yeah this day on our calendars has been named pentecost sunday now allow me if you will for those who needed a brief history of what this actually means so that we can understand how it identifies with us in 2022 passover for an example to begin there it was a celebration feast in which the children of israel they would recall the incredible events that led up to the death angel visiting all of the houses all of the farmland in egypt while they were there in bondage according to what we read in the torah what we read when we go back to the beginning we find out that god's plan through the plagues if you will was to separate the people of egypt from the people of god in this particular event though the death angel was going to make its way through the camp and every firstborn of the living would die at that moment an entire listen to this an entire generation would be eliminated in one moment according to what we read in the scriptures god was working we understand as well though that god had already given instructions to his voice at that time moses and he gave him these instructions we find in exodus chapter number 12 verse number 21 then moses called for all the elders of israel and said unto them draw out and take you a lamb according to your families and kill the passover and you shall take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin and strike the lentil and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning verse 23 for the lord will pass through to smite the egyptians and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel and upon the two sideposts the houses to smite you ye shall observe this thing in the for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons forever and it shall come to pass when ye be come to the land which the lord will give you according as he hath promised that ye shall keep this service verse 26 says and it shall come to pass when your children shall say unto you what mean ye by this service you shall say it is a sacrifice of the lords everybody say it passover who passed over the houses of the children of israel in egypt when he smote the egyptians and delivered our houses the people bowed the head and worshiped and the children of israel went away and did as the lord had commanded moses and aaron so did they if you've been in any type of sunday school class in your childhood you will recall that god dealt with the people in egypt by sending plagues everybody say plagues everybody say that's not a good thing it was god's way of dealing with the egyptians amen something had happened in every plague that attacked if you will the people at that time from frogs to lice to everybody's favorite blood in the water it was now at this place that a death angel would be dispatched to come and to kill the firstborn from the palace to the pauper it didn't matter god told moses this is what i will do but in the meantime god also how many know he always makes a way he spoke to moses and he said i've got a plan if they'll take the lamb from the passover sacrifice and if they'll prepare that and go into their houses and together they will put shoes on their feet they will make sure they are shot and they are prepared with their clothing they will have staff in hand ready for a journey i will send the death angel but if they will take from the sacrificial lamb's blood and they will sprinkle it on the top and on the side post of the door when that death angel comes from door to door he will look and he will see the blood is applied and he will know they have followed the law of god hang with me for just a moment in your reading you understand this was for humanity and for the livestock and animals something was about to turn the world upside down at that moment but friend of mine when that death angel would march through egypt at that point there was something that he was distinctly looking for understand this the death angel's job was death it was death he wasn't there to bring blessings he wasn't there to bring uh the things that they desired he wasn't there to do anything but to kill it was his dispatchment at that point to go in according to the bible and according to the story and he would kill but something though that the word of god established at that moment listen to me death angel if you see the blood of the lamb apply to the doorpost of the house don't go through that door stay outside of that house and keep your journey moving down the road why is this significant to where we stand in 2022 i want you to know friend of mine if god has a plan god is going to fulfill his plan nobody can thwart it no one can push it aside every detail every minute portion will already have been thought of by the lord god what i'm talking to you about today is this this was the beginning point where god would establish with his people when you leave this land i want you to have your shoes on you're sticking your hand you're going out the door when you leave you take what you want you gather what you can come on there's not enough time for this history lesson today but suffice it to say that when the death angel came that the camp went up in tears but the people of god stood secure behind the doorpost with the blood applied and after the midnight hour after the death angel passed by when everything changed at that moment it was then and there that moses declared with a loud voice hey people of god it's time to walk out of bondage their bellies were full from the sacrificial lamb their blood with the blood of that lamb was applied to the door but when they left there they had no intention of turning around and coming back because the death angel had passed over them notice next oh this is so exciting y'all wonder why i'm talking about easter today maybe got to give you a foundation of how things come about the law that god gave to the levitical tribe to the levites they would be the priesthood according to the law that god established and it was at that particular moment that god began to establish the feast the celebrations that his people would always remember because of what he had done in their lives that doesn't we don't have time today to get all of it but in leviticus chapter 23 we read the account of what happened how that every day for a week it was called passover that they would spend time together they would come out with an instruction of children listen to what we say it is time for us to remember what god did for us as his people and we always have to come into passover with thankfulness and gratitude and we always have to understand it was because of god's a provision that the first or the firstborn or that generation did not die while sitting in their houses as the death angel came it was established you will do this celebration now and every year from now through all of the generations how many of y'all know and realize that we still celebrate passover today it's on your calendar just like pentecost now what has happened of course we realize through the eons of time is people have forgotten the real purpose in it and now all of a sudden an easter bunny becomes and a chicken becomes but anyway suffice it to say we remember that the lord jesus christ died and went into a tomb but on the third day he came up out of the grave and he defied death i said he defied the death angel the death angel should have taken every life it should have stopped his but he stood up strong and said death angel stop right now you have lost your sting you have lost your ability to take a life why because the lord god said i've got a plan i've got a reason i'm going to institute something where people can in their sin die out to flesh the flesh can go away and the spirit of god can rise up and regardless of the death angel trying to come and get your soul there will be a reckoning one day and you can come up out of the ground just like jesus did but pentecost sunday turn to your neighbor and say 50. tell somebody 50. there was an establishment of the passover feast this is celebration for that week this is what we'll do but then he says in seven different weeks after that we're going to return and we're going to celebrate what is known simply as shabbat the feast of weeks it was the date that was established for the laws of god for the people of god some would consider this day to be when they've received the law of god the talmud and when they received the exact way that they were to interact one with another and with everybody that was around them it was also the establishment of the newly removed slaves from bondage in egypt said many times here i believe that when god does something he does it with all of the details in mind for every generation that will ever come how many of you know that today if god did it once understand that same god can do it again at any time from that point forward hear me somebody if the death angel can pass by a door with the blood applied once he can do it again if the lord god can bring somebody over on dry ground from they ought to be drowning he can do it again if the lord god can raise the dead once i know he establishes as a way he can do it again i believe that if he can heal cancer once he can do it again i believe that he can provide a way where there is no way why because he's done it once he is sure that he can do it again oh y'all need to understand the principle if god can do it god will do it and he'll do it again and again and again at this point the children of god have come out of bondage and now they are beginning to receive the laws they are beginning to receive the connections and how that there would be requirements of them god establishes his workings how he does things from one generation and after he finishes the instruction he tells to them make sure the next generation gets it make sure the next generation gets it question for somebody in 2022 parents have you ever told your children something once and it was enough why are you laughing huh have you ever told your co-worker this is how it's done and you only have to say it once more than likely not some things bear repeating god knows that about humanity god understands that about the mind of man he knows that you can become overwhelmed with life he he realizes that you can be overshadowed with burdens and things going on in your life around you and the lord god understands that principle with humanity has anybody here ever felt like you lost your mind only to realize you didn't have it in the first place and then the one that you happen to find and put back in there you wish you hadn't found it because now it's more confused than ever come on i'm talking about life today but the fact of the matter god understands that therefore you hear this every year they would repeat this every season they would repeat this they would sit down in the morning and they would go over it they would stand in the afternoon and they would go over it that's why in the law of deuteronomy we find that you better teach your generations to hero israel the lord our god is one lord you're gonna need to serve him with all your heart you're gonna need to love him with your mind and strength and everything in you why was that worth repeating day in and day out month in and month out why was it that when passover feasts came generation to generation they would not leave anything out but they would sit at the table and dad or granddad or great-granddaddy would talk about it and the kids would sit there and they would listen nobody had their phones in their hand nobody was sitting in the couch watching tv while everybody oh lord don't let me get sidetracked today but something happened from passover to 50 days later called pentecost the people of god would once again come to the city of jerusalem but this time they would bring a wave offering because there was a celebration of the provision of god listen to it in leviticus 23-15 and he shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath from the day that he brought the sheep of the wave offering seven sabbaths shall be complete even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall she shall your number of 50 days y'all read that real quick together and shall offer a new meat offering before the lord 17 says you shall bring out of your habitations two waveloaves of two tenth deals they shall be a fine flower they shall be bacon with leaven hear it they are the first fruits unto the lord and you shall offer them with the bread of seven lambs without blemish of the first year one young bullock and two rams and they shall be for a burnt offering unto the lord and their meat offering and their drink offering and even the offering made by fire of sweet savor unto the lord so 50 days after what had happened here 50 days later they would one more time come back to the house of god and there would be a celebration that god had provided everything they needed to that point and then six seven weeks later after that seventh week they would remind themselves that after the harvest had been complete we now bring first fruits under the lord god it was at that sacrificial time that they would signify one more time hear it yeast or leaven back into their diet now because you have remembered the blessing of how the death angel should have killed you but yet i passed over it passed over it did not go into your house and kill and then 50 days later when there was a blessing of what god had provided for you then you once again come back to rejoice i will allow you at that point then to live your life according to how i have blessed you i've come today to tell somebody the establishment of passover brings us to the establishment of what you and i call pentecost and it was at that moment where recollection would come into place and people would remember that the lord god has been a good god he's not failed me he has not let me down he never walked away from me he never left me on the side of the road to fend for myself he never discarded me he never forgot about me but he was god when everything else fell apart he was god when i didn't know what else to do he was god and he's always provided for me therefore i come in at pentecost and i wave this unto the lord god look what you have done for me and my life you ready for it acts 2 and 1 the day of pentecost hear that word was fully come they were all with one accord in one place and suddenly there come a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind and it filled all the house where they were sitting and there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as a fire and it sat upon each of them and they were all filled with the holy ghost and began to speak with other tongues as the spirit gave them utterance all of the generations from the times of moses into the new testament the celebrations did not cease they would go through them every year they would follow the calendar year by year and one generation would pass it to the next generation but no doubt the power of the repeating and the reminding has something to do with humanity i've come today to declare to you that there are some things that are worth repeating there are some things that some of us would love to forget but there are many things that the lord god has done that's worth repeating you might get tired of it friend but i'll stand here today and i'll tell you one more time god has been good to me that's worth repeating god has provided for me that's worth repeating god has healed my sick body that's worth repeating god brought me out when i didn't know how to get out that's worth repeating when i look at those things time and time again you can ask my children if you want to they'll tell you daddy tells the same stories over and over again i'll tell you why it's because they're worth repeating how can i forget the blinded eyes open how can i forget the healings and the miraculous that has happened how could i ever forget what god has done in my life when i should have been in a wheelchair but i'm not when they told me i'd never amount to anything but look i'm able to stand steady still i know what god has done and it's worth repeating the day of pentecost has fully come understand we are generations and generations past when the law was first given but they're still celebrating it come on they're still preserving the why and the why not there are issues that face every generation yes there is and i've come to tell somebody in this hour in which we live in this modern world if you will that a lot of history is under question a lot of history that's under question and people don't want you to repeat it the fact of the matter is there is no real purpose in what you felt in that day unless you remember it on another day come on your children might ask you is god a healer if you can't recall that god's healed you what are you going to tell them come on if you were struggling with something in your youth and god came in and made a way if you can't remember that and recalling and sharing with somebody then why did you go through it in the first place and i've determined that in this culture and in this generation in which we live i don't care what they say they may try to silence the church they might try to stop the testimony but they've come too late to tell me i know god's a healer you say what you want you try to stop me if you want to but i can declare it in my house i can declare it on the street corner and if sam if they throw me in jail guess what i can declare it in the jailhouse if they put me in a hospital guess what i can talk about it there why because some things are worth repeating god knows all about humanity and he knows for sure that we can forget things when you read the old testament accounts and the reasons that these feasts were established and then you go into the new testament account and we find how that god is fulfilling his promise listen carefully please this is so incredibly important for our hour the day of pentecost was coming near 50 days after that feast of passover the celebration of pentecost was here the resurrection of jesus christ had happened but now seven weeks later they're responding to god's provision and his blessings in their life every purpose that god gave for the feast in the old testament and the levitical law he gave it to his people for a reason and the cycle would be repeated generation after generation friend of mine on the day of pentecost in question that we're looking at in acts the second chapter understand something they were in a room together for a celebration but the bible says suddenly without warning without fanfare without any trumpet sounding but suddenly a wind begins to blow a wave of the sacrifice that was brought of those sheaves that god had provided for them and then there was a sound and a moving of that sacrifice and there was cloven tongues burning as a fire it didn't settle in the middle of the room it didn't come to the door of the room but it settled upon every single one of them i've come to declare to somebody in 2022 i want you to see this picture that the sheaves are waving as the wind is blowing that the fire is burning as the praise is ascending that the sacrifice is being accepted and an evidence comes to them on this day of pentecost it will be different next year don't bring your calf don't bring your lamb and don't bring your breath but tomorrow when you get up in the morning this anointing's gonna be in your life this glory is gonna rest upon you and you'll be able to stand up and breathe in and realize the breath of god has just come what i'm describing to somebody has become pentecostal and what it is is it is the power of god working in your life every day oh god filled those 120 men and women in that pointless this so powerful how that god would fulfill it some of us would be in great trouble today i know i would be if you were to drag a lamb a ram a sheep a goat or whatever to me and say i brought this today can you kill it honey we got any recipes for lamb me home yeah we're like whoa bad you too listen i know this don't sound good but you're about to die here and i'm not interested in this no more than you are you understand i'm saying why does that happen in 2022 because we don't understand it because the generations at that point stopped it now when they get up in the morning brother lorenzo kids gather around thus says the word of the lord it's fire it's shut up in our bones there is glory that rests upon us right now the glory of the lord has breathed into our house when we get out of bed right now we don't have to worry about tomorrow today what's happening now why because the glory of god has fulfilled itself within us why do you think friend when you escape and you get out of the second chapter of acts what do you find that revival exploded and people began to realize it's no longer about that feast but it is now about the completing of that feast that's alive in my life i've come on this pentecost sunday to tell somebody it's no longer a date on the calendar it's no longer something that happens once a year but it is an experience that you can feel in the morning hour it's something that can change you uh at the new time hour it's something that can adjust you uh on the midnight hour why because it is a relationship with a god that has completed his promise the promise is unto you to your children i don't want you to get up and explain to them this now i want you to tell them about what your grandparents used to do but now this promise is for you your children all that are far off change the narrative he is now jesus jehovah has become salvation he's alive in us we take him to bed at night we carry him to the store at noon when we go to our jobs he's there if we're we got a flat tire on the side of the road god's there if we make our bed and hell god's there if things happen we don't understand god is there why because of the fulfillment of pentecost in our lives we sit in this sanctuary today on this pentecost sunday whoo i know that we're not dragging out loaves of bread josh can you help me please or whoever's back there i need this unmuddy there you go we sit in this place today we're not killing rams bulls or rams somebody say amen they may bring any good bread today with leaven in it all right we'll talk later but i'm reminding you of the saving power of pentecost the glory of the lord that changes the life of a human sister melanie stan you got three minutes he tells me i have three minutes come on tell us about pentecost my my experience wasn't exactly like a lot of people would think your pentecostal experience would be like that you were in a life of sin and did all the things he wouldn't but i was i'm a fourth generation apostolic and my grandparents beautiful we're able to share the truth with all of our family beautiful uh i went to sunday school every every time the doors were open did all the things that we were supposed to do and all the things but then as i got a little older i never really had a um revelation of what god was or anything like you know it was always just ingrained in me throughout the days and stuff and then but as i got older i found myself uh doing things that hanging out with the wrong people and being around the wrong folks and doing things that i thought i would never in my life ever be involved in and with all went against everything that i knew but in my heart and within myself i always knew what was right it's not that i felt that what we have is wrong and i turned my back on it like that it was just that i had went a different way circumstances brought me here and when i made it my mind that when i moved here that i was going to do what i knew to do sure and that i would walk into these doors and that i would do what i was supposed to do and knew what i was supposed to do it took a little bit but i finally felt like that i got to where i know where i need to be and finally got back to what i knew was right and i want everybody to know that when you raise your children in this truth when you raise them and all the things that you tell them you may not think you're getting through but when they leave and when they go away for just a little while if it's a long time or a little while there's the scripture that says you train up your children yeah and when they are old they will not depart and they will find their way back home and that is what true pentecost is when you raise your children into what you know is right and you teach them and then they will come back and do what they know to do and i thank god that he's brought me here personal pentecost thank you sister melody that was hard for her personal pentecost come on tim three minutes tell me what you got well my story's a little bit different than uh system melodies but my family came into the church back in 1975 we never knew anything about pentecost uh my family was about 30 of us yeah for the sloane remembers revival in murfreesboro church there that there's about 30 of us that came in and we had searched a number of churches and they go as far as repentance but they don't go any further but when we came into the pentecostal church there in murfreesboro we got to experience the full experience all right acts 2 38 experience yeah and i will say that the lord gave me something when brother sloane was speaking it says lord just gave me this word so the wind of pentecost is recognizable you will know it when you come in yes sir you will know when it happens yeah i remember when we were sitting there in church and my whole family sitting taking up about 25 30 seats there in the church and i remember when we stood up the first time in that pentecostal church and we were looking at each other and we were like what is this we're feeling in this place and it was a mighty power of god it was the real deal it was more we got to experience it all and i'm so thankful yeah so thankful that god brought me to the truth and it sustained me to this day yes and we now have 11 or 12 people sitting here in this church because of that that's right there was a there was a granny there at the church sister granny stem yeah she spoke to one of those people in our group that came in and that's how we found that church beautiful she was it was a little grainy in the church and now she's response she was responsible for a good 30 of us overspread among many churches that's the truth because someone told someone beautiful lord and i'm so thankful for this beautiful thank you tim beautiful y'all understand that looking for truth didn't really know what they were looking for she's fourth generation and he was first really actually his parents came in too man they drove the church crazy i was there before that family of 30 came in there was 30 of us they walked in and we had 100 growth my poor pastor brother teddy ran himself ragged trying to help these knuckleheads bar hoppers everything else musicians in nightclubs but when god brought them everything changed aren't you thankful for pentecost come on i'm trying to give the reason i asked these to help me out i got one more the reason i'm at some of us can feel like sometimes that that's far removed but it's not it's generational it's changing lives things are happening in pentecost because there is a power that comes from knowing the truth of god you can't deny that sister stacey you got three minutes well um i was raised maybe even birthed on a pentecostal pew uh and i raised i was raised in this beautiful truth and you can see some of my grandchildren they are sixth generation pentecost beautiful and i'm so thankful for that it's a it's a beautiful heritage and i'm thankful for the truth i had a grandmother that was if you knew her you never forget reverend lillian g hedges she was my grandmother but she was also my pastor and she's someone who made such an impact on my life and so many others and she never gave up on me and she preached whatever she was preaching in the pulpit on sunday she was preaching at the post office on monday and that's how i grew up she was pentecost through and through and i grew up loving this truth and filled with the power of the holy ghost at age at the age of nine i wish i could stand here and say that i never strayed but i did i walked away from a season and i tasted sin for just a little bit enough to know that the devil is a liar but well it's already been said what was planted and birthed in me when i was a child and a grandmother praying that's the reason i'm standing here today and i'm not in my grave and it's the reason my children and my grandchildren are filled with the holy ghost today and i am thankful that pentecost is not a denomination it is an experience and it saved my life yes god thank you now some of you may wonder pastor why did you have people that have been in church for a distance or a link i could ask any of you all right i'm going to tell you why it's because this thing didn't happen overnight it didn't start it didn't stop but it's generations people have fallen in love with pentecost realizing that there is power protection provision salvation healing things that humanity needs it comes through the power of an experience with god i stand here today on this pentecost sunday to remind some of you of the great heritage that god has given you if you know the name jesus you have something to shout about if you understand the healing power of the blood of jesus you've got something to shout about if you know that he can restore and bring you home you've got something to shout about hey hear it if you know that he can bring generations into the church house and establish you you know there's something to be thankful for there are some of you that are first generation you just walked into it and god began to work in your life i want you to know you have something to be thankful for the lord god is a healer a waymaker a deliverer but more than that he wants you to have the experience of knowing he's there in the midnight he's there at noon time he's there when everything falls apart he'll be there to pick you up he can restore you renew you and make you over again stand with me please i spent a few moments this afternoon talking to you about passover to establish with you the need to come back to god and to thank him for his goodness through pentecost to bring that sacrifice one more time that would simply say god you brought us out of bondage you brought us out of the slavery you brought us out lord of where we were going to be destroyed i don't realize or i'm not sure if you guys realize how that the children of israel got into egypt they went in at 70 looking for provision and the lord god provided for them but they stayed there and generations and generations later millions strong a cry begin to ascend up to god we want out of this we have built for ourselves homes under the task masters whip we have built places that will they won't even let us go into they're trying to stop us if you'll recall and you go into the story of when moses and aaron went before pharaoh what was the first thing that he asked them for i just want to take the people of god out to worship when god's people desire to worship their god heaven stands at attention and the lord god had a plan sam and the lord said i need a voice now you go into pharaoh and you tell him let my people go and i'm not going to allow it to happen moses but i need you to go in there well talk about a mission i need you to go tell him let him go and he's going to say and then life's going to get very hard then i need you to go back and he's going to say life's going to get harder the bible even says that they heaped upon them task masters with whip made them go find all their stuff instead of doing it and on and on it went until until god said enough is enough watch this i am going to remove the generation that would continue this and the death angel stopped them in their track and the people of god walked out free when pharaoh came to his senses and tried to go stop them god said you let them come not only did i allow my people to walk over on dry ground i am going to close up the dry ground and i'm going to destroy not only the past or the future generation i will stop this generation and they'll never pursue you again you tell me herb that god don't know how to do things it was in the midst of that place mr renee that the chariots were coming after him that the people of god said you've brought us out here to kill us just let us go back and he said no you stand still and you watch what's about to happen i declare in this hour pentecost is still the real deal and if this world is destroying you and it's crippling you and it's stopping you and it's stifling you i ask you i plead i want so much for you to simply turn loose of this world and decide as for me i've come to love the lord today and i've come to lift up his name today and have come to magnify the name that is above every name the only one who has become my

god jehovah we get over in the new testament generations and generations later stands and reads the word and he stops in the midst of it rolls it up hands it back and they said what are you doing he said i've come to fulfill it now everything the law told you i fulfill it it now applies to you as it applied to him and he's saying to you if you'll listen to what i say and do it will be fulfilled
