Today was Yom Kippur, the holiest of the Appointed Days (festivals, feasts) appointed by YHWH Elohim to the nation of Israel.
Amir Tsarfati helps us understand this solemn occasion.
Today In Washington D.C., a special event coinciding with Yom Kippur took place at the National Mall.

I hope to add the video to this post if it is offered to share. It was a powerful day of prayer, humbling, repentance and turning back to God. It was a time to awaken to the sore state of our individual souls, and the plight of our nation and nations around the world. Michele Bachmann was one of the speakers, and her words were powerful. I do so hope you find the opportunity to try to watch this life changing event. It was real and raw, and opened up wounds of the soul that needed to be healed in order for lives to find release and freedom.
Update: I did find this event broken down into 11 videos. Each video is approx 60 minutes each. The video I posted is #2 in the series.
You can find Michele's message and prayer on this 2nd video of 11 videos posted on YT. Michele speaks and prays at around 43:50

Today was also a bittersweet day, as our long anticipated 40 Days of Prayer and fasting came to a close.
During these 40 days, those of us who gathered to pray from our personal spaces at home, office, car etc. could never have imagined that we would be praying for the people who became victims of two back-to-back hurricanes, one of which has proven to be the deadliest hurricane to hit the nation's south eastern states, with the catastrophic damage done inland into the Appalachian mountains. At the same time we are praying for hurricane victims, over 200 Ballistic Missiles are being fired into Israel, with non-stop red-alerts going off on our phones. The sickening news coverage of college campuses and streets filled with anti-Semitic brainwashed students around the world, kept us on our heart's knees. And it will continue to do so.
For me personally, it was a time of healing a lifetime of embedded sorrows and disappointments. It has reassured me that I am truly loved by my Father in heaven, and that forgiveness is essential for moving forward with hope. Much like John Bunyan's beloved allegory, Pilgrim's Progress, I found myself trekking my own path, nudged by a distant call to Holy, towards my final destination - the Celestial City.
I am grateful for this stop along the journey. I pray that my life will prove the power of prayer, and the mercies of a God who SEES.
I am not as I was.
One day the veil will be lifted, and we will see CLEARLY 🐑
Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.
1 Peter 2:16 ESV
