Connect Heart-to-Heart with God
Catch God’s Rhythm According to His Designed Plan of Engagement
God established seven types of appointed times in His covenant grouped into three feast seasons to mark special ways in which the children of Israel were to engage and interact with Him.
On the surface one might wonder about the relevance of the feasts. Even today, the feasts are no longer celebrated as God originally prescribed, since the primary components included animal sacrifice, agricultural practices and a central Temple.
While the original outward aspects of the feasts may have been largely lost, seeing God’s BIGGER PICTURE and the underlying purpose of the feasts opens you up to the reality of a dynamic dimension of life God intended for His children to experience!
You will see how the feasts relate to our spiritual life as well as physical life; our relationship with God and relationship to our work.
You will discover God’s love and grace, and find hope as you discover God’s covenant promises. You will more fully understand His way of redemption, and learn how to discern God’s will for your life by relating and interacting with Him through His Word and Spirit in a very real and dynamic way. How, you may ask?
The apostle Paul communicated 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 rich in symbolism, they point forward to the one casting the shadow—Jesus Christ. See how the feasts serve as a reflection of a blueprint illustrating God’s divine plan of engagement revealed through the LORD!
Psalm 85:13 relates how His footsteps are our pathway. The PATHWAYS TO GLORY grid or map, therefore, serves to illuminate ways to relate to God and engage with Him in a real and refreshing 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!
See also how Joshua and the children of Israel benefited from God’s divine guidance as He guided them to their promised destiny and enabled them to experience the fulfillment of His purposes.
Each box on the Pathways chart links to a pop-up box providing a brief description, life application questions for reflection and Scripture references.
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
The PATHWAYS TO GLORY guide provides the flexibility of tailoring study and engagement with God. Consider the following study tracks:
 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-lead 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. |
