Unleash the Blessings of Atonement in Your Life

“But I’m not Jewish,” you may be saying. “What’s the point of observing an Old Testament feast like the Day of Atonement?”

From the Mount of Olives Pastor Steve Munsey teaches that there were three feasts in which God says, “These are My days”:

• Passover
• Pentecost
• Atonement

They aren’t Jewish feast days. They aren’t the church’s days. They are God’s days.

These are days when He makes an appointment to meet with us. And we are to honor these feast days forever.

God has marked these three important days. Yes, God’s covenant has changed to a better covenant, but He did not demolish the Old Testament covenant:

• To the children of Israel, the feasts were observed.
• In Christ, the feasts were fulfilled.
• In the church, the feasts are applied.

We must learn to apply each, and we must apply them in order to have victory in every area of life.

Also, it is important to note that amazing things happen when people unleash God’s supernatural blessings through obedience during this time of Atonement!

SEVEN BLESSINGS OF THE ATONEMENT OFFERING
As Steve Munsey teaches in his book Seven Blessings of the Atonement, of all the seven yearly appointments with God, the Day of Atonement was (and still is) the most solemn and awe-filled commemoration. It was a time set aside for national and sanctuary cleansing. On this day special sacrifices were offered for atonement or reconciliation.

God established the Day of Atonement to be kept forever: “So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance” (Exodus 12:14, nkjv).

This feast was not only established for the Israelites in the time of their flight from Egypt but also consecrated as an “appointed (holy) time” each year throughout both the Old and the New Testaments.

Lost through the centuries since AD 325 is the fact that God promised blessings to those who observe His feasts. Specifically, those obedient concerning the Day of Atonement were promised seven blessings—seven specific, supernatural atonement blessings.

As Steve Munsey teaches, these seven blessings connected with the observance of the Day of Atonement are specifically mentioned in Joel 2(nkjv):

Blessing 1: A Double Portion—“The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, and you will be satisfied by them.... Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the Lord has done marvelous things!… Rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you—the former rain, And the latter rain in the first month.” (verses 19,21,22,23)

Blessing 2: Financial Outpouring—“The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil” (verse 24).

Blessing 3: Restoration—“So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you” (verse 25).

Blessing 4:  Special Miracles—“You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and My people shall never be put to shame” (verse 26).

Blessing 5: A Divine Presence—“Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God and there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame” (verse 27).

Blessing 6: Blessings on Your Family—“And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord” (verses 28,29,30,31).

Blessing 7: Deliverance—“And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved”  (verse 32).

The autumn season, specifically the time of Atonement, is a holy time with God. This was the time of which Joel was writing and prophesying.

The question is, are you ready for the seven blessings of the Atonement that are listed in Joel 2?

Very few people honor this feast day, this Day of Atonement, yet God has given the Word to those of us who are beginning to understand and declare the significance of God’s command to honor His holy days.

The people of God everywhere are starting to catch the vision that God has put within the modern church: His holy days are still holy. 

His holy convocation is still being called to all who will listen! 

However, for nearly seventeen centuries, these powerful truths have been mostly ignored and even rejected by Christians. Thankfully, that is now changing. It must change! There is too much at stake during these crucial, prophetic days.

According to Steve Munsey, “I believe the time is perfect now to tell people how their lives will change dramatically when they restore the Day of Atonement observance and offering, for God absolutely, positively sets schedules and time boundaries, especially for His feasts and blessings.”

On the Thursday and Friday telecasts you will hear how God is poised to pour out these seven blessings upon your life as you unleash these powerful ancient blessings in your life today.

THIS FERTILE SEASON
These Atonement offering blessings were (and are) specific and astounding. When God offers a covenant with His people, as He does with the seven blessings of the Atonement, it is a mutual obligation.

During this special fertile season, place a significant seed in God’s soil and see it works for you. We are told, time after time, to expect a harvest.

God will multiply your special offering back to you in supernatural ways. Luke 6:38 promises, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”

GOD’S SPECIAL BLESSINGS
On This Is Your Day! this Thursday and Friday, Steve Munsey urges people to give at least a $207 gift.

During this season, he teaches, the gift should be significant. Some are being led to give gifts of $2,007 or more.

I encourage you to seek the Lord on what you should give. Above all else, be sure to be part of this special Atonement offering and step into the overflow.

Why does God want to bless you so much? There is a coming supernatural harvest unlike anything we have ever seen. It is a harvest of ideas, creativity, inventions, talents, expansion, and influence. It is a spiritual harvest of miracles and souls as well as a vast harvest of financial blessings. Increasingly, “the wealth of the sinner” is increasingly being “stored up for the righteous” (Proverbs 13:22). And you can be part of it!

Why is this coming supernatural harvest so significant? I am fully convinced that God wants to bestow financial blessings on people who will generously support His work and help carry the message of His Son to the world.

Unleashing your finances during the coming days is directly related to obeying God’s laws of giving. God’s divine design for your financial success will not happen without your cooperation! The release of God’s blessings in your life is connected to your obedience, for the Bible declares: “And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God” (Deuteronomy 28:2).

Sowing always precedes reaping, and seedtime always precedes harvest. The seed you sow today in faith will produce a harvest of abundance and blessing on your life and will take the Gospel message of Jesus Christ to the nations of the world.

THIS AMAZING SEASON
God is moving mightily today. He is shaking the nations. We have a great work to do. He has promised to supply whatever we need to accomplish all that He has called us to do:

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. (John 14:12-14)

My heartfelt prayer is this: May the Lamb of God bless you richly in all that you do for Him in the days to come: “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen” (Ephesians 3:20-21).

This is an amazing season—the Day of Atonement—the most solemn of all feasts. Be part of this special observance.

Send your $207 or $2,007 seed, whatever the Lord leads you to do. Just be part of what God is doing during these incredible days.

Make sure that you also send your most urgent prayer requests. I have called for a special time of prayer on September 22 at our media center in California. I will personally be praying over your requests, believing for the blessings of the Atonement to flow over you and your loved ones during the coming days, weeks, and months!

It is my prayer that God will use this season and your Atonement offering to revolutionize your life and that He will pour out more blessings than you ever dreamed possible.

Winning the lost for the glory of
Jesus Christ, God’s beloved Son,

 

Plant your Atonement offering seed now.
