A God Appointed & Directed
Cycle of Sanctification for all Believers
Cycle of Sanctification
God has a plan. His appointments are purposeful and unique, they work together within
the context of one biblical year, throughout our lifetime. All the Feasts (Appointed
Times) listed in Leviticus 23 (which are reviewed here), are called mo’adim (or in
the singular: moed). A moed is a unique and significant appointment or meeting between
God and man. The mo’adim (Appointed Times) act as specific teaching tools by causing
us to take focused time-
Examine the following overview of God’s biblical calendar
by clicking on each Appointed Time above. Look at each Feast of the Lord (Appointed
Time) individually, and look at them as a whole. Upon careful examination, I believe
you will begin to see exactly what I mean by ‘cycle of sanctification.’
Summary
In the same way that God causes new fruit and new life to come forth through the
changing of His seasons, He also renews His creation. Through His appointed times,
a ‘cycle of sanctification’ is formed through which new fruit and greater life can
come forth from His people. His kingdom is full of order and in that kingdom there
is life –His life-
Our participation is a critical element needed to encounter our Maker at His
appointed times. These days are neither random theological exercises nor mere thoughts
in our minds. God uses these holy days to free us from bondage (both physical at
times and spiritual at times) and transform us into the image of His Son. His Feasts/Appointed
Times are tools in our lives that daily, weekly, and annually mature us, heal us,
and sanctify us (i.e. set us apart from the world).
