Land, Land! Jeremiah 22:29-30
Sisters & Brothers In Jesus,
This Newsletter explores the biblical significance of land in Jeremiah’s proclamation and its application in our modern life.
O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD! Thus says the LORD: ‘Write this man down as childless, a man who shall not succeed in his days, for none of his offspring shall succeed in sitting on the throne of David and ruling again in Judah.’ Jeremiah 22:29-30
“Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years.” —Charles Spurgeon
We are participants in a divine dialogue, a conversation that transcends time and space, a discourse that connects us to the heart of our Creator. Our focus is on a passage from the book of Jeremiah, a prophet who faithfully and fearlessly delivered God’s message to His people. Jeremiah’s words, though they were spoken millennia ago, still resonate with us today, still challenge us, still comfort us, still call us to a deeper relationship with our Lord. In Jeremiah 22:29-30, we read: “O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD! Thus says the LORD: ‘Write this man down as childless, a man who shall not succeed in his days, for none of his offspring shall succeed in sitting on the throne of David and ruling again in Judah.'” This passage may seem distant, perhaps even irrelevant to our modern lives. Yet, within these verses lie profound truths about the biblical significance of land, the relevance of Jeremiah’s proclamation, and how we can apply these land principles in our modern life. Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, once said, “Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years.” This is the wonder of the Word of God – it is timeless, it is alive, it is transformative. It speaks to us in our joy and in our sorrow, in our triumphs and in our trials, in our certainty and in our confusion. It is our guiding light, our source of truth, our wellspring of wisdom. Let us now turn our hearts and minds to the Word of God as we seek to understand the biblical significance of land, the relevance of Jeremiah’s proclamation, and the application of these principles in our modern life. Biblical Significance of Land In the Bible, land is more than just a physical entity; it is a symbol of God’s promise and provision. When God called Abraham out of Ur, He promised him a land flowing with milk and honey. This land, Canaan, was not just a geographical location; it was a tangible representation of God’s covenant with His people. It was a place where they could live in peace and prosperity, where they could worship God freely, where they could grow and multiply. Land, in the biblical sense, is also a place of divine encounter. It was on Mount Moriah that Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son Isaac, demonstrating his unwavering faith and obedience. It was on Mount Sinai that Moses received the Ten Commandments, a divine decree that would guide the Israelites in their relationship with God and with each other. It was on the land of Israel that Jesus performed miracles, preached the good news, and ultimately gave His life for our salvation. Moreover, land is a place of inheritance. The Promised Land was not just for Abraham; it was for his descendants as well. It was a legacy that was passed down from generation to generation, a heritage that was rooted in God’s promise. This inheritance was not just about the physical land; it was about the spiritual blessings that came with it – the presence of God, the provision of God, the protection of God. However, the land also had conditions. The Israelites were to obey God’s commandments and live according to His statutes. If they did, they would enjoy the blessings of the land. If they didn’t, they would face the consequences – exile, famine, defeat. This was not a punitive measure; it was a corrective one. God wanted His people to live in obedience and righteousness, not in rebellion and wickedness. In the context of Jeremiah’s proclamation, the land was under threat because of the disobedience of the king and his people. They had turned away from God, worshipped idols, and oppressed the poor. As a result, God declared that the king would be childless and that none of his descendants would sit on the throne. This was a severe judgment, one that would have far-reaching implications for the land and its people. In our modern life, we may not have a physical land like the Israelites did, but we do have a spiritual land – our relationship with God. This is our promised land, our place of divine encounter, our inheritance. And just like the Israelites, we are called to live in obedience and righteousness. If we do, we will enjoy the blessings of our spiritual land. If we don’t, we will face the consequences. So, as we reflect on the biblical significance of land, let us remember that it is more than just a physical entity; it is a symbol of God’s promise and provision, a place of divine encounter, a legacy of inheritance, and a call to obedience and righteousness. Let us also remember that our spiritual land – our relationship with God – is our most valuable possession, one that we should cherish, nurture, and protect.
Jeremiah’s proclamation in the scripture is a potent message. It’s a message that echoes through the corridors of time, reverberating with a resonance that is as relevant today as it was when first spoken. The prophet Jeremiah, a conduit of divine communication, was tasked with delivering this message to the people of Judah. The first aspect of Jeremiah’s proclamation that we must consider is the context in which it was delivered. Jeremiah was speaking to a people who were in a state of spiritual decline. They had turned away from God, forsaken His commandments, and were pursuing their own desires. Jeremiah’s words were a divine rebuke, a call to repentance. The proclamation was not just a prediction of doom, but a plea for change. In the midst of this spiritual decline, Jeremiah’s words were a stark reminder of the consequences of disobedience. The declaration that the man would be written down as childless and that none of his offspring would succeed in sitting on the throne of David was a direct result of their disobedience. This was not a random punishment, but a direct consequence of their actions. The second aspect of Jeremiah’s proclamation that we must consider is its prophetic nature. Jeremiah was not merely a social commentator or a political analyst. He was a prophet, a mouthpiece of God. His words were not his own, but those of the Lord. This proclamation was not just a statement of fact, but a prophetic utterance. It was a glimpse into the future, a revelation of what was to come. This prophetic nature of Jeremiah’s proclamation underscores the sovereignty of God. It reminds us that God is in control, that He knows the end from the beginning, and that His plans and purposes will prevail. This is a comforting truth, especially in times of uncertainty and turmoil. The third aspect of Jeremiah’s proclamation that we must consider is its personal nature. Jeremiah’s words were not just a general announcement to the masses, but a personal message to the individual. The man who was to be written down as childless was not just a faceless figure, but a real person with real feelings and real fears. This personal nature of Jeremiah’s proclamation underscores the personal nature of our relationship with God. God is not a distant deity, but a personal God who knows us intimately and cares for us deeply. He speaks to us not just through grand proclamations, but through personal messages that touch our hearts and transform our lives.
Now, let’s take a closer look at a key term from our main scripture passage. The term “succeed” in the original Hebrew is “tsalach.” This word carries the connotations of advancing, prospering, making progress. It’s used in various other passages in the Bible, such as in Joshua 1:8, where it’s said that meditating on God’s law day and night will make one’s way prosperous (tsalach). In Psalm 1:3, the righteous person is likened to a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither – whatever they do prospers (tsalach). The fourth aspect of Jeremiah’s proclamation that we must consider is its universal application. Jeremiah’s words were not just relevant to the people of Judah, but to all people in all times. The principles contained in this proclamation are universal in nature. They apply to us today just as much as they did to the people of Judah. This universal application of Jeremiah’s proclamation underscores the timeless nature of God’s Word. The Bible is not just a historical document, but a living and active word that speaks to us today. It is relevant to our lives, applicable to our situations, and transformative in its power. The fifth and final aspect of Jeremiah’s proclamation that we must consider is its transformative potential. Jeremiah’s words were not just informative, but transformative. They were not just meant to be heard, but to be heeded. They were not just meant to inform, but to transform. This transformative potential of Jeremiah’s proclamation underscores the transformative power of God’s Word. The Bible is not just a book to be read, but a message to be lived. It is not just a source of information, but a catalyst for transformation. It has the power to change our lives, to shape our character, and to mold us into the image of Christ.
As we move into the heart of our discussion, let us consider the relevance of ‘land’ in the Bible. The Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is replete with references to land. Land, in the biblical sense, is more than just a geographical location or a piece of property. It is a place of promise, a place of provision, a place of presence. It is where God’s covenant with His people is actualized, where His blessings are manifested, and where His presence is experienced. The first man, Adam, was placed in the Garden of Eden, a land flowing with everything he needed. Abraham was called out of his homeland to a land that God would show him, a land that would become the inheritance of his descendants. The Israelites, after years of bondage in Egypt, were led to a land flowing with milk and honey. The land, in these instances, was not just a physical place but a spiritual reality, a tangible expression of God’s faithfulness to His promises. In the modern context, we may not be called to physically move to a new land like Abraham or the Israelites. But we are called to live in the land of God’s promises, to dwell in the land of His provision, to inhabit the land of His presence. This is not a land that can be located on a map or owned as a property. It is a spiritual land, a land that we enter through faith in Christ, a land that we inhabit as we walk in obedience to His Word. As we live in this land, we experience God’s promises in our lives. We see His provision in our needs. We feel His presence in our journey. We become living testimonies of His faithfulness, His goodness, His love. The renowned Christian author, C.S. Lewis, once said, “The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one’s ‘own,’ or ‘real’ life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life—the life God is sending one day by day.” This quote beautifully encapsulates the idea of living in the land of God’s promises, provision, and presence. The challenges, the interruptions, the unexpected turns in our journey are not detours from the land but part of the land itself. They are the terrain that shapes us, the soil that nurtures us, the landscape that reveals the depth of God’s love for us. As we navigate this land, we are not alone. We have the Word of God as our map, the Holy Spirit as our guide, and the community of believers as our companions. We learn to trust in God’s promises, to rely on His provision, to rest in His presence. We learn to see every circumstance, every situation, every moment as an opportunity to experience God, to grow in faith, to shine His light. So, let us live in the land of God’s promises, provision, and presence. Let us walk in faith, in obedience, in love. Let us be the people of the land, the people of God. Let us be the living testimonies of His faithfulness, His goodness, His love. Let us be the bearers of His promises, the recipients of His provision, the dwellers of His presence. Let us be the inhabitants of the land, the land that is more than just a geographical location or a piece of property, the land that is a spiritual reality, a tangible expression of God’s faithfulness to His promises.
Let’s remember that the Word of God is not just a historical document or a religious text. It’s a living, breathing message from our Creator, a love letter from the heart of God. It’s as relevant today as it was when Jeremiah walked the earth. Our God is not a distant deity, but a close and personal Father who cares about every detail of our lives. He knows our struggles, our fears, our dreams, and our desires. He’s with us in every season, in every circumstance, in every moment. The land principles are not just about physical territories; they’re about the territory of our hearts. God wants to rule and reign in our hearts. He wants to plant seeds of faith, hope, and love in the soil of our souls. He wants to cultivate a harvest of righteousness, peace, and joy in our lives. He wants to establish His kingdom within us, a kingdom not of this world, but of His heavenly realm. So, let’s open our hearts to Him. Let’s surrender our lives to Him. Let’s allow His Word to shape us, to guide us, to transform us. Let’s trust in His goodness, in His love, in His grace. Let’s remember that we are His beloved children, heirs to His eternal kingdom, recipients of His divine promises. Let’s pray for us to decrease and for Him to increase in our hearts and minds, for His Kingdom to come and His Will to be done on Earth, as It Is In HEAVEN. Don’t forget October 2-4 is Rosh Ha’Shanah (Jewish New Year), the National Prayer Assembly is the tenth & eleventh in Washington, October 11-12 is Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), the 12th is a ‘Million Women’ at The Mall in DC & Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) is October 16-23!

While most of the world celebrated a ‘NEW’-born babe, wrapped in swaddling clothes, placed in a feeding trough, The Perfect Gift Of God, given to ALL that He Loves, I couldn’t get over how quickly we passed from 2023 to the present, but may have missed The Presence!
The word “new” in the Bible has multiple meanings:
Chadhash
In the Old Testament, the word “chadhash” is commonly translated as “new” and means “fresh,” “bright,” or “new”.
Newness
For Paul, “newness” implies resurrection. It can also refer to the new age, or the kingdom of God that comes with Jesus.
New creation
Paul wrote that “if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Cor 5:17).
New heavens and a new earth
John looks for new heavens and a new earth because the first ones have passed away (Rev 21:1).
Other Bible verses that mention a new beginning include:
Ephesians 4:22-24
Lamentations 3:22-23
Isaiah 43:18-19
2 Corinthians 4:16-17
Genesis 1:31a
Colossians 3:9-11
Revelation 21:1-3
Personally, I was born in ‘NEW’-ark, ‘NEW’ Jersey, got saved and baptized in ‘NEW’ Milford, moved to ‘NEW’ Mexico, have been a ‘NEW’ creation in Christ, since 1982, am presently celebrating the ‘NEW’ Year 2024, after celebrating the ‘NEW” Year 5784, in September 2023 and I’m literally heading toward the spring to celebrate the death of our Passover Lamb, Jesus, which God told Moses (*Exodus 12:2 says, “This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year”.) would be ‘raised up’ and take away our sins, as far as the east is to the west and never to be brought up again, cast into the sea of forgetfulness and the proof is His resurrection that Sunday, on the feast of first fruits, counting 50 days up to Pentecost, when the promise of The Father, His Holy Spirit was poured out on all flesh!
The ‘This Is [the beginning of] That,’ of Joel 2, proclaimed by The Apostle Peter in Acts 2, is still being played out in our day, which is why I believe the enemy is going after our children today, because Herod couldn’t wait to kill the babies in Bethlehem, when Messiah was born and Satan wants to distort The Truth Of God’s Word, by taking away the true identity of the sons and daughters, who God says are going to prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels], he doesn’t want the young men to see visions (divinely granted appearances) or the old men to dream ‘divinely suggested’ dreams. The accuser of the brethren and the sisterhood does not want the men & women servants of God to prophecy [telling forth, predicting future events pertaining especially to God’s kingdom].
I don’t know about you, but I’m waiting for a ‘NEW’ Heaven and a ‘NEW’ Earth, according to Isaiah 65:17 and in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the last book of the bible, God’s going to give us a ‘NEW’ name and He’s making everything ‘NEW’ – Revelation 21:5. Jeremiah prophesied of the ‘NEW’ Covenant, which Hebrews tells us is the ‘NEW’ & Better Covenant, so I leave you with the below scriptures to read and meditate on + a footnote at the bottom of this page to prayerfully consider, but please understand, The Word Of God states that no one scripture stands on it’s own interpretation, so like Job’s friends, I would say their words are certainly true, from their own perspective, but not Holy Spirit Truth and for all Solomon’s Wisdom, we all fall short of the glory, but clearly there are many ‘NEW’ things recorded in Holy Script, pointing to ‘NEW’ things that happened, are happening and those that will happen and that’s The Truth!
PLEASE, Prayerfully consider joining us for the 21 Days of Prayer online and via phone, from January 1-21, 2024 (information is available @ https://www.christianbody.net ) 6:30-8:30pm MT, 5:30-7:30pm PT & 8:30-10:30pm EST – a ’21 Days Of Prayer’ Prayer Guide is available for FREE @ https://www.projectpray.org , so Invite EVERYONE you know from EVERYWHERE, across America & around the World, as we pray for a true spiritual awakening and revival to come to the USA, Israel and the World in 2024 + prayerfully consider taking on the 30 Minute Prayer Challenge @ https://www.prayerattheheart.org – for those living in ‘NEW’ Mexico, if you or someone you know would like to hold a prayer gathering in or around our state, don’t hesitate to contact me!

Ezekiel 11:19
I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them;
Ezekiel 36:26
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you;
Isaiah 40:31
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
Revelation 43:19
See, I am doing a new thing!
*Ezekiel 40:1 contains a phrase, “the head of the year” (KJV) or “the beginning of the year” (New King James Version [NKJV]), in concert with a date, the tenth day of the month, which Judaism identifies as Tishri, making this the Day of Atonement. In this above statement out of Holy Script, I would ask the question, “Why does ‘Judaism’ still celebrate ‘The Head Of The Year’ in the fall, when God clearly told Moses in Exodus 12:2 that from now on it would be in the spring @ Passover?”

“It Is Finished!” December 2023 NM Prayer Connect/PATH, NM/COG, NM & El Paso, TX Newsletter:
Sisters & Brothers in Jesus,
As we enter into the final stretch of our ‘running the race’ in 2023 and look ahead toward the New Year 2024, we have much to be thankful for and whether we had a so called good or bad year, God is still on the throne, worthy of all glory, honor and praise! Some of us are grateful just to get through another year by the skin of our teeth, while others accomplished great things and some had losses, but Jesus Christ remains The Same, yesterday, today and forever. There is no shadow of darkness in Him, because He is The Light Of Life, Who lights the light of all humankind and those of us who are born-again, into His family, are called to be the salt and light to this sick and dying world, bringing hope to the hopeless, because He is the only hope we have, the Biblical Hope beyond the veil, the Hope of Israel, Hope of the nations, Hope of the world and the Hope that will not disappoint us!
So, we enter into the festival of lights, Hanukkah, celebrate the birth of the Jewish Messiah, the Christ, sent by the Father, because He loves us and wishes none would perish, but that all would come unto Him to receive the greatest gift ever given. New Year’s Eve will finish off 2023 and usher in a New Year, 2024, when resolutions and promises will be made, some brought to the full and others left empty on our own, but with Him, all things are possible and He promises to go before us, while His goodness, tender-mercies and loving kindness follow us all the days of our life!
As we gather together to worship the babe in the manger and praise The ONE, Who is seated at the right hand of The Father, let us not forget how He got there, by The Way of The Cross. It was there that The Lamb Of God was sacrificed, shed His Blood, His innocent life to pay for our sins, guilt & shame. He became sin, so that we could become the righteousness of God in Him and when He completed the great exchange proclaimed, “It Is Finished!” So, according to the book of Hebrews, The New & Better Covenant (prophesied in Jeremiah & Ezekiel) went into effect the very moment Yeshua/Jesus gave up the ghost, as stated in the King James Bible and died, for it is at the death of the testator that the will is activated, meaning that the New Covenant did not begin in Matthew 1:1, but the moment after Messiah/Christ breathed His last, but that topic will have to be further examined at another time, perhaps next year.
For December, Gerard Long (Facilitator of http://prayerattheheart.org ) will be casting his vision for ½ hour a week prayer groups in homes, the marketplace & churches, starting in 2024 on ‘The Voice of ONE’ program @christianbody.net Wednesday the 6th @9am MT. On the 13th the ‘Ask The Pastor International’ broadcast will kick off its premier at 9:30am MT/7:30pm in Kenya, Africa & the 18th @2pm MT starts the every third Monday, once a month prayer Zoom for The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem in Israel.
Start January 2024 off right with Project Pray’s/America’s Prayer Meeting, ’21 Days Of Prayer,’ 6:30pm MT @FreeConferenceCall.com and join us LIVE on https://www.christianbody.net The Official Kickoff date for the reboot of New Mexico’s Longest Running Live Radio Call-In Program, ‘Ask The Pastor NM’ is on Wednesday, January 3rd @9:30am MT/7:30pm in Kenya, Africa, Primetime & broadcasting live on KATV, as the all new ‘Ask The Pastor International’ program, so invite others and spread the word!
If you or someone you know would like to have a prayer event in or around New Mexico, don’t hesitate to contact me. We’re hoping to complete the ‘Prayer At The Heart’ of New Mexico County events and within all 23 tribal nations in 2024 + the 12 counties that have held their events will be looking to be in the heart of each city this year. El Paso, TX will be hosting a PATH Gathering with representatives from MX, USA & Canada + The Korean Intercessors are returning to NM in May and an NBA Prayer Breakfast will be held internationally in July, during the draft week in Las Vegas, Nevada, so if you’re a basketball player of any age, fan, coach or team owner, stay tuned for more details to come. May you and yours have a wonderful Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!
Shalom,
Mark Tross

Subject:‘The Kingdom Is In The Midst Of You!’ November 2023 NM Prayer Connect, PATH-NM, COG-NM & El Paso, TX!
For Behold, The Kingdom Of God Is Within You [In Your Hearts] And Among You [Surrounding You] (AMP). – Luke 17:21b
Sisters & Brothers In Jesus,
Paul the Apostle tells us that the Kingdom of God is Righteousness, Peace & JOY In The Holy Spirit! Matthew 4:17 calls us to Repentance, which is a Gift of God and Proclaims that “The Kingdom Of Heaven Is At Hand.” Jesus also in Mark 1:15 stated The Same, as well as in Matthew 3:2 & 4:17 and even in the Beatitudes of Matthew 5:3 says, even the humble, those poor in spirit, who rate themselves insignificant are Blessed, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. In Matthew 10, Jesus summoned to Himself, His Disciples, to GO & PREACH, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand!”
Are you a ‘Disciple,’ follower of Christ? If HE is no respecter of persons, then The Same requirements HE put on HIS Disciples then are expected of us today, because HE Is The Same, Yesterday, Today & Forever/Eternally. HE Himself said to HIS Disciples in the upper room, on Resurrection Sunday evening, “Just As The Father Sent Me, So I AM Sending You, GO & DO Likewise!” Imagine having ALL Power & Authority, as a King or High Priest, now Believe that this is true of you, because God says it is and He can not lie, so what are you going to do with ALL of this? Obedience always brings God’s Blessings, so let’s trust and obey, cause there’s no other way to be happy In JESUS! Under His Anointing, that breaks down every yoke of sin and bondage, GO & DO Likewise, according to His Word, Will & Way.
There’s nothing hidden or buried here, no mystery that has not been revealed, so see the kingdom, because your eyes have been opened, seek the kingdom, because The Hope that is set before you will not disappoint, He Is The Hope Of Israel, The Hope Of The Nations & The Hope Of The World, so follow The King, because He is with you and for you, He promises to go before you, He has your rear guard, He is beside you, on your right and left + you are guaranteed to see His Goodness, Tender Mercies & Loving Kindness, following you ALL The Days Of Your LIFE, HE’s moving upon, in and through you by HIS Holy Spirit, The Comforter, Who will lead and guide you into ALL Truth & Understanding, so you can accomplish The Works HE has prepared for you to do, before the foundations of this earth were created and as each and every believer does their part, we will come into The FULLNESS Of GOD!

HE Himself said to HIS Disciples in the upper room, on Resurrection Sunday evening, “Just As The Father Sent Me, So I AM Sending You, GO & DO Likewise!” Imagine having ALL Power & Authority, as a King or High Priest, now Believe that this is true of you, because God says it is and He can not lie, so what are you going to do with ALL of this? Obedience always brings God’s Blessings, so let’s trust and obey, cause there’s no other way to be happy In JESUS! Under His Anointing, that breaks down every yoke of sin and bondage, GO & DO Likewise, according to His Word, Will & Way. There’s nothing hidden or buried here, no mystery that has not been revealed, so see the kingdom, because your eyes have been opened, seek the kingdom, because The Hope that is set before you will not disappoint, He Is The Hope Of Israel, The Hope Of The Nations & The Hope Of The World, so follow The King, because He is with you and for you, He promises to go before you, He has your rear guard, He is beside you, on your right and left + you are guaranteed to see His Goodness, Tender Mercies & Loving Kindness, following you ALL The Days Of Your LIFE, HE’s moving upon, in and through you by HIS Holy Spirit, The Comforter, Who will lead and guide you into ALL Truth & Understanding, so you can accomplish The Works HE has prepared for you to do, before the foundations of this earth were created and as each and every believer does their part, we will come into The FULLNESS Of GOD!

Matthew 20:16 Amplified Bible
16 So those who are last [in this world] shall be first [in the world to come], and those who are first, last.”
Mark 2:27
Amplified Bible
27 Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
Sisters & Brothers In Messiah/Christ/The Anointed ONE,
As we enter into ‘The Fall’ of the Biblical New Year, the colors of the leaves are changing, the temperatures are cooling down and our days will be getting shorter, but are we really, spiritually determining the times and seasons that we are living in? In Exodus 12:2, Adonai/The LORD says to Moses & Aaron, “This [a]month shall be the beginning of months to you; it is to be the first month of the year to you (AMP).”
Notice The Quotation Marks! GOD/Elohim Is Saying to Moses, representing God and Aaron, His Mouthpiece & High Priest (The Type & Shadow of The ONE/Messiah/Christ to Come, as High Priest Of The Tribe Of JUDAH), that from Now On, THIS, Passover, was going to be “The Head Of The Biblical Year.” Talk about the first being last and the last being first, as The Apostle Peter proclaimed, the culmination of ALL things are coming together, as ONE, In HIM! ALL the types and shadows, throughout the ages, The Law, Prophets, Psalms & Proverbs are pointing us to The ONE, leading and guiding us, like a schoolmaster to Yeshua/Jesus/Salvation, Our Shalom/Peace, calling us to, “Come Unto ME & Enter Into Your Rest/Shabbat/Sabbath!”
Are you hearing what The Holy Spirit Of GOD Is Saying to The Church/Ecclesia/Ekklesia/The Congregation/Called Out ONE’s Today? HE Is Making ALL Things NEW, pouring out, into New Wine Skins, New Holy Ghost/Spirit Wine, Unlike (Not At All Like) The Law, given on the mountain to Moses, Israel and the Mixed Multitudes that were delivered from the land of Egypt. Not Abolished, but FULFILLED by The Promised SON, The ONE, Who has taken down the dividing walls and enmity between Jew and Gentile, male, female, slave/bond servant and those who have been set free by The Truth and ALL, who are truly set FREE Indeed by The SON of The Father/Barabbas!
Since I Am writing this to You on Yom Kippur/The Day of Atonement (At-ONE-Meant), a time of Kaparah/sacrifice, Tefilah (prayer), Teshuvah (repentance) and Tzedakah (charity/LOVE), may we all go deeper, higher, wider, longer, onward and upward, toward The Prophetic Word of Zechariah 8:19 & 13:1 (even into The New & Better Covenant of Faith, as described in Hebrews), turning our fasts into Feasts of Great Joyfulness, Gladness & Happiness, Loving GOD’s Truth & Shalom/Peace, The Fountain, which has been Opened to The House Of David, The Inhabitants Of Jerusalem, ALL Nations, Peoples, Tribes & Tongues, to cleanse us from sin and impurity. Yeshua/Jesus Is The Ultimate Sacrifice, still constantly Interceding at The Right Hand Of The Father, praying on our behalf, wishing NONE would perish, but that ALL would come unto HIM, for HE Is Our Repentance, The Gift Of GOD to The WORLD, that HE So LOVED, even unto death, not just to cover our sins for another year, but for Expiation/Propitiation, the Removal of sin, Complete and Total forgiveness, cleansing, disannulling, pardoning, purging and assuaging, overcoming sin and death FOREVER, so that we could have Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection LIFE, In, Of, By, For, Through & To HIM!

Whose Side Are You On? August 2023 NM Prayer Connect/PATH, NM/COG, NM & El Paso, TX Newsletter!
Joshua 24:15 If it is unacceptable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” AMP
Sisters & Brothers In The Anointed ONE/Messiah/Christ, Coming to Sandia Peak/Crest on Thursday, August 24th is The Rooftop Encounter, followed by Friday, Saturday & Sunday at Balloon Fiesta Park, for the Jesus Gathering and Prayer At The Heart Of Bernalillo County, so be sure to invite everyone you know, in and around the state of New Mexico, to come and attend this historic, biblical gathering of believers! Did you know that there are 100 scripture verses in The Word Of God, referencing, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord?” Here are just a few: Deuteronomy 30:19; 1 Kings 18:21 & 2 Peter 3:9. Four times in the above portion of Holy Script, The Spirit Of God emphasizes “serve,” which literally means, “Worship,” yet there are still people today who find the thought of worshipping/serving The ONE True God, as unacceptable! Jesus says, “You are either for Me or against Me, there is no neutral ground!” There are 56 verses in The Bible about Jannes and Jambres, Korah, Dathan & Abiram as well:
2 Timothy 3:8 Just as Jannes and Jambres [the court magicians of Egypt] opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, unqualified and worthless [as teachers] in regard to the faith (AMP);
Numbers 16:31 As soon as Moses finished speaking all these words, the ground under them split open; 32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households, and all the men who supported Korah, with all their possessions. 33 So they and all that belonged to them went down alive to Sheol; and the earth closed over them, and they perished from among the assembly (AMP).
The choice is yours, separation of the wheat and the tares is not only coming, but Yeshua/Jesus, Our Salvation is coming again soon, so choose wisely, because the time is short and the days are evil, so don’t oppose The Truth/Yeshua/Jesus! Also on August 5-6, Without Spot or Wrinkle Ministries is having a ‘Spiritual Boot Camp,’ with Dr. Patricia Venegas, Director, Pastor, author and conference speaker, from 10am-5pm at the Sheraton Albuquerque Uptown, so enlist today @ 909-593-2607 (we’ll be interviewing her on The Forum, Wednesday, August 2 from 9:30-10:30am @christianbody.net & @christianbody.tv). Looking forward to September 16th, Chavez & Mora County are holding their PATH gatherings (Visit @christianbody.tv and/or @christianbody.net for further information and to register) & September 23rd PATH of Rio Arriba County + ‘Awake Israel’ at New Life Church Of God on Aztec in ABQ, just off of Carlisle (during the 10 Days of Awe – visit 10Days.net) and MORE to Come in October/November, so if you or someone you know would like to hold a prayer event in your area, don’t hesitate to contact me!

28 It was the same as it was in the days of Lot. People were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building [carrying on business as usual, without regard for their sins]; 29 but on the [very] day that Lot left Sodom it rained fire and brimstone (burning sulfur) from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, whoever is on the housetop, with his belongings in the house, must not come down [and go inside] to take them out; and likewise whoever is in the field must not turn back. 32 Remember [what happened to] Lot’s wife [when she looked back]! 33 Whoever seeks to save his [e]life will [eventually] lose it [through death], and whoever loses his life [in this world] will keep it [from the consequences of sin and separation from God]. 34 I tell you, on that night [when Messiah comes again] there will be two [sleeping] in one bed; the [f]one (the non-believer) will be taken [away in judgment] and the [g]other (the believer) will be left. 35 There will be two women grinding [at the mill] together; the [h]one (the non-believer) will be taken [away in judgment] and the other (the believer) will be left. 36 [i][Two men will be in the field; [j]one will be taken and the other will be left.”] 37 And they asked Him, “Where, Lord?” He answered, “Where the corpse is, there the vultures will be gathered.”
The Amplified Bible
2 Peter 2:7
and if He rescued righteous Lot, who was tormented by the immoral conduct of unprincipled and ungodly men and if He rescued righteous Lot, who was tormented by the immoral conduct of unprincipled and ungodly men
Sisters & Brothers In Jesus/Yeshua/Salvation,
July will be a Jam-PACKED Month, with Prayer At The Heart gatherings happening every weekend + Join us for the filming of the documentary at 10 Commandments Rock/The Decalogue Stone on Mystery/Hidden Mountain, west of Los Lunas, Friday & Saturday, July 28-29. We need your daily prayers and cooperation in getting the word out about all of these events, so invite others and spread the word, but above all, ATTEND! For more information, to register and/or contribute financially VISIT: @christianbody.tv & @christianbody.net
The above portions of Holy Script are of extreme importance for us to prayerfully consider and meditate on, for spiritual discernment and application in this present world of darkness that we’re living in, but not of, for God has called us out of darkness and into His Marvelous Light, making us new creations In Him, the salt and light of the earth! He’s not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance, so we must seek His Face for His strategic gameplan to accomplish the works He has called each and every one of us to do in these last hours.
Juliet and I were privileged to be part of the PATH event in Cleveland, Ohio last month and are presently preparing for the Valencia County Rooftop Encounter on Friday, June 30th, PATH on July 1st, Cibola County PATH at Fire & Ice Park on Saturday, July 8th, Lincoln County PATH on the 15th, San Miguel County PATH on the 22nd + the 28th-29th with folks from AZ & TX coming in to film a documentary on 10 Commandments Rock. I won’t overwhelm you with the details of August 25th-27th at Balloon Fiesta Park for Bernalillo County PATH, September 16th on the courthouse lawn in Roswell, NM for Chavez County PATH, but we will be at the Pray California event in CA come October + be in prayer for John & Lori Robb, as they’ll be travelling to CO & Washington State for strategic prayer initiatives this month.
God is clearly on the move in our state, across America and around the world, so don’t miss Him, because the time is short! We’re working diligently to gather together, as one In Messiah/Christ/The Anointed ONE, for worship, prayer & fellowship at Prayer At The Heart events in 2023 at the center of all 33 counties and 23 Tribal Nations here in New Mexico and hopefully holding gatherings for PATH in every city, come 2024, so if you or someone you know would like to hold a prayer event in or around NM, don’t hesitate to contact me. We already have requests to go to Deming and El Paso, TX, but desperately need your prayer support, contributions and cooperation, servant leaders, workers for the fields, because they are ripe for an abundant harvest!
Blessings,
Mark Tross
