Putting my Lamp in the Window

0 comments
There is a token that the bride-in-waiting in Jewish marriage custom does to show the world that she has been wedded to the Bridegroom, and waiting His return. This is simply putting a lamp in the window of her house, until He comes for her - the lamp never goes out.

I am wanting to make a public declaration. To any and all who are being pursued by God's jealous affections, set apart yourself to Him. It is better to do this now, rather than later. Put your life on hold for this, He will not relent. I want to tell the world, I'm waiting for my Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, the Son of God. If you do not believe me, then watch me. The world needs to know that I, Nathan Sinclair, am already married, more than this, I am married. My thoughts, desires and affections both this day and forever will be tied with that day when He comes for me!

This really is so much more than I can put down on paper. To make this clear, If you do not encounter the truth, that I am already married, you have yet to experience what I hold dearest on the inside. There is so much the world is doing wrong, this is the biggest thing, that they do not believe there is such a thing as being so tied up in marriage that it strikes them - maybe even wrecks them. Can you imagine what I am trying to describe here? You can think about marriage but I am 100% convinced and in reality the one whom Jesus loves

Putting your house in order

0 comments
This season, which started on August 29, and ends on the 7th of October, is part of the Jewish Calendar, called "The Season of Teshuvah" a fourty day period which culminates in Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Succat. It is a house preparation season, putting things in order for God - coming into a time of repentance, turning from sins, to the true God. Here are a few scriptures mentioning Houses in the Bible.

Joshua 24:15 "And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

Matthew 12:44,45 "Then he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when he comes, he finds [it] empty, swept, and put in order." (continues on)

Haggai 1:9 "[You] looked for much, but indeed [it came to] little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?" says the LORD of hosts. "Because of My house that [is in] ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house.
