A PASSOVER EXPEREINCE
This week we celebrate the Holidays in the Jewish calendar and the Christian Church calendar of Passover, Good Friday and Resurrection Day – (commonly called Easter). Let’s take advantage of these “High Holy Days” and pray for the blood of the Lamb to be sprinkled upon our households, neighborhoods and cities. Let’s declare that our Passover Lamb has been slain and that Yeshua did not stay in the grave – He is risen indeed! Let us believe for salvation of households this week as well as praying for the eyes of the Jewish people to be opened to their Messiah – Yeshua.
God Bless You!
James W. Goll
Celebrating Passover with Don Finto
The 14th of the lunar month of Nisan (also called Aviv) is a day to remember. This is the actual anniversary date of the execution of our Lord, as well as the anniversary date of Israel's exodus from Egypt. Since biblical days begin in the evening, the first night of Passover begins on the evening of March 29th this year. It was on this day just under 2000 years ago that Yeshua was nailed to the cross at nine o'clock in the morning, pronounced dead at three o'clock that afternoon. He was removed from the cross so that His body could be buried before the actual Passover feast began.
This is also the anniversary date of Israel's departure from Egypt about 3500 years ago. This would have been the evening of the last plague - the death of the first born of every family, even among animals in the field, all over Egypt. It was on this day that the lambs were slain all over Goshen, and the blood of that lamb was painted across the doorposts of Jewish homes to ward off the death plague that would be coming to those in homes where there was no blood on the doors. Hebrews 12:23 (NASV) calls us the "church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven."
In other words, each of us who are redeemed by God's selected Lamb Yeshua, and who have His blood across the doorposts of our hearts, is a firstborn son of God. We are a people all of whom have been saved from slavery and bondage through the death of the Lamb. Gather your family together on March 29. When dark descends, go out into the night sky and look at the full moon. The middle of the lunar month will always be a full moon. Israel needed a full moon for their departure from Egypt. The night would have been light also on the evening Yeshua was arrested in Gethsemane, since it was the night before the full moon. Prepare a simple meal with unleavened bread and wine. Though Jewish families do not normally use lamb, the symbolism here is quite strong.
All of this becomes a part of telling the stories of the two Passover nights, the original one and the night of Jesus' betrayal, as well as pointing to the ultimate supper when the Lamb takes His throne at the wedding supper of the Lamb. The unleavened bread reminds us that Israel's bread did not have time to rise; they were to be ready to depart at any moment. Leaven is also a sign of sin, since the bread is puffed up, not telling the real story of how much there is! The traditional three pieces of unleavened bread of the Passover meal is also strongly symbolic, since the center piece (in our minds, representing Yeshua) is broken, hidden, then discovered again at the end of the Passover meal. Use as much of the traditions as you deem fruitful.
The important thing is to remember this night! Celebrate your deliverance from slavery. Proclaim together the marvel of God's redemption brought through His selected Lamb!
Blessings in Yeshua!

Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem
By Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda
One of God's perpetual directives is a very simple one: "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalm 122:6). It is a timeless assignment to all who call on the name of the Lord, including you and me:
I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.—Isaiah 62:6-7
He has made us, those who mention His name, watchmen for the place He calls the Apple of His Eye. If we want to see as God sees, a key is to see through the lens of His eye, Israel. The best way to do this is to pray. As we align our hearts with Israel in prayer, we come into harmony with God's vision and timing for the unfolding events of our age. Prayer will open your eyes and your hearts to see and hear from God's perspective.
Israel is our past, present and future destiny. Through the Jews we have salvation (John 4:22). The most important event of our lives took place outside the gates of Jerusalem 2,000 years ago. Jesus is our Jewish Redeemer. Through Him we have been brought near into God's embrace:
Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called "the uncircumcision" by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands—remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the Blood of Christ.—Ephesians 2:11-13
We are not complete apart from God's covenant land and people. In a mystery, God has tied our destinies to one another. He has made us, Jew and Gentile, one new man, "For He Himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in His flesh the dividing wall of hostility...that He might create in Himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the Cross..." (Ephesians 2:14-16). Our spiritual mentor Derek Prince used to say, "If you want to know what is happening in the Church, look at Israel." We, individually and corporately as the Church, are grafted into a Jewish root that is planted deep in the soil of a particular geography—Israel. Our life is tied to that vine.
As we pray for and bless Israel, we are opening the heavens for blessing on Israel, and we are in turn bringing blessing and prosperity back onto ourselves. God's directive to pray for the peace of Jerusalem is followed with, "May they prosper who love you" (Psalm 122:6b). God's covenant with Abraham came with a promise to all the peoples of the earth, "I will bless those who bless you" (Genesis 12:3). As we bless Israel and the Jewish people, there is a blessing in store for us. A simple way to unlock this blessing is in praying for the peace of Jerusalem and the Jewish people.
Israel is God's prophetic time clock. Jesus told His followers, "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors!" (Matthew 24:32-33). Jesus was speaking of His return and the end of the age. He was letting us know the signs by which we would know to look for His appearing. Israel is depicted in Scripture by the fig tree. Since the modern nation of Israel was established in 1948 until today, God's clock is ticking down the minutes of Christ's return. We are in the last days described in Matthew 24. Jesus' instructions to us are to watch and pray (Mark 13:33). We see the fig tree budding in the land of Israel and we harmonize with God in prayer for the fulfillment of His promises to this special nation, His Chosen People, the land where He has caused His name to dwell.
"Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst," says the Lord. "Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. And the Lord will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem. Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!"—Zechariah 2:8-13
God's promises stand for Israel to this day. The nations rage and plan a vain thing, but God has declared that He will return to Jerusalem and restore the Jewish people to their land which He covenanted to give to Abraham:
He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth. Remember His covenant forever, the word which He commanded, for a thousand generations, the covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath to Isaac, and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant, saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan as the allotment of your inheritance."—1 Chronicles 16:14-18
God is immovable. His statutes are everlasting. If we want to be on God's side and step into the flow of His blessing and prosperity, we need to align with His promises to Israel in our prayer and our action. As a nation, America has experienced tremendous blessing, we believe, in large part because of our stance to support Israel. As we pray for Israel, may we pray for our own nation to bless and favor Israel. God will defend Israel regardless, but we want to be in line with Him as a people, a Church and a nation.
God's glory was revealed when He brought Israel out of Egypt in mighty signs and wonders and the blood of the Paschal Lamb. His glory hovered over the Tabernacle in the Wilderness as a cloudy pillar and fire when He led Israel to her promised land. His chavod (glory, Strong's #3519) filled Solomon's Temple so the priests were no longer able to minister when they dedicated the place God's name would dwell (2 Chronicles 7:1-2). The veil separating God's people from His Shekinah glory was rent as Jesus' torn flesh was offered for our sins outside Jerusalem's walls (Matthew 27:51).
In Jerusalem, His glory was unleashed across the earth as the Holy Spirit came like a rushing wind and tongues of fire at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4). Jesus' glorious return is yet to come, when His feet touch the earth once more in Jerusalem (Acts 1:11). Haggai promises that, "The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former" (Haggai 2:9). Israel is a central figure in God's ever-unfolding glory story. As we honor God's Word and pray for the peace of Jerusalem, we are making way for the Kingdom of God to be established, that His glory might fill the earth.
I...will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.—Zechariah 2:5
Please join us as you have time today to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, and for God's blessing, protection and prosperity for Israel and the Jewish people.

Prayer:
We apply the blood of the Lamb – Jesus Christ – over our families and loved ones this week. We call forth the blessing of the Lord to overtake them. We pray that their eyes will be open to see Jesus as the Lamb that was slain for the salvation of the world. We pray for the salvation of our families right now.
We also bless Israel this day. As they also celebrate Passover, may Yeshua be revealed to them for Your holy name’s sake. May You pour out Your presence upon our families during this High Holy Week as we celebrate both Passover and Resurrection Day. Let us declare in faith – “The tomb is empty. He is risen indeed!” In Christ’s Name! Amen and Amen!
