God Speaks Thru Times and Season
1. Biblical Basis: God Speaks Through Times & Seasons
a. Seasons as Divine Appointment
Ecclesiastes 3:1–8 (KJV)
"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven..."
This passage shows that every season has a God-ordained purpose—whether it’s for sowing, reaping, weeping, laughing, building, or breaking down. Recognizing the season is key to understanding God’s timing.
b. Feasts and Holy Days
Leviticus 23 details the 7 Feasts of Israel, each representing a spiritual reality:
Passover & Unleavened Bread → Redemption and separation from sin
Firstfruits → Resurrection and new beginnings
Pentecost (Shavuot) → Outpouring of the Spirit
Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) → Awakening and divine calling
Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) → Forgiveness, cleansing, reconciliation
Tabernacles (Sukkot) → Rest, provision, dwelling with God
These appointed times (moedim) were God’s way of speaking His plan for the year and guiding His people spiritually.
c. Natural and Life Seasons
Genesis 8:22 (KJV)
"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
Even nature’s cycles communicate God’s faithfulness and divine order. Observing seasonal patterns often reveals timing for planting, waiting, or action.
2. Personal and Prophetic Application
God can speak through:
1. Life Seasons: Times of waiting, testing, blessing, or expansion.
Ex: Joseph’s prison season prepared him for kingship.
2. Calendar Seasons: Months, years, or prophetic cycles.
Ex: The Hebrew calendar (like 5786) can reveal God’s “divine programs” for personal, family, and ministry growth.
3. Natural Events: Harvest, springtime, rain, and celestial events.
Ex: Ruth gleaned during harvest—a divine appointment.
4. Spiritual Seasons: Times of revival, breakthrough, or judgment.
Ex: Pentecost signaled a new era of Spirit-filled ministry.
