THE FALL FEASTS -PART 10
THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES – PART 6
SIMCHAT TORAH
___________________
October 17 will be the final of seven days of The Feast of Tabernacles. October 18 is the eighth day which wraps up Tabernacles with a special holy convocation as part of the celebration.
The convocation is a gathering in Jerusalem of the people for special prayers and sacrifices. The sounding of the shofars calls them together.
However, the Jews have added an additional extra-biblical day after these eight days of Tabernacles. It begins at sundown October 17 and is called Simchat Torah (pr. sim-khat-toe-rah). It was added by Jewish leaders during the Middle Ages to preserve unity in the Jewish faith among the many of the diaspora who were scattered among many nations of the world.
Simchat means “rejoicing” and “torah” is called “the Law,” or the first five books of Moses (Old Testament) which we call the Pentateuch. So, Simchat Torah means “Rejoice in God’s Word (Torah).” This ninth day of celebration was added from the 8th century to the 12th century A.D. varying according to which country added the practice as it became popular.
Persecutions of the Jews in the 14th and 15th centuries caused them to intensify their focus on the Torah. For example, the same Spanish King and Queen who sponsored Christopher Columbus also expelled all Jews from Spain in the 1490’s.
This increase of persecution in many countries (especially Europe) brought increased fervor to their Simchat Torah celebration with much singing, and dancing, and rejoicing in their God. However, their main focus was the public reading of the Law of Moses (Torah) in their congregations. Everyone in turn was given an opportunity to read a portion of scripture aloud. At the end they would [1] read the last part of Deuteronomy to show completion of the old year, and [2] then read the first part of Genesis to show the start of the new (civil) year.
While the Jews venerate the written word with Simchat Torah and other scriptures, we have much more “word” in which to “rejoice” (Simchat). Since the Word (Jesus) is in us, we have Simchat Logos. We rejoice in the Living Word 365 days a year.
Philippians 4:4 says, “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I say, rejoice!” Simchat Logos! He tabernacles within us!

A CALLOUSED HEART
________________
If you have ever gotten a pricker in your skin, you know it is painful, and you may try to get it out. Often you cannot even see where it is. But you know it is there. It may not bother you all the time, but if you touch where the pricker is it will bring pain again. The only way to get rid of it is to dig that pricker out. It may mean cutting into the skin. If you do not remove it, a callous may form and it will be extremely difficult to get the pricker out. Sometimes when it is left too long it may even take a dermatologist or doctor to remove it.
People have prickers in their hearts also. They often come from hurts and wounds from those that we trusted. If these kinds of prickers are not dealt with, we will eventually have a calloused, hardened heart. I am not speaking of our physical hearts, but the inner heart, our seat of emotions, the soul.
John 12:40 tells us how Satan causes this condition. “He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.” Many are blinded by Satan to their “prickers” or sin, and do not realize what it is doing in their life.
When we do not forgive others eventually those “prickers” harden us. We become bitter, and unkind to others. If you have ever met a bitter old person, it did not start when they were old. It started when they were young. They let those “prickers” in and their hearts became hardened. They could no longer feel love or anything but pain. They continually think about what those that hurt them did. They have never gotten over the “prickers” that caused pain. They become calloused, hard, and bitter. They are blinded to the truth that their unforgiveness has caused them to be calloused.
The only way that a calloused heart can be changed is by letting go of those “prickers” and pulling them out through forgiving the offender. It is painful when the wounds are deep, but it is the only way to heal that calloused heart.
Is there someone you need to forgive? The first step is to admit you have this in your life, and then repent. Please do it now before you become calloused and hardened. Yes, it may be painful to pull those prickers out, but that is the only way to heal. Your heart will become pliable again, able to love and not hate. Do not let those prickers destroy what God wants you to be. He wants you to be full of love my friends. This is worth the pain of letting go of those things that have hardened you.

A PROPHETIC WORD
AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS
How often I would have you come aside and listen to what I would say, for there is much ahead that will require great faith and without hearing my voice you may fall into deep deception. For a very dark time is coming upon the land. There shall be many hours of chaos and the streets will be filled with the blood shed of the innocent. For, in this hour a cleansing wind is blowing across the land. I am in this wind. I am blowing this wind to bring people to a place of repentance and fear of the Lord again. For just as I visited the house of Moses in times past and caused a leader to be raised up, there were many things that came about through the work that I placed in his hands. I am looking for those that will have the same spirit and be willing to make a stand against leadership that is ungodly. For in this hour, there shall be many things come upon those that I would call the enemies of God. For, there are many that will say Lord, Lord, but I never knew them. They have never made me Lord, it is in name only. I am looking for those that have a heart like David, a heart that would be after me and would quickly repent when my spirit brings conviction. I am looking for those that would put their hand to the plow and not look back. Those that are willing to put their all on my altar and go forward without knowing the complete plan but knowing that I will guide them. I am resolute in bringing this about. There will be no glory given to any man that does not yield to my spirit. For the days on the earth will be so full of violence that many will faint. This is the time to say, no weapon formed against me will prosper and rise up and be as David with Goliath. Yes, there will be many Goliaths but the rock, Christ Jesus is in your hand, and all you have to do is fling that rock, which is the word of God, at the enemy and you will bring him to the ground. Oh, that my people could only see what they truly are made of. They look at the outer man, but the strength in this hour will not come from the outer man. It will come from the inner man, led by my Spirit. Oh, can’t you see what you can do through my power and name? This is not the hour to fear, for I would say that the fearful and liars will not inherit my kingdom. Only those with a resolve to stand for truth and be the remnant that will rise up will be saved in the hour ahead. I would not say look at others and say what about them, for I will deal with each individual on their own. Each one must account for their own actions. This is the time to look inwardly and not outwardly. Will you be that one? Will you carry my word into the gross darkness that is coming and is already here? Will you be the one to stand for truth when those around you compromise? If that is you, then you shall surely see victory in and through you saith the Lord. Now prepare, for the season at hand will reveal much in my people as to what they are leaning upon. Do not try to reason this out with your mind. The mind will fail you. Do not try to do battle in your own strength, for the flesh will fail you. Remember the words of old where I told my prophet, “Not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord. You shall see mountains removed.” Now put some praise upon your lips and I will destroy the chains of prison that have bound you. Your praise will defeat those that would come against you. Hold no offense and hold no bitterness. Just walk in my power and love and you shall see victory saith the Lord.

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY
PROPHETIC EXHORTATION
Just know that God’s about to show up and turn things around for you right there in your midnight hour. Oh, yea and that’s when those busy body onlookers and the critical naysayers will have to admit that; It was absolutely, positively nobody...BUT GOD. So you can rejoice and be glad for that which looked humanly impossible; God has flipped the script…And now it’s not only probable but it has become possible for you!

Thursday Thought For Today
Here is the last story from Daniel. You must go and read the entire story as this is an abridged story. Daniel 3:1-30.
“King Nebuchadnezzar made a gold statue ninety feet tall and nine feet wide and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. Then a herald shouted out, “People of all races and nations and languages, listen to the king’s command! When you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and other musical instruments, bow to the ground to worship King Nebuchadnezzar’s gold statue. Anyone who refuses to obey will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace. But there are some Jews—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego….They refuse to serve your gods and do not worship the gold statue you have set up.” “Then Nebuchadnezzar flew into a rage and ordered that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought before him. When they were brought in, Nebuchadnezzar was so furious with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that his face became distorted with rage. He commanded that the furnace be heated seven times hotter than usual. Then he ordered some of the strongest men of his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace. So they tied them up and threw them into the furnace, fully dressed in their pants, turbans, robes, and other garments.”
“But suddenly, Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in amazement…..Look!Nebuchadnezzar shouted. “I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god!”
Daniel 3:1, 4-6 ,12,13,19-21,24-25 NLT

Animals in Heaven! HCC
Won’t it be a wonderous thing
To see animals in Heaven?
And they will all get along.
The big mountain Lion,
the Camel so tall.
The sheep will lay down,
with big polar bears.
And sheep will see better,
for God, he’s right there.
A little racoon,
at play with the skunk.
No, there’s no smell.
Oh, here comes the rabbits,
See how far they jump!
Animals, birds, a party they have.
And we are all invited to our Gods awesome plan.
I do wonder if there will be
Dogs and cats from our past.
I guess I will wait and see.
No matter what, our God has in store,
It will be beautiful, no doubt, who could love us more?

Love, Mary Weaver
