Either way, Christ’s love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life. He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 NLT

THE BLOOD MOON CYCLE

According to God’s calendar we are to watch for signs in the sky as well to know where we are in history in accordance to Jesus’ Second Coming. It is best to follow the Jewish Lunar calendar than the standard calendar that we use in America today in order to understand the times.

The blood moons are caused by lunar eclipses of the moon which result in the moon appearing blood red. During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth lies directly between the sun and the moon, causing the Earth to cast its shadow on the moon. The moon appears red during a total lunar eclipse because of sunlight that is filtered and refracted by Earth’s atmosphere. Four occurring in a row are called tetrads.

We have passed 8 Blood Moon Cycles and we just had one this morning, April 4, 2015 that lasted 4 minutes 43 seconds. We have one more on September 28, 2015 and there will not be another Blood Moon Cycle for another 400 years. We will still have eclipses but none that are red.

Joel 2:30-31 – And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.

Blood and fire and pillars of smoke mean volcanic eruptions. The first blood moon was April 15, 2014 and a volcano erupted that day and more erupted for months all over the earth. The Blood moons and volcanoes go together and are a sign of the end.

Acts 2:20 - The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.

The Last 3 Recent Blood Moon Cycles (Change & Revival Takes Place During These Cycles)
1. 1949 – 1950 – After Israel was restored as a nation (great healing revival with men under 30 years of age)
2. 1967 – 1698 – After Jerusalem became capital of Israel (Charismatic Renewal, June 1967)
3. 2014 – 2015 – (? Outpouring of God’s Spirit on sons and daughters. Youth want the move of the Holy Spirit)

Acts 2:28-29 – Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on servants—men and women alike.

The Blood Moons are not something to fear but to acknowledge because God is using the moon as a sign and He has already prepared us for what is to come. The word is alive and true. He gave us everything in the Bible that we need to survive this life in the Bible. My teacher explained that God kicked Adam and Eve out of the Garden not to punish them but so that they would not remember what took place there. How many of us play back bad memories over and over again. Adam and Eve may have replayed their memories if they had been allowed to stay in the Garden. God’s love, grace, and mercy was provided them in that moment and He is doing the same for us in these moments we are living in these last days.

GOOD FRIDAY – Today is the beginning of Passover and the day Jesus was crucified for the sins of the world. Good Friday is good because of Romans 5:8 and 1 Peter 3:18.

“ But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit.”

Today let us think about and reflect on the goodness of God and what He has done for us by showing us this great love and sacrifice unto death. What a love Jesus Christ has shown to us…let us also reflect on this great love.

We know about Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Resurrection Sunday but I was curious as to what Jesus did during His entire final week. Please check out this link that refers to the Passion Week Time Line if you would like to know what Jesus did as well.

PALM SUNDAY – Today we remember Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 21:1-11). Jesus’ purpose in riding into Jerusalem was to make public His claim to be their Messiah and King of Israel in fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy (Zechariah 9:9). Jesus was openly declaring to the people that He was their King and the Messiah they had been waiting for.

“Jesus Christ comes not to conquer by force as earthly kings, but by love, grace, mercy, and His own sacrifice for His people. His is not a kingdom of armies and splendor, but of lowliness and servanthood. He conquers not nations, but hearts and minds. His message is one of peace with God, not of temporal peace. If Jesus has made a triumphal entry into our hearts, He reigns there in peace and love. As His followers, we exhibit those same qualities, and the world sees the true King living and reigning in triumph in us.” – gotquestions

March 29th Jesus rides a donkey c**t into the city of Jerusalem. The ancient world was dealing with the exact same issues that we see in America today…greed (covetousness [wrongly desiring wealth or possessions]), ambition, and the pride of life [anything that leads to arrogance, ostentation, pride in self, presumption, and boasting; a love of the world]).

”We must not think the clothes on our backs too dear to part with for the service of Christ. Those that take Christ for their King, must lay their all under his feet. Hosanna signifies, Save now, we beseech thee! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord! Multitudes often seem to approve the gospel, but few become consistent disciples. So various are the motions in the minds of men upon the approach of Christ's kingdom.” – Matthew Henry’s Commentary

How did Palm Sunday get its name?

The people were waving palms and shouting Hosanna (Salvation is Here) as Jesus entered Jerusalem.

I can imagine Jesus not yet in His glory but I see Him with His head held high as He rode into Jerusalem knowing that His perfect love was about to cover ALL of our sins…ALL of humanity!!! Through His act of obedience unto death Jesus overcame the world. What a message of grace, mercy, and love!!!

Starting today we remember Jesus’ final week on earth as a man living in a fleshly body. I’ve been thinking a lot about his last week on earth and wanted to share some information regarding our Savior. I will post information regarding Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Resurrection Sunday, and the Four Blood Moon Cycle. As I understand, the days of the week that Jesus lived his final week on this earth line up exactly to the days of the week this year 2015.

These are glorious times to live in and Jesus wants us to always have continued hope in Him and His Second Coming to redeem those who love Him and have patiently waited for Him.
Take a look at Luke 21. I will post verse 28 with this message: “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

Our eyes and focus are always to be on Jesus…not what is going on around us in the world. The world is going to do what it was created to do…it has to in order for the scriptures to be fulfilled.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

It's as simple as 1 2 3...keep our eyes on Jesus and He will continue to have mercy on us.

Psalm 123

Unto You I lift up my eyes,
O You who dwell in the heavens.
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters,
As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He has mercy on us.

Please listen and meditate on the message of this psalm. God is sooo good and He is the ONLY good good FATHER!!!
