Pathways to Glory™
Relational Devotional
Connect and Relate Heart-to-Heart with God
Tap into Your Capacity in God
Catch God’s Rhythm According to
His Designed Plan of Engagement
The early disciples related with and experienced God in a very real and dynamic way. They had a multi-dimensional perspective of the multi-dimensional/manifold grace of God.
This devotional will help you cultivate such a relational and multi-dimensional perspective. It will nurture your devotional life by helping you intimately relate with God, know the genuine love of God and experience fruitful life in God. You will connect with God according to the ancient paths in a real, refreshing and personal way that will expand your faith and bring hope to your heart.
How? God originally designed a series of appointed ways for the Hebrew people to engage with Him—the Feasts of the Lord. While the original outward ways of celebrating the feasts have evolved over time, God imbedded in them measures of grace concealed in the old covenant but dynamically revealed as amazing grace in the upgraded or new covenant!
On the one hand you will see, as the apostle Paul did, God’s greater purposes of the feasts. He revealed in Colossians 2:17 that the Lord’s feasts are “a shadow of things that are coming, but the body is of the Messiah.” As shadows of grace rich in symbolism, they point forward to the one casting the shadow—Messiah Yeshua-Jesus Christ!
You will, therefore, see how the feasts serve as a reflection of a blueprint illustrating God’s divine plan of engagement! Psalm 85:13 relates how His footsteps are our pathway. The PATHWAYS TO GLORY grid or map so to say, captures these special types of engagements in a multi-dimensional way, taking you on a multi-path journey with God. As you go, it will illuminate dynamic ways to relate to God and engage with Him in a real, refreshing and personal way.
For starters, you will see how these engagements serve as rehearsals foreshadowing an eternal relationship with God. As you allow the Holy Spirit to expand your vision and enable you to see the bigger picture, you will gain fresh insights that will enrich your knowledge of God and invigorate your relationship with God.
You will see how the feasts relate to your spiritual life as well as physical life; your relationship with God and relationship to your work. You will discover God’s love and manifold grace as the truth of His covenant promises are unveiled. You will more fully understand God’s way of redemption and restoration, and learn how to discern the wisdom and will of God through engagement in His Word by His Spirit in a very real and dynamic way.
Catch the Broad Vision
Begin with the Overview. See how the Feasts of the LORD align with God’s process of Creation, Revelation and Redemption. See the LORD in the feasts, especially in the seven “I AM” proclamations in John!
We also suggest that you read the articles, Relating With Our Relational God and Tapping into Your Capacity in God. Both are included in the download version.
On the Pathways chart, each box links to a pop-up box providing capsule insights on TRUTH AND PURPOSES and RELEVANCE. Engaging questions for REFLECTION, REALITY AND RESPONSE as well as SCRIPTURE REFERENCES are included to make your devotion time with God more meaningful and fruitful.
May the Holy Spirit enlighten you as you engage with Him that you too, find God’s wisdom, experience His purposes and He be glorified.

Follow the Path That
Suits You Best
See how you can relate with God in a real and dynamic way and tap into God’s greater capacity. The PATHWAYS TO GLORY guide provides flexibility in approaches, study and engagement with God.
Horizontal Approach
Choose from any of the 7 horizontal relational tracks moving across the grid focusing on one topic at a time.
 Vertical Approach
Do an in-depth study across the 7 vertical feast tracks moving through the grid at your own pace.
Spirit-led Approach
Allow the Holy Spirit to direct your study and devotion as He leads you along your journey of life, and as specific topics become of particular interest and relevance to you.
Maximizing Fruitfulness
While each horizontal track moves according to God’s rhythm and process, you will find deeper thoughts and revelation as you move downward towards the “roots” of the LORD—for He is the hope of glory and the anchor of our soul.
Seasons and Cycles
While each feast, or appointed time with God marks a distinct purpose on God’s timetable, God works between these demarcations according to the rhythm of heaven; even during the long span between fall and spring seasons.The Life Application questions associated with each topic on the grid, therefore, serve to help you reflect and meditate upon God’s purposes and work during that particular season and cycle of time. Allow the Holy Spirit to bear witness to your heart and minister God's love and truth.
Grace in the Pattern and Process
As you engage with God keep focused on the big picture of His process and pattern. Therein, you will find His grace and redemptive values as you relate with how God is working in your life.
