1. THE CYCLES OF GOD
KEYS TO INCREASE AND
BLESSING

2. • LEV 23
23 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 24 Speak unto the
children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day
of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of
trumpets, an holy convocation. 25 Ye shall do no servile work
therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the
Lord.
26 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 27 Also on the tenth
day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it
shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your
souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
34 . . .The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of
tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord

3. GOD HAD GIVEN HIS PEOPLE A DETAILED
YEARLY CYCLE OF EVENTS . . . A BIBLICAL CALENDAR!
• NOT JUST HOLIDAYS OR JEWISH RITUALS
• THEY WERE SET TIMES TO MEET WITH GOD!
• THEY WERE APPOINTED TIMES FOR SPECIFIC SPIRITUAL
TRANSACTIONS TO TAKE PLACE BETWEEN GOD AND HIS
PEOPLE
• SPECIFIC BLESSINGS PROMISED TO THOSE WHO OBSERVE

4. GOD HAD GIVEN HIS PEOPLE A DETAILED
YEARLY CYCLE OF EVENTS . . . A BIBLICAL CALENDAR!
• THESE WERE NOT JUST FOR JEWS!
• ZECHARIAH PROMISES BLESSING FOR GENTILES WHO
WILL OBSERVE GOD’S FEASTS.
Zech 8:22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of
hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord. 23 Thus saith the Lord of
hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of
all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a
Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

5. GOD HAD GIVEN HIS PEOPLE A DETAILED
YEARLY CYCLE OF EVENTS . . . A BIBLICAL CALENDAR!
• JESUS and APOSTLES FOLLOWED THE FEASTS!
• MANY NEW TESTAMENT EVENTS OCCURRED IN CONTEXT
OF THESE FEASTS.
JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED AT PASSOVER!
JESUS WAS BURRIED AT UNLEAVENED BREAD
JESUS WAS RAISED ON FIRSTFRUITS!
THE SPIRIT FELL ON PENTECOST!

6. GOD HAD GIVEN HIS PEOPLE A DETAILED
YEARLY CYCLE OF EVENTS . . . A BIBLICAL CALENDAR!
• EARLY CHURCH CONSIDERED FEASTS VERY IMPORTANT
• PAUL PLANNED THE ITENERARY OF HIS MISSIONARY
JOURNEYS AROUND THE FEASTS!
ACTS 20:6 And we (PAUL) sailed away from Philippi after the days of
unleavened bread.
16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not
spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at
Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

7. PAUL TOOK THE FEASTS VERY SERIOUSLY
• HIS EPISTLES HAVE MANY REFERENCES TO THE
FEASTS
• IN WRITING TO GENTILE CHURCHES, PAUL ASSUMES
HE IS WRITING TO PEOPLE WHO CELEBRATE THE
FEASTS!
• About PURITY OF LIFE:
1 COR 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as
ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the
leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of
sincerity and truth.
• About RESURRECTION:
1 COR 15: 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the
firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man came death, by man
came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so

8. GOD WANTS US TO KNOW
HIS CALENDAR
• MUCH OF THE BIBLE IS DEVOTED TO DETAILED
REVELATION OF GOD’S APPOINTED TIMES
• GOD SET THESE TIMES AND DIDN’T CHANGE IT
• SIGN OF THE ANTICHRIST:
DAN 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall
wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws
• IN THE DARK AGES – CHURCH SWITCHED TO ROMAN
CALENDAR
• BUT GOD DIDN’T
• WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS DOING, WE
NEED TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING ON HIS
CALENDAR
TO UNDERSTAND GOD’S APPOINTED TIMES WE NEED
TO UNDERSTAND THE CYCLES OF GOD!

23. CYCLES
GOD WANTS US TO
BREAK OUT OF OUR
CYCLE OF
DESTRUCTION
AND INTO HIS CYCLE OF
BLESSINGS

24. CYCLES
WHAT HOLDS US IN AN OLD CYCLE?
OLD FORMS OF SECURITY: Old cycle is FAMILIAR.
People don’t want to give up things that hold them in
bondage (poverty, drugs, … friendships . . .)
OLD HABITS: Need to learn new ways to respond. If
you only do what you have always done. . . You will
only have what you always had!
OLD WAYS OF THINKING: We must learn new ways of
understanding, talking, relating (Poverty Cycle:
Poverty is not lack of money . . . it is a mindset!)
REFUSAL TO REPENT: (Renounce and turn from old
ways!) To break out of old cycle, ask God: “How do
You want me to CHANGE?)

25. CYCLES
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, GOD ESTABLISHED
CYCLES IN THE LIVES OF HIS PEOPLE
1ST Cycle was a
WEEKLY
“SHABBAT” cycle.
Established in Genesis
1
At Creation of the
WorldGOD PROMISED TO INVADE YOUR LIFE:
Isa 58:14: “You will find your joy in the LORD, and I
will cause you to ride on the heights of the land and
you will feast on inheritance of your father Jacob!”
every week,
take a day to
rest from labors
and enjoy God’s
blessings

26. CYCLES
GOD ALSO GAVE HIS PEOPLE a
YEARLY CYCLE of LIFE
It was designed to take them through key steps
to deepen their walk with the Lord, break the
power of the enemy, and release the power of
God!
Repeating this cycle every year was designed to
bring them into an ever-increasing experience
of God’s blessing, and increasing victory over
the enemy

27. GOD’S YEARLY CYCLE
WHEN YOU CELEBRATE THESE . . .
GOD WILL BREAK IN!
Deut 16:15 “For seven days celebrate the festival to the Lord your
God at the place the Lord will choose. For the Lord your God will
bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and

28. APPOINTED TIMES create RHYTHM in our
LIVESThey align our lives with God’s creative rhythm
and cause us to RESONATE with His timing
It causes us to be in sync with rhythm of God
It helps us be at the right time and right place!
It causes us not to miss windows of opportunity!
That’s why it’s KEY to Understanding the TIMES
Most have been ingorant of God’s Appointed Times
Let’s Learn to LIVE in God’s TIME
CYCLES

29. JEREMIAH 29:11

30. ECCLESIASTES 3:1-8
To EVERYTHING there is a SEASON, and AN
APPOINTED TIME for every purpose under heaven:-
A time to be born and a time to die,
A time to plant and a time to uproot,
A time to kill and a time to heal,
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
A time to weep and a time to laugh,
A time to mourn and a time to dance.
A time to keep and a time to throw
away. . .

31. The BIBLE teaches that God has a detailed PLAN for our
lives!
This plan includes key APPOINTED TIMES in
which He desires to accomplish certain things
for us.

32. God has MANY KINDS of Appointed Times.
APPOINTED TIMES
SOME ARE “ONE TIME” EVENTS
Only one time to be physically BORN
and only one time to DIE
SOME ARE REPEATED EVENTS
They recur every time around a cycle.
Every new year brings a new time to
PLANT and a new time to REAP.
SOME APPOINTED TIMES REPEAT SO
REGULARLY THEY FORM A CALENDAR
In the Bible God gives us a yearly calendar of these
appointed times.

33. THIS CALENDAR OF APPOINTED TIMES IS VERY
IMPORTANT
APPOINTED TIMES
• A GREAT DEAL OF Scripture is devoted to it.
• Wonderful promises to those who keep it.
• Many examples given in the Word. And yet . . .
• Most Christians are totally IGNORANT of it!
APPOINTED TIMES are also called “FEASTS”
Not just “HOLIDAYS” or “RITUALS”
They are times set by God to accomplish certain things in
our lives!
THEY ARE LITERALLY, “APPOINTMENTS” with GOD

34. Exo 23: 14 “Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in
the year.
3 MAIN APPONTED TIMES
IN GOD’S CALENDAR
Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread:
(Passover)
And the feast of harvest (Pentecost)
and the feast of ingathering (Tabernacles)
THREE TIMES A YEAR all the men are to appear before
the Sovereign LORD”

45. GOD’S YEARLY CYCLE
Here’s our Problem
We know all about TRADITIONAL Holidays
MAYO UNO
INDEPENDENCE DAY
SINCO de NOVEMBRE,
NEW YEARS
BUT WE DON’T UNDERSTAND THE
APPOINTED TIMES OF GOD
We don’t’ know WHAT they are!
We don’t know WHEN they are!
We have no idea how to CELEBRATE them
To enter into the purposes of GOD

46. We are not being legalistic!
There is no punishment for us for not observing
them!YOU ARE FREE TO CELEBRATE
OR NOT CELEBRATE A FEAST
BUT . . . If we miss our appointed times,
we can end up out of synch with GOD
We ‘ll FAST when God wants us to FEAST . . .
We can miss our windows of opportunity . . .
We will have a hard time coming into the
blessings God has for us!
