Pentecost

Pentecost

One of my very favorite places in all of Scripture is Acts chapters 1-2. In the first chapter, we’re told that the disciples gathered as one in an upper room for prayer (Acts 1:14). In the second chapter, we read that God moved mightily in that place—filling those gathered with His Holy Spirit (Acts 2:4) just as Jesus had promised (Luke 24:49). The church was born on that marvelous first Pentecost Day. Friends, just as God honored that prayer meeting two thousand years ago, He will surely do the same today. Let’s start gathering together to lift up our voices to God more often. Surely, we will see the winds of God blowing and the fire of the Spirit falling afresh in our day. Now that’s something to pray about!
