"From Passover To Pentecost--Staking Your Claim For The Future And Opening Supply Lines"

Dear Friends and Devoted Warriors:

Remember, we are still in the process of coming full circle. We are also still in a war season. So do not slack up, but be vigilant and keep boldly going into the Throne Room.

Last year was our “hurricane year” when God was blowing down from Heaven and stirring up the waters of revival. This year is the year of Heaven and earth connecting, and staking our claim in the midst of the whirlwind. That is why we must pay attention to all the tornados that are happening in the Midwest. When you see a state filled with tornados, know that is a revival center God is looking at. This prayer focus will help us move from Passover to Pentecost.

The purpose of this prayer focus is to bring us from a place of “leaving the old season by crossing over and staking claim to our future.” This prayer focus will also confront us with the necessity of unlocking and realigning our emotions, so the function of our “expectation” is restored and receptive from Holy Spirit. This will cause our vision to be redefined and established. “Without a vision (prophetic revelation and utterance) a people perish”.

This prayer focus will take us into the Feast of Weeks, or as Christians know and remember, Pentecost. One key aspect of understanding the shift from the Church season to Kingdom expression is the need to unlock the supply lines for our future. This will entail warring to break the conformity of our thinking processes, and it will entail developing a harvest mentality. This will also include understanding the dynamic of warring with structures that would stop the transference of wealth. I decree that after doing this prayer focus your “end will be greater than your beginning”. The Prayer Focus is in five 10-day segments that include:

• 10 Days of Crossing Over to Press into Your Promise
   

• 10 Days of Decreeing Your Land or Boundaries will Rejoice
   

• 10 Days of Developing an Expectation for the Future
   

• 10 Days of Restoring, Redefining and Establishing Vision
   

• 10 Days of Warring for Increase and the Transference of Wealth

The Elijah List will be sending emails to cover each of these 10-day segments as they occur. 

Why This Timing? Why The Feasts?

The Word of God revolves around the Feasts. They were holy assemblies for holy rehearsals. The remembrance of these physical events causes us to understand the spiritual significance of what came and what is to come! The Feasts forecasted His sacrifice for us. Also, they foretell the full redemption of His people and the alignment of all nations, which are His inheritance. When we participate in the waving of the First Fruits at Passover time and then receive the anointing to gather and increase at Pentecost (Feast of Weeks), our faith is displayed and our confidence rises for our provision to be released.

Today, there is a futility in legalistically participating in the Feasts. We cannot legalistically keep the Feasts, but we can honor the Father by remembering Him and receiving from Him at these appointed times (Galatians 3:10). No longer do we have to seek an ultimate Sacrifice--He was given on the Cross. This broke satan’s headship over us personally, as well as mankind corporately. However, we must “enter in” to the fullness of this plan. By participating and remembering the Feast times NOW, they cease to be shadows of things to come. They actually cause us to see our future path to our promise.

May you eat the Word below, and journey closer to His plan of Fullness for your life. Psalm 34 says, “Taste and see that the Lord is good.”

10 Days of Crossing Over to Press Into Your Promise

Day 1: Read Genesis 11-13; Luke 14:25-33. All Biblical understanding revolves around covenant. Notice in these passages, Abram came out of one societal structure and began his journey of faith. He then left his halfway mark and family ties to receive God’s Promise. Notice also how he received prophecy from the Lord along the way. Retrace your journey. Make sure you have not stopped halfway to your “there.” This is a year to be positioned properly.

Day 2: Read Genesis 14-17; John 2:23,24. Abram becomes Abraham. The more we come into agreement with the Lord’s plan and follow Him, the more we reflect His identity for us. Notice in Genesis 14:13 that Abram is referred to as the Hebrew, “the one who crosses over.” Because we are grafted into the Abrahamic covenant, we are a people who are constantly crossing over. When Abram went to war and gave to Melchizedek, God made covenant with him. He moved from promise and prophecy into covenant alignment. Be sure you keep going! Confess the sin of any time you have resisted moving forward.

Day 3: Read Exodus 2:23-25 and Exodus 3. Cry out for your future, and watch the Lord acknowledge your cry. He will then start your deliverance process which includes plundering the enemy’s camp. Ask Him to deliver you from any oppression or hard labor that the enemy has unjustly put upon you.

Day 4: Read Exodus 6 and Exodus 12-14. Find your place in the army. The Lord brought them out by armies. Decree that anything that has blocked your way will be removed. Do a faith exercise: extend your hand and decree that your way will open up.

Day 5: Read Exodus 15-16, Matthew 14:13-21, and Revelation 15. Rejoice and sing the song of the Lord. Thank the Lord for your deliverance. Meditate on the song of Moses. The suffering covenant people sang this at their time of deliverance; we as Christians will sing it again. Thank Him for all the provision that you are receiving. Even if it is “wilderness” provision, thank Him! Let Him take what you have and break it open and multiply it.

Day 6: Read Exodus 20 & 23, Matthew 17:5 and 28:20. These are key chapters in understanding justice. Ask the Lord to give you revelation of Feast times. This will cause you to understand God’s timing for your life, as well as unlocking supply. Ask Him to make you aware of angelic visitation and leading. Confess as sin those times when you were resistant to being led properly. Ask Him about a First Fruit offering for the Feast of Pentecost. Much promise will be unlocked to you in these chapters.

Day 7: Read Joshua 3-5. These are chapters on preparation, and how to follow (the ark and the priests) into your future. Let me suggest a day of fasting. Focus on your place of crossing over for this season. Also, ask the Lord about those who you have relationship with that are helping you move forward. Let the Lord revive your life by re-circumcising your heart. So many of us hang onto last season’s provision. Declare that new provision will begin. The manna ceased, and they had to learn to use the provision in their Promised Land. This allowed them to reinstate the Feast of Passover to get them back on track. They were unable to do Passover for 40 years since all they had was manna and quail. God changes our provision many times to get us back in synch with His full plan. Get ready to face that thing that has always seemed invincible to you.

Day 8: Read Matthew 14:22-36, John 6, and Exodus 33. Be willing to cross over into the place the Lord is calling you. You might want to pull aside into a quiet place to really seek Father. Declare that you will not move forward without sensing His presence.

Day 9: Read Acts 12 and Esther 9. Memorize Philippians 2:27. Ask the Lord to do a new thing in your prayer life. The beheading of James was during Passover. Ask the Lord to hide you from the religious world. Many times our past failures propel us into a whole new fervency of prayer. Pray and ask God for angelic help to come down, so you can move into the next season. Make a declaration that every decree that is set against you will be exposed and overturned, and that you will advance.

Day 10: Read Ephesians 1-4. Recognize your condition as well as your position. Thank Him for the change that Holy Spirit has brought you. Thank Him for His love that has gotten you through so many situations. Thank Him that we are maturing into the fullness of His plan. Look at the government of the Church. Jesus ascended to Heaven to take His throne next to Father. He gives us access. Ask the Lord to be sure your gift is aligned corporately.

I would like for you to build in a day of reflection and meditation in each 10 day prayer focus to write your observations.

Blessings,
