Transcript
- 0:00You're a mom, you're a dad, you're a grandparent, you're a pastor, you're a CEO, you're a leader,
- 0:05you're a manager, whatever you are.
- 0:06You make a decision right then and you say, you know what, I've gone through all this
- 0:10training.
- 0:11I'm like Esther, I chose.
- 0:12Listen, I've been washed from that slavery.
- 0:14I've been empowered by the Holy Spirit.
- 0:16I was tested in the desert and I fear no evil for as Rod and Staff shall comfort me.
- 0:22I've made a decision to get rid of the anger and the fear and I've been prepared for a
- 0:27time such as this.
- 0:28And when they come with the temptation to be able to corrupt the temple like they did
- 0:32in the Hanukkah story, I raise up and I agree that in the Spirit we kill the garrison that's
- 0:38coming against us.
- 0:39We climb the mountain of the Lord, we go into the temple and we become a part of those heroes
- 0:45that say, Father God in the name of Yeshua, I'm going to cleanse this temple.
- 0:50We're taking down the statues of Zeus.
- 0:53We're cleansing it in the blood of Jesus.
- 0:54We're trusting the Lord for the miraculous oil that there was only one container for
- 1:00and trust it for eight nights of new beginnings.
- 1:02Father God that you will bring the anointing oil not only in the temple, but in me, the
- 1:07miraculous new beginning oil of the temple in Yeshua's name.
- 1:14Hi, so Rabbi, how's things going for you?
- 1:22Things going really good.
- 1:26Normally this time of year is slower and this year is not.
- 1:30It's very, very, very busy.
- 1:33I would say being in the month of Taomuz and entering into the month of Av that it feels
- 1:42in the Spirit like there's a global shift really of the whole world.
- 1:49That's how it feels to me.
- 1:50Just from a prophetic standpoint, there's just nothing I would say by the time we get
- 1:57into the fall feast and we get to the end that there's going to be some major dynamic
- 2:03governmental and physical changes in the earth.
- 2:08Yeah, so you bring up the fall feast and kind of off camera.
- 2:12It was one of the things that we were talking about as we're trying to get ready for this
- 2:16episode and what type of biblical significance and I always try to think, Rabbi, what's going
- 2:24to help someone in their faith journey right now, the moment that they watch or listen
- 2:28to the episode, where can we meet them on that journey line and try to enhance their
- 2:34walk?
- 2:35So, I know one big topic that as we go throughout the year, I think we can kind of get stuck
- 2:42in those appointed times of activation.
- 2:46We just got done with Shavuot.
- 2:47Now we're looking towards the fall feast.
- 2:50But you brought up a really good point.
- 2:51Let's talk about the Hebrew calendar and the appointed times and just from a whole throughout
- 2:57each biblical year, what are those appointed times?
- 3:01How can you observe them and dive into God's Word and really live by kind of like a timeliness
- 3:09factor?
- 3:10As we creep up and obviously understanding, I mean, Tammuz and like that Hebrew month,
- 3:18understanding what's to come from that month as you kind of gear up.
- 3:22I mean, like that was an episode that was highly watched and listened to.
- 3:27So walk us through, walk the viewer through the Hebrew month, starting with the first
- 3:34one, the first feast, just the calendar and talk to me like I pretty much know nothing
- 3:41about it in this because I know that's been really high feedback is that people have got
- 3:45that ground education and their faith just keeps building and building.
- 3:49Okay.
- 3:50So, let me set up this episode this way.
- 3:55This is real life.
- 3:56This happened two or three hours ago.
- 3:59So I get a call from Megan Marcellino, who's COO of the ministry, but she's also Christianized
- 4:09daughter and she's been raised in this for like 40 years.
- 4:13Okay.
- 4:14This is all she knows.
- 4:15She knows about, we live a lifestyle of the Hebrew calendar, her whole life.
- 4:23So it's not just like, let's say a regular family would have, let's say a Christian family
- 4:27would have Easter and Thanksgiving and Christmas that this is what you do.
- 4:35The Hebrew calendar in the Landry family and in the Marcellino family is this is how we
- 4:41live.
- 4:42Okay.
- 4:43So now I want to share just a little bit about the conversation.
- 4:46So she calls and we're talking about planning for Curt Landry ministries and some of the
- 4:54other things that we're involved in, House of David and just different things.
- 5:00And the first thing she says is we have to realize that while we're doing this, we're
- 5:05going through the dire straits, the three weeks, we're going through the ninth of all.
- 5:10And what happens is her brain and her planning is adjusting to the fact that this is a time
- 5:17of the year when real bad stuff happens.
- 5:20And it does every year.
- 5:22And in history, I can show you, if you go, you can go in and get blogs on where I've
- 5:26talked about the dire straits and teaching on the ninth of all, bad stuff happens.
- 5:31So what happens is like for us, like we don't book airfare and road trips during this, this
- 5:37period of time, we pretty much kind of hunker down.
- 5:40We don't have our staff and people moving out about and we've just learned this.
- 5:46Now you have to realize we've been doing this over 30 years and we know that it works.
- 5:50So if you look to answer your question is, is that, okay, what I'm sharing you with you
- 5:56is not out of a book.
- 5:58Okay.
- 5:59It is scriptural out of the Bible, but this is from 34 years of living this lifestyle.
- 6:06So I'm going to take you through a normal year.
- 6:08Let's go to the Gregorian calendar of January.
- 6:11You have January, you have the New Year's, you have New Year's resolutions or whatever
- 6:15people do.
- 6:16But then the first feast that you get into is the feast of Purim.
- 6:22So what is Purim?
- 6:24Purim is when Esther has to make a decision.
- 6:28Do I take the assignment on to save my people or do I not?
- 6:35Am I going to be a hero or am I going to be a victim?
- 6:41And so that's usually like around March and you can see that if you examine your life
- 6:48that you can kind of plan that in the first part of the Gregorian calendar, you're going
- 6:55to have a time where emotionally you're going to have to make a decision that's not selfish.
- 7:01And you're going to have to lay your life down and say, I'm going to embrace this opportunity
- 7:10to help and save others.
- 7:12That's what Esther said.
- 7:13Esther said, yes.
- 7:14Okay.
- 7:15So that's in March.
- 7:16Now the next thing that happens is you have Passover.
- 7:19What Passover is is a season.
- 7:23We're still in the fall and you're going to make a decision.
- 7:27I am going to purpose through the Seder and the Passover to be set free from slavery.
- 7:39So now I know people aren't really slaves right now, but the key is, is that you need
- 7:45to understand that we become enslaved to a lot of different things over the year.
- 7:53So what you do is you look past your past of the year.
- 7:57What has enslaved me?
- 7:59I'm enslaved by fear.
- 8:00I'm enslaved by debt.
- 8:01I'm enslaved in a bad relationship.
- 8:04Whatever it is, you make a decision at Passover that you are no longer going to be bound.
- 8:09And enslaved by whatever it is, the nine blessings of Exodus 15, and you're going to apply those
- 8:15and you're going to choose to be set free because this time of the year, you choose
- 8:21to not be a slave.
- 8:22You choose to be a son or a daughter.
- 8:24Now there's 50 days of counting down to the Omer, which is a time to reset your mind on,
- 8:30I will not be a slave.
- 8:32I will be a son.
- 8:34So you're going to go from slave and controlled, manipulated, and boundaries into being set
- 8:41free.
- 8:42You got 50 days.
- 8:44After that 50 days, you have the Feast of Chevalot.
- 8:46Chevalot is a time of empowerment.
- 8:50And so what happens is the Lord is going to empower either you and what you believe you're
- 8:57going to be, or he will not empower a slave.
- 9:00So if you choose in that 50 days to hang on to the slave mentality, then there's no empowerment
- 9:05in Chevalot.
- 9:07So what happens is, what is this 50 days?
- 9:09This is a time of promotion.
- 9:11This is a time where opportunities are harvest.
- 9:14So now that opportunities and things are harvest, now you're going into the summer.
- 9:19And as you come into the summertime, what happens is there's test.
- 9:24And that's where we are right now.
- 9:26This program's airing during the time of either just around the dire straits or just after
- 9:32and the ninth of ob.
- 9:34So what happens is there's always a testing that comes, Darrell.
- 9:38There's always a testing period.
- 9:40And the testing period will expose your angers and expose your fear.
- 9:45Because bad stuff happens.
- 9:47And what happens is you get angry.
- 9:49The scripture says, be angry.
- 9:51Isn't it amazing that you have actually biblical right to be angry?
- 9:57But it says, be angry and sin not.
- 9:59And it said, do not let that your anger go down, let the sun go down on your anger.
- 10:05So why is anger so important?
- 10:09This testing time in Tal Muz and Av is about a 60 day window where a lot of bad stuff happens.
- 10:15The key is you've accepted your assignment.
- 10:19You're free from the slavery.
- 10:20Now you've been empowered spiritually, like given a signet ring.
- 10:23And now the test comes.
- 10:25And the key is the anger is to show you where your fear is.
- 10:29Because under every anger outburst, there's a fear.
- 10:32If you get angry because someone didn't treat you right, maybe that's rejection.
- 10:36If you're angry because, you know, somebody stole something from you, maybe you have a
- 10:42spirit of poverty.
- 10:44Whatever it is, it doesn't make any difference.
- 10:46Whatever the anger comes from, if it's a rock and it says, I got outraged about this.
- 10:52If you'll flip it over and look on the other side, there's a deep rooted fear.
- 10:56So this summertime is a time to be angry, but sin not.
- 11:01How do you do that?
- 11:02What you do is you say, listen, I see that I'm angry about this.
- 11:06It keeps cycling, but I'm not taking it into this next year.
- 11:10I'm going to get delivered.
- 11:11I'm going to come out of agreement with it.
- 11:13I'm going to address and face my fear that causes the anger.
- 11:18And I'm going to remove it from my mindset in the way I think I'm going to become an
- 11:23overcomer.
- 11:24So to say, listen, I'm going to walk through the valley of the shadow of death, but I'm
- 11:29going to fear no evil.
- 11:31Once you pass those tests, then you're ready for the spiritual new year, which is Rosh Hashanah.
- 11:37The spiritual new year is an exciting time because, so I'm going to back in.
- 11:42Am I going to tell?
- 11:43No, no, no.
- 11:44Yeah.
- 11:45Okay.
- 11:46So what's happened is you look at from January into March, you accepted the excitement to
- 11:49be a hero.
- 11:50You lose your slave ship.
- 11:52You know, you're not, you know, citizenship as a slave.
- 11:57You become a son.
- 11:58You have 50 days of counting down of the Omer where you prepare yourself and your character
- 12:03and your values for power.
- 12:05The power comes, the power is tested.
- 12:08When the test comes, you respond to the anger and the fear and you remove it from your life
- 12:14because you don't really know what's there until you get pressurized.
- 12:19So you get pressurized in the summer.
- 12:21Now we're coming into the fall, the trumpet blast, and you're ready for a new year because
- 12:26of these steps.
- 12:28Then you have Rosh Hashanah.
- 12:30Then the next episode is the day of atonement.
- 12:34So you have, okay, I accept this new season.
- 12:38I'm ready.
- 12:39And I still realize I need the blood of Jesus, the blood of the lamb, which is Yom Kippur.
- 12:45This is a time where you come into a cleansing.
- 12:48Then the next feast is the feast of Sukkot.
- 12:51When you get into Sukkot, the thing about that is it's basically a wedding feast.
- 12:55What it is is you're saying, I'm going to marry my new identity as the bride of Christ
- 13:00in the power of all that I've been through.
- 13:03I've accepted the assignment.
- 13:04I'm not a slave.
- 13:06I've been empowered as a son and a daughter.
- 13:08I was tested in the summer of the desert summer of the dire straits, the ninth of Av, and
- 13:14all of that.
- 13:15And now I'm saying yes, but I'm taking a three-step program from Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, to
- 13:22Sukkot.
- 13:23I'm going to awaken.
- 13:25I'm going to atone.
- 13:26And I'm going to marry my new year.
- 13:29If you'll do that consciously, intentionally on purpose, then you're doing it like my family.
- 13:41We've been doing it for over 30 years.
- 13:43What happens is if you're doing it, you can watch the development happen.
- 13:48And like I said at the beginning of this, with your boss, Megan, and the COO, and really
- 13:57does the CEO job here.
- 13:59But immediately we're in the conversation.
- 14:02We need to do this and this.
- 14:03And she immediately goes to the calendar and said, okay, we got to avoid this.
- 14:07So what I'm saying is that it's not like, I know she learned it from her mom and dad,
- 14:12but she has lived it.
- 14:14And we have watched people not take advice over, don't do this and this and the calendar.
- 14:20And real bad stuff has happened.
- 14:22It becomes natural, right?
- 14:24Actually, one of the biggest benefits of it, it's not only is it natural, but it nurtures
- 14:36and creates a new identity.
- 14:38You have an identity in him.
- 14:40Okay.
- 14:41So look in that camera.
- 14:43People listening, obviously just listen to this, but Rabbi pray for people to clear their
- 14:51mind because what you just walked through was very base level.
- 14:55I'm tracking with you.
- 14:56I know people watching and listening are tracking with you, but I know there's usually a lot
- 15:01of distractions and the enemy uses times like this, even watching and listening to really
- 15:08good spiritual content because this is so important.
- 15:11So can you pray into people for their minds to just be clear to accept this teaching,
- 15:18to accept God's calendar and the Hebrew calendar and just this opportunity to gain knowledge
- 15:25from it?
- 15:27Yeah.
- 15:28Absolutely.
- 15:29And I'm going to pray and I'm going to finish with the last feast, which is a minor feast,
- 15:33but one of our favorites is Hanukkah.
- 15:36So Hanukkah is a place where it's another testing time where you're going to compromise
- 15:41with the world or you're going to stand up for what you believe.
- 15:44Are you going to restore the temple?
- 15:46And so that's part of that situation.
- 15:51So let me look into this camera and say this to you.
- 15:56Fulfillment.
- 15:59Spiritual fulfillment is done on purpose with a plan and discipleship, discipline, habit
- 16:08and patterns.
- 16:11It doesn't happen because you're born again filled with the spirit and someone lays hands
- 16:15on you.
- 16:17I believe in all that, but what happens is you have to choose to, so to say, have a covenant
- 16:26of one new man, which means that you are removing all the prejudice and all the separations
- 16:31and you enter into covenant with God.
- 16:34Secondly, once you become that one new man covenant in Ephesians 2 and 3, then the next
- 16:39thing that happens to you is this.
- 16:43You have, you put on, the scripture says you have to choose to put on the new man.
- 16:48So right now choose to say, Father God, I'm in a one new man covenant.
- 16:55I am part of the household of faith.
- 16:58I am part of the ecclesia of the Israel of God, according to the book of Ephesians.
- 17:04I'm in covenant.
- 17:05The blood of Jesus has removed the middle wall of separation, creating one new man from
- 17:09the two thus making peace.
- 17:12Now the second thing you have to do is you have to put on the new man.
- 17:18So Father God, I choose to put on my new identity in Christ Jesus.
- 17:23I choose to put on that I am more than a conqueror through Him.
- 17:27You choose it, you speak it, you pray it right now.
- 17:31And then there's the inner man.
- 17:33So the inner man is your spirit, your soul.
- 17:37Your soul and your spirit need to come in agreement with the Holy Spirit.
- 17:43So that there's agreement with, okay, I choose to believe what the word of God says.
- 17:50And so now you're making a choice in the inner man.
- 17:54So you're one new man, the new man, and now the inner man.
- 17:58That takes care of what we would call the breath, the width and the length.
- 18:04All those, Paul says that I want you to comprehend the breath, the width and the length.
- 18:14But then the fourth thing he says is the height.
- 18:17The height is the fourth dimension.
- 18:20It's the fulfillment in the spirit.
- 18:23It's being fulfilled in the Holy Spirit.
- 18:27It's when the Holy Spirit in heaven speaks to you on earth and it's as it is in heaven
- 18:32on earth and you actually understand what he's saying and you understand what he's doing
- 18:40in you.
- 18:41Those are the steps.
- 18:42So Paul said, listen, I want you to comprehend with all the saints, the breath, the width,
- 18:48the length and the height.
- 18:49The height is that fourth dimension in the spirit.
- 18:55So one of the things that happens is one of the biggest things you can do to nurture your
- 19:00soul.
- 19:01Okay?
- 19:02You have a body.
- 19:03This body is not going to heaven.
- 19:06This is just your earth suit.
- 19:09Your soul, your mind, will and emotions is what needs to be transformed by habits and
- 19:15patterns to be able to know that God is God and that you're chosen of Him and you are
- 19:22chosen to walk with Him and as Him.
- 19:26So everything you do with the calendar has to do with really programming your soul to
- 19:33live a lifestyle that is in alignment or in synergy or in sync with the Father.
- 19:41That's why the calendar is so important because if you're doing things, reading scriptures,
- 19:46being a part of the feast, what happens is your body and soul are being trained as disciples
- 19:53to be able to receive what God is doing in that season.
- 19:57So I'm going to pray out like a cyclical annual prayer for you so that you can kind of see
- 20:05what that feels like.
- 20:06Is that good?
- 20:07Yeah.
- 20:08Okay.
- 20:09Let's do it.
- 20:10So I didn't mean to go down.
- 20:11No, no.
- 20:12But I'm loving it.
- 20:13Okay.
- 20:14So here's the thing.
- 20:15Father, our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
- 20:18Thy will be done in each individual's life who's listening and watching on earth.
- 20:25Let it be as it is in heaven in their earthen vessel.
- 20:29Lord, let us embrace your calendar, even in the Gregorian calendar, that Lord in the early
- 20:36March, Father God, we choose like Esther to say, Father God, we choose the assignment
- 20:45to answer the call to be a hero, to save the kingdom and save the people.
- 20:52Father God, we come to Passover.
- 20:54We choose every year to make a quality, emotional, intelligent decision to say, Father God, whatever
- 21:03I've picked up since the last Passover that's in the flesh that has enslaved me and it happens
- 21:09to all of us.
- 21:11We're taking the four cups of Passover and we are going to be redeemed and we're going
- 21:16to reset and be cleansed from the ways of Egypt.
- 21:20You are in the world, but not of the world.
- 21:22Lord, this is that feast where we take seven days to say, Lord, anything that's attached
- 21:28to self to me, I'm being cleansed from it in Jesus' name.
- 21:31Father God, I've got the counting down of the Elmer, the 50 days between freedom from
- 21:37slavery to empowerment to be that King, Priest, Entrepreneur, God's called you to be.
- 21:44Father God, in this 50 days, mold me and shape me.
- 21:48You are the potter, I am the clay.
- 21:51Shape me, Lord, into what I'm to do for this next year.
- 21:55That empowerment comes at Chevevo.
- 21:58Then you go through the valley of the shadow of death.
- 22:01You are literally being tested during these months right now and the 9th of Av and the
- 22:07Dire Straits and you say, Father God, I actually take the test and the angers and the fears
- 22:13that will come as almost like a mammogram or an EKG or an X-ray into my soul to show
- 22:21me where the triggers are that in those 18% moments in the future that would cause me
- 22:29to fail.
- 22:30You know that there's anger outbursts that can happen, words that are said that can totally
- 22:36derail your future.
- 22:38This period of time, Taomuz and Av, is where God pushes the buttons so it's not really
- 22:44him but situations push the buttons in you so that you can be set free from you.
- 22:53Because if you identify it, you can say, Father God, search me and know me for I desire truth
- 22:58in my inward parts and then you come out of agreement like, okay, it's rejection.
- 23:05That person rejected me.
- 23:06I don't like him.
- 23:07Now I'm mad.
- 23:08I'm going to do everything I can to get that person.
- 23:10That human behavior.
- 23:12But then you flip the rock over and where did the rejection come from?
- 23:16You know what?
- 23:17Your parents rejected you.
- 23:19Your parents liked your brother or your sister, siblings over more than favoritism and you
- 23:25were left out.
- 23:26And all of a sudden, anytime someone rejects you, man, you go off because why?
- 23:31It has nothing to do with the situation happening in Taomuz or the night of Av.
- 23:37It has everything to do back when you were six years old and your dad said, listen, you're
- 23:42absolutely no good.
- 23:43We're going for ice cream.
- 23:44I'm leaving you behind but I'm taking your brother and sister and whatever.
- 23:48All those types of things.
- 23:49Listen, human beings don't know what they say but it leaves deep wounds.
- 23:53This time in the summer is where the Lord exposes the anger to find the fear to heal
- 23:59it and turn that into faith.
- 24:02Now we're coming into, we're equipped.
- 24:05What we've received over this year has now been tested and we've passed the test.
- 24:10We've made the adjustments and now we say, Father God, let's celebrate this new opportunity
- 24:15in Yeshua's name at Rosh Hashanah.
- 24:17Blow a trumpet in Zion.
- 24:19Sound an alarm in my holy mountain of my heart.
- 24:22Father God, I'm coming into the fall feast and that Lord you are with an awakening blast
- 24:28that Lord you're going to take me.
- 24:30I'm not going to make decisions just in the breath, the width and the length but I'm going
- 24:34into the heights to comprehend out of the courts of heaven all the visions and desires,
- 24:39all that's been written in my books.
- 24:41Lord, I'm going to see it, say it, proclaim it, decree it, live it and be it.
- 24:46I will be who I'm called to be.
- 24:49I'm answering the trumpet blast but Lord, there may be some things in me that just don't
- 24:55line up.
- 24:56I'm coming to Yom Kippur.
- 24:58I want to be cleansed by the blood of the atonement.
- 25:01Thank you, Father God, prepare me because I'm being prepared for Sukkot, for the weddings
- 25:07of the Lamb, this harvest feast.
- 25:09I want to be white as snow.
- 25:11So as you launch me into this next season of time as your bride and Father God that
- 25:17I am cleansed from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet and then you're walking
- 25:21in that blessed time in your wedding covenant at Sukkot.
- 25:27You have a whole week to celebrate that and then as we start to go into the winter time
- 25:33there's another test that comes and it's called Hanukkah.
- 25:36In Hanukkah you face the giants of Antiochus IV.
- 25:40You see the corruption in the temple, the corruption in all the seven mountains of influence.
- 25:45The corruption comes to your town, so to say, of Mota'in and you become like Judah Maccabee,
- 25:50the praise hammer.
- 25:51You make a decision as the leader of your mom, your dad, your grandparent, your pastor,
- 25:57your CEO, your leader, your manager, whatever you are.
- 26:01You make a decision right then and you say, you know what, I've gone through all this
- 26:04training.
- 26:05I'm like Esther, I chose.
- 26:06Listen, I've been washed from that slavery.
- 26:08I've been empowered by the Holy Spirit.
- 26:10I was tested in the desert and I fear no evil for as Rod and Staff shall comfort me.
- 26:16I've made a decision to get rid of the anger and the fear and I've been prepared for a
- 26:21time such as this.
- 26:22When they come with the temptation to be able to corrupt the temple like they did in the
- 26:27Hanukkah story, I raise up and I agree that in the Spirit we kill the garrison that's
- 26:32coming against us.
- 26:33We climb the mountain of the Lord.
- 26:35We go into the temple and we become a part of those heroes that say, Father God in the
- 26:41name of Yeshua, I'm going to cleanse this temple.
- 26:44We're taking down the statues of Zeus.
- 26:47We're cleansing it in the blood of Jesus.
- 26:49We're trusting the Lord for the miraculous oil that there was only one container for
- 26:54and trust it for eight nights of new beginnings.
- 26:57Father God, that you will bring the anointing oil not only in the temple but in me, the
- 27:01miraculous new beginning oil of the temple in Yeshua's name.
- 27:09That's the calendar.
- 27:10That's the cycle.
- 27:12And if you think about it, you're going to have how many of these cycles?
- 27:1770, 80, 90, 100?
- 27:20No one knows.
- 27:22But when you seek first the kingdom of God and you discipline your soul to follow God's
- 27:28calendar, you're more apt to understand God's ways.
- 27:31So, when he says, My ways aren't your ways, you could say to him, Father God in Jesus'
- 27:37name, I put my ways in your ways by setting my calendar to your calendar.
- 27:46It's just one of the small things I can do to allow me to be who I am, not just a human
- 27:53doing but a human being in the spirit as a king and a priest, according to the order,
- 27:59Al-Kazadak in Yeshua's name.
- 28:02Amen.
- 28:03Kind of hard to transition out of that one because I feel like incredibly powerful.
- 28:11I was just asking for a prayer.
- 28:13I know people watching and listening will appreciate you going much beyond just praying
- 28:19to clear their mind to be able to clear your mind.
- 28:23No, I mean, that was great.
- 28:29I just have two more questions, two more areas.
- 28:36It's just taking feedback.
- 28:38We've been observing me and my wife, Morgan, for a little over two years, the feast, right?
- 28:46And so, I know there's a question that we got to get answered, but I know in the comment
- 28:53section on YouTube or Facebook, people drop it in occasionally.
- 28:57So the first question, and this is just to wrap up that episode because I don't think
- 29:01I can go back to get you to do something that good again.
- 29:05So let's have some fun in this one, right?
- 29:09Why does the Hebrew calendar change every year?
- 29:13That's first up because that's a very basic question.
- 29:17It does sometimes change in ways that really helps our schedules and sometimes it doesn't,
- 29:21right?
- 29:22It's the year where it doesn't.
- 29:24And like the year before, it's like all the feasts were like on Friday nights and they
- 29:29actually were close, like Passover and Easter were like this.
- 29:32This year because of the leap year, you have Easter here and Passover way out here.
- 29:38But to answer your questions, because it's a lunar calendar.
- 29:41Okay.
- 29:42Simple enough.
- 29:44Anyone listening or watching can Google that.
- 29:46You'll probably still be a little confused because you look at the Hebrew year one year
- 29:49and it's like, what's...
- 29:51It's just lunar.
- 29:52The calendar follows the moons, the cycle and the moon and those change.
- 29:56The Gregorian is set in the sun.
- 29:59Okay.
- 30:00It's scientific.
- 30:01It is what it is.
- 30:03So the sun doesn't change and doesn't move.
- 30:07It is stable.
- 30:10And so the Gregorian calendar is that.
- 30:13And the moon is obviously operates in cycles.
- 30:18And so, and that's the Hebrew calendar.
- 30:22So that's why when you have all these eclipses and different things with the sun and the
- 30:27moon is speaking volumes to, so to say the sun, the Gentile calendar, the moon, the lunar
- 30:33calendar.
- 30:34So when the moon blocks out the sun, what it's saying is God's calendar is blocking out
- 30:40man's calendar.
- 30:41Okay.
- 30:42So you answer that pretty easily.
- 30:45Okay.
- 30:46So hopefully people can figure out, maybe I can finally figure it out.
- 30:52I think the last area I kind of want to touch on and make this really, really relatable,
- 30:59right?
- 31:01Walk me through just one example of, I mean, you've been following the Hebrew calendar
- 31:07and God's appointed times for 40 plus years and been teaching it for a long time.
- 31:12Absolutely.
- 31:1334 years.
- 31:1434.
- 31:15All right.
- 31:16So I was pushing you six years up.
- 31:17So...
- 31:18Well, the 40 thing is, Christy and I've been, you know, I was doing that with how long Megan,
- 31:22but I got saved at 36.
- 31:25So Megan, Megan got saved before me, but she would have been about five.
- 31:29Okay.
- 31:30So 34 years, you've been observing the calendar and the appointed times.
- 31:37But just to make it relatable because, I mean, everybody goes through moments of doubts
- 31:43or whatever.
- 31:44I mean, like life is very difficult.
- 31:46I have to just think of it day by day.
- 31:49It's like, yes, Lord, whatever you have me do today, yes, to kind of slow down.
- 31:55Tell me a story though of during that 34 years, maybe when...
- 32:02Not saying you're out of alignment, but like maybe life was just happening, right?
- 32:07And you weren't as far in depth in the time of the year as you should have been.
- 32:14And maybe what you learned from it or how you pivoted from it to put your mind back
- 32:19in to time.
- 32:21I mean, maybe like a feeling that like you can remember.
- 32:24Yeah.
- 32:25Well, I will say when, even to right now, the...
- 32:31Okay.
- 32:32So we just had the assassination attempt of Trump.
- 32:37Okay.
- 32:38So it's on Shabbat.
- 32:42And back, Jane Hammond actually texted me, they were traveling and she texted me and
- 32:52she said, Rabbi, Trump's been shot.
- 32:56And so I don't know why she texted me.
- 33:00I would say, I'm going to make an assumption, okay?
- 33:03It's Shabbat.
- 33:04She knows I'm not watching.
- 33:05Tell...
- 33:06Listen, I relax and spend time with the Lord on Shabbat and have for, again, over 30 years.
- 33:12So, she sends it to me and then my...
- 33:17Then Megan texts me and said, he's been shot.
- 33:21And then Megan texts me and said, well, Darrell texts Megan and said, maybe Rabbi, I should
- 33:29go on the air and pray.
- 33:33And so my initial thought was, well, I can't do it.
- 33:38I don't work on Shabbat.
- 33:40And I literally, I've learned the hard way of trying to fake work on Shabbat and it doesn't
- 33:45work.
- 33:46I mean, I have to Shabbat.
- 33:47Listen, any testimony, I'm 69 years old and I'm in great health.
- 33:54And I really think it's the calendar and Shabbat.
- 33:58I really do.
- 33:59So, anyway, it could be good genes.
- 34:00I don't know.
- 34:01It doesn't matter.
- 34:02But so anyway, so you guys called and I prayed about it and the Lord said, no.
- 34:08There's reasons why, but you need to pray right now.
- 34:14And so I said, okay, so I had no prep work.
- 34:17I just went in, you know, I have an office with a studio, went in there, flipped everything
- 34:21on, text you said, here we go.
- 34:25No preparation.
- 34:26Other than I opened the Bible up to Psalm 91.
- 34:29I had no idea what I was going to say.
- 34:33But I know I'm called and I know that the Holy Spirit.
- 34:37Scripture says, don't fear what you're going to speak when you be put on trial.
- 34:42He says, I will give you the tongue of the well and ready writer.
- 34:46Now I have stood on that scripture for 30 years.
- 34:51So I, because I get put on the spot all the time, live television, you know, Washington
- 34:56DC, hundreds of thousands of people on the platform.
- 35:00Hey, guess what rabbi, you come and speak.
- 35:02No, I've had this stuff happen to me.
- 35:05And it's like, okay, here's all these cameras and I don't know how many hundreds of thousands
- 35:10were there at the events I've been at, but a lot.
- 35:13It doesn't make a difference.
- 35:14You're standing there and the Holy Spirit has, and Christy will tell you this and Tim
- 35:19and Sandy has never ditched me.
- 35:23And that's what happened on Saturday.
- 35:25I just sat down, Christy's in the chair.
- 35:28I'm there and I just said, okay, this has happened.
- 35:31Let's pray.
- 35:32And then be honest with you, I can't even tell you what I pray.
- 35:35It just like was a, whoa, you know, it was this explosion.
- 35:40So to answer your question is, I'd say Shabbat.
- 35:44If I don't Shabbat, if I don't Shabbat, it affects the way I function in the spirit.
- 35:55I would say this to you.
- 35:57You don't know when the next download that's going to change your life because major life
- 36:04changing events happen suddenly.
- 36:08And so that's why you always have to kind of be ready.
- 36:11It's just kind of like, and the thing is, I don't want to be unshabbed out of rest and
- 36:18have it come and I miss it.
- 36:22I've missed it on two occasions where I've really repented.
- 36:26And the reason is because I was out of rest.
- 36:29I was too busy.
- 36:30That's kind of answer.
- 36:33And life was happening.
- 36:34It was happening too fast.
- 36:35So I have to maintain, I know like a car, I know like how many RPMs I can run at.
- 36:44And our staff takes good care of that.
- 36:46It's one of the reasons that we spend time here and then we spend time in Florida because
- 36:52at our age, we have to have that stop refreshing time.
- 36:58And as you know, I get more content from going down to the beach for 10 days.
- 37:05Because what happens is I'm out of that busyness of what's here and all the staff and pastoring
- 37:12and I can sit and really ask the Lord, what is it that you want to say?
- 37:17You know, one of the reasons I would encourage people to join us and subscribe to us on YouTube
- 37:23that is that they get the prophetic words.
- 37:27Because when I get these prophetic words, I'm getting them trusting the Lord that He's
- 37:32going to speak through me to you in the sense that that word is what you need to hear.
- 37:39And the way the prophetic words work is you're getting ready to make a decision.
- 37:42Maybe it's a bad one.
- 37:44And also as the prophetic word comes, and the biggest thing was, ooh, I almost jumped
- 37:48off the cliff into this thing that I sold myself on it through fear and anxiety.
- 37:55But the whole time the Lord was saying, if you just sit and wait, and then something
- 37:59great comes.
- 38:01And you know, it's my experience with it.
- 38:06It would be to my grandkids, you were so demanding to have a popsicle.
- 38:13And the Lord actually wanted to give you the ice cream truck if you would have just waited.
- 38:20You know, you settled from one popsicle.
- 38:23And that's what happens is with the Lord, if you'll be patient, He'll give you the
- 38:26whole ice cream truck.
- 38:29So those prophetic words that Rabbi is talking about is the just YouTube membership.
- 38:35It's so cheap and like we keep it that way.
- 38:38It just helps us produce more.
- 38:39It doesn't have 250.
- 38:42It's $2.99 a month.
- 38:43So we've been trying to add more content to that rabbi.
- 38:46I mean, you know, and just make it better.
- 38:49And I think in 2025, we'll probably add some tears to that and try to figure out different
- 38:54ways.
- 38:55It's kind of my pitch to people that are watching or listening.
- 38:58If you're listening to this on Spotify or Apple or a website, if you're watching this
- 39:02on YouTube or watching it on Facebook, it's what I really push for why people should subscribe
- 39:08to the YouTube channel is that we're going to feed you daily and weekly.
- 39:13And, you know, we're going to have Shabbat on Friday nights, right?
- 39:16We're going to have the Curt Landry podcast.
- 39:18But in between, we strategically sprinkle little nuggets, even if it's 60 seconds in
- 39:24a YouTube short, that we really believe is going to help you in your daily walk and hopefully
- 39:30meet you where you're at in your faith journey or just your journey in life if you're a non-believer,
- 39:36right?
- 39:37To encourage you to bring you to the board and to bring you to other content, hopefully
- 39:41on our channel that will share Jesus with you and walk you through and hopefully I can
- 39:47get some content in front of you at some point, maybe this podcast, maybe this episode, to
- 39:51show you the feast and show you the calendar.
- 39:56And you listen to it, you look in your Bible, you do your research, and you come up to a
- 40:02conclusion of, hopefully, hey, let me try this.
- 40:07Let me look for some activation by just being faithful, trusting, and I think what you just
- 40:13said takes a lot of patience.
- 40:15Yeah.
- 40:16Well, you know, for me, it's, we kind of pioneered this in a way, you know, as Christian and believers.
- 40:26And, but my motivation was is that when I read the scripture about the feast and all
- 40:34of it says, an everlasting covenant, everlasting means forever.
- 40:39I don't care that it's in the Old Testament.
- 40:41So, but I just did it out of the love of God.
- 40:45I wanted my family to be blessed.
- 40:47Now I will say this, you won't have this heat now, but we were doing this for 30 years ago.
- 40:56Most of my church friends thought we were legalistic, lots of pressure, lots of like
- 41:01you're Judaizing, all this stuff.
- 41:04It, I'm not saying it didn't hurt or it wasn't a hindrance, but the key is I heard from God
- 41:11that the Lord said, I want to show this to you.
- 41:14So now as I look back 34 years ago from where we were and where we are now, the life the
- 41:22Lord's given Christy and I and my family, we're blessed.
- 41:28And I can honestly say I would not trade my life with any other, all my ministry friends
- 41:36that I know and I love them and they're blessed.
- 41:39I wouldn't trade my life for any of theirs.
- 41:44What God has done.
- 41:46And I think it really has to do with this.
- 41:48A lot of it has to do with following the calendar.
- 41:51Because what it does is, and you'll see this as your kids get older, when your children
- 42:01and your grandchildren actually start mirroring you and they go, oh my gosh, look at that
- 42:08little Kurt and I'll hear that out of, you know, and you know, people refer to Megan
- 42:15as Kurt with a skirt.
- 42:18So when you hear that, and you bring that up in a meeting, that'll be good.
- 42:26Anyway, the family has said it for years.
- 42:29But because she does, she takes after her father, but the same thing with some of my
- 42:34grandkids, they'll do stuff and Megan will say, oh my gosh, I'm raising my father.
- 42:43You know, Joseph will.
- 42:45Joseph is very similar in his behavior.
- 42:48But anyway, so when you hear that, my heart just goes, I mean, how blessed that God gives
- 42:59you in the creative process, these children and grandchildren, and they reflect you.
- 43:05Well, why wouldn't you want to do that for God?
- 43:09That's what the feast are all about.
- 43:11I'm reflecting him and I believe all these years, keeping the feast that I think when
- 43:19he looks down and sees what we do at House of David and our families, I think he goes,
- 43:26look, they're doing it the way we did.
- 43:31And I've literally, I've literally been in the car driving home from the service, having
- 43:39the conversation with the Apostle Paul and the great crowd of crowd of witnesses.
- 43:45And I've said, how did I do with that?
- 43:48It's your letter to your revelation.
- 43:52Did it make sense?
- 43:54Did I do okay with your content?
- 43:56Because it's his revelation.
- 43:58And I literally either feel encouraged or I'm trying to improve it because this is my family
- 44:06and this is what I'm trying to tell people, if all the characters in the Bible, you're
- 44:11grafted in there, your family, it feels much more like family when you behave a lifestyle
- 44:18as a family member.
- 44:19That's what the feast are all about.
- 44:21Well, I think that's going to wrap it up for this episode.
- 44:25I don't really know where else we could touch.
- 44:28I think in a couple of months, we'll look back at some feedback, some comments.
- 44:33And then next time we do another episode or come up with some more teaching that we'll
- 44:39have a good pivot point to kind of go from there.
- 44:44But man, Rabbi, I mean, really, really powerful episode.
- 44:47If you're watching this on Facebook or YouTube, drop a comment with whatever you got for us
- 44:54on this.
- 44:55You got prayer requests, drop them in there.
- 44:56If you got more questions, drop them in the comments as well.
- 45:00If you're watching on YouTube, you're going to have a video pop up on the screen.
- 45:04Hopefully, it's going to be recommended towards what we think and what YouTube thinks that
- 45:09you want to watch on our channel next so we can just feed you more.
- 45:14Just stay in this channel.
- 45:17Hopefully, subscribe so we can help you with your walk.
- 45:21Rabbi, last thought for you in this episode.
- 45:25Let the Holy Spirit expand your horizons right now.
- 45:30Look it caught up with what's at your feet.
- 45:32Lift up your head for your redemption draw at nine.
- 45:35Okay.
- 45:36If you're on YouTube, it will pop up on your screen right now.
- 45:39If not, we'll see you next time.
