Weekly Watch Focus: Celebrate the Feast, Blessing Israel
Friday, Sept 20, 2013 As we conclude our corporate fast, we thank the Lord for our many blessings. We thank the Lord for His Word and His Spirit. We rejoice in our salvation, as Israel celebrates the Feast of Tabernacles with great joy. In solidarity with our Jewish friends around the world, we pray God’s blessings and shalom on Israel.
We pray once again that God give us strength and grace to solidify our Judeo-Christian foundations. May He generously pour His living waters over His Church as He promised on the Great day of the Feast! May His glory shine over every family.
John 7:37-38, “On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, ‘If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.’”
Lev. 23:42-43, “You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.”
I Cor. 10:4, “For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.”
