  1. Part Five The Importance of the Holy Spirit!

  2. When we think of Pentecost, we think of Acts 2.

  3. What does the word Pentecost even mean?

  4. Pentecost = “Fiftieth” But how does this New Testament event have anything to do with fifty or counting to fifty?

  5. It’s directly connected to an Old Testament Holy Day known as Shavuot.

  6. Leviticus 23:15-16 You shall also count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day when you brought in the sheaf

  7. Leviticus 23:15-16 of the wave offering, there shall be seven complete Sabbaths. You shall count fifty days to the day after

  8. Leviticus 23:15-16 the seventh Sabbath, then you shall present a new grain offering to the Lord.

  9. Shavuot – “Weeks” In the New Testament and Greek language, Shavuot is known as Pentecost, meaning “Fiftieth,” since it was

  10. Shavuot – “Weeks” celebrated on the 50th day after Firstfruits.

  11. Shavuot – “Weeks” Names were very important in the ancient world.

  12. Shavuot – “Weeks” They usually reflected the significance, history, or meaning of that to which they were attached.

  13. Shavuot – “Weeks” Shavuot marked the beginning of the summer wheat harvest.

  14. Shavuot – “Weeks” It involves a command-ment to count out seven weeks from the beginning of one harvest to another.

  15. Shavuot – “Weeks” We should never forget the importance of God’s harvest. (The physical or spiritual)

  16. Matthew 9:35-38 And Jesus was going about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the

  17. Matthew 9:35-38 gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

  18. Matthew 9:35-38 And seeing the multitudes, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and

  19. Matthew 9:35-38 downcast like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the

  20. Matthew 9:35-38 workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

  21. Shavuot – “Weeks” As the people were counting each day, week, and Sabbath; they were to remember the giving of God’s Law and consider three main things.

  22. Shavuot / Pentecost The first has to do with counting our blessings. We are to specifically remember how YHVH has blessed us over and over again.

  23. Shavuot / Pentecost The second has to do with truly evaluating the things that hinder our ability to obey God in order to overcome them.

  24. Hebrews 12:1-3 Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surround-ing us, let us also lay aside every (weight)

  25. Hebrews 12:1-3 encumbrance, and the sin which so easily entangles us and let us run with endurance the race that is set

  26. Hebrews 12:1-3 before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him

  27. Hebrews 12:1-3 endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

  28. Hebrews 12:1-3 For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you may not grow

  29. Hebrews 12:1-3 weary and lose heart.

  30. Shavuot / Pentecost The third has to do with declaring that with the help of God’s Word and Spirit, we will overcome and/or conquer any sin that may currently stand in our way.

  31. Shavuot / Pentecost The children of God have gathered together to remember and celebrate the giving of God’s instructions for living. (The Law)

  32. Shavuot / Pentecost Let’s experience just a taste of what they would have encountered on that day. Let’s take a look at Exodus 19:16.

  33. Exodus 19:16 So it came about on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunder and lightning flashes and a

  34. Exodus 19:16 thick cloud upon the mountain and a very loud trumpet sound, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.

  35. Exodus 19:17 And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.

  36. Exodus 19:18 Now Mount Sinai was all in smoke because the Lord descended upon it in fire; and its smoke ascended like

  37. Exodus 19:18 the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked violently.

  38. Exodus 19:19 When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him with thunder.

  39. Exodus 19:20 The Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain; and the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses

  40. Exodus 19:20-21 went up. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Go down, warn the people, so that they do not break through to

  41. Exodus 19:21 the Lord to gaze, and many of them perish.”

  42. Exodus 20:1 Then God spoke all these words, saying,

  43. Exodus 20:2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, of the house of slavery.”

  44. Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.”

  45. Exodus 20:4 “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.”
