My children, there is much confusion among my flock regarding My Holy Feast days, so for those with ears to hear, please listen closely to My words…
“I CHANGE NOT”. “I am the same yesterday, today, and forever!”Therefore, what mattered to Me yesterday, still matters to Me today, and will still matter to Me tomorrow.
These feasts that many of you so easily dismiss as just a “Jewish” thing or an “Old Testament” thing, still very much matter to Me! They matter because they are My appointed times….Special days set apart long ago, so that My chosen ones could gather in repentance, prayer, and thanksgiving to celebrate/praise/worship Me as their Redeemer and Lord who remains in everlasting covenant with them.
Many do not yet understand the significance of My Holy Days or why they even matter, but as I have often told this daughter of mine when she seeks the deeper things of Me, “It’s the glory of God to conceal a thing but the honor of kings to search out a matter.” Those of you who will truly rule and reign in My Kingdom will surely not dismiss this as just a “Jewish” thing, but rather will seek Me to guide you further in all truth. Why does it matter you ask??…the answer is simply because what matters to Me should matter to you! Your greatest desire should be to please Me and keep My commandments. My appointed times DO matter, children, and this includes keeping My Sabbath holy!
If you love Me, keep my commandments. The first of which is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. Again, this includes honoring My Sabbath AND observing My appointed feasts, not the man made traditions and pagan holidays many of you currently follow and keep without fail!
As you begin to study each of My feasts/holy days, you will learn what each one is and how it perfectly fits into My plan to sanctify and redeem a Holy people unto Myself.
I am a God of order, children, and I CHANGE NOT…those who earnestly seek Me shall find Me!
