Morning by Morning Daily Prayer Journey with Tommy Hays of Messiah Ministries
The Feast of Trumpets Fulfilled in Jesus - Morning by Morning, September 23, 2025
“Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord’” (Leviticus 23:23-25).
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words!” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18)
Written and sent out from the morning prayer time of Tommy Hays each day.
God bless you and may you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, September 23, 2025 – The Feast of Trumpets Fulfilled in Jesus
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I lift up my heart and open up my ears to sense Your Presence and follow Your leading (John 10:27). ...
“Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord’” (Leviticus 23:23-25).
On the Biblical Calendar, we’ve entered into the season of the Fall Feasts with the Feast of Trumpets. This Feast also beings the Ten Days of Awe between the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:27). And all the Feasts, like all the Law and the Prophets are ultimately fulfilled in You, Lord Jesus, Yeshua, our Messiah, our Christ, our Lord and Savior (Matthew 5:17).
Everything written of the people of Israel throughout their journey is also intended to speak to us in Christ, who have now been grafted into Israel (Romans 11:17), as prophetic examples of our relationship with You — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. As Your Word teaches us, “All these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come” (1 Corinthians 10:11).
In the symbolism of this Feast, the sounding of the trumpets speaks of the call to gather Your people together and speaks of preparing our hearts for Your Presence, leading into this ten-day time of reflection and repentance, introspection and intimately listening in sabbath-rest for correction and conviction before the Day of Atonement. And at the same, there is to be “an offering of fire made to the Lord.”
Many also believe the prophetic symbolism and patterns of the Scriptures indicate the Feast of Trumpets will ultimately be fulfilled in Your coming on the Feast of Trumpets in a year to come. And Your Word calls us to listen and be ready for the sounding of the trumpet on one glorious day:
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words!” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18)
We may disagree about whether that day is the day of the Rapture or the day of the Second Coming of Christ or both together as one day, but all who are in Christ are looking forward to Your coming and the sounding of Your trumpet! May we be ready, with a personal, intimate relationship with You for the coming of that day!
So on this day, during this season, sound the Trumpet of Your Voice in my spirit. Draw me near to You in deeper surrender, waiting before You, listening for Your leading, embracing Your correction, and preparing my heart in trusting repentance in honor of all You have done for me. You are my Atonement — “the Atoning Sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:2). You are “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). You are the Voice of One who sounds “as of a trumpet” (Revelation 1:10).
With the Fire of Your Spirit burning in my heart, let the Sound of Your Voice arise like a Trumpet in my spirit. Your sheep hear Your Voice (John 10:27). Your children are led by Your Spirit (Romans 8:14). Let us be ready! Let us be ready and look forward to the day “the last trumpet” will sound! (1 Corinthians 15:52) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
