Are you ready for Passover? Here’s some help.

Passover is coming soon. Now is the time to prepare to meet Yeshua at Passover. Here are some points to consider that will help get you ready for Passover.

  • As the children of Israel applied the lamb’s blood to the door posts and lintels of their house, so we must apply the sin-cleansing and Satan-defeating blood of Yeshua afresh to our lives (i.e., to your thoughts as represented by the door lintel and actions and to our hands as represented by the door posts).

  • In ancient Israel, YHVH judged all those who weren’t under the blood of the lamb. Unrepented sin has a death claim on us all. To the degree that one has sin in their life is the degree that the spirit of death as a hold on one’s life. Now is the time to repent of sin by confessing it and seeking Elohim’s forgiveness under the blood of Yeshua.
  • Pass on to the next generation by telling your children the Passover story. Explain how the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt (the world) to Pharaoh (Satan), and how YHVH delivered them from the judgment of the destroyer (YHVH’s judgment against sin) because they put the blood of the lamb on their doorposts (a picture of Yeshua’s sin-atoning death on the cross).
  • Prepare your heart and mind to obey YHVH by keeping his appointed times of Passover and Unleavened Bread. Are we going to obey his commands pertaining to these observances? How much do we love him (John 14:15)? How much do we want to know him (1 John 2:6–7)? Celebrating these feasts help us to love and to know him better.
  • At this time of the year, we must each examine ourselves to insure that we will not be partaking of the cup of redemption (or the communion cup) unworthily (1 Cor 11:28).
  • It is time to rediscover the cross of Yeshua again and your place at its foot. It is also time to rediscover the power of the resurrected Yeshua. Marvel at the miracle of the resurrection and consider the fact that we have access to Yeshua’s resurrected life through faith in him and through the work of his Holy Spirit as we obey the Word of Elohim.
  • Passover occurs in the spring at the beginning of the biblical year. This is a time of new beginnings spiritually. It’s time to take stock of one’s life, assess any weaknesses and deficiencies we have and then resolve to make the necessary changes and then to make improvements through the power of YHVH’s grace, his Word, his Spirit all through a vibrant, daily relationship with Yeshua our Lord and Savior.
  • Passover is time of spring cleaning and deleavening our physical and spiritual houses. Root out and eradicate the old sin habits from the crevices and dark areas of your life. In Scripture, leavening represents sin, pride, hypocrisy and false doctrine. It’s time to forsake all these things that drag us down spiritually and away from our Father in heaven. It’s time to move onward and upward spiritually!
  • Do the sinful practices, evil habits and illicit delicacies of Egypt still hold sway on you? It is time to take control over these, eliminate them and become wholly consecrated unto YHVH-Yeshua, his Word, his plans and purposes. It is time to seek first his kingdom and his righteousness (Matt 6:33). You can’t serve two masters at the same time (i.e., the world and the flesh and Yeshua) and expect to be pleasing to YHVH (Matt 6:24).
  • It is time to renew one’s first love for Yeshua our Heavenly Bridegroom. Now is the time to rekindle one’s passion and zeal for Yeshua and to repent of spiritual lukewarmness (Rev 3:15–21).
