Publisher's Synopsis
When you think of building a relationship with someone, what is the first thing that comes to mind? In the list of things that you thought of, I am sure that somewhere near the top of the list is "spending time with someone" and "getting to know someone." It is no different in the relationship we have with our heavenly Father. Our heavenly Father desires to spend time with His people. We know that we can all have a personal close relationship with our Father in Yeshua, our Messiah. It is a necessity of our faith to pray continually and to study the living Word of YHWH. As we examine the Word we will see that not only can we come to the King any and every day, but there are times and seasons in our walk that have been fore-ordained by the Father to reveal certain things at specific times. Have you ever read the Word and discovered something that you had never seen before? It was there all along. Why didn't we see it earlier? The answer is, we didn't see it because it was concealed. The things that are concealed belong to the LORD. The great thing is that as we search out the Word we walk in a progressive revelation of our heavenly Father. In other words, He reveals Himself to His people at the appropriate time. Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. 1 Corinthians 13:11-12 (11) When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. (12) For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. As we grow in our faith, we are growing in our relationship with our Heavenly Father. In this process, we learn more about Him. We come to see Him for who He says He is, not what we have thought He was. First impressions are not always correct. Especially if someone else told you what your first impression was without ever meeting who they were talking about. Our heavenly Father has chosen to lay out certain times and seasons with His people for the purpose of drawing them closer and empowering them to live an overcoming life here on Earth. These times in Scripture are called "Moedim" in Hebrew. The definition of the word moedim is, set appointed times. We have been given appointments with the King of kings and LORD of Lords. These times throughout Scripture are prophetic in their nature. They reveal the work of the Messiah and show how the people of YHWH are equipped to walk in this life victoriously. If the King says that He wants to have an appointment with us, will we be faithful to prepare for the time appointed? It is the prayer of this author that by the time you finish this book that you will have a deeper understanding of the work that Yeshua, our Messiah, has done in your life. That as you search out the Scriptures, you will see that the appointed times that were given to the people of YHWH were given as appointments with the creator of heaven and earth. In these appointments, we find strength in our LORD and grow in our faith. May we continue to grow in the wisdom, knowledge and understanding that can only come from our heavenly Father, through Yeshua our Messiah, by His Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit).
