Resurrection New Year Blessings in Christ
Sunday was high holy day ULB day 7 and celebration of Christ's Victory
Today we blessed all in our network in Christ Yahshua (Jesus) at this high Sacramental time. Holy water, oil and incense for the year has been consecrated also for our member’s use. It was a multifaceted holy day, as Sabbath came to a close, the New Covenant Resurrection day was celebrated by Christendom, and the 7th day of Unleavened bread, a triple high holy day. We also offered the holy Communion of Christ’s body and blood in your place. We are distributing Communion weekly as well. May your year be blessed.
I don't know anyone doing the pagan stuff. I think I saw 1 on social media with an Easter basket. The rest were celebrating our King today, the actual last day, an actual high holy day of the feast of unleavened bread, which celebrates His greatest victory of all, His Resurrection!
You may not have known but it was Divinely provided that we may join with all Christendom celebrating a triple holyday, most of all the Victorious Resurrection of our King of kings and Lord of lords YAHWEH Yahshua (Jesus the Christ).
This covers the ancient Celtic rite of doing Passover in the Hebrew way (which got us excommunicated from Rome etc, get my book on Saturday Rest, which covers this in detail). We joined in harmony with the overall church celebrating our new Creation / New Covenant status in Him. We who learn of Him, grow in Him also, adding more of His feasts.
What a most blessed way to start the new year. Please listen to my message "To bless is best": https://celticorthodoxy.podbean.com/e/to-bless-is-the-best-dont-curse/
Yes, let’s celebrate the blessings. Rarely we need imprecatory prayers. Most of the time we need uplifting in the body of Christ. As it says we put on the armor of God firstly so we may pray continually for all the Saints (Eph 3). Praying for all they that may have fallen short, that they are restored and healed back in Him. That we may continue (by His communion and remembrance through the finished work of Christ) in faith, "dwelling in Him”. “With Him abiding in us and we in Him”. as it says as we are doing as we partake in the Sacraments. The Sacrament He commanded us to do in remembrance of His death, New covenant of new creature status in Him etc. Paul called it “the cup of blessing which we bless” Galatians 3 tells us the blessings of Abraham come on us through faith in Christ, as well as the cancelling out of all the curses for disobedience (through this renewing of faith). He’s faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us of all sin. The Lord’s prayer is for our daily use, daily sustenance, daily confession, and daily deliverance.
Enjoy this blessed new Hebrew year blessed for all our friends in the body of Christ Yahshua!
(If anyone is holy let him come, if anyone is not so, let him repent. Maranatha. Amen)
In Christ’s eternal service,
