Passover: Your Season for
Breakthrough!
Seasonal Portal Opens During Passover
There is a promised open Heaven visitation and huge blessing during
certain seasons of time on the calendar—which God has set up as divine
rendezvous moments for us. Will we show up to this
appointment/visitation with God?
God promised to visit His people during specific seasons of time
known as the Feasts. God opened the heavens in both the Old and
New Testament during these feasts (i.e. Passover, Pentecost etc). The
same God of yesterday, today and forever will show up in the same and
even greater way today, during these seasons, when we take the time out
to worship and feast on Him, on purpose, during these divine
appointments with God.
The fact that God will even restore in the last days the Feast of
Tabernacles as He says in the book of Zechariah, points to the fact that
these are seasons we can expect God to visit us. Jesus even told them
to wait for the promises to be fulfilled after His departure in certain
kairos seasons of time.
It appears that celebrating Passover was actually encouraged in the
early Church with the revelation that Jesus fulfilled the Passover now
being "the reason for the season." In 1
Corinthians 5:7-8, Paul tells the Corinthians: Christ our passover is sacrificed for us. Therefore
let us keep the feast, not with old leaven...but with the unleavened
bread of sincerity and truth.
Jesus, Himself, fulfills the meaning of this feast, being our
Passover Lamb. He did not abolish it, but adds fresh meaning and glory
to it. The glory of this seasonal portal can be opened as it was in the
early Church. Even the apostles continued celebrating Passover as Jesus
told them to continue it, and as often as you do this "do this in
remembrance of Me." Some misunderstand 1
Corinthians 11:26 which says: "As often
as you eat this bread and drink this cup," by interpreting it
"take it as often as you wish." But it does not necessarily say that,
though there is power in taking communion anytime.
It says "as often" as you observe
it (Passover), "you do show the Lord's death
till He come." Even Jesus commanded, "This
do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me" (verse 25). We do it in remembrance of the
Lord's death—a memorial of His death and claim the blessings of His
death and resurrection!
All throughout the Bible there is a supernatural exchange of things
that took place when the people of God made it a point to honor the time
and seasonal portal of Passover. Though we know that we can claim these
blessings at anytime, the Bible does tell us to "keep the Feast
(Passover)" as something extra special is to be released during this
season. Just as the Feast of Pentecost was initiated by God with the
ancient Israelites, we too, having been grafted in by faith in Jesus,
are God's people and are invited to His party and feasts as they
continue on in the New Testament with even greater glory and power
released!
In fact, the disciples continued to celebrate Passover at the Feast
of Pentecost as the Believers worshipped and prayed together, and the
seasonal portal opened up again. There was nothing legalistic or
religious about the day of Pentecost, just pure glory, love, power,
authority, visitation and harvest! Sounds like a Holy Spirit party to
me!
The Spirit of the Season
We have noticed every time we come together in a conference to
worship the Lord during these seasons, the glory and power are extra
powerful. The healings, miracles, clarity in hearing God, prophetic
words, signs and wonders and overwhelming glory of God are always on a
higher level than at other times of the year.
I had even noticed this in my early days of ministering as I spoke
during these seasons, not knowing they were God's appointed seasonal
portals. I was trying to figure out why every single year at
the same season, the glory, power, blessing and harvest was so much
stronger on Pentecost, Passover or other feasts. Then years later, God
started to open my eyes as to why He showed up so powerfully during
these seasons.
Now we purposely plan to have God visit us during these seasonal
portals instead of accidentally bumping into the greater glory during
these times. Often there is a knee-jerk reaction to Passover and from
expecting God to move during the feasts out of fear of legalism. Yet
there is nothing religious about asking God to visit you during His
appointed time which He wrote about in His Word, and for us to expect
the supernatural on a much higher level that attests to greater open
Heaven encounters with God.
I believe that as born again Believers, we can walk in the "spirit"
of the season, believing for an open Heaven and special blessing during
this seasonal portal. There is a special open Heaven portal that we have
noticed which opens up when we come together during Passover, worship
Him, and give a special offering to the Lord. It's a time to search our
own hearts of any hidden sin, asking God to forgive, cleanse and
deliver us as we enter the next season. Some of the blessings that God
promises in Exodus 23 are listed below:
1. God will assign an angel to you.
2. He'll be an enemy to your enemies.
3. He will give you prosperity.
4. He will take sickness away from you and your family.
5. He will give you a long life.
6. He will cause increase in your life.
7. He'll give a special year's blessing.
The past several years, besides coming before Him, worshipping and
searching our hearts and celebrating with God's people, we have always
given our biggest offerings during these seasonal portals. We have
always been amazed at the greater glory, miracles and blessings that
come as a result of our setting time aside to worship Him and give
sacrificially to God! As you celebrate this seasonal portal, believe
that the next 12 months of your life will drastically shift into greater
realms of His Glory, Power and Blessing!
