Pentecost is always on a Sunday,
and is considered a “Holy Convocation”.
Take the day to come together
and worship YHWH in Spirit and
in Truth, according to His Word,
powered by His Spirit, and in honor
of His Son. The Scripture indicates
we should prepare two loaves of
“leavened bread” during this celebration.
In one of His many parables,
Yeshua compared the Kingdom of
Heaven to yeast, indicating that this
message of the Kingdom would
ultimately fill the whole earth in due
time. (Luke 13:20-21) Read the inspirational
account in the book of Acts
which describes the Kingdom Power
of the early believers who exercised
gifts of signs, wonders, miracles,
and healings, as they wholeheartedly
loved one another. Actively seek the
anointing of the Holy Spirit so that
we can bear much fruit and
be ready to use the gifts He has given
to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to
the Earth!
Yeshua told his disciples to wait
in Jerusalem following His crucifixion,
resurrection, and ascension.
“Behold, I send the Promise of My
Father upon you; but tarry in the city
of Jerusalem until you are endued
with power from on high.” (Luke
24:49) “When the Day of Pentecost
had fully come, they were all with
one accord in one place.” (Acts 2:1)
Yeshua’s disciples had gathered together
in Jerusalem as He instructed
them, and “they saw what seemed to
be tongues of fire that separated and
came to rest on each of them. All
of them were filled with the Holy
Spirit and began to speak in other
tongues as the Spirit enabled them.”
(Acts 2:3-4) The people responded
to Peter’s message with repentance,
and about 3,000 were added to their
number that day (Acts 2:41), symbolically
associating the number of
those lost as a result of the golden
calf incident (Ex. 32:28).
“But an hour is coming, and now is,
when the true worshipers shall worship
the Father in spirit and truth;
for such people the Father seeks to
be His worshipers. God is spirit, and
those who worship Him must worship
in spirit and truth.” (John 4:23-
24) Pentecost is a time to destroy
the golden calves in our lives – those
religious practices and man-made
traditions we’ve held so dearly, but
are not according to His Word. It is
a time to fully commit to worshiping
our Heavenly Father as led by
His Spirit, and in accordance with
His Truth – the Word of God.
