🌾. April 8th This year, the biblical new year

🌾. April 8th

This year, the biblical new year begins on April 8, 2024. This is the start of the month of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar 🌑🌒. “Rosh Chodesh Nisan began on Monday, 8 April 2024 and ended on Tuesday, 9 April 2024.” (Hebcal.com)

Nisan in Hebrew means miracle; first fruits; first month of spring.

In the Bible, in Ezra 7:8-10, we see Ezra leaving Babylon for Jerusalem on April 8, the first day of the new year. This is noteworthy because in 2024 the first day of the new year also falls on April 8th (the new moon closest to the Spring equinox).

This correspondence tracks with the poignant seasons we’re in. Compelling seasons of spiritual and religious embracing, motivation, and momentum. And with the momentum of the continual yet intensifying change of seasons, we confidently build on these God centered cycles of experiences which are moving us toward Him.

In this new year, think about the relationships to people, places, and things in your life that are in need of resolution. The areas in your life that are in need of a firm decision for something to be done because it is bound to symbols, structures, or systems archetypically representing Babylon, where Babylon is a place representing the things that are the enemies of God. From here, April 8th, be clear and determined in your path and plan of action, and trusting in your motivation.

When my mother introduced me to Dr. Stanley’s se

When my mother introduced me to Dr. Stanley’s sermons over 20 years ago I never stopped listening. His delivery of the Word of God to my soul was too impactful to deny. Charles Stanley has such a special gift from God for teaching and exhortation in the most sincere way with a gentle spirit and boldness. I have always admired the humility in which his sermons shined through with messages that always resonated powerfully straight to the heart. He has been a keen servant and faithful steward handling the word of truth. He has expounded on critical and simple life lessons in my walk as a believer that I carry to this day.

May we all be an inspiration in such a way with meekness and humbleness of heart, and with honor, power, steadfastness, and bravery that comes from the unending love of God.

Dr. Charles F. Stanley (September 25, 1932 - April 18, 2023)

🌾. “For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross. This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.” Colossians‬ ‭1:19-22‬

🌾. “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.” 1 John‬ 2‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ESV‬‬
