The Fire of God

The Feast of Shavu’ot began at sundown last night and ends at sundown tomorrow. The meaning of the word Shavu’ot is 'weeks', so it is also known as The Feast of Weeks. That is because it is celebrated seven weeks after the second day of Passover. As Believers in Yahshua, we know it as Pentecost, which in Greek means “fiftieth,” referring to the fact that it happens 50 days after Passover.

You will know if you have joined our online teachings at His Fragrance or have had the opportunity to listen to them online, that this is a very significant time for us as believers! And not more so I believe, than in this season right now!

Shavu’ot celebrates God meeting with His people in a powerful way. He made a covenant when He came down on Mount Sinai in fire, yet now it is a celebration of the new covenant and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, who comes to each of us as a fire!

We need that fire, more than ever before we need the ‘dunamis’ power of God, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, His fullness, counsel, guidance and leading!!!

When the disciples waited as Yahshua had asked them in the upper room, '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.'

Of the hundreds in Jerusalem that day, they heard the sound of the mighty rushing wind, they heard the disciples speak in in their own languages, some were perplexed and some mocked. Peter stood up and said:

‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
And they shall prophesy.
I will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
And it shall come to pass
That whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Shall be saved.’

I pray that this Shavu’ot, if you haven't already been baptised by the fire of God, that you would cry out to God for this! Those of us filled with the Holy Spirit, that we would be filled once again by the fire of the Holy Spirit! That He will fill us with His fire and the power that we need in these last days to walk in His purposes and to do even the greater works God has called us to!

"..For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?  If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

Let us earnestly desire it, as our Father gives liberally and I pray you will take time to call out from your innermost being to the Lord this Shavu'ot....

Have a blessed, peaceful and Holy Spirit fire filled Shavuot!

In His love Michèle
