God's Word is your answer, and I am so excited

I want to thank all of my partners for standing

Mission of Paula White Ministries to make sure that the
Gospel is preached around the world.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
And I love hearing from you.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Say send me your praise report, send me your prayer request,
because we bombard heaven. This is Sheila e. F And
she says, Pastor Paula, I've gone through severe depression and
had been taking medications for a fifteen year period. But now,
to the glory of God, I have been healed and
no longer take any medications. I've seen the hand of
(01:42):
the Lord move in my life mightily. I could not
imagine God's showing me mercy in such a way. I
thank God for your ministry, Pastor Paula, and for how
you love the Lord and his people. God increase you
on every side and establish your goings. I am so
excited for Sheila. You know, God uses all kinds of things.
(02:03):
He is a healer. And if you're sick, let and
believe God to heal you from the crown of your
head to the soul of your feet. If your family
needs a miracle, believe God to restore your family. God
is a faithful God. I want to get into the
word as we talk about. In a week from now,
we're going to have Pentecost, and that is so important
(02:23):
in the Jewish Ishabot, which is June first through the third,
and for the Christian it is June the eighth, Pentecost.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
It's when the Church was birth.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
But for both and we understand this is a divine feast,
an appointment that God has for us, that reveals to
us some of his mysteries.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
It's about harvest.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Remember when Peter stood up, three thousand were saved. We'll
get ready for revival. Get ready for harvest. Now, let's
go into the sanctuary and hear the word acts chapter two,
verse one through four. And when the day of Pentecost,
let me hear you was fully come. They were all
(03:04):
with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came
a sound from heaven as of a rushing, mighty wind,
and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
And there appeared into them cloven tongues, like as a fire,
and it sat upon each of them, and they were
all filled with the holy ghosts and begin to speak
with other tongues as His spirit gave them utter. And
(03:26):
you can continue to read and you can see what
God will do throughout that chapter in the next few
chapters with the power of pentecosts Leviticus, chapter twenty three.
Let's look at verse fifteen through seventeen. From the day
after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of
the wave offering, count off seven full weeks or forty
nine days. Count off fifty days and fifty means Pentecost.
(03:50):
Count off fifty days up to the day after the
seventh Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain
to the Lord. Will be important new grain from where
where you live. Bring tu loaves made of two tints
of an ephaf of fine flower, baked with yeast, as
a wave offering of first fruits to the Lord, Spirit
(04:11):
of the Living God. Do what only you can do,
not by mind and not by power. But I pray
a mighty outpouring that you would just invade this place today,
invade into our hearts, into the very fabrication of our being.
We take off any limitations in our mind and our soul,
and our and our body. God, and we just ask
you to pour out your fresh anointing upon us today.
(04:34):
Let there be such a supernatural encounter that we will
leave here saying, wasn't it great to be in the
house of God that we had a divide encounter that
so supernaturally transformed us. It changed every aspect of our life.
We believe you, We believe your word. We stand on
the precipice of I believe one of the greatest outpourings
(04:55):
that you will pour out your spirit upon all flesh,
and your sons and your daughter will prophesy, and you
will even raise up your young men and your handmaidens. God,
and you'll use us all mightily in these last days.
Let it be today, God, let us experience pentecosts fresh power,
fresh fire, fresh anointing, fresh and filling, fresh out, pouring,
(05:21):
fresh baptism. And the name which is above every name,
the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Do it. And
everybody said, Amen, slap somebody a high five, say power.
God's about to hit you upside your head. Amen. Just
look at them and say, you're sitting next to blessing.
We love you. Be seated. So after we look at
Leviticus chapter twenty three, when they counted down forty nine
(05:44):
days that would bring them to the fiftieth day, which
is what is known as Pentecost. Pentecost means fifty important.
I'm going to teach you some but at the same time,
I believe we will be moving with the Holy Spirit
in the process of revealing salvation for man God kind.
God established these holy days are his own holidays. They
(06:06):
would be around the harvest seasons that would be established
in the Middle East, so they would be around the agriculture.
You find that in Leviticus chapter twenty three, Exodus chapter
twenty three. And you would say, isn't this just old Testament?
You see Old Testament concealed, New Testament revealed. God says
that there is great blessing when both come together. So no,
(06:28):
it wasn't just the Old Testament. Jesus did not come
to do away with the law, but to fulfill it.
He did not abolish it, but he came to kram
it full. And so James says that we are not
held unto the ritual of the law. So we don't
do exactly as they did in the Old Testament, but
we are not released from the principle of these divine appointments.
(06:49):
Of what God has said. Jesus himself practiced all the
feasts the divine appointments. The early Church did for thousands
of years. Actually it wasn't until that there was a
man that rose up and begin to change the times,
which we will look out in Daniel seven twenty five.
And the laws, which is a very dangerous thing because
when we do it God's way, there's power, there's provision. Amen.
(07:13):
So just as people harvested their crops around these three
festival There are three feces and seven different feasts around
these festival seasons God's holiest days. So is God harvesting
his kingdom. So you'll see that the Pentecost has a
very specific theme that these holy days have meaning that
(07:37):
build upon each other. They're not just random, they're not.
They're so detailed. It will excite you as you get
in the Word and study the Word because the divine
appointments that God set up together progressively begin to reveal
how God works with humanity, what God is doing. Doc.
So today is Pentecost is God's day. It's God's whole day.
(08:01):
That's exciting. See if you're like me, and the reason
I always name out everybody's birthdays. I obviously like birthdays.
Remember size eight all right. Birthdays are awesome. Anniversaries are awesome,
you know. I like a lot of them. And we
celebrate a Memorial Day. I had to cook out at
my house. I had some people over, We swam, we
did all kinds of stuff. I like holidays. Anybody like holidays?
(08:24):
Come on, they're breaks, right, when we just stop the norm,
you get off the treadmill, you just get off the
rut that some of you are in in life, and
you really experience living. You kind of slow down and
enjoy your friends, your family. There's a celebration were God
says I want to interrupt things. I want to stop
(08:46):
because these are my days.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
God sets up some days and some holidays. We're not
going to miss some. Amen. And so the promise of
Pentecost is the revelation of God's Word and the revelation
of the Holy Spirit. So two permanent or or i'd
say pre eminent themes, and you'll see that they are prevailing.
Themes that emerge out of Pentecost is revelation and harvest.
(09:11):
So as we dig through this and you see the
importance you'll experience Pentecost today, expect revelation. Revelation is a
supernatural unveiling things that could not be seen by natural eyes,
that are seen by a spirit eye. So expected that
God's going to release revelation. One word from God can
change absolutely everything. You see. It's more than just hearing
(09:33):
a word. The prophet Isaiah talked about and the prophet
Amus talked about sing a word that God will show
you some things today. Open now, eyes, Oh Holy Spirit.
Then it's about revelation, but it's also about harvest. I
believe your sons and daughters will be saved. I believe
there's a great harvest coming in. I believe a great
revival is going to hit this church, hit our families,
(09:55):
hit our life. I believe that we're moving into something supernatural.
Belie even the last days, that God will pour out
a spirit upon all flesh. I believe that all of
us will experience Pentecost. So if it's important to God,
it must be important to me. God has set up
these holy days to be kept forever, he says, and
(10:17):
Leviticus twenty three one through four, he says, the Lord
spake unto Moses, saying, speak to the children of Israel,
and say to them concerning the feast of the Lord,
which you shall proclaim to be holy combocations, Even these
are my feast. These are the feasts of the Lord,
even holy combocations, which you shall proclaim in their seasons,
their set times. Now we know a new Testament. This
(10:38):
is the birthing of the Church. This is the outpouring
of the Holy Spirit. So let me ask you a
few questions, because what I'm doing is establishing that this
truly is. There are certain things Sabbath belongs to God.
We know that, but there are seven feasts during three
feet season that God says, these are my divine appointments.
So just a quick question. If your husband or wife,
(11:02):
for let's say, boyfriend or girlfriend tells you that they
want you to set time aside and spend it with them.
If Dana wants time with you, Victor and says I
need a date, I live by my calendar. How many
of you, how many of you your calendar is important?
I hope you lift your hand come home, because if
you can't manage your time, it's hard to manage anything else.
(11:24):
I live by my calendar, even with Asher, my grandkids
and Nick, I pencil in and I put Asher time,
we put date night. And so if John said, if
John don't even have to say it, if I just
feel that vibe or he just looks at me, I'm
like he needs time. We need time. An if you
go on vacations, family vacations, time away. So if you're
(11:48):
a husband, your wife, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, someone that's
very meaningful to you said I need time, how many
of you would spend time with them? They asked you
to pencil them in put them on to your calendar.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Our primary purpose for forty years of ministry remains to
evangelize Him, preach the good news of the Gospel, plus
all of our humanitarian outreaches in the US and across
the globe. God's biblical feast season of chevat S starting

(12:25):
the Holy Spirit can move in your life like the

Speaker 6 (12:40):

Speaker 3 (14:07):
I pray you've enjoyed the Word.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Just before we get back, I want to thank you
once again for standing with Paula White Ministry. And if
you are not a partner, why don't you go to
Paula White dot org and find out what all are
the benefits of partnership and what do we do at
Paula White Ministry.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
I'd love to hold your.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Hand to walk side by side and do great things
for the Kingdom of God. God is moving and He's
using this ministry. It is good ground. I believe that
as you hold our hand, we all advance together for God,
for his kingdom and for the great things we'll do
and see so many souls saved. Now let's get back
(14:47):
into the Word. So what happens. It's important because this
meaning of festival is that this can reoccur repeatedly in
our lives. And this is important because the Hebrew view,
the Hebrew view of time is not static. It's dynamic.
(15:10):
Now understand this. It's different than the Greek. It's different
than the way that most maybe even what you've you've seen.
When Hebrews think about a feast, they're always looking and
pointing ahead, not just the year behind. The remembrance is
not static like this happened two thousand years ago. It
is literally like they become one with it. Meaning Biblical
(15:31):
holidays are past historical events that continue on a spiritual
level to be active and present. So if you talk
to a Jewish person who's saved right now, if you
talk to someone who knows Jesus, they understand Old Testament
and New Testament. They believe that their celebration of Pentecost
(15:51):
today is bringing them on the same spiritual level as
the apostles that were in the Upper Room. I believe
that too. I believe that God is here for you today.
I believe this is not just a good Bible story,
but this is an encounter. This is an experience to
go from glory to glory. So it's important you understand
(16:11):
that God doesn't seek to be a mystery, but rather
he wants to be a divine discovery to you. That
the Biblical holidays are clearly days of destiny and times
for transformation in your life. So I pray that today
God will reveal to you his word and reveal to
you his spirit in a new way. Pentecost is a
(16:32):
celebration with the giving of the greatest gifts possible, God's
Word and God's Spirit. So there were two Pentecosts, the
one on Mount Sinai and the one in Acts chapter
two in the Upper Room. In the Old Testament, God
presented the gift on Mount Sinai in the form of
the tour the first five books, the Word of God,
the Word came forth, you know it. In the New Testament,
(16:55):
they were in the upper room and there was a suddenly,
and they all begin to speak in new tongues, and
they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. Come on,
there was an outpouring of the Spirit of God. Remember
all this is significant for you as you honor the
Holy Spirit today, as you honor and just meet God,
as you just say God, I'm here for you. I
(17:16):
want a divine encounter. Get ready for harvest, Get ready
for an outpouring of God's Spirit. In verse seventeen, God says,
I will pour out my spirit. To pour out means
to gush, shout, means to pour forth, to run greedily out.
I will pour out my spirit on Pentecost. Pentecost means
fifty and Acts chapter two. The outpouring of the Holy
(17:37):
Spirit was on the fiftieth day after the resurrection. You see,
can I take you through a few details real quick?
Say bring it on, Pastor Paula. Jesus died on Passover.
Passover is a feast season with three feasts. So you
have Passover, you have first Fruits during that time. Jesus
dies on Passover. On the second day of Passover. He
(17:58):
arose on a holiday that is called First Fruits, which
was the agriccultural holiday. It's what we what we read about.
They had to wave barley before them that was the
first grain harvest, and as they would wave that, it
would signal a promise to come to the second harvest.
You see, Jesus would be the first fruits. The second
(18:19):
first fruits would be the Church. It would point forth
and say it promises to come. As I wave up
and bring myself as an offering, there is a church
that is going to be birth forty nine count on
the fiftieth day, and the church will be born on
the second day it passover. He rose, Thank God that
he didn't stay down. He got up, Victor. He got
(18:42):
up and conquered death, hell and the grave. And in
ancient times of First frut offering was from that barley harvest.
It was given to the Lord as that wave offering.
It would be wave before the Lord? Are you with me?
Wave before the Lord with thanksgiving and expectation. So as
they waved at barley, it was sending a signal saying
(19:02):
I expect, I believe, and I'm grateful. It was an
expectation of a promise to come. If you had an
abundant early harvest, you were guaranteed a more abundant later harvest.
Or get with me, because there's a day where there's
a day where it will overtake both harvest, and there
(19:23):
will be no such thing as time, but it will
be seed harvest. It won't be seed time harvest. It'll
just be wave after wave after wave after wave of
God's glory in God's goodness. So watch. Not only was
the first fruit sign the greater harvest to come, but
it started the forty nine days of countdown to Chavat
(19:43):
or to Pentecost. Nothing is random to God. How many
of you know that no such thing as coincidence. So
it was arranged that Jesus would die on Passover, that
he would raise from the dead on first fruits. According
to First Corinthians, Chapter fifteen, verse twenty. He would be
the first fruits of those who had fallen asleep or
(20:04):
those who had died after he arose. He instructed the
disciples in Acts chapter one, verse four and five, do
not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father
promise for John baptized with water. But in a few
days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. Now
watch what happens. The one son, through his obedience, will
(20:25):
bring forth many sons on the day of Pentecost. His
resurrection or first fruits started the day and the counting
off to the countdown of forty nine to the day
of Pentecost, which was the Father's gift, the biggest biblical
celebration on record, and God himself would pour out experience
(20:46):
his spirit. Now remember the historical is for the present
reoccurrence and for the future. What God did on Pinecost
was he rocked the house. God rocked the house. Today
rock the house, and three thousand people were saved in
one day. Do it again, Holy Spirit, Do it again, God,
(21:08):
rock the house this morning. Shake us up. God. I
pray today that it will not be an ordinary day,
but an extraordinary day of God's outpouring, that the spirit
of God will be released on you in a fresh
and powerful way, that everything in you that has been
dorm and everything in you that has been dying will
have life again, will be reactivated. Today. You're going to
(21:30):
get revelation. Today, you're gonna get wisdom. How do you
say that? Because I understand the feast. I understand Pentecosts.
Do it again, pour out your spirit and bring forth
a great harvest. Now, in the name of Jesus, I'm
speaking over your family right now. I'm speaking over your
children night. Now, I'm prophesying over your finances right now,
(21:52):
I'm prophesying over your body right now. Do it again, Lord,
and bring forth a harvest, a harvest of healing, a
harvest of restor, a harvest of salvation, a harvest for
your glory. Do it again, Lord, Do it again. Lord,
Do it again. Lord, do it again. It's Pentecost, And
on Pentecost you pour out your spirit. On Pentecost, you
(22:15):
bring forth the harvest. On Pentecost you reveal to us
certain things. What are one of those things that God
does on Pentecost? Be seated? Because I got a couple
more levels to take you watch God does in fifty
days four hundred years of bondage, four hundred years of captivity,
(22:38):
four hundred years of extreme abuse. And if four hundred
years was undone in fifty days, I came to let
you know that today on Pentecost, whatever you've been going
through for a long time, God is about to undo suddenly,
(22:58):
whatever he's been plaguing your bloodline, whatever you've been waiting
for a long time, whatever has been carried down from
generation to generation. God says, suddenly.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I pray that you've been blessed by the Word.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
You see, Pentecost is all about revival, outpouring of the
Holy Spirit. How long has it been since you felt
the fire of God, the power of God. I pray
right now that God's power consume you. And this is
so important because during Chivu, during Pentecost, during God's most
holy times, he always says, honor me with an offering.
(23:42):
I do believe this is a time that we really
take the seriousness of it. And so just going, Oh,
here's a tip God, say God, I want to stand
with you and during this time of revival, because my
heart cries out, I myself need an outporn. I believe
for my community, my family, to pour out your spirit,
(24:02):
and I honor you with a sacrificial gift. I want
to give you that opportunity to stand with us at
Paula White Ministry. And when you do, remember we don't
have to give. We get to give. And so it's
not something that I give to get. I get to give.
So I'm not doing this like, hey, if I give
(24:24):
a dollar, I'm going to get a dollar. That's ridiculous,
that's nonsense. This is God. I just honor you on
the basis of what you've already done for me, and
I thank you that you're a good daddy and you
take care of me. It's that simple. So why don't
you join me during this very holy time, during this
Pentecost season and honor God with a sacrificial offering.
Speaker 2 (24:48):

revival to this nation, to your community, but there can
be no revival without repentance and repentance as God. I've
been trying to do this on my own and it's

more abundantly. Will you pray this prayer with me? Will
you ask God to come into your heart and to
be your Lord and savior? Say, Father, God, I come
(27:41):
to you in the name of Jesus. Forgive me for
all of my sin. Holy Spirit, fill me and baptize
me that I have power to serve God until I
see you face to face.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Say devil, I'm done with you. Let go of my life.
