Beloved brothers and sisters, I want to share from a place of love and humble thanksgiving what the Lord has been doing in my own heart these past few days. On my website I posted a personal testimony about how God used some of the ancient Jewish writings—books like 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and Jasher—to illuminate the fire of Pentecost and open fresh windows into the work of the Holy Spirit. As I poured over those precious testimonies from the earliest ages, I felt the Spirit whisper to my spirit, guiding me into deeper truth, beckoning me onward into the very presence of the living God.

From the dawn of redemptive history, God has spoken through men, prophets, psalmists, patriarchs, so that we might glimpse His heart. In the pages of these ancient texts we discover testimonies of angels, visions of heavenly worship, warnings against compromise, and promises of God’s coming kingdom. Each story stirs our own faith, reminding us that the same Holy Spirit who energized Enoch, who emboldened Noah, who preserved Abraham and Sarah in their wilderness journeys, is the very same Spirit at work in us today. He directs our steps, convicts us of sin, comforts us in sorrow, and empowers us for every good work.

My heart’s desire is that every one of us would be so filled with the Spirit that we stand ready for Christ’s return, fully mature, completely surrendered, and passionately engaged in the ministry of reconciliation. Imagine what could happen in our churches if we laid aside every tradition, every prejudice, every teaching that obstructs the flow of the Holy Spirit’s work! How many all-night prayers, how many words of prophecy, how many healings and deliverances remain on hold simply because we cling to “the way we’ve always done it”?

Jesus said that when the Spirit comes, He would lead us into all truth (John 16:13). Let us therefore cultivate open hearts. Let us test everything by the standard of Scripture, yes, but let us also be willing to consider how God may speak through lesser-known writings that echo His purposes in ages past. If a passage of Jubilees inspires deeper worship, if a vision in Jasher fuels greater boldness in evangelism, let us receive that as a gift from the One who loves us. Always holding fast to the Bible as our unshakable foundation, we can allow these ancient witnesses to sharpen our vision of Pentecost.

I believe with all my heart that the Lord wants to breathe upon His church once more in revival fire. But first, we must remove every hindrance, every legalistic fence, every hardened heart, every habit of mind that refuses new wine. Let us pray together, “Holy Spirit, break down our walls; shake us free from every chain. Fill us anew! Teach us, guide us, empower us, and make us catalysts for Your glory.” As we do, we will see ordinary people doing extraordinary things for God, and we ourselves will grow in grace and stature until the day our Savior returns.

May the Lord bless you with fresh anointing and may the wind of His Spirit carry you higher than you’ve ever flown.
