Pentecost and the Holy Spirit!
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who rely on the power of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Jesus appeared to his disciples and told them to expect something after he ascended into heaven. When the Holy Spirit came upon praying believers, everything changed.
Luke, writing in Acts 2:1-4 (ESV), reports what happened:
“When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
The faithful began being understood by those who spoke different languages. Some mocked what was happening by saying the faithful were drunk with new wine. But this was denied. Many believed and were added to the church. Lives were changed that day.
