are all worshiping Jesus without knowing. Jewish people says HaShem (the Name), they are unknowingly worship the same Jesus Christ as the believers of Christ. Apostle Natasha explains the meaning of incarnate: It means the one that will become flesh. He will take on flesh / manifest Himself on earth. Apostle Natasha shares that at the time of her teaching the crucifixion she learned that they put a title on the top of Jesus head. That said the King of the Jews in 3 languages, Hebrew, Greek, Latin (INRI).

Every year with the Passover offering you would put on your lamb you are bringing to the offering your name as a nametag around the lamb’s neck – as to identify that it was your families name. eg. Grbich If we look at the Hebrew writing closer you will see the following:

Even the inscription on the Cross of Jesus says that whatever we need God to be, he is already there, already has done it, it is finished. When we pray “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done” we are ushering in the King and we will see it happen. Asking in prayer “in your Name” is a power of attorney. Vision was given that the vessel is clean and water is overflowing from the vessel. Apostle Natasha was given a mantle of the spirit of Elijah – a weighty mantle on her shoulders. The mantle landed as Apostle Natasha was sharing about the sign that was placed on Jesus’s Cross at Calvary and she prayed “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done”. It is a call to prepare the way like John the Baptist and from Isaiah 40. Delegate reported that his left shoulder at the collarbone was hurting and weight was increasing. The Lord was dealing with hearts that were calloused but now were cleansed, mended and hearts and mind coming in alignment.
