You’re Invited…
The feast season of Atonement, as taught in this session, is a profound period in the biblical calendar that invites believers into a supernatural, divine, and miracle-working season. This time is marked by a heightened awareness of God’s presence and a call to prepare for the return of Jesus Christ.
The season is The Fall Feasts, established by God, known as “moedim,” or appointed times which serve as divine rehearsals and opportunities for God to release supernatural blessings and miracles into the lives of His people.
This is our opportunity to celebrate who He is to us, and God’s desire for a heart of obedience from each of us. And He’s saying, “Remember what I’ve done for you and the love that I have for you during this time.”
While Christians are not bound by the Old Testament law, the principles and spiritual significance of these feasts remain deeply relevant, offering a framework for spiritual renewal and intimacy with God.
The journey into the feast season begins with “Feast of Trumpets (or Rosh Hashanah Sep 22nd), the head of the year, which marks a spiritual new beginning. Rosh Hashanah is not merely a celebration but a time of introspection, where believers are called to examine their hearts before God.
The ten days following Rosh Hashanah, known as the Days of Awe, are dedicated to repentance, self-examination, and seeking forgiveness for any bitterness, unforgiveness, pride, or other hindrances that may have taken root in one’s life. This period is seen as a time when God determines provision and blessing for the coming year, emphasizing the importance of aligning one’s heart and life with His will.
A central feature of Rosh Hashanah is the blowing of the shofar, a ram’s horn, which carries deep spiritual symbolism. The shofar’s sound is a call to awaken the soul, to remember God’s faithfulness, and to prepare for the holy days ahead. It is a reminder of the story of Abraham and Isaac, where a ram was provided as a substitute sacrifice, foreshadowing the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The act of blowing the shofar is both a celebration and a solemn reminder of God’s covenant and the need for repentance and renewal.
As the Days of Awe progress, they culminate in “The Day of Atonement” (or Yom Kippur Oct 2nd), which is described as God’s most holy day. This is a time set apart for fasting, prayer, and giving, as outlined in Leviticus 23:27.
The Day of Atonement is not just a ritual but a divine appointment for believers to meet God at the mercy seat, honoring Him for the supreme sacrifice of Jesus, who became our atonement. While the ancient blood sacrifices are no longer required, the principle of atonement remains, calling believers to approach God with a broken and contrite heart, ready for transformation and renewal.
The third and final portion of this holy season is “The Feast of Tabernacles”(Sukkot Oct 6th – Oct 13th). This is what is known as “Celebration Time” (more to come on this later)…
God commanded His people to honor these “holy days” forever: “…these are the LORD’s appointed festivals, the official days for holy assembly that are to be celebrated at their proper times each year” (Leviticus 23:4) on God’s eternal calendar.
Throughout this season, the teaching underscores the importance of remembering God’s love, His covenant, and the redemptive work of Christ. It is a time to halt ordinary routines, prioritize God above all else, and allow Him to interrupt and transform one’s life.
The feasts are not merely historical observances but living, spiritual realities that invite believers into deeper worship, intimacy, and obedience. The call is to honor God with one’s best—through fasting, prayer, and sacrificial giving—recognizing that every act of worship is an opportunity for supernatural breakthrough and blessing.
This holy, upcoming feast season of Atonement, beginning with Rosh Hashanah and culminating in Yom Kippur, then Tabernacles, is a sacred journey of introspection, repentance, and renewal. The blowing of the shofar signals a new beginning and a call to spiritual awakening, while the Day of Atonement offers a divine moment to receive God’s mercy and grace.
By embracing the principles of these appointed times, believers are invited to experience the fullness of God’s presence, the power of His covenant, and the transformative hope found in Jesus Christ.
