The New Month of Sivan
Sivan is the third month on God’s spiritual calendar when we move out of transition into a time of extravagant provision. Provision, by definition, is supply made in advance for future use. This is how the God of the Bible operates.
We see this principle demonstrated in the account of creation in Genesis. God made everything man would ever need before He created man himself. He provided lavishly for Adam before He breathed life into Adam’s lungs.
God is the giver of all good things. Romans 8:32 says, “He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?” He does this because of His great love for us, as shown in John 3:16.
God’s extravagant gifts are displayed in both the Old and New Testaments. Leviticus 23:15-22 outlines God’s instructions for the Feast of Weeks or Shavuot, which occurred 50 days after Passover. This feast was connected to the grain harvest and also commemorated the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai.
In the New Testament, before Jesus ascended to heaven, He was with His disciples in Jerusalem celebrating the same feast. He told His followers to stay in the city and wait for the gift the Father promised. “For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 1:5) The Holy Spirit was given to the believers on Shavuot, also known as the day of Pentecost.
God initiates covenants with his people because of His love for us. These blessings are ours in Christ — all we have to do is receive them!

222: God Will Validate Us with Signs, Miracles & Wonders
Do you ever feel like numbers are following you?
There have been several moments in my life where the same numbers turn up time and time again. At one point it was 555. Recently I’ve been seeing the number 222. I believe this is the Lord speaking.
What is the meaning of this number? A few things come to mind.
In the Bible, two is the number of a “faithful witness,” or someone who is set apart for God. Also worth noting, the word “wisdom” is mentioned 222 times in scripture. Lastly, Acts 2:22 is the only scripture in the whole of the Bible that mentions “signs, miracles and wonders” in the same verse.
Watch this short video as we unpack what this revelation could mean for us. May you be blessed as you seek to align with the Lord!

Join Us For Pentecost Sunday
We are in one of the most important spiritual seasons that we encounter each year: The 50 days between Passover and Pentecost.
Did you realize that the gestation period after a woman conceives a child until the child is recognized as a fetus and their identity as a human is imparted is 50 days? Pentecost is like this: We transition from the redemption of Passover into the new identity of fresh revelation, new fruit and spiritual manifestation that comes with Pentecost.
I want to encourage you during these next 50 days to process the revelation that the Lord is speaking to you about. Get ready, because Pentecost Sunday will be a very powerful time when we are renewed and refreshed by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Please make plans to join us on Sunday, May 28 at 11 a.m. and we encounter the Holy Spirit during our Pentecost service.
