FESTIVAL OF UNLEAVENED BREAD
A Memorial Festival to יהושׁה (Yahushuah)
PASSOVER: One day, beginning the eve of April 7 and goes to eve of April 8, 2009.
FESTIVAL OF UNLEAVENED BREAD: Seven days, beginning the eve of April 8 and continuing until the evening of April 15, 2009.
Observance of Passover: Following the instructions to set apart the day and bring to remembrance all that YAH has done concerning His people.
Preparation: Prepare your hearts to follow the way of Messiah Yahushuah and dedicate your life to live sin-free. Repent from all of your sins.
Setting Apart the Passover: This is a holy/set-apart day. Therefore, refrain from work. Prepare a special meal. Read the prayers from the Passover booklet and read The Scriptures. Light 2 candles. After the meal at evening, take of the Commemoration—the bread and the wine in remembrance of Yahushuah. Family of Messiah will provide the anointed unleavened bread for those who are far away, and you can purchase the wine and bless it in the Name of Yahushuah. Grape juice can be substituted if you so desire. Give praise and thanksgiving to YAH while following along in the Passover booklet (page 10).
Revelations from YAH:
Passover is the celebration of our life being spared from death. We must believe that Yahushuah is the true Passover Lamb; and that He was sent by YAH, was impaled, died for the sins of the world, and was resurrected on the third day. Your belief causes the blood of the lamb to be placed on your mind and heart (doorposts & lintel).
In the Exodus, the blood of the lamb was placed on the doorposts and lintel of their houses. Then, at midnight, YAHUAH smote all the first-born of Egypt, but passed over every place that had the blood on their door. The same concept of placing the blood is for today—the blood is spiritually placed upon us. If we believe, then we will obey. We must first prepare our hearts and minds by following instructions to cleanse ourselves and repent from all past sins.
When YAHUAH passed through Egypt, the people who made preparations lived! Today, when death comes, it will see the blood of Yahushuah upon you and pass over you, because Yahushuah has already died for your sins, and He died once and for all.
Because you believe and escaped death, now make a memorial unto Him to be sinless for 7 days, a festival unto Him. This memorial is the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The Passover is the first day of this memorial, and the 7 days afterward are days of commemorating His sinless life to save our sinful life. This is why we eat the unleavened bread—without leaven & without sin.
Remove everything that would cause you to sin!
In preparation for the Festival, cleanse your home of all carved images of any living thing from the sky above, earth beneath, and water under the earth. Remove all carved and molded images. Remove any statues that draw admiration to itself. You can get rid of them, or if you feel you cannot yet depart with them, you can box them up and put them away for the 7 days of the memorial. Remove all things that can cause you to sin: movies, books, magazines, objects, etc. This is the same as removing the chametz (leaven) from our cupboards.
As a memorial, we will break bread for 7 days in remembrance of the sinless life Yahushuah lived. This 7-day memorial reminds us that we should not sin. The Messiah had no leaven (sin) and He took our sins upon Himself.
We passed over from death to life; therefore, now that we are alive, we will eat unleavened bread for seven days because our Messiah died without sin.
** April 8, 2009 at evening or the morning of April 9th –--take the Bread of Messiah, as a memorial to Him. Take a small piece of matzah, break it and eat, for His body was broken for us. This is not the Commemoration of Passover—it is a 7-day memorial to the sinless life of Yahushuah. Take only the unleavened bread, not the wine.
*Read Yesh/Is. 53 and Matt. 26:26-28. Read Psalms/Tehillim 113-118 (maybe read a psalm a day or all everyday).
*Do this for six more days. This is the Festival of Unleavened Bread.
[Do not confuse this Matzah (unleavened bread) with all the other matzah you may want to eat during this period. The memorial matzah (explained above) is taken once a day. If you desire to eat unleavened bread throughout the festival for meals, you may purchase matzah from a grocery store.]
Give Elohim thanks for sending His only Son to suffer that we may be saved.
When we keep this memorial and make certain that we commemorate 7 days to the Messiah, I believe that He will keep us from sin the rest of the year. Praise YAH!
This set-apart season is 8 days long with the first 2 days and the last day being set-apart.
