LIFE AND LIGHT APOSTOLIC ASSEMBLY
Saturday, OCTOBER 1ST --- Saturday, OCTOBER 8TH, 2011
10:00 A.M. DAILY
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: “ Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” Revelation 7:9-12 (NKJV)
Come and be Richly Blessed!

It is indeed a pleasure to welcome you to our annual celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles. This is a time to celebrate God’s Goodness and renew our commitment to God.
During this period, we have a very special opportunity to worship God, fellowship, and rejoice for eight days with our brethren away from the toils and cares of everyday life. Let us therefore diligently prepare ourselves both physically and spiritually to enjoy this wonderful time God has given us for much needed physical and spiritual rejuvenation, and restoration of our zeal and enthusiasm for the Lord
The Feast of Tabernacles speaks of the messianic Kingdom: a new life without the ravages of the curse of sin, when righteousness will become a reality in the earth. The Feast also portrays life, as it will be in God’s millennial Kingdom when he gathers the remnant of His people together. The Lord will not only gather his people, but He will tabernacle in their midst: “ My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed, I will be their God, and they shall be My people. The nations also will know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore” (Ezek. 37:27-28; cf. Rev.21: 3).
During the Feast, we are called to rejoice before the Lord and worship Him in the beauty of holiness. We must bring our gifts to the Lord in appreciation for all that He has done for us. We must also offer ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto the Lord. As we yield ourselves to God, seek His guidance and commit to moving forward with Him, our lives will be richly blessed in the days and months ahead. Peace be unto you.
Pastor Mark C. Boyce
THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES
Celebrating God’s Goodness and Recommitting Our Lives To His Service
Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for
His wonderful works to the children of men! Ps. 107:8 NKJV
But I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.” Jonah 2:9 NKJV
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

SUGGESTED READINGS:
THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES
“PRAY AND FAST FOR A Fruitful Year”
During the Feast, everyone is encouraged to devote time to reading the Bible, prayer and fasting, which causes one to become more spiritually sensitive to the Lord, causing more power into one’s life to combat the forces of satan. Fasting with prayer acts as a refining fire that burns out bad thoughts, criticism, envy, and hatred, allowing us to be filled with love and compassion. Through meditation, prayer and fasting, the Holy Spirit awakens and renews our minds and reveals the Word of God to us in ways that we can never imagine. When we fast, God responds to our willingness to humble ourselves and releases His mercy and grace. (“If any man will come unto me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me….” – ( Luke 9: 23, 24)
