The power of a “Spiritual Passover”
Passover is a Jewish festival that reminds us of God’s greatness when He gave
instructions to the Israelites in Egypt that would cause the spirit of death
to “pass over” their houses (Exodus 11–12).

The spiritual aspect of “Passover” is still available to us today. When
judgment or tragedy comes in any form- whether economic, spiritual,
environmental, or whatever- God will most often let His people know how to
avoid it or at least how to suffer minimal damage. In some cases God will even
show His people how to profit during a downturn (Genesis 41). The key is to
listen to God’s voice as He speaks to us and follow the instructions that He
gives.

I prophesied over a businessman from South Africa that some type of disaster
would come to his area but it would result in God blessing his business
four-times. He listened to God and bought a stockpile of raw material. When
the economic disaster hit and prices went up, he was able to sell his products
and make a million dollars in eight months (exactly four times the amount he
invested).

My dream of a bad storm
I had a dream earlier this year that a fierce storm (maybe the worst ever) was
coming. It appeared that we were going to suffer great losses and maybe even
die. Everyone was panicking and running to take cover. Faith rose up in me and
I felt an anointing from God to stand and watch this storm. I saw a consuming
fire in the storm and, just as it approached my house, it passed over and
immediately it was a bright sunny day with a rainbow in the sky. I was amazed
that there was no damage at all to my property or my loved ones.

I awoke from the dream realizing that we need to stand in the midst of the
storms coming against us personally and as a nation. God will give us
instructions on what to do and when to do it. The key is to remain at peace
and do not be afraid.

The power of Pentecost
As you may know, the Day of Pentecost marked the release of the Holy Spirit
upon believers. It is interesting that the account in Acts 2:17–18 mentions
that prophecy, dreams, and visions will increase and be available to everyone.

Acts 2:17–18 NIV
In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons
and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men
will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my
Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

That outpouring resulted in over 3,000 people coming into God’s Kingdom that
day (Acts 2:40).

Prophetic word

This year there will be a release of “Pentecost Power” that will result in the
most effective evangelism we have seen in a long time. In March we came out of
a 50-month wilderness that lasted from January 1, 2006–March 20, 2010 (the
first day of Spring). Ten days later, Passover was observed on March 30th.
Fifty days after Passover, May 23, 2010, will be Pentecost.

This year God will release a new, fresh anointing on the day of Pentecost.
This will include new visitations from God in various forms, the increase of
prophecy, dreams, and visions, and new assignments from God.

There are several new doors opening in June that have not been there before.
These new opportunities will take the message of Jesus into some places that
have not been open to God previously. This is building up to “The Summer of
Fun for 2010.”
