WHY THE NEXT 10 DAYS BEFORE PENTECOST 2020 ARE IMPORTANT

Ac 1:1 ¶ The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Ac 1:2 Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, …

 ¶ Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey. And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.  These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

(Acts 1:1 - 14 )

 

Jesus, 40 days after His resurrection from the dead ascended into heaven, where according to Hebrews, we know He is now our Great High priest ever making intercession for us.

This year 2020, the Julian Calendar has great alignment with the Jewish Calendar (5780) in terms of the bible feasts. As a result the Feasts of Passover (Easter week), Feast of first of the Sabbaths (Resurrection Sunday), Feast of weeks (i.e. "Festival of Reaping" or "Festival of gladness"), Pentecost or Shavuot as the Jews call it (7 weeks from the resurrection), all have great alignment. On 31st May 2020, we shall celebrate the Feast of Pentecost which is the 50th day, when the 7 weeks Feast of weeks ends. The bible details all these feasts quite well (Exodus 34:22, Deuteronomy 16:10); from both the books of Acts (Acts 2) and that of Exodus 34 and Deuteronomy (Deut.16) many Bible scholars agree that this is the same day when God gave us both the written word and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. So as we are looking to celebrate this Pentecost under lockdown (Lockdown being almost a type/shadow of sabbath), I want to speak to us about the 10 days preceding the Pentecost of 2020.

Since this lockdown begun, we as a congregation in my home church have received both the prophetic guidance of what we ought to do and have as well observed to see the specific words God has been speaking to us over the last 5years.

i.                     First the LORD led us on keeping watch in the deep of the night as the enemy was using that same time to work against the church to weaken it.

ii.                  Then between the resurrection Sunday to date the word of instruction by different respected prophets globally to the church has been specific: "Celebrate the Victory of Christ!".

iii.                Another word that came globally was for the church to continue daily in Holy communion at our family alters.

My purpose for writing is yet another word. If you have missed the last two "memos" above, please make sure not to miss this one this time; now begs:

Since the resurrection Sunday, I have had an unction that the last 10 days to this years Pentecost will be so crucial for the church of Christ in terms of some sort of download for the ERA that we entered into. I had no clear idea what this download was, but I felt I needed to personally hallow those days in preparation to receive something from the LORD that was not ordinary. I have told my pastors as much previously.

In the last 7 days however, I feel that the LORD has reinforced that knowledge in me. My unction is that we are to consecrate ourselves during these 10 days starting this Thursday 21st May 2020 till Pentecost Sunday on 31st May 2020. I believe God is going to download into his Sons and daughters some real unique giftings and Grace that amaze even those that receive them. This will almost be akin to the outpourings and giftings of the church in the Acts 2 portion, but with a new twist of dominion on them.

These giftings and Grace will be for His purposes in this new ERA. Many of you have even started to manifest gifts you never had before the lockdown. I mean physical enablements or talents. Some of you will manifest talents you have desired but never were really good at. Others will be enabled with lifetime attributes e.g. in leadership, with wisdom of the world but with Godliness, etc. I cannot even begin to elaborate the full extent.

If you can fast in some of these days please do, though I do not state this as a rule. Just ensure to separate those days for yourself in a special way, as a way to prepare yourself for a download from heaven. Keep at your work but ensure to have a special PERSONAL re-dedication. Make time in a unique way to sanctify yourself in those 10 days as something is coming through for certain.

We walk by faith and not by sight. I can only tell you that my unction in the Spirit tells me that something really big is breaking loose in those 10 days and you had better be positioned to be a partaker of it.

 

Shalom!
