Robert Heidler wrote the following for Day 12.

     Starting last night, we entered into Yom Kippur. This is just awesome. Look up to the Lord and ask Him to reveal any course corrections for you in the Earth. Keep connecting Heaven and Earth. Here is “The Importance of Course Correction!”. ReadJeremiah 29:11

It's easy to get "a little" off course and not notice it.  One degree is tiny, just a 360'th of a circle.  If you're one degree off course, you'd probably think nothing of it.  But if you're flying across the Pacific Ocean, you'll miss your destination by 200 miles, and that could be a disaster.That's how our lives are.  It's easy to get "one degree" off course.  Your fellowship with God is not lost overnight.  Your marriage or business will not fail overnight.  But if you stay one degree off-course you'll end up in a mess! 

     What's the solution? The solution is to make course corrections!  We need to stop from time to time and examine our course.  A small correction now can get us back on course and avoid disaster.  But God! He built a yearly "course correction" into the biblical calendar.  Once a year He set a time to examine your life, see where you're off course, and get back on track.  God loves you so much He doesn't want you to fail.  He wants you to stay on track and arrive at the fullness of your destiny. 

     That's where we are right now in God's calendar.  This week we've been in the "Days of Awe" ...a time to seek God and let Him reveal any ways your life is off course.  Then on the Day of Atonement, (Friday night and Saturday through sundown) it's time to get with God and make your course corrections.  If He's shown you any sins, confess them and receive forgiveness.  If the fire has burned low, allow the Holy Spirit to re-ignite your life. So don't miss your appointment with God this week.  Be fully restored to Him and let Him direct the path to your future!  In Isa 44:22 God promises, "I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you."

(From Israel!)

     This Friday evening (October 7th) at sundown began Yom Kippur—the Day of Atonement.  At that time, the entire public Jewish sector of Israel essentially closes down.  Leviticus 23:26-32 solemnly commands the Hebrew people to deny themselves and to abstain from work on this day, with dire consequences if they don’t.  Except for the occasional Arab driver or an emergency vehicle, the streets will be free of traffic; in fact, later in the evening and on Saturday morning many streets will be filled with strolling couples and children on bicycles and skateboards.  Millions of Jews will humble themselves by fasting for 25 hours from both food and water. Kippur or kippurim may be translated ‘ransom by means of a substitute’…also included within the meaning is ‘that which covers’.  On this day in Biblical times a goat was slain as a sin offering, its blood  taken by the High Priest into the veil of the Holy of Holies and sprinkled on and before the Mercy Seat (Hebrew: kaporet);  a second goat, with the sins of the nation confessed over it, was led far into the Judean desert and released.  It was considered ‘damned’ (today in Israel a common curse expletive is the Hebrew for “scapegoat”)…“Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”  Yet with the destruction of the Second Temple, blood sacrifice in Judaism came to an end.  On Yom Kippur all religious Jews and many non-religious will spend the day in the Synagogues, confessing their sins and seeking forgiveness and a “Good Signature” in the Book of Life for the coming year. Yet something is missing. A question which Rabbinic Judaism has never been able satisfactorily to answer is, “But, where is the blood?” … Each year during the days immediately preceding Yom Kippur an area in Jerusalem’s large open-air market may be found reserved for stacks and stacks of coops bearing live chickens. Here one may pay an ultra-Orthodox man to be allowed to swing a chicken over one’s head while reciting the following,  

     “This is my substitute, this is my commutation; this chicken goes to death; but may I be gathered and enter into a long and happy life and into shalom.” The bird is then slain and its body given to the poor for food.  We do not hold in contempt those who blindly seek cleansing through this practice; yet this, no more than in ancient times, “can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near.”  

     Stop! Ask the Lord to correct your course. Ask forgiveness and receive grace. Allow His blood to cleanse your conscience. Be free to enter the season ahead on a corrected path! Let me suggest you read the book, Redeeming the Time! That is Yom Kippur!

 Prophecy from Keith …

     “Truly today is a day that Holy Spirit is entering this place in a surprise manner.  Today is a day that the wind is blowing in a new way. Today is a day that I have come forth to bring unity in this Body, and there will be a new level of unity that breaks the stronghold of the enemy.  Yes, there are pills and yes there are bills, but my God is a god that brings forth a release.  And today is the day as unity arises release occurs.  Yes, you will see your pots filled, see your vats overflow, and you will see your storehouse be made full.  But when My people come together as one I will cast down the uncircumcised philistine, and I will birth a new order for a new day.  So release the wind and you will see a change in the Garden.” 

Last night Kalli Forest had a game, and the school was struck by lightning and all the alarms went off.  They took all the men and put us in the men’s locker room and the women in the women’s locker room since there was a tornado warning.  Remember the word that was released at Head of the Year about lightning strikes and the day of containment.
