“The original Passover was over 3,300 years ago. It is a night to be remembered for all generations to come…even until Jesus comes back and beyond.
Fifteen years ago – at the turn of the century our Lord called us to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. God has done all the work and He has not slumbered day or night and has created a beautiful light in the darkness and the darkness has not understood it. We know that we have been led by God to celebrate His glory and His power. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. This should be a night of praise. My prayer for this beloved community is to return His love…to love Him and Him alone with all your heart and soul and mind. To love Him is to adopt His wishes and leading into your heart. To love Him is to put His ideas and will into your life, and God in His genius has created festivals and feasts and certain foods to wake up every sense to help us to understand His will and His glorious and loving intent for all mankind.
During this time it is most important to know that He wants your heart and mind to be attentive to Him and His Spirit. It is not right to have a “ritual” (on the night we eat the Passover Meal). It IS right to eat the unleavened bread, lamb and wine and bitter herbs as a reminder of the Truth so that your entire family will know and love our God better. What is the Truth? The Truth is that you should have the blood of Christ on the doorframes of your heart. You will see redemption and salvation if you are under the blood. To participate in the blood and body of Christ is a life of forsaking the world and living only for God and God alone. If you forsake the world and its ways you will experience persecution and slander and false accusations and testing and correction. All of this is love…for it shows that God loves you enough to invest time in you…to carve out a new creation that will live forever. Share with your children your Exodus and help them remember the bitterness of the world and the sweetness of coming under God’s lead. Remember that God hates religious feasts that are not from the heart. (Amos 5:21 and 8:10) God’s people have always kept vigil in the night to remember that God stayed up all night to rescue His beloved community from the hands of satan.
Please look to God’s lead during this time. What an awesome day! It is the year of God’s favor. Make sure that you simply love Him with all your heart…for He is worthy of this and so much more for all that He has done for the Remnant over the past fourteen years!”
Those are words from Weigh Down Ministries and Remnant Fellowship founder Gwen Shamblin –What a perfect description of what the Lord’s PASSOVER means…both past and present!
