Doing Business With God
The offices of First Fruits of Zion will be closed early today and all day tomorrow for the fast day and appointed time of Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement).
Although there is no Temple today, the annual observance of Yom Kippur is still an important spiritual discipline and a commandment. The apostles teach that believers constitute a collective Temple of the Holy Spirit. The concentrated day of fasting, confession, repentance and petition for forgiveness is like the annual purification of the Temple that happened on Yom Kippur when the high priest went into the holy of holies. This does not mean that we do not regularly confess our sins and repent. Nor does it mean that our sins are not forgiven by the blood of Messiah. It simply means that, once a year, it is a good idea to take inventory, straighten things up and scrub down the soul. That's what the Day of Atonement is all about.
May you find atonement through Yeshua. May you be received again into the loving arms of our Father in Heaven.
