Do You Remember?

I remember Earth, Wind, & Fire’s classic, September as I prepare this blog.  The words “Do you remember?” resonate throughout the song.  The words, “Do you remember?” also resonate throughout Scripture. "14 And the LORD said to Moses, "Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Am'alek from under heaven."" [Exodus 17:14 RSV] "17 "Remember what Am'alek did to you on the way as you came out of Egypt, ... 19 Therefore when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess, you shall blot out the remembrance of Am'alek from under heaven; you shall not forget." [Deuteronomy 25:17, 19 RSV] The words, “Do you remember?” are a reminder of replay.  It’s a prophetic replay.  These words replay in every generation.  Every time Amalek appears, replay is taking place.  Every time the Jewish people are about to move into destiny by returning to the land of Israel, Amalek attacks.  For example, when the Jews leave Egypt and are about to come into the Promised Land of Israel, Amalek attacks.  When the Jews are about to return from Persia to Israel, Amalek attacks again in the form of Haman.  We see a third replay in 1917 when the British government announces support for the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in the Balfour Declaration.  This time, Amalek attacks in the form of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. Last year, Los Angeles declared September 21, Earth, Wind & Fire Day. There is something very special about the 21st day.  The 21st day of Tishrei on the Hebrew calendar is the day in which God executes judgment upon the nations of the world.  Esther the Queen prophesies the hangings of 10 future sons of Haman in the Nuremberg trials.  The hangings of 10 Nazi leaders for crimes against humanity occurs on October 16, 1946.  Guess what day that is on the Hebrew calendar?  It is the 21st of Tishrei!  Ba de ya, say that you remember! The words, “Do you remember?” should also resonate with your destiny.  During this season of Purim, you are coming into all the promises of God.  God is remembering and executing all His plans for good in your life.  I invite you to join me for “Do You Remember?” on Thursday, March 5 @ 7:30 PM- Breath of the Spirit - 1531 S Sinclair St, Anaheim, CA.
