Suddenly: Seasons of Restoration

Suddenly: Seasons of Restoration


You are not designed to live in just one season. Purposes are regulated by seasons. The difference between anything is seasons. People of God, it’s about to rain! God is dispensing seasons. That’s why the word of God says in Lev 26:4, “Then I will give you rain in due season.” And again in Eccl 3:1 “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:”
People of God, in just a few weeks, the delay is over. Your harvest is coming forth. God has flipped the switch. Until you have a revelation you will be in the natural, not the supernatural. When you do not discern the shifts of your seasons, you will be in lack. It is possible to be in a season that you are not cooperating with.
2015 is the year of favor and grace. Pentecost 2015 was on May 24th and had two main themes: harvest and revelation. Get ready for harvest!! Harvest for us means an outpouring of God’s Spirit. Acts 2:17 says, “I will pour out my Spirit.” The word “Pour” is Greek for “to pour forth, to gush out, shed abroad, to run greedily out.” That is how God is about to pour out His Spirit upon your life, if you will ask!
Pentecost means “fiftieth”. Our text in connection with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit occurs on the fiftieth day after the Resurrection. June 8th is the day Pentecost falls upon this year. People of God, get ready for an outpouring and for harvest! Expectation is a cord that connects you to God and what He is about to do. Expect Him to do great and mighty things in your life! According to your faith, let it be unto you!
Pentecost is a divine appointment designed by God himself. Let’s look at the text below and try to digest it:
And the lord spake unto Moses, saying, speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them, concerning the feasts of the Lord,
which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest,
an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein:
it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.
These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations,
which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.”

Leviticus 23:1-4 KJV
The word “feasts” in the text above means “a fixed time or appointment”. This means the feasts are His own holy days with specific instructions given for observance. In the Old Testament of our Bible, there are three major feast seasons listed, and seven total feasts.
Here are the three major feast seasons:
1) the Feast of the Passover,
2) the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) and
3) the Feast of Tabernacles.
Let’s call to mind again: the two themes that pervade Pentecost (Shavuot) are harvest and revelation. After Passover there was an instruction. From the day that the set-apart barley sheaves were waved before the Lord, the Israelites were to count off seven weeks. The counting of these 49 days brought them to the wheat harvest, the more nourishing and valued grain. Wheat bread was the bread of prosperity, and its flour produced the choicest baked goods.
This “divine appointment” was a second type of First Fruits. It was a “New Feast.” Let’s review the text:
From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, count off seven full weeks.
Count off fifty days up to the day after the seventh Sabbath,
and then present an offering of new grain to the Lord.
From wherever you live, bring two loaves made of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour, baked with yeast, as a wave offering of firstfruits to the Lord.”

Lev 23:15-17 NIV
We notice that God instructed us to celebrate this feast (or, “divine appointment”) 50 days after the early First fruits offering (during Passover Season). Get READY! There is a season of harvest that God is dispensing. He has something for you!
You are not designed to live in just one season. Purposes are regulated by seasons. The difference between anything is seasons. People of God, it’s about to rain! God is dispensing seasons. The definition of “restoration” is the act or process of returning something to its original condition by repairing it and/or cleaning it. Restoration is the act of bringing back something that existed before as well as the act of returning something that was stolen or taken. This is everything that God wants to do for you! When you sense what God is doing in your life, don’t resist Him – cooperate with your season to be restored to your originally intended condition. This summer, I am releasing a Word from the Lord about your “suddenly moment” as it relates to God’s restoration in your life. Stay tuned, get a foundation and understanding of what it means for God to restore something to you, and receive your SUDDENLY RESTORATION in the mighty name of JESUS CHRIST!
