Holy Spirit

The Everlasting Pentecost

Leave a comment

“When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.” — Acts 2:1, NASB

I cry out to you as one crying in the wilderness: awaken your heart, for the Holy Spirit has not left us. He has not retreated to history’s quiet corners. He has not faded into the shadows of theology. Pentecost was not a moment to be remembered; it is a reality to be lived. The fire that fell in that upper room did not burn out—it spread. And it waits even now to consume you with power from on high. Embrace the Everlasting Pentecost in your life.

Pentecost came—and it stayed. This is the essence of The Everlasting Pentecost.

You who feel distant, who have known the Holy Spirit only as a name in a creed or a whisper in a worship song, listen! He is here. Not in concept or ritual, but in power and presence. “Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16, NASB). This is not poetic suggestion. It is truth that shatters complacency. The God who shook the upper room dwells in you.

The early disciples did not seek a passing experience. They waited in obedience and hunger, their hearts united. And suddenly, like a mighty rushing wind, God Himself came to dwell in men. That wind still blows. That fire still burns. The presence of the Spirit has not diminished—we have simply ceased to press in. In embracing The Everlasting Pentecost, we must press in continually.

We have grieved Him by replacing intimacy with activity. We have traded awe for entertainment. Our insensibility to the Spirit is not due to His absence but to our distraction. Yet, He waits. The dove of Heaven still descends upon the hearts that make room.

O child of God, you were not meant to live powerless. You were not called to survive off past revivals or secondhand stories. You were called to live Pentecost daily. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8, NASB) And so is His Spirit.

If He is God, then He is always now. If He is God, then He is always here. There is no Elsewhere with El Shaddai. The Spirit is not bound by yesterday’s failures or tomorrow’s fears. He is the living power of God breaking into the present moment with eternal purpose.

You must not settle. Stir yourself. Let the cry of your heart rise: “Holy Spirit, come afresh! Fall on me again! I will not be content with the memory of Your presence—I must know You now and experience The Everlasting Pentecost.”

You must believe that Pentecost is your portion, not because of your strength, but because of Yeshua’s promise. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…”(Acts 1:8, NASB). This is not suggestion. It is a summons. It is time to rise, to repent of apathy, and to seek the fire that never dies.

God has not changed. The Spirit has not withdrawn. Pentecost is not past—it is present. Live in the reality of The Everlasting Pentecost.

Prayer

Father, in the mighty name of Yeshua, I repent of my unbelief and distraction. I have known of Your Spirit, but I long to know Him. Send Your fire again. Fill me with power from on high. Let me live in the fullness of Pentecost—not as history, but as my daily reality. Open my eyes to see Your presence, open my heart to receive Your power. Let me walk in obedience and boldness as the early disciples did. Let this day—this very moment—be the upper room of my soul. Come, Ruach HaKodesh. I make room for You. Amen.

The Fire of His Presence

O Lord, who rides upon the storm, whose breath ignites the flame,
You stir the dust to rise and dance, and call Your children’s name.
In wind and fire, You still appear, as on that holy day,
Let every heart become Your throne, and never drift away.

Faith, Spiritual

The Power of God

The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is His name. – Exodus 15:3 (NASB) This verse reveals the power of God in action. He is not passive or distant—He is a mighty warrior, actively fighting for His people. From the battles of Israel to the spiritual warfare we face today, His strength remains unmatched. When we call on Him, we are not alone; the Lord Himself goes before us, bringing victory in His name.

When we call upon El Gibbor, the Mighty God, we are not praying to a distant deity who is indifferent to our struggles. We are crying out to the Warrior-King who fights on our behalf. His power is beyond measure, and His victories are absolute. The battle belongs to the Lord, and when we seek Him in prayer, He moves mightily in response with the power of God.

God, the Mighty Warrior

The psalmist declares, “Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.” (Psalm 24:8, NASB) This is the God to whom we pray—a God who does not lose battles. When we lift our voices to Him, we are not pleading with weakness; we are aligning ourselves with the One who has never known defeat. His triumphs show the power of God.

How often do we forget this truth? We face trials, oppression, and spiritual warfare, yet we act as if we are alone. But we are not alone. The King of Glory stands ready, waiting for His people to cry out so that He may show Himself strong on their behalf.

Are We on the Lord’s Side?

When Joshua stood before Jericho, he encountered a mighty figure with a drawn sword. He asked, “Are You for us or for our enemies?” But the response was clear: “No; rather, I have come now as captain of the army of the Lord.” (Joshua 5:13-14, NASB)

This is a sobering reminder: God does not take sides in human conflicts—we must take His side. He is the Commander of the heavenly armies, and our duty is to align ourselves with Him. Too often, we pray for God to fight for our personal agendas, but true victory comes when we surrender to His will and understand the power of God.

God Gives Victory to His People

Prayer is not merely a religious duty—it is a divine invitation. When we pray, we activate the power of God in our lives. Scripture assures us, “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:57, NASB)

Victory is not something we strive for in our own strength; it is something God gives. When we humble ourselves before Him, when we seek Him with all our hearts, He answers—not always in the way we expect, but always in the way we need. His response is never weak or uncertain. He moves with power, establishing His victory in the lives of those who trust Him, showcasing the power of God.

More Than Conquerors Through Him

The battles we face may seem overwhelming, but the Word of God reminds us: “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” (Romans 8:37, NASB) Notice the wording—more than conquerors. God does not just help us survive; He makes us victorious beyond what we could have imagined.

Through Him, we do not just endure. We overcome. Our prayers are not empty words thrown into the wind; they are declarations of faith that summon the power of God Almighty. He fights for us, and because of His love, we are never defeated.

Calling Upon the Mighty One

Today, if you feel weary, if the battle seems too strong, remember who fights for you. Lift your voice in prayer, for the Lord is mighty in battle. He does not turn a deaf ear to His children. He hears. He responds. He moves with the power of God.

But as we pray, we must ask ourselves: Are we truly on the Lord’s side? Are we seeking His will above our own? Are we fighting for His kingdom, or are we asking Him to fight for our own causes? The victory belongs to those who align themselves with the Commander of the Lord’s army.

Let us press into His presence with confidence, knowing that the Mighty Warrior stands ready to bring victory into our lives.

Prayer

El Gibbor, Mighty Warrior, we call upon You today. We acknowledge Your strength and power, and we trust that You fight for us. Forgive us for the times we have doubted, for the moments we have feared instead of standing firm in faith. Help us to be on Your side, fully surrendered to Your will. We surrender every battle into Your hands, knowing that You are mighty in battle. Arise, O Lord, and show Yourself strong on our behalf. We believe that through You, we are more than conquerors. In Yeshua’s name, Amen.

Faith

Faith That Clings

Beloved, reflect on the faith of Jairus. He came to Jesus not just for healing but for life itself. His daughter lay at the point of death, and he knew that only the Lord could save her. He cast aside all pride and doubt, falling at Jesus’ feet and crying out for Him to come to his house. Yet, on the way, the news came that shattered any hope he might have held in the natural: “Your daughter has died. Why bother the Teacher any further?” (Mark 5:35, AMP).

How often have you felt the same? You’ve prayed, you’ve believed, but the situation has gone from bad to worse. What you hoped for seems lost. But listen to the words of Jesus to Jairus, words that still speak to you today: “Do not be afraid; only keep on believing” (Mark 5:36, AMP). Even when it seems like the promise has died, even when the delay feels endless, trust in the One who has power over death and life.

Jairus didn’t turn back. He didn’t let the news of death stop him. He clung to Jesus, walking with Him all the way to his house. His faith wasn’t just in what Jesus could do—it was in who Jesus is. This is the kind of faith you must have: a faith that clings to Jesus even when the situation seems hopeless, even when the world declares it is over.

When Jesus arrived at Jairus’ home, the mourners laughed at Him. To them, the situation was final. Death had already taken hold. But Jesus dismissed them, declaring, “The child is not dead but sleeping” (Mark 5:39, AMP). Beloved, what seems dead to you is only asleep in the hands of the Savior. When the Lord enters the house, life returns, healing flows, and restoration begins.

Even now, the Lord is coming to His house—His Church. He brings not just healing for what is broken but resurrection for what is lost. But will you walk with Him in faith? Will you trust Him even when the promise seems delayed, even when the situation appears beyond repair? The faith of Jairus calls you to cling to the Lord, to press into His presence, and to believe that His power is greater than any loss.

Pressing in Until Full Restoration

Jairus didn’t stop at the news of death, and neither should you. When the Lord enters His house, He comes to restore not partially but completely. Jairus’ daughter was not only healed; she was brought back to life. The Lord doesn’t just give back what was taken; He restores it abundantly. The thief must repay sevenfold (Proverbs 6:31), and the Lord promises to restore the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25).

But restoration requires faith that presses in. Do not let go after the first sign of healing. Stay close to the Lord. Like Jairus, walk with Him all the way. Trust Him to bring life to every area where the enemy has brought death. Trust Him to restore joy, hope, and purpose. And trust Him to give abundantly more than you could ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).

A Call to Faith

Beloved, the Lord is coming to His house, and His presence will bring healing and restoration. But will you trust Him fully? Will you cling to Him when the promise seems delayed, when the report seems final, when hope feels lost? Do not be afraid; only keep on believing. The One who enters the house has power over every situation. He will restore everything the enemy has stolen—and more.

Let your faith rise, even in the face of death. Press into the Lord until His presence fills the house and His promises are fulfilled. Cling to Him, trust in Him, and believe that His restoration will be complete, overflowing, and abundant.

A Prayer for Faith and Restoration

Lord Jesus, we thank You for the faith of Jairus, who trusted You even when all seemed lost. Help us to cling to You in the same way, to walk with You through every delay and doubt, and to believe in Your power to restore. We invite You into Your house, Lord—into our lives, our church, and our circumstances. Bring healing where there is brokenness, life where there is death, and restoration where the enemy has stolen. We trust You for more, Lord, even to the overflow. In Your mighty name, we pray. Amen.

Love

The Sovereign Love of God

Beloved people of God, the chosen and cherished ones, let us take heart and find comfort in the unwavering truth that our God is sovereign in His love towards us. From the very beginning, He set us apart, not because of our own merit, but because of His boundless grace and infinite love. As Psalm 33:12 declares, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance.” We are indeed blessed, chosen not by chance, but by the divine purpose and perfect will of our Heavenly Father.

In every season, God’s sovereign love remains faithful to His promises. Just as He delivered Israel with an uplifted arm (Acts 13:17), so too does He rescue and uphold us today. His faithfulness endures forever, never wavering, never failing. He assures us in Isaiah 41:9, “You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not rejected you.” In moments of doubt or trial, we can rest in the certainty that He will never leave nor forsake us.

Our God is able—His power knows no bounds. He who calls us by name (Isaiah 43:1) and has redeemed us is mighty to save. His arm is not too short to reach us, nor is His strength insufficient to support us. When we face insurmountable odds, we can be confident that His ability to deliver is limitless, and His plans for us are for good, to give us a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). This reflects the sovereign love of God, which is powerful and ever-present in our lives.

God’s truth is our anchor. He declares in Isaiah 43:10, “You are My witnesses… and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He.” In a world filled with uncertainty and deception, His Word stands firm. He is the God of truth, and His promises are steadfast and sure, a testament to the sovereign love of God that guides and protects us.

As the sovereign Lord, He rules over all creation with supreme authority. He has chosen us as His own special treasure (Psalm 135:4), and nothing can separate us from His love. His sovereignty ensures that all things work together for our good, for we are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). No power in heaven or on earth can thwart His plans for His people. This is the essence of the sovereign love of God.

Above all, God’s love for us is immeasurable. He says in Malachi 1:2, “I have loved you,” and this love is not fleeting or conditional. It is a steadfast, covenantal love that endures through all generations. We are His beloved, His precious children, and He delights in us. The sovereign love of God is unwavering and eternal.

Therefore, let us embrace this divine calling with hearts full of gratitude and reverence. Stand firm in your identity as God’s chosen ones, and proclaim His excellencies. Live as a testimony to His goodness, knowing that He who has called us is faithful and He will do it (1 Thessalonians 5:24). Let us shine as beacons of His sovereign love, drawing others to the light of Christ, that they too may experience the immeasurable riches of His grace and the boundless depths of His love.
