The Hebrew word kum (קוּם) means “arise.”

The time between Passover and Pentecost is a journey of 50 days called in Hebrew the “counting of the Omer.” Remember when you traveled with your kids, they were little, and would constantly ask, “are we there yet?” That is what the counting of the Omer is like.

At Passover we are delivered from bondage and slavery to sin. Like, Israel we have to walk out our deliverance. We have to move into a covenant relationship with our Heaveny Father.

This journey is not easy. It is difficult. We have walk away from old talk, thinking, mindsets, and actions of our past. When we do there is freedom.

That is what Pentecost is for. Being baptized in the Holy Ghost empowers us to love with Abba Father’s love. Holy Spirit empowers us with Yah’s authority to over come.

When Yeshua raised Jarius’ daughter from the dead he said, “Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”

The Hebrew word kum (קוּם) means “arise.” Talitha means “little lamb.” That could have been her name, or He could have addressed her with this term of endearment.

Kum has a deep meaning. Whenever the LORD addressed someone in the Old Testament, almost every time, He would begin with “Kum.” It has the meaning that one had to arise spiritually to do the assignment the Lord was giving.

Just when I think I’ve arrived in my walk with Jesus, Holy Spirit shows me areas of my life that I still need to die to self.

Let me encourage you in this 50 day journey, the counting of the Omer, to arise spiritually to do the assignment Adonai has given you. Shalom Shalom!
