We have the Word. We know the words. We say what we say, and we know what we shouldsay. We repeat them often enough. We try to stir up enough faith to believe. We convince ourselves that we are holy, that we are doing what the Lord wants—but to what end?
How do we reach the end of ourselves, the end of all this stuff, to see God’s power manifest, present, and carried with us again?
Beloved, hear the call of the Spirit: return to the fire of His presence.
Not to the words only. Not to the form. Not to the motion. But to the living presence of the Lord.
We say the right things. We know the Scriptures. We quote the prophets. We recite the creeds. We cry, “Lord, Lord,” and we work in His name. But the aching question remains: Where is the power? Where is the trembling of the ground under His footsteps? Where is the weight of glory that makes men weep and fall on their faces?
O generation—you have built much, but have you touched the hem of His robe? You have filled the air with worship, but have you heard His voice in the secret place? You’ve followed strategies and ministries and models, but have you fallen in love with the Lord Himself? You are not alone—I, too, have walked this path. You are just like me. But we cannot stay here.
The time has come for holy desperation. The time has come to say with tears and trembling:
“Lord, we have nothing left but You.”
What does that mean? It means the idols must fall. It means we throw down the golden calves of comfort, ego, platform, and applause. It means we stop clinging to religion that denies the power of God—and we press in until the fire falls again. It means the pursuit of His presence becomes everything. Not a side note. Not a sermon point. Everything.
O brother. O sister. O weary heart—have you reached the end of yourself yet?
When your strength fails, He becomes your strength. When your words fall flat, His Spirit groans with power. When your plans are spent and your hands are empty—then, finally, you are ready. You are not disqualified because you’re weak. You are disqualified only if you still trust in your own strength.
Believers gathered in deep intercessory prayer, lifting silent groanings before God, surrounded by symbols of His covenant promises.
God waits—for those who will weep between the porch and the altar, for those who will rend their hearts and not just their garments.
“Return to Me with all your heart,” says the Lord, “and I will return to you” Joel 2:12–13, NASB).
A holy cry rises at sunset—the shofar sounds, declaring to heaven and earth: this world belongs to the Lord.
Let the shofar blast awaken you. Shake yourself from the dust! The King is at the door!
Will He find faith? Will He find fire?
Or will He find us asleep in the comfort of our programs, while His presence waits outside?
Return to the fire of His presence.
Return with fasting. Return with weeping. Return with longing. He is not far. He waits for the brokenhearted. He dwells with the contrite and lowly of spirit. Let the cry rise again from the depths of your soul:
“We have nothing left but You.”
And beloved—He is enough.
A Prayer for the Returning Heart
Father, we have wandered in our own ways. We’ve sung Your songs but not sought Your face. We’ve built our altars, but we left off the fire. Have mercy on us, O God. Strip us of every false thing. Let the fear of the Lord return to our hearts. We cry out—not for blessings, not for breakthrough, not for platforms—but for You.
We want You, Yeshua. We need You, Ruach HaKodesh. Consume us. Burn away everything that hinders love. Let the fire fall again—not around us, but in us. Make us the kind of people who carry Your presence. Let the world see again that You are not an idea.
You are the Living God. In the holy name of Yeshua,
“When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.” — Acts 2:1, NASB
I cry out to you as one crying in the wilderness: awaken your heart, for the Holy Spirit has not left us. He has not retreated to history’s quiet corners. He has not faded into the shadows of theology. Pentecost was not a moment to be remembered; it is a reality to be lived. The fire that fell in that upper room did not burn out—it spread. And it waits even now to consume you with power from on high. Embrace the Everlasting Pentecost in your life.
Pentecost came—and it stayed. This is the essence of The Everlasting Pentecost.
You who feel distant, who have known the Holy Spirit only as a name in a creed or a whisper in a worship song, listen! He is here. Not in concept or ritual, but in power and presence. “Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16, NASB). This is not poetic suggestion. It is truth that shatters complacency. The God who shook the upper room dwells in you.
The early disciples did not seek a passing experience. They waited in obedience and hunger, their hearts united. And suddenly, like a mighty rushing wind, God Himself came to dwell in men. That wind still blows. That fire still burns. The presence of the Spirit has not diminished—we have simply ceased to press in. In embracing The Everlasting Pentecost, we must press in continually.
We have grieved Him by replacing intimacy with activity. We have traded awe for entertainment. Our insensibility to the Spirit is not due to His absence but to our distraction. Yet, He waits. The dove of Heaven still descends upon the hearts that make room.
O child of God, you were not meant to live powerless. You were not called to survive off past revivals or secondhand stories. You were called to live Pentecost daily.“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8, NASB) And so is His Spirit.
If He is God, then He is always now. If He is God, then He is always here. There is no Elsewhere with El Shaddai. The Spirit is not bound by yesterday’s failures or tomorrow’s fears. He is the living power of God breaking into the present moment with eternal purpose.
You must not settle. Stir yourself. Let the cry of your heart rise: “Holy Spirit, come afresh! Fall on me again! I will not be content with the memory of Your presence—I must know You now and experience The Everlasting Pentecost.”
You must believe that Pentecost is your portion, not because of your strength, but because of Yeshua’s promise. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…”(Acts 1:8, NASB). This is not suggestion. It is a summons. It is time to rise, to repent of apathy, and to seek the fire that never dies.
God has not changed. The Spirit has not withdrawn. Pentecost is not past—it is present. Live in the reality of The Everlasting Pentecost.

Prayer
Father, in the mighty name of Yeshua, I repent of my unbelief and distraction. I have known of Your Spirit, but I long to know Him. Send Your fire again. Fill me with power from on high. Let me live in the fullness of Pentecost—not as history, but as my daily reality. Open my eyes to see Your presence, open my heart to receive Your power. Let me walk in obedience and boldness as the early disciples did. Let this day—this very moment—be the upper room of my soul. Come, Ruach HaKodesh. I make room for You. Amen.

The Fire of His Presence
O Lord, who rides upon the storm, whose breath ignites the flame, You stir the dust to rise and dance, and call Your children’s name. In wind and fire, You still appear, as on that holy day, Let every heart become Your throne, and never drift away.
I am going to start trying to use HEBREW names of God in articles, as IMHO they are richer in meaning than the normal English translations. Below is a key for this article: remember to ask El Shaddai for wisdom when seeking deeper understanding.
El Shaddai (God Almighty) emphasizes His power and provision, which fits when speaking of His generosity in giving wisdom.
Yeshua (Jesus) is appropriate when discussing salvation, the gospel, or light, as He is the Light of the World.
Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is used when referring to spiritual guidance, illumination, or empowerment.
Adonai (Lord) is often used when addressing God’s authority and sovereignty.
Elohim (God, Creator) highlights His divine majesty and role as the source of wisdom and truth.
Abba (Father) emphasizes the intimate, relational aspect of God, particularly in prayer.
Light Without Sight: Asking El Shaddai for Wisdom
Dear reader, have you ever felt lost, uncertain of what to do, or overwhelmed by the decisions before you? El Shaddai, the Almighty God, invites you to come to Him and ask for wisdom. James 1:5–8 (NASB) speaks directly to you:
“But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that person ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”
This is not a passive invitation. El Shaddai desires to generously give wisdom to you—but He asks for faith in return. When you approach Him, you must trust His goodness, power, and faithfulness. Doubt will only rob you of the peace and stability He offers.
Faith Unlocks the Wisdom of Elohim
When you ask Yeshua, the Light of the World, for wisdom, you must approach Him fully convinced of His ability to guide you. James warns against being double-minded, describing doubt as being “like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.” Doubt creates instability, leaving your heart torn between trust in Elohim and the distractions of this world.
The truth is, wisdom is not just intellectual knowledge—it is a gift of the Spirit, rooted in a deep relationship with Adonai. Proverbs 9:10 (NASB) reminds us: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” This holy reverence for God leads to wisdom that transforms your decisions and your life.
The Gospel Brings Light and Sight
As you seek wisdom, consider these words from 2 Corinthians 4:4 (NASB):
“The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers so that they will not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”
Satan blinds hearts and minds, preventing many from seeing Yeshua’s light and responding to it. This blindness doesn’t just affect unbelievers; it can creep into our hearts as doubt, pride, or distraction. You may know the truth, yet still lack the spiritual sight to walk in it fully.
Even Benjamin Franklin, brilliant as he was, illustrates this tragic reality. Despite hearing the gospel from the evangelist George Whitefield, he admitted he remained unconverted. He had light but lacked sight. Only the Spirit of God can open blinded eyes to see and respond to the truth.
How to Ask for Wisdom
El Shaddai offers wisdom to you freely, but He asks for your faith in return. Here’s how you can receive His wisdom: 1. Ask Boldly in Faith: Trust that Yeshua hears you and is eager to answer. “And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive” (Matthew 21:22, NASB). 2. Reject Doubt: Refuse to be tossed around by fear or uncertainty. Instead, anchor yourself in the promises of Elohim. 3. Seek His Presence Daily: True wisdom comes from intimacy with Yeshua. Spend time in prayer and His Word. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105, NASB). 4. Rely on the Spirit: Invite Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit, to lead and guide you in every decision.
A Prayer for Wisdom and Sight
Beloved, as you seek wisdom, remember that Adonai desires to draw you closer to Him. Pray with confidence:
Abba Father, thank You for Your promise to give wisdom generously to all who ask in faith. I lay my doubts at Your feet and trust You completely. Open my eyes to see Your truth and help me walk in Your light. By Your Spirit, guide my steps and make me a light for others, that they too may see Your glory in Yeshua, the Light of the World. Amen.
Let His Light Guide You
Beloved, don’t live in darkness or confusion. Seek El Shaddai with all your heart, and He will give you wisdom and clarity. Let the light of Yeshua transform your life, for He is the Light of the World, and in Him, there is no darkness at all.
