The Wind Is Shifting In Your Favor
A Prophetic Word for May 2026 | InLight Connection | Dr. Krista Abbott
In early March, I was flying home from an event in California. Two flights. Both arrived 30 to 40 minutes ahead of schedule…twice in a row. As we touched down early on that second flight, I heard God say something I knew immediately was not just about the flight. He said…
“The wind is in your favor.”
I felt deeply that was a prophetic word for this season, not just for me personally, but for His people on a larger scale. Later, when I looked at the biblical calendar, I found that it all lines up in a way I don’t believe is coincidence at all.
The Season We Are In
Right now we are living inside one of the most significant 49-day windows on the biblical calendar—the season between Passover and Pentecost, known in Hebrew tradition as the Counting of the Omer. These days are not coincidental. They are intentional.
Passover marks the moment of freedom … the blood on the doorposts, the departure from Egypt, chains broken in one night. Last month, as Passover and Easter converged in the same week, the word was clear: freedom confirmed.
But freedom is not the destination. It is the doorway.
And Shavuot (Pentecost) is the arrival of the Holy Spirit, the moment where the disciples received the empowerment and boldness to go and do.
In Acts 2, the disciples gathered in the upper room, and suddenly:
“And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.” Acts 2:2–4
They went from hiding behind locked doors, waiting, uncertain, not equipped … to walking into streets and speaking with a boldness that reached three thousand people in a single day. Between Passover and that moment were 49 days. Those 49 days are the season we are in right now.
The Pattern in Both Testaments
What makes this season so powerful is that the same arc appears in both the Old and New Testaments. Again, two witnesses saying the same thing.
In the Old Testament: The Israelites left Egypt on Passover, journeyed 49 days through the wilderness, and on the 50th day (The First Pentecost) God descended on Sinai in fire and wind and gave them the Torah: His covenant, His law, instructions for living written on stone tablets.
In the New Testament: Jesus shared the Last Supper on Passover with his followers…a covenant at the table before the crossing.
Then came the Cross: fredom sealed with the blood
“It is finished.” John 19:30
Everything that held humanity in bondage…sin, death, the curse, it was dealt with and done.
Then the Resurrection: new life, new identity, available to everyone who receives it.
Then the Ascension, and before He left, Jesus named the assignment:
“Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19–20
He clarified what they were carrying before the empowerment arrived. Because empowerment is always in service of an assignment.
Then He told them to wait…the assignment requires power you don’t yet have on your own. Wait for the wind…receive the power…go and do.
Freedom comes first. Then the transformation (new identity).
Then comes the power to carry the assignment.
This is also the shift from the old covenant to the new. At Sinai, the law was written on stone—external, outside of His people, creating a gap between who they were and what was required. That gap became the source of shame, striving, and exhaustion. But the new covenant promises something radically different:
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.” Ezekiel 36:26–27
Notice that word: move you. Not tell you. Not require of you. Move you. He produces both the desire and the capacity. This season is not about trying harder. It is about being transformed from the inside out.
The 3 Movements of This Season
#1. From Egypt—Shedding the Old Identity
Egypt is the identity you carried before you knew who you actually were…it’s every label handed to you by your family, your history, your wounds, and your failures, other people’s views and opinions of you…
The Israelites left Egypt physically free, but the identity Egypt placed on them came with them. The wilderness was an opportunity for transformation. God was removing the survival mode, the ceilings they had accepted as permanent, the labels Egypt had put on them that had become their sense of self.
Some of you are carrying a label of lack, of invisibility, of disqualification, or of too late. You have accepted these as permanent truths about who you are and what is possible for you.
None of those labels are from God.
The Counting of the Omer is a divine invitation to lay them down … not just intellectually, but in your actual lived identity.
#2. Through the Wilderness—Identity Transformation
Patterns that won’t break always have a belief underneath them. The pattern is the fruit. The belief is the root. The Israelites got out of Egypt, but Egypt didn’t get out of them right away…that’s what the wilderness was for. God was doing surgery on their identity, replacing the way they thought about themselves, about Him, and about what was possible.
You cannot enter the promised land with an Egypt mindset. And you cannot carry Pentecost power with a slave identity.
This is the heart transformation the Omer is producing:
“You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.” 2 Corinthians 3:3
At Sinai, God wrote on stone—external, requiring performance.
At Pentecost, God writes on hearts—internal, producing transformation, equipping, and empowering for the assignment.
The shift from stone-tablet identity to Spirit-written identity is what this season is inviting you into.
#3: The Assignment—Clarified and Confirmed
Here is the most underappreciated moment in the resurrection narrative: the ascension. Jesus didn’t just say goodbye. Before He left, He named the assignment: go, make disciples, teach the kingdom. He clarified what His people were carrying before the empowerment arrived.
The wind doesn’t blow aimlessly. It comes with purpose and with power. It fills the life and heart that knows where it’s going.
One of the primary things this Omer season is doing is preparing you for where God is taking you so you can do what God has given you to do.
God is naming clearly and specifically what He has placed in you for this moment. What does that look like for you?
The ministry that has been circling but never launched? The creative gift sitting in a drawer? The room you were made to walk into? The calling you know is yours but have been waiting to feel ready for?
The wilderness prepares you to carry it. Pentecost empowers you to go.
It empowers you to step out of the room and into the streets to do what God told you to do.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8
What has felt like a difficult path forward on your own…
God is about to put wind behind it and accelerate your freedom, your transformation, and your empowerment.
3 Steps to Activate This Word
Here is how to make it practical:
Step 1: Name the Label
What is the false identity, the old agreement, that has been running in the background of your life? Not your highlight reel answer. The real one. The one that surfaces when things don’t work out. Write it down and give it a name, because you cannot break agreement with something that doesn’t have a name.
Step 2: Break the Agreement
Say this out loud, and fill in the blank with what came up. Your ears need to hear this.
“I release the label of _______. It was not given to me by God and it does not define me.”
“I break agreement with the belief that _______. That is not what God says is true.”
“I renounce the lie that this is as far as I go — that this is the ceiling — that the cycle gets the final word over my life.”
Heaven heard that. Write down what you just declared, and keep declaring it until you believe it and you feel the shift in your identity happen!
Step 3: Receive the True Identity
Open your hands and receive what is actually true.
“I receive the truth that I am _______. That is what God says. That is what the cross purchased. That is my actual identity.”
You are free…fully, completely, without conditions. God’s call on your life is not contingent on your history. You are sent, equipped, and enough for what He has placed in you.
Then ask the Holy Spirit one final question:
“Holy Spirit, what is one step the empowered version of me takes this week? Not someday. This week.”
Write it down. Then do it. Obedience is what protects the word.
The Wind Is Already Blowing
Pentecost is May 24th. And the same God who descended on Sinai in fire and wind…the same Holy Spirit who turned a room of frightened, uncertain people into a force that reached thousands in a single day…is still moving right now.
This is a kairos window. A season where the act of taking the step creates the grace and momentum to continue. Where what has felt immovable shifts quickly when the Spirit is moving and you bring your obedience to meet it.
You cannot move with the wind if you’re still anchored to Egypt. But that is exactly what this season is for.
The window is open. The wind is blowing. And it is blowing in your favor.
The best of what God has placed in you is not behind you.
It is in front of you … Look ahead.
