Shana Tova from Jerusalem!
 
 
The Jewish people have been spending the last month of Elul asking forgiveness from God, their family and friends.
 
Tonight begins the new month of Tishrei and the new year of 5767.  The custom is to dip apples in honey to believe for a good year.
 
It is also traditional to eat sweet round challah bread.  This symbolizes the cyclical nature of a year.  But here is some additional Jewish insight . . .
 

Climbing Higher

The word "shana" has a double meaning as well.  In addition to "repeat," it also means "change".  As the year goes go round and round, repeating the same seasons and holidays as the year before, we are presented with a choice:  Do we want this shana (year) to be a repetition, or do we want to make a change (shinui)?  Hopefully, each year we make choices for change that are positive, and each year we will climb higher and higher, creating a spiritual spiral.

The shape of the Rosh Hashana challah reminds us that this is the time of year to make those decisions.  This is the time to engage in the creative spiritual process that lifts us out of the repetitive cycle, and directs our energies toward a higher end.
 
Amen!  Let's do it!

In Closing
 
Please keep praying for us and helping with our financial need as you are able.  The beginning of the Jewish New Year is a great time to sow a seed into Jerusalem and believe for a personal harvest!
 
 
Pastor Shelley and his family sends this New Year's blessing to you:
 
May your year be filled with Breakthroughs and His Heavy Glory!!
 
May you find special grace to lock up every lie that your enemy tells you...to only confess God's Word over your lives...and to completely BELIEVE what you know.
 
May you often taste the sweetness of HIS words and live in true agreement with Heaven.
 
May you walk in perfect health and strength...and daily soak in His Love and Presence.
 
May your lives be filled with His abundance.
 
This is OUR prayer for you!!
 
 
Have a Sweet New Year, spiraling ever upward!
 
 
Blessings from Jerusalem!
