Shabbat Shuva and Ten Days of Awe

This is the time which is called the ten days of Awe. Ten days to Return to God. God determines during these ten days leading up to Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement if a person's name is recorded in the book of life.
This is the time to repent for everything we have said this past year that did not honor God and everything we've done this year against his commandments. We will be judged how we have treated our fellow man. We will be judged for how we have treated widows, orphans, and less fortunate. So, TeShuva is considered a major time of Repentance for God's people.
Rabbi Levi said, "Great is repentance, for it reaches up to the Throne of Glory, as it is written, 'Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God.'" Hosea 14:1 says, 'Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God for you have stumbled (which is accidental) because of your iniquity (which is intentional)'". Hosea 14:2-10(1-9) is part of the reading for Shabbat Shuvah (Sabbath of Repentance), the Sabbath that falls between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. In this passage, the prophet Hosea makes one last desperate plea, beseeching Israel to repent and save themselves from the coming catastrophe. He says, "Return, O Israel!" The Hebrew word for "return" is the imperative shuvah (שובה), a word that also is translated as "repent."

Repentance from evil deeds is one of the foundational, elementary teachings about the Messiah (Hebrews 6:1). Yeshua brought a message of repentance, always teaching, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 3:2). He told men that if they did not repent, they would perish (Luke 13:3). He said that He came only to call sinners to repentance (Luke 5:32), for "He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins" (Acts 5:31). He told His disciples that repentance for the forgiveness of sins must be proclaimed in His name to all nations ( Luke 24:46-47) because "God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent" (Acts 17:30). "They went out and preached that men should repent" (Mark 6:12). They went out, "solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Yeshua the Messiah" (Acts 20:21), "even to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds appropriate to repentance" (Acts 26:20). Because of this, "God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life" (Acts 11:18), and "repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth" (2 Timothy 2:25), for He does not wish "for any to perish but for all to come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). "The kindness of God leads you to repentance" (Romans 2:4), "a repentance without regret, leading to salvation" (2 Corinthians 7:10). "Repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away" (Acts 3:19). "Repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray the Lord that, if possible, the intention of your heart may be forgiven you" (Acts 8:22). "Therefore be zealous and repent" (Revelation 3:19). "Bear fruit in keeping with repentance" (Matthew 3:8). "Repent and do the [good] deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place—unless you repent" (Revelation 2:5). "So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent" (Revelation 3:3).

The mouth is the expression of the breath. Through our mouths the breath becomes vocalized. The main channel through which breath is exchanged is through the mouth, thus the mouth becomes a powerful expression of the Breath of the Holy Spirit. It can also become a powerful expression of our own breath. In the Hebrew alphabet “Pey” follows “Ayin,” which emphasizes that sight precedes expression. Those who have spent a great deal of time seeing what God is saying should have no difficulty in the next decade also expressing His thoughts in word and deed. Conversely, because the eyes are more emphasized than the mouth, those who are blind will speak blindly, an unceasing mindless chatter due to blind consumption.
What Should we Declare in this New Year 5781?
1. Declare the Impossible IS Possible!
2. Declare I am the Righteousness of God!
3. Declare Thy Will Be Done!
4. Declare Prayer is powerful! A Prophetic Word to the Church
The saints in Heaven are asking the army on earth to pray, not to retreat, or to leave the Church but to Pray for Her. To hold fast against the assails of the devil of which the gates of hell will not prevail! (Matthew 16:17-19).
Declare with me “I will widen my mouth in prayer to you O’ Lord! I will widen my mouth in repentance. I will widen my mouth against the lies and tactics of the enemy. I will widen my mouth to stand firm against the onslaught of hell against my family, church, and Nation
