It’s my pleasure and privilege to pronounce God’s blessings upon your life for the month of October 2025! May you be amazingly and awesomely blessed by “YAHWEH GO’ALECHAH QEDOSH YISRAEL” (“The LORD, your REDEEMER, the HOLY ONE of ISRAEL” [Isaiah 48:17; NASB])! May the Holy Spirit fill your heart with overflowing joy at the amazing blessing bestowed upon you, that Jesus “Himself is our [believing Jews and believing Gentiles] peace, who made both groups [believing Jews and believing Gentiles] into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two [believing Jews and believing Gentiles] into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity” (Ephesians 2:14-16; NASB)! May the Holy Spirit assure your heart that not only is Jesus Himself our peace, but He is the preacher of “peace to you who were far away [Gentiles] and peace to those who were near [Jews]” (Ephesians 2:17; NASB)! May the Spirit of God excite your heart in celebrating the awesome blessing of having our [believing Jews and believing Gentiles] access in one Spirit to the Father through Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:18)! May you revel in the amazing blessing that all who believe in Jesus are God’s people! For there is no longer any distinction between Jews and Gentiles. All believing Jews and believing Gentiles have equal status before God as citizens of His heavenly city! And all are members of His family or household! All believing Jews and believing Gentiles come into the Father’s holy presence through the one Spirit! Oh what an amazing and awesome blessing bestowed on us who are Gentiles! “So then you [believing Gentiles] are no longer strangers and aliens, but you [believing Gentiles] are fellow citizens with the saints, are of God’s household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets” (Ephesians 2:19-20a; NASB)! Oh what a special and significant honor God bestowed on us, Gentiles, who were once “far off” from His privileges! May the Spirit of God impress upon your heart today that “Christ Jesus Himself [is] the cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you [believing Gentiles] also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit” (Ephesians 2:20b-21; NASB)! May your heart be refreshed today in realizing afresh the amazing and awesome blessing that the new temple in which God dwells is not a building like the old Jerusalem temple! No! Not at all! It is a spiritual dwelling place! You are, and I am, the new temple in which God dwells by His Spirit! Oh yes! May you be amazingly and awesomely blessed by “YAHWEH GO’ALECHAH QEDOSH YISRAEL” (“The LORD, your REDEEMER, the HOLY ONE of ISRAEL” [Isaiah 48:17; NASB]), in the month of October 2025 and beyond! For our God, is so amazing and so awesome in His dealings with us - His believing children!
