As we covered last week, the Book of Hebrews calls God's throne the Throne of Grace. The grace we receive is the exact help we need at the exact time you need it. At the Throne of Grace, what should you ask for? We need to develop our prayer life and become precise with our prayer requests.

1. Seed
2. Open Doors

The Lord is our sun and shield. What is one of the things the sun does? It gives light. God gives us light. Many of manifestations of the Glory of God are associated with light. We need the light of God in our lives.

The Ephesians 1 Prayer

Father,
I pray that you, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you. I pray that the eyes of my understanding are enlightened; that I may know what is the hope of your calling, and what are the riches of the glory of you inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of your power to us who believe, according to the working of your mighty power, which you wrought in Christ, when you raised Him from the dead, and set Him at your own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. You have put all things under His feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of him that fills all in all. Father, I thank you that when you seated Jesus at your right hand you have also seated me. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

God sets appointed times, He gives fixed times, God has moeds.

feasts - moeds

David Baron - This chapter may well be styled the Sacred Calendar of the History of Redemption for not only are each of the appointed seasons of meeting between the Lord and His people, considered seperately, full of emblematic and spiritual teaching, but taken together they form a series of striking symbolic prophecies, some fulfilled, some yet to be fulfilled and thus foretell as well as set forth the Great Plan of Redemption. There feasts (moeds) are not of man's origination, but appointed and ordered by His who is infiinte knowledge, and who knows the end from the beginning. - These are all predictions of those things they typified. Their fulfillment is equally certain. The very order in which stand in the sacred calendar is significant as setting forth the order of sequence in which the various stages of God's great redemption scheme were to unfold themselves in the courses of the ages.

7 Feasts, the 7 Moeds

These moeds were connected to harvests. Each moed has a historical event, a harvest, and a fulfillment.

Passover begins and sets and motion the following moeds and events

Passover - fulfillment - Jesus crucified and offered as our substitute

Feast of Unleavened Bread - 1Cor. 5:6 … Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
1Cor. 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as
ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
1Cor. 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast (of unleavened bread), not with old
leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the
unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.


“Cause and effect…if the paschal lamb sets forth Christ our Passover slain in order to
bring us pardon, peace, and new life, the feast of unleavened bread was designed to
prefigure the holiness of the new life, and the fellowship with God which must
characterize the redeemed.
