9 Count off seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain. 10 Then celebrate the Festival of Weeks to the Lord your God by giving a freewill offering in proportion to the blessings the Lord your God has given you. 11 And rejoice before the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name—
Deuteronomy 16:9-11
Sunday, May 19, 2024 we will celebrate, the Feast of Weeks, or Pentecost. Pentecost is a three-fold feast, celebrating God's provision. This feast observes the gathering of the wheat harvest (God's physical provision), the giving of the Torah or God's Law (God's provision of revelation), and the provision of The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2.
In this season it's important to connect your talk to your walk to move into God's purpose for our lives. Set your mind and will to live God's Word, don't be hearers and talkers only, be a do-er and walk out God's Word to fully receive His provision for you.
People with integrity walk safely,
but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed.
Proverbs 10:9
Giving is also a key factor in this season. Not only in giving tithes as usual but also preparing a Firstfruits Offering, a special gift to the Lord.
IT IS THE EXPRESSION OF HARVEST THANKSGIVING.
It is an acknowledgment that God is the Author of the harvest, and He should have the firstfruits of our harvests. We will never prosper unless we are grateful to the bountiful Giver.
The Heavens open and the Spirit is poured out on those who are seeking Him during this Pentecost season to receive supernatural mercy and grace. When you're feeling like you're not going to make it, or you can't keep going, God sends you provision in exactly the way you need it to renew your strength.
This is a season of gathering wisdom as you move forward in the fullness of God's plan. We can mature as quickly as we want to in the wisdom of God, or we can sit and grow stagnant. Even though we waste many years there is good news! The redemptive power of God can restore what is lost quickly!
God can restore all that is lost or wasted, so don't give up on yourself or others who have made a mess of their lives, don't give up because you feel like too much time has been wasted, but be encouraged, restoration can double, triple, quadruple or go seven times faster than our wasted time! God is NOT BOUND to time!
That's why the Bible says that the years the locusts have eaten can be restored.
Connect your walk of faith to this season of Pentecost when we celebrate God's gift of His Holy Spirit. Jesus said that He must return to The Father so that He could send our Advocate, our Comforter, Who will teach us all things and remind us of everything Jesus said while He was on the earth. Let The Holy Spirit teach you and keep you in all your ways and receive all the provision God has for you!
