It's Another Shavu'ot
by PJ
In Yochanan/John 4, an incident is recorded whereby Yeshua's talmidim (disciples) had gone to buy food while Yeshua rested by Ya'akov's (Jacob's) well. As He rested, a Samaritan woman came to draw water and Yeshua asked her to give Him a drink.
Instead of drawing Him water, the woman began to question why a Jew would ask a Samaritan for a drink because she looked through carnal vision at the separation between Jews and Samaritans. To which, Yeshua told her if she had only recognized Who had asked her for a drink, she would have asked HIM for a drink of living water.
Afterwards Yeshua is recorded in Yochanan/John 4:23-24 AMP saying, "A time will come, however, indeed it is already here, when the true (genuine) worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth (reality) for the Father is seeking just such people as these as His worshipers. God is a Spirit ( a spiritual Being) and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth (reality)."
He then announced to her that He was the Messiah and the woman left her water jar and went into the town and began telling the people.
In Acts 2 it is recorded that when the festival of Shavu'ot (Pentecost) had arrived, there came a sound like a violent wind and all were filled with Ruach HaKodesh and spoke in different languages as the Spirit enabled them to speak. And immediately, Kefa (Peter) began to speak to the people.
Great moves of G-d in the earth are always preceded by great moves in the Spirit! This is why we must worship G-d not only with our natural minds but with our spirits. What comes into the natural realm is preceded by what occurs in the spiritual realm. This is why true prophets of G-d know what's coming before it arrives. They are able to see and hear in the realm of the spirit.
One of the great prophets of G-d was Yo'el (Joel). It is recorded in Joel 2:28-29 AMP "And afterward I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. Even upon the menservants in those days will I pour out My Spirit."
Lately in the natural realm there's a weariness and tiredness that has been falling upon G-d's people. But take heart...a great wind is about to blow upon the people of G-d. What I have been hearing in the Spirit is a sound of the strongest wind I've ever heard. A massive move of the Spirit is coming for those who are prepared to receive it. There is such a sweetness in the wind to soon blow.....I cannot even describe it. Words literally fail me to be able to describe it.
How do we prepare? We worship G-d in spirit and in truth and walk in love.
