Greeting and Shalom to All,
We are praying that everyone is enjoying summer if you are in the Northern hemisphere, and that you are all staying safe. May His presence surround us all in these days of chaos and lawlessness, and may all of our intent be to know Him more every day and bring others into His Kingdom. Our focus is on our Messiah and His words to us. *Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
We have entered the incredible month of Elul, after having gone through two months wherein grievous sins were committed. These were Tammuz when the golden calf was built and Av when the spies brought back the bad report about the land. Elul turns from these disastrous sins to the time just prior to the fall feasts, and during this entire month it is a time to seek the King, returning to Him and to seek repentance. It is a time to prepare our hearts for the fall feasts to come,
all of which represent aspects of His coming again.
