Understanding & Participating In Yom Kippur – The Great Day To Be Covered!
Chuck Pierce shares a teaching on the significance of Yom Kippur. He describes what this means for Christians as well as suggesting a “Day of Atonement” excercise.
Excerpt:
The Day of Atonement has become more and more prominent in these days because of terror and lawlessness. This day is called “the great fast” (Acts 27:9), or “the great day,” or merely “the day.” The Gentiles must recognize the power of the Day of Yom Kippur. We must lead the way for all of Israel to see His love, compassion and forgiveness. No man may come unto the Father but through Jesus, the Lamb slain to take away the sins of the world (John 1:29; 14:6).
At this key time, pray that all of Israel may know the grace of the One who was sent to redeem them (Luke 24:27, 44-45, Isaiah 9). Also, pray for an awakening in the Gentile world to the power of the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ (Amos 9, Acts 15, 28).
As Robert Heidler says, “The Day of Atonement is not a day for joyful celebration, but it DOES open the door for the most joyful celebration of the year, the Feast of Tabernacles.”
As you observe the Day of Atonement, I would like to suggest a “Day of Atonement” exercise. Many Christians have never experienced the blessing of confessing their sins. They’ve never known the peace that comes when you know you are completely FREE of all guilt before God. Some Christians have NEVER confessed their sins. They have so much unconfessed sin in their lives, they would not even know how to begin confessing it. There is such a backlog of sin that they are no longer even conscious of the individual acts of sin they have committed. They just have a general “guilty” feeling.
