The Biblical New Year: A Fresh Start in The Most High Time

 

 

Peace, blessings, and love to you all. On March 14, 2025, we welcomed the Biblical New Year—not according to the Gregorian calendar, but in alignment with God's divine order. Unlike the world’s celebrations in January, the true new year begins in the first month of Abib (Nisan), when new life springs forth, and creation aligns with The Most High's timing (Exodus 12:2, Deuteronomy 16:1).

 

Why Does the Biblical New Year Matter?

 

I see a lot of people teaching the Bible, but when they speak, I can usually tell if they've actually read it for themselves. When you truly read the Word—whether it's the Old or New Testament—you’ll notice how often the Most High uses words like "forever," "throughout your generations," or "perpetual." Those aren’t just poetic phrases—they’re instructions that reveal what He actually expects, which is often very different from what many of us were taught in church.

 

Understanding this shifts everything. The renewal of the year isn’t just another date—it’s a spiritual reset. A divine opportunity to realign with the Most High’s will, cleanse our hearts, and prepare ourselves for His appointed times (moedim). It marks the beginning of His holy cycle, drawing us into the set-apart feasts He commanded us to keep.

 

Breaking free from tradition and stepping into truth is both exciting and liberating. It’s beautiful to realize that the Most High loves us so deeply, He gave us appointed times to celebrate, dance, reflect, and remember the promises He made to our forefathers. These aren’t just feast—they’re reminders of who we are and who He is.

 

Upcoming Feasts to Prepare For:

 

• Passover | March 28, 2025-April 3, 2025
  Passover reminds us of The Most Highs deliverance and redemption—both from Egypt and through Yahusha, the ultimate Passover Lamb (Exod. 12, 1 Corin. 5:7).

• Feast of Unleavened Bread | March 29, 2025-April 3, 2025
  For seven days, we remove leaven (sin) from our homes and lives, symbolizing our commitment to walk in obedience and righteousness (Exod. 12:15-20, 1 Corin. 5:8).

• Pentecost (Day of First Fruit)| May 17, 2025
  This feast celebrates the early harvest and Gods provision, pointing prophetically to Yahusha’s resurrection as the first fruits of those raised from the dead (Exod. 34:22, Deut. 16:9-11, Lev. 23:9-14, 1 Corinthians 15:20).

 

If all of this is new to you, my prayer in this season is that the Most High increases your wisdom and understanding of the Word He gave us centuries ago.

 

Throughout the year, I’ll be sharing and breaking down what I’ve learned from Scripture over the past two years—so you can grow, learn, and walk this path with clarity and confidence.

 

As we step into this new year, let’s do it with intention and obedience. It’s a time to purify our hearts, prepare for the feasts, and seek the Most High more deeply. Let’s move forward in faith, honoring His appointed times with joy, purpose, and reverence.

 

Shalom & Happy Biblical New Year! ✨

How to Have a Stress-Free & Productive Content Day

 

 

 

Peace, blessings, and love to you all. Creating content can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re juggling multiple brands, social platforms, and the need to show up consistently. But with the right plan, you can maximize your content day in less time while still getting high-quality photos and videos that make an impact.

 

Whether you're a business owner, influencer, or creative, a well-organized content day can save you hours of scrambling each week. Here’s how to make it happen!

 

1. Plan Your Content Ahead of Time

 

Before you pick up a camera, outline exactly what you need to capture. Ask yourself:

 

✔️ What content do I need for my brand or business?

✔️ What outfits, props, or backgrounds align with my message?

✔️ Which platforms will I be using this content for?

 

Having a clear vision helps you stay on track and avoid unnecessary retakes.

 

2. Batch Your Photos & Videos by Theme

 

Grouping similar content together makes the process smooth and efficient. Instead of bouncing between different styles, try:

 

🎥 Recording all video intros first

📸 Taking all headshots in one go

💡 Capturing lifestyle shots for multiple uses

 

This approach saves time and energy while ensuring your visuals look cohesive.

 

3. Optimize Your Setup

 

Make sure you have:

📷 A fully charged camera or phone

💡 Proper lighting to avoid dark, grainy shots

🎭 Easy outfit changes for variety
