Yearly Cycle Updates

• Refreshing: We just finished the 10 Days of Awe and Day of Atonement. One of the concepts that kept coming up was refreshing. God wants to refresh us with fresh strength and supply. A generous person who refreshes others will be refreshed
• A New Era Has Begun: Every year on the Day of Atonement God gives me very clear messages. This message this year was... A New Era Has Begun. There is a major shift happening in the world right now. This is something we will be talking more about, but know that going forward we have shifted into a new period of time. 
• 10/2/20 Starts Tabernacles… this feast is a reminder that God is tabernacling with us. He is present with us all the time. There is a tradition of eating stuffed foods during this time as a symbol of God being in you. 
• 10/9/20 -10/10/20 Ends Tabernacles… This date ends the Yearly Cycle and brings a new beginning. Once we get past 10/10/20 be prepared for some major shifts as God repositions us in order to move u...

Day of Atonement( Yom Kippur) Starts the evening of Monday, Sept 27 and goes to 6pm on Sept 28

• This day is a total fast with no food or water ( if able). From 6pm on the 27th to 6pm on the 28th

• Often you will have some of the highest levels of clarity you have ever had if the steps have been taken.

Tonight, Sept 18th is The Feast of Trumpets

• On this evening we eat apples with honey to symbolize it being a sweet New Year. The apples help us to remember that God wants to make all things new. Song of Solomon 2:5 says "refresh me with apples."

The 10 Days of Awe (Tomorrow)Saturday Sept 19-28

• On the morning of Saturday Sept 19th I will start a 10 Day Daniel Fast ( Vegan Diet and drinking only water). 
• These 10 days leading up to the Day of Atonement should be 10 of the most productive days of the year. 
• Reconcile relationships, forgive, cross items off your to-do list, finish projects,etc.

Next Friday Sept 18th is the Feast of Trumpets. 

Trumpets is a reminder to wake up, take action, and apply our faith. 

Here is what I will be doing starting Sept 18th.

On the evening of the 18th I will have apples with honey after dinner to symbolize it being a sweet new year( Trumpets is like new years eve in the Jewish culture). The next 10 days start what is called the 10 days of awe. This is a time to take action and get everything in order. Here are some things I do during the 10 days. 

• 10 Day Daniel Fast ( eating only things that can be grown from a seed and drinking only water)
• The 10th Day is the Day of Atonement and I typically do a total fast from all food and water for 24 hours. 
• Reconcile relationships and finances. 
• A push to finish up projects.
• Taking action on anything in the conscience or to do lists that have been building up. 

By the 10th day these steps always produce some of the highest levels of clarity that I have ever experienced. Also, during these ...

40 Days of Teshuva
We are currently in the 40 Days of Teshuva. This is a time of repentance and taking action. To repent means to turn. If you will begin to make adjustments this is a time when things will often turn. Take action on anything in your conscience, work on crossing items off your mental to-do list, and reconcile all relationships, including financial relationships. If there are any bills you need to get current on then take steps in the right direction. 

Here is my challenge for you this week...

Anytime you feel your mind/emotions drifting to something other than peace and joy work to immediately get it back by increasing your presence and awareness that God is with you. When thoughts of fear, stress, worry, discouragement, etc come turn the tables and get back to a state of peace, joy, and presence as quickly as possible. 

One of the best ways to do this is by taking communion regularly.

Fri 9/18 - Feast of Trumpets
The evening of Sept, 18th starts the Feast of Trumpets. This night is like the Jewish New Year, and we eat apples with honey to symbolize it will be a sweet new year. This evening also starts the 10 Days of Awe, which are the 10 days leading up to the Day of Atonement. During these 10 days I do a Daniel Fast. These will often be 10 of the most productive days of the whole year.

Here is this weeks Yearly Cycle Updates

We are into the 40 Days of Teshuva, which means repentance. To repent means to turn. We are in the heat of the year, which is often a time of increased pressure. If you are feeling some pressure or like things are overwhelming right now, it is a signal to slow down, simplify, and make some adjustments. These situations can turn, if you will apply a combination of standing firm in the faith and increasing your presence. Presence turns the tables allowing God's grace, strength, and power to flow.

To tap into this power increase your presence and your awareness of God's presence with you. God refers to himself as "I Am," not " I Was," or "I Will Be"  The grace he has for you is available right now in the present moment, but you must learn to roll away the past and stop worrying about the future to tap into the grace that is available. 

This is a time of the year when we are reminded of God's standard of grace in our lives. His standard is that we...

Here are some key takeaways.

• These 40 days are the days leading up to the Day of Atonement.
• This is a time to repent and make adjustments.
• What are you procrastinating on?
• Are there any relationships that need reconciling?
• How would you like to be married to you? Whatever negatives you answer with begin to make adjustments. 
• This is often a time of increased pressure. If there is pressure right now it is meant to teach you to stand firm in your faith. Slow down, make adjustments, and keep your eyes focused on God.
• A great habit to get into is going for daily walks with God. 

This Friday Aug 21st starts a special time on God's calendar called the 40 Days of Teshuva. These are the 40 days that lead up to the Day of Atonement. It has been said that these 40 days are a time when God will often miraculously answer prayer. It is also a time to focus on repenting and correcting anything that is off track.

August is often a time to refocus. If you have drifted off track at all this year, these 40 days are a time to make adjustments and get things righted. 

In a few weeks the new book The 8th Date will be available but in the mean time I will be teaching the content from the book live every Friday in the Abundant Life Blueprint Facebook group. If you are already in the Abundant Life Blueprint you don't need to do anything. If you would like to join you can go here. 

The 8th Date is about understanding grace and restoring a new standard to our lives. These 40 days are a great time to start implementing all of this. Down below are links to videos with the introduc...

As we get ready to move into August, we are moving into the heat of the year. On God's calendar this is a time where there may be some increased pressure. Heat and pressure are very correlated. Many times we view pressure as a bad thing but our bodies need some pressure to be healthy. A blood pressure of 0 is not good. God uses the pressure to mature us and when handled correctly it will actually accelerate our progress. When pressure comes it is a cue to slow down, simplify, make adjustments, and still look to be a blessing. 

Yesterday I had the opportunity to meet with a friend I hadn't seen since February. The last time we met we discussed understanding God's grace and he said that the conversation changed his life. We discussed the concept of how we respond when people push our buttons or get under our skin. Our natural tendencies are to retaliate or withdraw and give people the silent treatment, but God's standard is that we would do continually good for others just like God is d...
