Knowing Him Daily

13.September.2026

I told you Friday I was attending something I had never experienced before. I want to tell you honestly, it exceeded what I had imagined.

The Hebrew liturgy was spoken throughout, met again and again with a chorus of Amen’s from the congregation. It was clear I was standing inside something feeling ancient, something that has been carried faithfully for thousands of years, now filled with people who recognize Yeshua as the fulfillment of every bit of it with reverence. 

Rabbi David preached with an urgency I was not expecting. He opened by pressing the room to examine ourselves honestly. Do you really pray? Do you really know the Lord? Do you have an intimate, personal relationship with Him, one that can only happen through faith in Messiah Y’Shua? He asked whether we pour out our hearts to Him like water, whether there is a real kesher (“kesher” (קֶשֶׁר) is the Hebrew word for “connection” or “bond,”) a real connection, or whether our prayers have gone flat and routine.

Then he moved into something that is urgent. On this Day of Judgment, he said, if Yeshua is in your heart, He rearranges the furniture of your life. A stranger would never walk into somebody else’s house and start rearranging the furniture, that would be an intrusion. But Yeshua was never intended to be a stranger. Not a guest, not occasionally, but as a right He holds because He is King and Lord of the life He actually lives in. That is one of the ways you know He is actually in your life, not simply believed in, but living and active, moving things you thought were settled.

He walked us through the cleansing of the temple and unpacked exactly what it meant, both then and now. Yeshua demanded spiritual reality. He demanded spiritual authority. And in doing both, he was declaring something enormous: you are the final temple! Then it dawned on me, I am the final temple and so are you.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Leviticus 17:11

For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Hebrews 10:4

Under the Old Covenant, the meeting with God through animal sacrifice was never fully complete, no human being ever got to walk into the Holy of Holies themselves. But Isaiah had already promised something greater.

Mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. Isaiah 56:7

Yeshua Himself declared that promise fulfilled when He drove out the money changers.

My house shall be called the house of prayer. Luke 19:46

Sin and guilt offerings are obsolete now, Rabbi David said, not because God changed His mind, but because Yeshua fulfilled every bit of what they pointed toward. Heaven should be breaking loose in our lives because of what was already finished.

Then, right at the very end, after the sermon had closed, the shofars sounded, not once, but many separate blasts, by over 10 different trumpeters, ranging from young boy to older men and women, that ram’s horn pealing through the room in a way no recording could ever prepare you for.

I left with far more than I could process in one night, notebook full, heart full, and a real sense that I had just witnessed something both ancient and yet completely alive. 

Sunday, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, still ahead, and I cannot wait to keep learning.

Do you recognize that you are the final temple?

If you have never given your life to Jesus Christ, you can do that right now. Pray this with me:

Dear Heavenly Father, 

I confess that I have sinned, and I believe Jesus died for my sins and rose again on the third day. I ask Jesus, come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Thank You for saving me. 

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Make today count and see you tomorrow.
