Famine is giving way to feasting at such a fast pace we don’t have time to analyze it, we are being invited to embrace it and let it wrap itself around us like a heated blanket on a cold and rainy morning. Famines in the word of God were seasonal not eternal. The longer the famine the harder it was to transition into the feasting. Yahweh set up a cycle of feasts that His people would attend throughout different times of the year to remind them famines are seasonal and feasts are continual. The three main feasts of God are Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles, but there are other feasts they celebrated as well.
Every nation has a cycle of feasts that break the famines in our nations. For America we have Easter, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I know there are many more but those are the big four. In Malaysia they have many feasts because they had three main religions in the country. We had Merdeka Day, Chinese New Year, Deepavali. It was a time of feasting and it broke any famine off of the people. Feasting and famine are experiences we all have had. The famine or lean times are not fun but they are endurable, they are educational if you can hear what the famine is saying.
Feasting is the norm in the kingdom culture. When we live in submission, in obedience to, in honor of the God who is abundance we find ourselves in a feast everyday for His word and His presence never run out. Psalm 31:8 says “You have kept me from being conquered by my enemy; you broke open the way to bring me to freedom, into a beautiful, broad place.” (TPT) As I prayed this the Lord glanced at me and said, “This is what I do! This is who I Am!” Friends, we have been pressed but not conquered by the enemy; we have been given a way to freedom and now we are entering into beautiful broad places. Grab His hand, He has so much He wants to show us and so many places He wants to take us. The feast is upon us!!!!
