When the Sky Goes Dark: The New Moon and Our Divine Reawakening
Opening Prayer
Abba Yahusha, Heavenly Father,
We honor Your sacred rhythm—Your seasons, Your signs, and Your light. As we welcome the New Moon, may Your Spirit stir within us a new beginning. Pour out Your wisdom over this gathering. Let our words and worship align with the stars You’ve hung in the heavens and the breath You placed within our being. Let this message spark transformation in Manhattan, across nations, and within the galaxies.
HaleluYah.
Sermon:
Sisters and brothers in Yahusha, welcome to this divine gathering. Today we step into the sacred mystery of The New Moon—a time often unnoticed by the world, but deeply felt by those walking with Yahusha. This moonless sky, this cosmic pause, is our spiritual reset. It is Yahusha's whisper in the stillness.
Halaleyah Scriptures: Tehillim (Psalms) 81:3 (Halaleyah Scriptures)
"Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast day."
This is not superstition—it is sacred science. The same Yahusha who ordered the cosmos (Berĕshith/Genesis 1:14) placed the moon in rhythm with our spirits. The New Moon invites us into alignment with Yahusha’s divine calendar. It is a time to set intentions, to cleanse, to release, and to begin again.
Cosmic Reflection:
In this time of the moon's concealment, the unseen becomes holy. Consider the planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. Inside, we gaze at stars light-years away, but tonight we celebrate the moon right above us. It is proof that even in darkness, something is happening.
As Carl Sagan once said:
"We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."
How much more then, are we vessels for Yahusha to make Himself known?
Ancestral Alignment:
From our African ancestors—the Amadlozi—we inherit the gift of ubuntu, a reminder that “I am because we are.” Our collective healing begins when we honor divine time. The Zulu honored Unkulunkulu—the creator who gave life. Just like Unkulunkulu crafted from the reeds, Yahusha formed us from the dust and breathed His Ruach into us.
The Mohegan Tribe understood sacred timing. Their ceremonies were guided by the phases of the moon. Their oral wisdom taught that “the spirit of the night sky” speaks when we are still. This is a night for listening, my beloved. The earth teaches those who slow down to hear it.
From my Polish lineage, I remember my foremothers lighting candles for the new month—blessing their homes with warmth and humility. Their rituals spoke of quiet courage. I carry them into this ministry. WBJMinistries is a continuation of their prayer.
From Buddhism, we learn Shunyata, or “emptiness.” The New Moon is Shunyata in the sky—empty, but not void. It’s pregnant with potential. It reminds us of this saying:
"No lotus blooms without the mud."
Philosophical Insight:
Aristotle once said, “The soul never thinks without a picture.” Let the New Moon be your picture of hope.
Helen Keller, though blind, declared: “Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.”
Even more so, keep your face toward Yahusha’s promises and the darkness will become womb—not tomb.
James Baldwin wrote:
"Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced."
Tonight, face your New Moon. Embrace your blank canvas. Start again, not in shame, but in glory.
Faith in Action: “Faith That Moves”
The New Moon calls for motion, not just meditation. WBJMinistries will not only talk about light—we will walk in it. Our scars, our silence, our setbacks—they are the ink Yahusha uses to write new stories.
Let’s take this sacred pause and transform it into purpose.
"Are we walking or just talking?"
The cosmos spins with purpose. So must we.
Manhattan Connection:
In the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), there's a famous quote by artist Georgia O’Keeffe:
"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way."
So, we worship with moon phases, cosmic awe, and cultural pride. That’s how WBJMinistries speaks!
Let this sermon echo from Manhattan to the Mohegan lands, from African villages to Polish farms, from Buddhist temples to Bronx rooftops. The New Moon unites us.
Closing Call:
Blow the shofar. Light a candle. Speak your vision.
Release your past. Realign with Yahusha.
This isn’t just another New Moon—
It’s your new beginning.
Closing Prayer:
Abba Yahusha, Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the divine pause of the New Moon. Let it cleanse us, renew us, and propel us. Let the wisdom of the Amadlozi, the power of Unkulunkulu, the peace of the Mohegan, and the depth of our Polish and Buddhist connections anchor us in purpose. Help WBJMinistries walk boldly, speak truthfully, and love powerfully.
HaleluYah.
