Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant, cleansing as His Bride, getting ready for His soon return as our Bridegroom-----
The Feast of Tabernacles, now observed not just in Israel, but all over His planet, by a growing number of believers in Yeshua/ Jesus, is a time for JOY in Him. In His perfect timing He will tabernacle with us. And JOY is central to the Feast. Leviticus 23:40 states: " And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days."
One sister wrote:
"The Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) is a week-long joyful celebration of the fall harvest. It is a time to dwell in temporary shelters or "booths" made of branches and to remember God's faithful provision and protection for His people during their forty years in the wilderness when they lived in tents and under God's special care. The Feast of Tabernacles represents the final harvest when all nations will participate in the joy and blessings of the Millennial Kingdom when Jesus Christ returns to reign on the earth. "And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles..." (Zechariah 14:16-19).
"The celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles is a season of joy, and God's people are commanded to "rejoice before the LORD." The Lord is looking for true worshipers, who worship in Spirit and truth (John 4:23, 24). As we participate in the Feast this week, let us begin each day in prayer, and dedicate the day's activities to the Lord. "My soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning - yes, more than those who watch for the morning" (Psalm 130:6).
"As we begin each morning in the Lord's presence and in prayer, may our hearts and minds be lifted from earthly pleasures and pursuits, rising instead toward our beloved Lord, that we may experience the higher life of devotion and deepening depths of intimacy with our Beloved that He desires for us to have. May the dark and difficult areas of our lives be eclipsed by the sun of Righteousness rising in our hearts and filling us with greater love and light. May our journey this week lead us to new levels of joy in the Lord!"
*******************
The JOY of the Risen Christ is a key part of His Fruit of the Holy Spirit. Yes, He will be present in Person during the Millennium; but in my eyes He already tabernacles within you and me when we are truly filled with His Holy Spirit. We then can develop the mind of Christ. The more we cleanse through repentance, the more Fruit, the more of His JOY, will shine through us. And His joy is a powerful, loving witness to others. His JOY in us, despite circumstances, is a true sign of living now in His eternal Kingdom: " As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full." ( John 15: 9-11). And He says
God bless you during this holy Feast, and every day thereafter,

Do you see the work of the Lord, John 14:12, in this ministry, manifesting Christ's ongoing reign? Is the Lord asking you to donate to us to encourage His gift of repentance?
We now have an opportunity to share His gift of repentance on a half hour radio show in Southern California, Sunday mornings. We anticipate it will cost $1,200, including editing equipment, for the 17 weeks, starting next month. One dear friend is pledging a $600 matching grant, and has already sent $300 towards that matching grant. Will you please pray to see if you too can seed into this opportunity to reach thousands with His gift of repentance? Thank you.
And our dear brother, Joseph Kazembe, in Malawi,has an opportunity to travel to the USA within days to speak at a key conference and share the power of the OUT training he has shepherded, bringing over 4,000 youth into Jesus Kingdom. One donation has come in; another $450 is needed for his travel costs. Are you being called by the Lord to assist him?
God bless you,
