Transcript of this segment

As we close this teaching, we want to give praise and thanks to the Lord of lords, the King of kings, for a new month. May this month be renewed in your favor — in your health, your finances, your well-being, and in whatever you are going through. May there be healing, provision, and conquering, all of which the Lord God wants to do for you.

In Psalms 148: "Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise Him in the heights! Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His hosts! Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all you stars of light! Let them praise the name of the Lord, for He commanded and they were created. He also established them forever and ever. Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all the depths; fire and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling His word; mountains and all hills; fruitful trees and all cedars; wild beasts and all cattle; creeping things and flying fowl; kings of the earth and all peoples; princes and all judges of the earth; both young men and maidens; old men and children. Let them praise the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven. And He has exalted the horn of His people, the praise of all His saints — of the children of Israel, a people near to Him. Praise the Lord!"

We praise Him for everything — for the new moon, for all of creation, and for His Son Yeshua Messiah who sacrificed Himself for all of us. We give Him all the credit, glory, and honor forever and ever.

And we say the new moon blessing: "Praised are You, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who created the skies with His word and all the heavenly host with the breath of His mouth. He gave them appointed times and roles, and they never miss their cues, doing their Creator's bidding with gladness and joy. He is the true Creator who acts faithfully, and He has told the moon to renew itself. It is a beautiful crown for the people carried by God from birth, who likewise will be renewed in the future in order to proclaim the beauty of their Creator, for His glorious majesty. Praised are You, O Lord, who renews the new moons, through Yeshua the Messiah, who receives all the credit, glory, and honor."

And we count the omer together: "Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech haolam, asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu al sefirat haomer." Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who sanctified us with His commandments and has commanded us to count the omer. This is day number 17 — two weeks and three days on our journey to the 50th day.

My friends, I hope this has been helpful to you. Thank you so much for joining us tonight as we celebrate the new moon. If you have a shofar, blow it; or shout — the Lord will take it as a teruah. I hope you enjoy this month. I hope favor comes upon you, as it is a very favorable and anointed month. May it begin a new journey for you during this transitional month, from physical redemption to spiritual redemption, as we go through the purification the Lord wants for all of us. We pray for your healing, your provision, and your conquering by the Lord God Almighty. Friends, I appreciate you all being here. If you have any questions or revelation to share, you can email chad at faithfulperformance.com. As always, before we say goodbye: may God bless you, may He keep you, may His face shine upon you and give you His grace, may He lift up His countenance upon you and your family, and give you all His everlasting shalom. My name is Chadwick Harvey. You have reached Faithful Performance. We will see you very soon. We love you. Thank you very much.
