Revelation of Pentecost

I've been praying asking the Lord on the revelation of Pentecost this year. I believe I have stumbled on something quite fresh. BTW, I assume you all know the important of the Lord's Feasts and how Heaven runs with Jewish Calendar, etc, I won't be laying foundations here. In the Old Testament, Pentecost the Feast of the First Fruits. Is a time when the Jewish people see the first fig rips counting 50 days from the day of Passover. They will pick up their first batch of ripe figs, grapes, pomegranates, dates, wheat, and bring it to the temple of the Lord and celebrate His goodness. Reflect upon this, how God has blessed us during these past 50 days how many things are set in motion for you? How many doors are opened? Home much more financial breakthroughs you had compared to before? Yes they are little breakthrough, but that's it, because it's the first sight of the ripen fruits! We ought to bring these and be thankful of what He has done in our mist, confessing all these blessings come from the hand of the Lord? The Jewish people understand how all material blessings and spiritual blessings come from the hand of the Lord, and they understand how to honor the King in the season in which the king demands. Yet the church has no understanding, all they want is the shower of goodness of the baptism of refreshing, yet they have not understood the sacrifice it required in a time of honoring the king.

Now the time has come to bring our sacrifice to the king, I want to show you how by meeting God's requirements we can enter into a new cycle of blessings of God. Because life are cycles to enter into the next level of blessings of God, what we do now will determine where we'll be in the next seasons, every season is important none to be wasted. When the people of God will bring their baskets of first fruits before the Lord, they will lay it before the temple and worship and give thanks. Then they will turn to the priests and tell them their request, like "the enemy had killed my father" and they will make the request known to God and offer up their sacrifice and worship. they will offer the wheat in their hands and beat them open with bear hands while laying prostrate before the throne. The priests then will collect all the wheat from all the people then make them into loaves of bread. The bread will be made in the likeness of an altar, then the priest will dedicate them to the Lord along with lambs' ribs on top of the bread. Then finally the priests will eat the feasts before the Lord and conclude the service.

To think upon the process of bringing your request and asking God to vindicating your case while fulfilling your requirements are interesting to me. And the timing on the Pentecost is also interesting to me. You see how the enemy has triumphed over the body of Christ during Passover, yes their lives were saved, but they went through hell!! They were powerless to confront their enemies. Here at firstfruits we are confessing, God look upon our enemies, what the enemy had stolen from us. Now we honor you confessing you are the source of all blessings, life, and prosperity. Here from Heaven according to your covenant with Solomon, from this place you will hear your people and heal their lands. You see the place where they offer is important. They did not offer in any other place than the temple of God, the dwelling place of God. God says, My house shall be a House of prayer! Where does God dwell today, He dwell among His humble believers who had been built together to become a family! God will only rest upon a resting believers who had prepared a dwelling place for him! That is why in Acts 1-2, the disciples had to gather in the upper room in ONE accord, they prayed! They had family time! They love each other, and commit to the words of Jesus together, that is the place to receive Kingdom power and authority. This is a reflection of the revelation of the Shavuot when the priest will collect some wheat from each of the people and make it to a loaf of bread in the image of the alter of God. You see my house shall be a house of prayer!! And if it's house, then the first requirement before prayer is that you will be a family, if it's not a family, it's not called a house, it's a hotel, people move in and out. I believe the place to offer up our request is when a body of believer become in unity, and a house of prayer, when we become the very dwelling of His presence together as a people, longing for Him and doing what pleases His heart, we are the House of prayer. And at that family gathering place, we offer up our requests to the living God, confessing who He is and what He can do. We offer up our sacrifices according to His will. I believe it is then the fullness of Pentecost is poured out on the body. It is then an empowering grace was released upon His believers triumphing over the enemies. The gates of hell shall not prevail!

This weekend I encourage all to gather as family. Joining hearts together aligning with God and men. Bringing our sacrifices, the first crops, the first fruits of your business, ministry, whatever that is. Coming together in that place of rest and joy, celebrating His goodness, then bringing up your request. I believe the Lord will graciously meet us at the house of prayer, and in this coming season positioning us in the place of victory and momentum. Bringing us into the destiny He has intended for us to go.

Peace,
