A Matter of Days*
Each day of our lives has a purpose, and the choices we make today will impact the rest of our lives. Yesterday has passed, and tomorrow is not guaranteed to us, so what we accomplish is contained within today. A day can take us either further into the Kingdom of God, or can be used by the devil to take us further away from the Kingdom. God has put a great importance into the measure of a day: "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years." (Gen. 1:14). The Hebrew word for "day" used in this verse is yom, which means "day, time, year, division of time, life time, time period". The Hebrew people also use it to refer to sesons, times, and perpetual time. The Greek word for "day" used in the New Testament is Hemera, which means "day, time in general, day of life, period of time, age, years". David wrote in music form about the importance of a day in our lives: "I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me...while I was musing, the fire (in my heart) burned: then spake I with my tongue, LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. Behold, thou hast made my days as a handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah." (Ps. 39:1-5). David wrote that part of the vanity, or emptiness, in which men spend the short number of days given to them is in the heaping up of riches. However, David fills his days with the substance of the Lord instead: "And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee." (v. 7). The Apostle James also wrote about how easily vanity, or emptiness, enters into our days. He said that we assume that we will have many days ahead of us, and we waste them by planning ahead how we will fill each day with activities and travels in order to get gain. He said that we should instead surrender our own planned days to the Lord's will for those days of our lives (James 4:12-16). Our plans for the day will not stay the hand or timing of God. He is the lawgiver, and He has set the days. He is the One who is able to save or destroy. David understood that each of our beginnings was not our own to determine: "...thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth...and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them." (Ps. 139:13-16). Abortion is the exact opposite of this truth revealed by David. Abortion did not begin as a tool of freedom, but out of the racist eugenics of Margaret Sanger. Her agenda was to rid society of "mongrel" races and "undesirables". It was even stressed that the efforts begin in black communities, preferably recruiting black pastors and community leaders, in order to gain cooperation among the people there. However, the days of a person's life, even before he is born, is determined by God. Every part of us was written in His book before we were even formed. The Prophet Amos wrote the Word of the LORD saying "...it is an evil time", and telling His people to "Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live...Hate evil and love the good, and establish judgment (justice) in the gate: it may be that the LORD of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph." (Amos 5:13-15). He said that it would be a time of mourning and wailing: "Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light...even very dark and no brightness in it." (v. 18-20). The LORD said He despised how His people made their offerings, and kept His feasts, which they turned into tabernacles of Moloch and Chiun, images and idols representing the most abominable practices, including the burning of their children (v. 22-26). The LORD commanded, "...let judgment (justice) run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream." (v. 24). The day of the LORD is set, and our days should be conducted as those who love good, justice, and righteousness, having no part in the evil of the day. We are not to live taking for granted that we will automatically escape that day, as some in the Church believe. We are to pray, Jesus said, to be accounted worthy to escape, and to stand before the Son of man (Lk. 21:36). The LORD promised in His Word to Amos, "In that day, will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old." (Amos 9:11). In another prophecy to Zechariah, the LORD spoke about the day He has assigned to deal with those who were going to besiege Judah and Jerusalem: "And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered against it...In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem..." (Zech. 12:2-8). It won't matter that all the world has come against Jerusalem, On that day, the LORD will defeat them, and defend Jerusalem. Not only that, but the LORD will pour out a spirit of grace and supplication upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and "...they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one who is in bitterness for his firstborn." (Zech. 12:10). That day will be a day when eyes are opened to see their Messiah, Jesus. In addition, "In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness." (Zech. 13:1). The day is set and established in the LORD. The Prophet Hosea wrote: "Come and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days, will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight." (Hos. 6:1-2). Return to the LORD, because He has already set the days. All of the significant events of my life can be pinpointed to specific days. Those days also presented choices to me, and determined how my life would be turned as a result. It is the same for each of us. Each day of a life has a significant purpose assigned for us by the LORD. All else is vanity. *Based on Dr. Kenneth E. Stevenson's 3/20/2022 message to the church.

A Lamp to My Feet-A Light to My Path*
(Listen-Song)
Last week, we discussed returning to the foundational purpose of the Church in general, and Everlasting Covenant, specifically. The attempts in these end times to keep the Word of God from the people, has impacted the discovery of personal purpose as well. If you want to know your purpose, it can be found in the Word of God. You must find in the Word the destiny that was specifically created in you. His Word lights the path of our personal purpose. Personal destiny, or purpose, is a creative work of God, and He creates nothing without speaking His Word first. Your birth was not an accident of chance, but it was purposefully brought forth in the creative work and will of God by His word:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men...And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." Jn. 1:1-4, 14
In Genesis, everything created was created by the Word of God. That Word of God is also a Person. As Rev. 19:13 describes the return of Christ, the Word who became flesh is revealed again:
"And he was clothed in a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God."
As the Word, and of the Word, Jesus was incorporated with His personal purpose:
"...his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds...upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;" Heb. 1:3
As with Christ, this same Word of God which created each of us, is imbued with the purpose in which we were designed. The Word speaks, and it is done.
Peter also wrote of how the Word shaped creation. Speaking of scoffers, even as if he were describing those today who deny God's hand in creation, he said:

As with Christ, this same Word of God which created each of us, is imbued with the purpose in which we were designed. The Word speaks, and it is done.
Peter also wrote of how the Word shaped creation. Speaking of scoffers, even as if he were describing those today who deny God's hand in creation, he said:
"For this they are willingly ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water." 2 Pet. 3:5
Paul said in Hebrews:
"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed (rendered, repaired, completed, perfected, put in order, make one what he ought to be. Root meaning: having "special aptitude in given uses") by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." Heb. 11:3
Everything we see was made of what cannot be seen. The framing of the physical creation, which includes each person, also included a perfected and completed purpose, according to the very meaning of the word.
The Word of God that created all things is living itself, powerful, and discerning of every individual. It permeates our very deepest physical and spiritual being:
"For the word of God is quick (among the living, alive, breathing (Ps. 33:6), active), and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do." Heb. 4:12-13
Psalm 119, all of which extols the greatness of God's Word, tells us that this same Word with which all things were created, is designed to play a personal role in each life:
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." v. 105
Do you or your path need to change? The Word of God opens the door to change us individually as it enters us. It renews our minds and transforms us because it is living (Rom. 12:1-2):
"The entrance (unfolding, doorway, declaration) of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple." v.130
The Word is monumental in scope regarding creation. It is so great, that the LORD has magnified His word even above His name (Ps. 138:1-2). Yet it is also personal and intimate in effectiveness down to the smallest particle of our being. So important is it that the LORD keeps watch over His Word, including the Word regarding our purpose, in order to perform it (Jer. 1:12). The LORD compared His Word to the rain and snow that falls from heaven in order to accomplish a purpose: to water the earth, and produce a resulting seed and crop. The Word is sent with a purpose to accomplish:
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
Isa. 55:11
If you are searching for your personal purpose, and searching for the right path of life to travel, the Word of God has been prepared to light your way.

Restoring the Foundational Purpose*
This message, while being directed specifically to Everlasting Covenant, also pertains to all of the Church. The Church in general, has been pulled away from the foundation and purpose to which we have been called. We need to look back to the beginning, and restore those things that we were purposed to do. Vince Lombardi, coach of the Green Bay Packers, decided to begin the 1961 spring training for his team by teaching them "the hidden power of mastering the fundamentals". That year, his team won the championship, and several more after that. The Church needs to rediscover the hidden power of mastering the fundamentals as well.
For Everlasting Covenant, our foundational scripture from the beginning has been:
"For I am not ashamed in the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation for every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." Rom. 1:16
The verse that follows says, "For therein (the gospel) is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."
Scripture asks the question, "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (Ps. 11:3). We need to restore the foundations of the Church built upon Christ and His commands. Christ gave this "great commission" to His disciples:
"All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world ("aion"-period of time, age)." Amen." Mt. 28:18-20
From the beginning, the purpose of the devil has been to destroy the Godly foundations, and man's relationship with God by substituting the truth of God's word for the lie, "Hath God said...?" Jesus spoke of those workers who were faithful to His commands:
"Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season ? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath." Mt. 24:45-46, Lk. 12:41-44
In order to carry out these commands that Jesus gave to us, His servants, including giving meat in due season which is His Word, His Body must be functioning properly. That means every part of the Body must be in its proper place, and supplying what is needed to edify the whole Body:
"...by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body...for the body is not one member, but many....But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him." 1 Cor. 12 (excerpt)
In the above chapter of 1 Corinthians, Paul was teaching that like a physical body has various contributing parts, so has the spiritual Body of Christ. The different parts, like the foot, the eye, the ear, are distinct and individual in their purpose, yet they are necessary to make the whole body function properly. Paul mentions just a few of the functioning parts of Christ's Body: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues (v. 28). Not only do these functioning parts working together carry out the commission of Christ, but they edify the Body itself. This includes keeping the Body from being derailed into false doctrines and by deceiving men, while bringing forth the unity of faith, the perfect man, and the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Eph. 4:13-14). Of this fully functioning Body, where all parts are in place and contributing, Paul says:
"...speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love." Eph. 4:15-16
According to the verses above, "love" is not manifested by speaking lies and false assurances according to the whims and fads of men, but it is manifested in the speaking of truth, and truth is determined and embodied in the Word of God.
The Body of Christ is not fitted together as we, man, deem to be good, with every member deciding his or her own place, or whether each part will determine for himself whether to be part of the Body or not, but the parts of the Body are assigned and determined by the Holy Spirit and under the headship of Christ.
Paul identifies his own part in the Body as an apostle "separated unto the gospel of God". This same gospel was promised by the prophets, and was made into flesh through Jesus Christ, the promised seed of David. This same Jesus was declared to be the Son of God through the demonstration of power by the Holy Spirit by the resurrection from the dead (Rom. 1:1-4). This is the gospel, this is the power of God unto righteousness. This is the commission with which are to go into all nations and make disciples.
We will be able to accomplish the commands of Christ only as the Church restores the foundations upon which we have been built, fitly joined together, edifying and supplying, even as we maintain the truth against the winds of doctrine that have been released by Satan, who is challenging the Church in these last days asking, "Hath God said...?"
For Everlasting Covenant in this time, our commission includes bringing the book, "NAZAH", which testifies to the truth of Christ and His suffering, death, burial, and resurrection illustrated prophetically in Isaiah 52-53 and other prophetic scriptures, to the Jew first, and also the Greek.

Pentecost: Unity With A Purpose
On the day of Pentecost, in Acts 2:16-21, the disciples were in one place, in one accord, when the Holy Spirit was poured out in tongues of fire upon each one. As those who were in Jerusalem at the tomb of David, including foreign visitors, witnessed this remarkable sight, they were unsure of what they were seeing. Peter began to tell them that this was the fulfillment of the prophecy of Joel. A portion of this prophetic passage reads:
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh...
before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD."
Peter goes on to urge the crowd of onlookers to "repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, ... and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
This remarkable outpouring of the Holy Spirit is directly connected with the "last days", and the terrible day of the LORD, according to the verse above. If we look at the Book of Joel, we will find additional prophetic insight into these events, and our purpose regarding them:
"Consecrate a fast, call a sacred assembly; gather the elders, and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD." Joel 1:14
"Consecrate a fast, call a sacred assembly; gather the elders, and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD." Joel 1:14
"Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the LORD is coming, for it is at hand;"
"Now therefore," says the LORD, "Turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning. So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the LORD your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm." Joel 2:1-2, 12-13
This is Joel's prophetic warning and instruction to God's own people, Jew and Gentile, from every station, circumstance, age, and walk of life (Joel 2:15-16).
This is Joel's prophetic warning and instruction to God's own people, Jew and Gentile, from every station, circumstance, age, and walk of life (Joel 2:15-16).
"Let the priests, who minister to the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar; let them say, "Spare Your people, O LORD,....Why should they say among the peoples, "Where is their God?"
"Then the LORD will be zealous for His land, and pity His people."
"...For in Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said, among the remnant whom the LORD calls." Joel 2:17-18, 32b
It is in this same chapter that we see the awesome prophecy of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. There is a purpose to this outpouring, as there is a purpose to the Book of Joel. It is the call to a united intercession and repentance of God's people as the last days, and the day of the LORD, approaches.
The prophet talks about a harvest that is ripe, and wickedness that is great. (Joel 3:13).
The outpouring of Pentecost is not to be consumed on our own flesh, or for our own purposes. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is a last days event for last days people who will see and understand that the day of the LORD is approaching. This outpouring is associated with the harvest of souls and lives, as Pentecost is associated with the harvest of grain. This outpouring is for the united purpose of God's people, from all walks of life, to begin to cry out to Him, purely and effectively, for His great move of salvation and deliverance, and for His pity upon His people.
"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision." Joel 3:14
"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision." Joel 3:14
The word "multitudes" used here does not just mean many people in the Hebrew. It refers more to a tumult of sound and confusion, cries of mourning and rage, clamorous and troubled, to be in an uproar. The "valley" is a place of profound depth, to be unsearchable because of the depth. "Decision" is a disturbing word that means sharp, pointed, to cut, to maim, to wound, a threshing sled (used for crushing and separating grain) having sharp teeth.
This will be the terrible place and situation for many on the awesome day of the LORD.
We, who have received the Holy Spirit, and are praying for an even greater outpouring of the Spirit, must use this precious gift for the purpose of interceding with the LORD, as we see the day approach. Will the terrible shouts and cries of the multitudes in the valley on that day ring in our ears, because we did not bother to weep between the porch and the altar?
The Prophet Joel is not just celebrating a miraculous anointing of the Holy Spirit. He is calling ALL of God's people to come into the house of the LORD in the united, divine, prophetic purpose of intercession and repentance, because the last days are here, the harvest is ripe, and the awesome day of the LORD is at hand.
"Shofar Alarm Blast"
