October Updates: A New Era Has Begun

Yearly Cycle Updates

• Refreshing: We just finished the 10 Days of Awe and Day of Atonement. One of the concepts that kept coming up was refreshing. God wants to refresh us with fresh strength and supply. A generous person who refreshes others will be refreshed
• A New Era Has Begun: Every year on the Day of Atonement God gives me very clear messages. This message this year was... A New Era Has Begun. There is a major shift happening in the world right now. This is something we will be talking more about, but know that going forward we have shifted into a new period of time. 
• 10/2/20 Starts Tabernacles… this feast is a reminder that God is tabernacling with us. He is present with us all the time. There is a tradition of eating stuffed foods during this time as a symbol of God being in you. 
• 10/9/20 -10/10/20 Ends Tabernacles… This date ends the Yearly Cycle and brings a new beginning. Once we get past 10/10/20 be prepared for some major shifts as God repositions us in order to move us into a higher level of our gifting. 
• Get ready for shifts and repositioning. It can look scary, but if it starts happening in the end of October and early November know that it is God working everything for your good. 
  

Spiritual

• Pressures help us put off our old self and become our new self. Resting under pressure brings in the glory. When we get squeezed do we get better or worse… what gets multiplied?
• When Jesus said whatever we ask in his name God will do, the Greek says that if God doesn’t have it he will make it for us.
• Thanksgiving is a form of giving
• Never forget a simple childlike faith that believes anything is possible with God and asks with very simple prayers. 

Mindset/Emotions

• We must push to the boundaries and continue to grow. Everything interesting happens at the edge. Maintaining vs progressing. Maintaining is not God’s way. Keep moving forward because if you only maintain you will get left behind. 
• Often what needs to be removed is more important than what needs to be added. 
• Don’t multiply your doubts by your thoughts.
• Peace and joy after prayer are the greatest indicators that you prayed in true faith. 

Grace

• Developing the capacity to love and cherish others requires personal growth
• Having a lot of rules in your mind that others must follow leads to law rather than grace
• Problems and needs in our lives are not meant to worry us and get us down but to deepen our relationship with God as he proves again and again that he is more than enough
• Grace is the key to flow states. Get more present and revelation knowledge/results flow. 

Finances

Your source: God is meant to be our source, not ourselves, a job, or any other channel. God wants our trust and security to be in him, not money. 

Family and Order

• The process of becoming the man or woman your spouse deserves is the journey to the kingdom
• Marriage is one of the greatest opportunities for personal growth. When your spouse pushes your buttons it is one of the greatest opportunities to grow. 
• Cherish/Prize your spouse
• The order you do things in changes results. For example consider this math problem. Depending on if you do the addition or multiplication first the answer changes. 
• 1 + 2 x 3 = 7 or 9 Depending on whether you add or multiply first. 

Health and Time

• Stretching your toes does some amazing things for the body. 
• Our bodies are highly adaptable and can handle working out every day, even at a high level. 
• Should we be getting sore? I don't typically get sore from workouts any more. The idea that you must get sore to make progress is a lie. 
• People develop a standard definition of who they are and all the things they are or are not but it must be challenged. People stop growing and freeze in time but time is moving forward. 
• Make every day a masterpiece squeeze the most out of each day. 
• Give yourself and others the grace of extended time… grace period. Give people longer to get things done. This is a form of grace.
