Day Of Atonment-7 Blessings Current mood: Blessed With The Word Category: Religion and Philosophy Did you know that SEVEN LIFE CHANGING BLESSINGS are promised to you? It all begins with the Day of Atonement. By honoring God on His holiest day - October 2nd - the Day of Atonement, you can release God's promised covenant of reconciliation and unleash these seven blessings into your life: The high priest was instructed to approach the mercy seat, entering into God's very presence on the Day of Atonement and offer a blood sacrifice for the sins of the people. In return, God promised a covenant of reconciliation and seven blessings that would cover the people for the next year: 1. A DOUBLE PORTION – "For he has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you — the former rain and the latter rain in the first month" (Joel 2:23). The Word tells us that from March to October, God pours out His blessings moderately, the former rain. But then in God's "first month," October, God begins sending the former and the latter rain, a double portion. 2. FINANCIAL PROMISES – "The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil" (Joel 2:24). Joel was writing to an agricultural society, so he wrote in terms they were familiar with. But the promise of success is still a sure thing today. 3. RESTORATION – "So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten" (Joel 2:25). God promised that He will give back whatever the devil has taken away from you, whether it be your good health, or family or something else. 4. SPECIAL MIRACLES – "You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God Who has dealt wondrously with you" (Joel 2:26). God promises to do things for you that your eyes have never before seen, things that you cannot even imagine or know anything about. 5. A DIVINE PRESENCE – "Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel; I am the Lord your God and there is no other, My people shall never be put to shame" (Joel 2:27). This promise means that everywhere you go, His presence goes with you to lead, protect, provide, admonish, teach and more. 6. BLESSINGS FOR YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS – "And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy . . ." (Joel 2:28). It's time for the demonic powers that have encroached on our families to move over. God's promises are conditional upon our observing His holy days. No matter how far they have fallen, His hand of mercy can reach them. 7. DELIVERANCE TO WHOEVER CALLS ON HIS NAME – "And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved . . ." (Joel 2:32). God's only a call away! He promises to be there when you need Him. Seven incredible blessings! The problem is that few people see these promises manifested in their lives because very few people honor God's holiest day, the Day of Atonement. Now I only have one question now that you know what will you do, and if you knew what did you plan on doing? God Bless...
