[Music] Welcome to the chalkboard teaching for the new biblical year that we are entering into it is 5786 and this new year is known as Rasha Shana. It is literally the head of the year. Rash means head and sha means year. And this new year begins on the first day of the biblical calendar in the month of Tish. And this year in 2025, Tisher 1 begins on Monday night, September 22nd and will end Friday night, September 11th in 2026. So on Rashashana, this is when the civil calendar flips over and the numerical year advances. And this year we move from 5785 to 5786. And this corresponds to our year 2025 and 2026 on the Gregorian calendar. And this number is based on the creation of the world. It's like a physical birth or the age of the earth. And we can gain prophetic insight when we look at the numbers because in the Hebrew alphabet, every letter is connected with a number. and not only a number, but a picture and an action. My name is Christine Valis, and I am blessed to uncover the Lord's prophetic calendar with you in real time. So, I pray you are blessed and receive a fresh revelation of God's great love for you as you watch this teaching. So we are more than halfway through the decade of the 80s on God's calendar and that um corresponds to the decade of the 20s on the Gregorian calendar. And we have learned that the number 80 is connected to the Hebrew letter pay which is in blue right here on the chalkboard. It is a value of 80. Right? Part of this 86 right here. It is a picture of a mouth or an opening. It is an entrance or a beginning. It means to command, to speak, to declare or to open. And it also has two forms just like our mouth open and closed. And as this decade began back in 2019 in the fall, I sensed the Lord say that this decade of the8s would be a decade of declaration. And the Lord gave me this chalkboard for that uh year and decade. So you can check this out on my uh website or YouTube channel and dig in deeper to this biblical decade that we are in. And you know, when we turned over this decade, like I said, in the fall of 2019, it was only a few months later when we would move into 2020. And what happened? Co hit and the enemy attacked our mouths and our very breath. But the Lord is always one step ahead of the enemy. Actually, many steps ahead of the enemy. He's a defeated foe. And so we kept on speaking, kept on breathing in Jesus name. So in this pay decade, we've been studying and learning the truths of these two key scriptures. Matthew 12:34 that says, "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." And Proverbs 18:21 that says, "Death and life are in the power of our tongues." So again, if you want to dig deeper into the decade 5780 or all the years that have followed, you can go to my website or YouTube channel and watch those teachings and that'll bring you right up to speed to where we are now here in 5786. So here we are now in the year 5786. And this year we combine the 80 or the pay which is the mouth with the six which in the Hebrew alphabet is the letter vav. And we see it right here in yellow on the chalkboard. And so this letter vav has a value of six. It is a picture of a nail, a tent peg, a hook, a link or a connection. It means to join together, to make secure or to add to. It is also the number of man or man's efforts. So when I looked at these two letters um the pay and the vav, this phrase instantly rose up in my spirit for the new year and it is proclaim the finished work of Jesus. So I'm excited. I pray you are too. And as we unpack the chalkboard, I pray you get a great revelation of Jesus's love for you and his finished work in your life. So before we jump into the teaching, I wanted to let you know that we have resources available that I have created to encourage you as you begin this new year 5786. So we have the chalkboard here available as faux canvases. Um, this is exactly what I teach from. The chalk does not smudge. Um, it is a faux canvas. These are lightweight and portable. You can use them for um, small gatherings, for teachings. Uh, you can use them in your congregation. Um, you can display them on your wall. They're all to point you to Jesus and encourage you this year in 5786. Um, we also have the flashc card available which is the same chalkboard and on the back has all the verses and all the dates for this year and there's a link to the chalkboard teaching here. This is a great resource to keep in your Bible as you move through this year. And in addition, I've created an anointing oil 100% organic for this year 57.86 86. So you can proclaim his finished work in your life as you anoint yourself, your home, your workplace, and even others this year. And lastly, I've created a blank journal for this new year declaring it is finished. So this will be a great encouragement as you are reminded of the finished work of Jesus, as you move through the year with him. All of these resources are available now on my website. You can just go to the shop. The link is below and you can also find this year's edition of his appointed times if you wanted to jump in and connect with the Lord in his prophetic calendar and his great love for you. So in order to really proclaim something with confidence, we need to have a fresh revelation of it in our hearts. Right? As the word says, I believe and therefore I speak. And once we get that revelation, we can speak it with boldness. And the Holy Spirit, he loves to reveal himself. He loves to reveal Jesus to us. Even last year in 5785, the theme was to shout grace, grace. But we needed to know what grace was, right? Well, it's the same thing this year. We need to know what the finished work of Jesus is in order to proclaim it with boldness with all of our hearts. So, what is this finished work of Jesus? Well, I have heard this terminology before, and I thought I had a pretty good understanding of what this meant. But I have to tell you, as I've been preparing for this teaching and studying over the past few months, the eyes of my heart have totally been enlightened and they continue to illuminate on the finished work of Jesus. It is greater than I ever thought. So I pray that as we go through the teaching that the eyes of your heart are enlightened more and more in the revelation of Jesus and his great love for you. So as we go through the teaching, I'm going to highlight a few verses that the Lord gave me for this year. And the first one is right here in the middle of the chalkboard, right in the middle of the cross. It is John 19:30. These are Jesus's last words on the cross. And John 19:30 says, "So when Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, "It is finished." And bowing his head, he gave up his spirit. So it is finished. In Greek, it is tatelisty. It means it is accomplished. It is done. It is completed. It is consummated. It is permanently paid in full. But the question is, what exactly did Jesus finish on the cross for us this year? The Lord wants us to have a personal revelation of the finished work of Jesus in our lives. Because the more we know and understand what the finished work of Jesus is, the more our hearts will be secure. They will be vived in him and nothing will be able to separate us from his great love. So Colossians 2:13-15 is a great portion of scripture that reveals the finished work of Jesus. And this is Paul speaking to the believers in Colasse. And he says this, "And you being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has made alive together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. and he has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross, having disarmed principalities and powers. He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. Well, wow. These verses are packed and reveals the finished work of Jesus. So, let's look at them and unpack them together. So, we were all spiritually dead in Adam, right? And we were dead in all of our own faults and shortcomings and sin. And God's law, although it was good and perfect, it demanded perfection from us. We would be blessed if we kept it and cursed if we didn't. And his law showed us that we needed a savior. In Leviticus, it tells us that we also needed a perfect sacrifice because without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins. And all of this separated us from a holy God. But when Christ shed his blood on the cross, all of our sins were forgiven, past, present, and future, and we were released from the guilt and penalty of sin. And when we believe in Jesus and his finished work on the cross, he quickens us and he brings us from death to life, making us a new creation in him. Verse 14 continues to show Jesus's work that he also wiped out or eradicated and erased the handwriting of requirements that was against us and hostile toward us. But what was this handwriting of requirements? Well, it was the very law written by the hand of God. Jesus wiped out this ministry of death, as Paul calls it, by fulfilling all the commands and demands from God that we could never keep. The portion goes on to say that by this act Jesus took away that which separated us from our heavenly father. And 2 Corinthians 5:21 declares that Jesus though he knew no sin, God made him to be sin for us. All sickness, depression, poverty, and the total of God's wrath was put on Jesus so that we could be the healed and the blessed of the Lord and the very righteousness of God. Colossians 2 continues to say that Jesus nailed the law to the cross. And I always thought this was like a poetic metaphor, but it's not. It's actually courtroom language. It's the language of verdicts and divine justice. And it is legal and eternal. In Jesus's day, once a legal certificate of debt was paid in full, it was nailed to a public post as a visible testimony to all that the liability was fully satisfied. Payment was fully met, and there was no longer any outstanding debt. So as Jesus was nailed or vaved to the cross, so was that certificate of debt that was against us. Verse 15 goes on to say that Jesus made a public spectacle as he disarmed and disgraced and exposed principalities and powers triumphing over them in it. So basically this says that while Jesus was stripped of his garments, he stripped the enemy of this legal document that he always used against us. And you know the enemy used it against us not because the law was bad. No, the law is good and perfect. But the enemy knew and knows that we could never keep it. So he still tries to use this certificate of debt against us even though it's fully been satisfied. He tells us things like you have to do better, you're never good enough, you'll have to do more, or you call yourself a Christian. Well, you know, this is all fear tactics. He uses condemnation, but guess what? He's all bark and no bite. He is a gummer. He has no teeth. He has no power. The only power he has is the power we give him. But once we have a revelation that there's a nail through this document thanks to the finished work of Jesus, we will not fall for the deceit of the enemy because the debt has been fully met and his perfect love casts out any fear and there is no condemnation in Jesus. So the cross did not merely forgive us. It legally disarmed every accusation that hell could raise against us. It's like the law of double jeopardy. No one can be prosecuted or punished for the same offense more than once. Galatians 3:13 says that Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree. So when Jesus was nailed to the tree, a divine exchange took place on the cross, he qualified us. He delivered us. He redeemed us. And when we believe upon Jesus and this finished work that he's done for us, we are no longer cursed, but we are blessed. He took the thorns on his head so we could live free from anxiety and depression. And by his stripes we are healed. It is finished. It is done. Now Hebrews 10 9-12 underscores this finished work and the rest it brings us as believers. So let's look at it together. It starts off by saying, "Then he, Jesus, said, behold, I have come to do your will, oh God. And he takes away the first, which is the old covenant, that he may establish the second, which is the new and better covenant." And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. It is finished. Now every priest stands because his work is never done. Ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices which could never take away sins or a guilty conscience for that matter. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice of himself for sins forever, he sat down at the right hand of God. So it's a finished work. There is nothing left to be done. You can't add to it. You rest just like our heavenly father did after he created the world. So Jesus is seated and as he is so we are in this world. Now Ephesians 2:6 says that we are seated in heavenly places with him. And Colossians 1 goes on to tell us that we've been translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of his dear son. So this is good news. This is great news. He did all of the work for us so we can rest and receive all of the benefits and blessings in Deuteronomy 28 that he died to give us. That's why we are more than conquerors in Christ because he loved us. So the only work for us to do is to enter into the rest of his finished work and believe and receive all of the blessings that he died to give us. And as we do, we will live holy and abundant lives, not by striving, but out of the overflow of a thankful heart and relationship with him as he establishes our heart and his great love for us and his great grace. The book of Hebrews is a great place to read more about his great love for us and the finished work of Jesus and how he entered the heavenly tabernacle with his very own blood once and for all. And speaking of the blood, I have one last verse to share with you as the Lord led me to this very popular one. It is 1 Corinthians 11:26. And this is where Paul explains communion to the believers. And he says this, "For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes." So after studying the finished work, this brings communion into a whole new light for me. I mean, so often communion is presented in such a somber way. And even as a worship leader for years, I would always pick songs that were very quiet and reflective and never upbeat. But we are proclaiming the finished work of Jesus. This is celebratory, isn't it? Because we're no longer looking at ourselves being conscious of our sins, but we're looking onto Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith. We're being conscious of our righteousness in him. And that brings rest and celebration. So we are no longer condemned but free. So we can raise our bread and our wine with joyful hearts. And we can do this in remembrance of him and forget none of the benefits that he died to give us. We now have access to our heavenly father giving us boldness to enter his throne of grace. We have freedom from guilt as he does not impute our sins to us. There is no condemnation in Christ and we can rest in this new and better covenant and his great love for us as Hebrews 8 declares. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more. So I pray you have enjoyed this teaching and as we begin 5786, let's proclaim his finished work over our lives and over the lives of others because the document that demanded from us has been fully paid. God is for us. He is not against us. Jesus did all of the work for us so we can rest and receive his blessings. And he was nailed to the cross, not because he had to, but because he wanted to, because of his great love for us. For we were the joy that was set before him. So thank you Lord for your great love for us and this finished work that you have done for us. And because of this we can start this year and every day of our lives at the finish line. It is finished. It is done to tell us. Thank you for your time to watch and happy and blessed 5786 in Jesus. [Music] [Music]
