Rosh Hashanah - Year 5768
Cheryl Birch Ministries, Inc.
In seeking the Lord regarding this New Year 5768 He spoke to me three things.

First I saw a banner flying over us that reads Evangelism

Then He gave me a song and the word Commitment

Lastly He spoke the word Catapult

His goal for the church this year is to have them set aside all fear and acknowledge that their main purpose is to win souls for Christ and
make disciples
Jesus clearly told us what to do.

Matthew 28:18-19
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Mark 16:15-18
And He said to them, “ Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved;
but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons;
they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they
will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

The body of Christ in the US has been doing a great job at everything BUT going out to evangelize.
This lack of obedience has gone on far too long. A Harvest MUST be brought in and the body MUST GO!

The reason folks have not been doing their harvest job is they don’t want to. Simple as that. It takes commitment which means
they have to give of themselves and their time and they just don’t want to… they have other priorities.
They would rather give money or let someone else do it.
That is not God’s plan for us.

As I was contemplating this situation and wondering if I could make a full commitment to whole-hearted evangelism
The Lord  asked me
“Is you is or is you ain’t MY baby?”

That meant something to me because my Mom use to sing that song to me when I was little.
It was written in 1944 by Billy Austin and sung by Louis Jordan.
Mom would sing “Is you is or is you ain’t my baby?” And tickle me – and I would laugh and laugh.

When the Lord said that to me I remember Mom and smiled, but then I began to cry…
He was asking me to contemplate my commitment to Him. More than that I saw Him as a loving father ready to give great joy
to His children but He sees that His children aren’t sure if they is or ain’t fully committed to Him.

This song absolutely would not leave my head and the only part I knew was the chorus.
So, I looked it up on the Internet.  And, as I read it certain phrases jumped out at me.
The Lord changed the words just slightly – I want to share them with you.

So, He is asking for more commitment from us to further His purposes.

If "yous His baby" – then Evangelism needs to become a lifestyle for you.
Not contrived or forced witnessing, but a natural flow out of your belly to other people.

Do you want more peace?
Do you want more love for others?
Do you want more joy?
Do you want fire and zeal?
Do you want to flow in the gifts of the Spirit?
Do you want healing?

There’s one answer for all of your wants: Share your testimony and witness for Christ

We read the word, we pray, we have glorious worship, we read books about God and listen to myriads of CDs… all in hopes of triggering
something that will bring the power, the gifts, the miracles signs and wonders of God.

According to the Gospels and the book of Acts just to start,  the power,  signs, wonders and miracles came in order to win lost souls.
When people were healed or they saw or heard amazing things, they believed and were saved. The multitudes healed, awesome flames of
fire and sound on Pentecost, the man at the gate Beautiful, the sorcerer who was struck blind, the girl raised from the dead and a whole
region was saved.

So, to have the power of God flow through us,  we have to step out into a very scary place. For some of us it’s a strange place and feels even
dangerous at times and we want to run back to the safety of just going to church as normal.

But we weren’t created for that.  We are blessed people who are suppose to be a blessing others and not just other Christians!
The only way you will have more peace, joy, love and flow in the gifts and see miracles signs and wonders is if you pick up the banner of
Evangelism and say yes Lord.

You won’t flow in what you don’t need. If you aren’t witnessing for Christ, you don’t need much.

It is time to say:
I is your baby. I is your child!
Show me who to share with Lord… open doors to me. Give me souls to win! I will go!

And, lastly there’s the word catapult …
Those of us who say yes this year will be catapulted into the supernatural realms of God.

Catapult means to: hurl, shoot, throw, project, propel, toss, fling, hurtle

God will pick you up in his hands and hurl you into the supernatural.
He will grab you out of his quiver of arrows and shoot you into the bulls – eye of His supernatural works.

I don’t know about you, but I am really bored with this powerless life we lead here in the USA. This is a religious vipers nest
and we need fire to keep from being bitten and poisoned by these things… just like Paul was bitten by a viper and did not die because he
shook it off. We MUST shake off the religious vipers in our life and move by the Holy Spirit.

We need not just fire but FIRE from heaven pouring through us – we need passion and zeal that consumes us and spills over to others

You can get a shot of fire by attending a good meeting.
But the only way to maintain fire and zeal is to go out into the streets and witness for Christ!

I am going out there door to door if necessary and I am going to see what God will do.  
What can man do to me anyway if God is on my side? If you want to go along let me know.

So, you are scared spitless by Evangelism and Commitment and you're not sure you want to be catapulted?
Praise God that everyday is a day to start over in Him – but this Rosh Hashanah this fall season happens to be a time of supernatural new
beginnings that can change you from whimp to roaring lion through simple heartfelt repentance.
On top of that this year is 5768  - The numbers are significant. This is a combination of Grace (5) Completeness (7) Man (6) and 8 is the
number of New Beginnings in the Bible.

God is giving us a specific year to start all over and become just like His first year church.

Next year is 5769 and that is the number of Fullness! We must start over and become completely new so that He can direct us.
If we wish to enter the Fullness that He has for us in our lives and ministry we have to get rid of all the old stuff.

Look at your relationship with God and look at your life. Are you winning souls and making disciples?
No? Well, maybe it’s because you aren’t fulfilling your call…
Satan wars against the call on your life…
he works hard to keep you off track, fearful and lazy.

We are in the 10 days of Awe leading up to Yom Kippur which is September 21st. But, no matter when you read this
it is the time to ask the Lord to forgive you and to redirect your life.

I want fiery zeal and passion in my  life for God o win souls and make disciples.
I want to see the awesome things our God can do if we will simply commit to His plans.  How about you?
