Day 7 – Prepare for His Presence
As I’ve shared throughout these teachings, I believe with all my heart that one year, during this season of Tabernacles and Atonement, the Lord Jesus Christ will return for His Church.
- Faster than a hoof ever struck pavement: He’s coming.
- Faster than a wheel ever turned upon an axle: He’s coming.
- Faster than lightning flashing from east to west: He’s coming.
Scripture declares:
“For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we shall be forever with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 MEV).
Of course, no one knows the day or the hour (Matthew 24:36). But we do know the season … and this could be the year!
But even if the Lord Jesus tarries, God has made a covenant promise for this holy season. For everyone who honors His command to observe the Day of Atonement, He releases
seven supernatural blessings — blessings only available during this appointed time:
- A double portion from the Lord (Joel 2:23) — twice the power of every blessing!
- Overflowing financial breakthrough (Joel 2:24).
- Total restoration of what has been lost (Joel 2:25).
- Miracles without measure (Joel 2:26).
- The manifest presence of Jesus (Joel 2:27).
- Protection, revelation, and angelic covering for your family (Joel 2:28).
- Deliverance from every bondage and attack of the adversary (Joel 2:32).
Friend, this is why the Day of Atonement is so critical. It is not just a tradition — it is God’s divine appointment with His people, the holiest day on His calendar. It is the day He promises to draw nearer, to forgive, to restore, and to pour out blessing on those who come before Him with reverence and obedience.
That’s why I want to pray for you — every day between now and Yom Kippur, Thursday, October 2. Send me your most urgent prayer requests so I can agree with you for the mighty release of God’s promises in your life during this sacred Atonement season.
Yours for the harvest,
Pastor Rod Parsley
