4/10/2017 PASSOVER STARTS 6 PM – 4/18/17 ENDS 6 PM

Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     Passover is one of the 3 FEASTS, which the Bible tells us, we will have for eternity, even after we’re raptured.  You can read about Passover starting thru Exodus 12:1- 39

 Exodus 12:24

“And you shall observe this thing as an ordinance for you and your sons forever.”

     As Christians, we celebrate this feast to remind us where we came from – eternal death TO eternal LIFE.  We are the body of Christ, so we are not foreigners.  Jesus represented the Passover Lamb in their days, as He does for us today. 

     The 12 tribes living in Egypt celebrated for several reasons.  Their yoke became lighter when they walked with Abba, they were set free from ALL bondage, and for 40 years they relearned who their God was; which was needed after 430 years of learning/following Egyptian idols, they had to renew their minds too.

     We Christians celebrate:

1 Corinthians 5:7-8

7  “Therefore purge out the old leaven [sin], that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened [sinless/forgiven new people]. For indeed Christ, our Passover was sacrificed for us.”

8 “Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven [sin], nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”

     You’ll also find much in the book of Luke, Chapter 22.  Passover for Israel is the 14^th day of their New Year, which is Nisan meaning “the beginning.”  This is the first month, with Jesus’ death; for us, can mean our first born-again month available.  A new beginning for each child of Abba, to accept what Jesus accomplished in His life on earth, His death and His resurrection for us.

     We in our Lords’ Bible Study celebrate 4 Feasts a year now.  1) Passover, 2) 50 days later Pentecost, 3) Trumpets and 4) Tabernacles.  These Feasts are parties or celebrations for what we have, and what’s to come, except Passover – that’s to remember what Jesus did for us so we could be accepted forgiven/sinless in Abba’s Kingdom.  The only other holiday we do is “the 9^th of Tish’a B’Av”, also called “the 9^th of Av" we don’t gather for this, but fast at least one meal, and pray at home for Israel that day.  Remember…

Genesis 12:3

“I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you [Israel] all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

     I must tell you, being non-Jewish, the first year we did Passover, we tried the Jewish way.  This was very uncomfortable because Jesus is excluded.  The next year we followed the Messianic way – this was better, so we've done it that way for the last 6 years.  

     This year, I found on YouTube, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn teaching both ways, step by step, explaining each one and it seemed so natural, I decided to watch this as we have our Passover dinner with him – step by step.  

     The only thing missing is that the Bible says we should never go to a King and without a gift.  We’ve always given an individual Love offering to one of the 3 churches, represented in the bible study.  Now we have 4 different churches represented and 4 feasts [including Trumpets] – so we bless each church.  PTL! 

Deuteronomy 16:16

“Three times a year all your males shall appear before the LORD your God in the place which He chooses: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles; and they shall not appear before the LORD empty-handed.”

     If you’re wondering how different denominations can learn together, it’s easy, I only teach the application of the Bible to equip the saints – no man made laws/rules, for we are one in the spirit – without division, all Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

     If you’re wondering how different denominations can learn together, it’s easy, we only teach the application of the Bible to equip the saints – no man made [denominational] laws/rules, for we are one in the spirit – no division all Brothers and Sisters in Christ.  Teachers maybe in some versions last on the list, but it’s what He’s called and trained me to do plus my name Sandra in Hebrew means, "helper of mankind."

Ephesians 4:11-13

11.  “And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

12.  to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,

13.  until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.”

      Why don’t you try a Passover Dinner, to celebrate your born-again experience in the Lord?  The main rules we follow are: Lamb is the only meat served, have NOTHING with any leavening; baking powder, baking soda, yeast or anything that makes what you cook rise.

     Watch Rabbi Cahn yourself at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2LysEMaXHw  It’s 1 hour and 27 minutes long, but worth it and – it’s great fellowship and a time to remember where we were and now, where we are!  Send me an email and let me know if you liked the teaching, and had Passover in your house or church.

As alway, I pray: Ephesians 1:18-19 for you.

“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might”
