In celebration of Pentecost, I want to share a “This Is That: Makin’ It Plain” broadcast with you that I did back in January about Holy Spirit.

I also want to share a few Scriptures, some of the references within that broadcast, a link to a blog by the En-Gedi Resource Center entitled “River of Life” by Lois Tverberg , as well as an excerpt from a recent blog post I wrote for RHM (Releasing Heaven Ministries) about this New Era and the importance of the Lord’s Feasts. The Lord is GOD and He is on His pre-appointed timeline. Acts 17:26-31 echoes the significance of time and place.

This Is That: Makin’ It Plain Broadcast:

Scripture References:

John 7:37-39, On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Ezekiel 47: 1-12, Then he brought me back to the door of the temple, and behold, water was issuing from below the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was flowing down from below the south end of the threshold of the temple, south of the altar. Then he brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around on the outside to the outer gate that faces toward the east; and behold, the water was trickling out on the south side. Going on eastward with a measuring line in his hand, the man measured a thousand cubits, and then led me through the water, and it was ankle-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, and it was knee-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, and it was waist-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the water had risen. It was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be passed through. And he said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he led me back to the bank of the river. As I went back, I saw on the bank of the river very many trees on the one side and on the other. And he said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, and enters the sea; when the water flows into the sea, the water will become fresh. And wherever the river goes, every living creature that swarms will live, and there will be very many fish. For this water goes there, that the waters of the sea may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. Fishermen will stand beside the sea. From Engedi to Eneglaim it will be a place for the spreading of nets. Its fish will be of very many kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea. But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they are to be left for salt. And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.”

Revelation 22: 1-5, Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.

Acts 1: 4-5, 8; 2:1-12,  And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” …But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth…When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.” So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?”

A Vision of a Power Plant in the 60’s by Fuchsia Pickett, Facebook post

Excerpt from RHM’s recent blog post, “Solidifying Our Mission & Forging Ahead”:

At the beginning of 2018, I had an open vision of angels with blue-colored sashes blowing trumpets in our city. I had a sense that I had stepped back into Revolutionary War times and that I was standing in a General’s tent where strategies were being forged on how to take the city.

Fast-forward to the end of 2018, I was prompted by the Lord to write a book about these key prophetic encounters that have been transpiring over the last 30 years as they have been tied to Awakening, Harvest and City Transformation. The reason—He was about to do it again!

Passover to Pentecost 2019

What you would not have known is that I actually finished the book and sent it off to the publishing company during Passover 2019 (5779). A few days thereafter, I heard the Lord “summon me to Pentecost.” It took me a few more days to realize that the celebration He wanted me to attend was actually being held in Jerusalem.

I typically do not travel overseas alone but I knew I would be protected since I was being sent. The only assignment other than the Conference was to go to the Garden Tomb.

The glory level at the Conference was extremely high which I knew was somehow historically very significant. I could see in the spirit that there was a great outpouring of that glory beginning to flow down the hills to the nations. I realized the fuller measure of the significance of what I was sensing while I was on our mission trip to the Kurdistan region this past October.

Feast of Tabernacles 2019

We “just so happened” to have traveled there—the region of the birthplace of Abraham and the place of the rivers and the Tower of Babel—during the Feast of Tabernacles. During our last night there, I could “see” the fresh Pentecost outpouring that would bring in the billion soul harvest—I could “see” thousands suddenly getting saved as millions of young people in a nearby region had begun to protest and take to the streets. And in my mind’s eye, I recalled similar protests that had sprung up in various nations. The Lord was beginning to make His move!

However, I was still puzzled by the Lord having me spend time at the Garden Tomb until the last week or so as I have begun to look back past this recent Passover. Last year, the Lord had made each of the Feasts demonstrably unique. As I sensed Awakening begin to resonate around me daily, I saw more clearly that these times and seasons, these “guideposts” that the Lord has already established for us, are there to help us traverse this new “Unknown.”

Guideposts–Times & Seasons

The Feasts are for me guideposts that show forth the Father’s heart, His love, His will, His plan, His power, our identity, our portion and our destination. We are not asked to have blind faith but to have personal faith. We are asked to trust Him because we cannot ever fully “know” like He does. He wants to give us peace and joy. He wants us to know that we do not need to covet, we do not need to grumble and complain, we do not need to fear any enemy; whatever we have need of, we merely have to ask. He is that good.

I find that this grace to write this post coming during this time between Passover and Pentecost, the Month of Iyar, the month of Issachar who understood the times & seasons and knew what to do, as being an indicator to pay attention to what has historically happened during this timeframe.

After His Resurrection, Jesus taught the disciples His covenant secrets as they were ushering in a new “unknown”, unprecedented era wherein they would now be the ones bringing forth the kingdom with power; He would transition some of them into apostles. And He would give them the Great Commission.

(Jesus also told them to wait for Holy Spirit that He mentioned as Rivers of Living Water in John 7:37-39. Holy Spirit would be the One who would give them power to cross divides—enabling them to go from Jerusalem to Judea, Samaria, and the end of the earth. Acts 1:8. And Holy Spirit has indeed come—like a mighty rushing wind!)

 Pentecost is coming!

It has been my heart cry for over 30 years to see Awakening with such a move of Worship & Prayer that it brings both the Harvest and City & Regional Transformation. And, in what seems like a sudden moment, the stage has been set.

So, we yield Lord to Your Outpouring! We jump into Your River and we flow in it to bring life to the dead places—we decree that wherever the River goes, there is LIFE!
