"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"
Today's Bible Verse: "Acts 2: 1-4 "When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
Before Jesus ascended into heaven he commanded his disciples not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which", He said, "you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
Before Pentecost the Holy Spirit's work had been: (1) from without ("Spirit came upon"); (2) temporary; and (3) exceptional. After Pentecost the Spirit's work is: (1) from within (He indwells) (2) permanent and (3) normal, involving all. Three phenomenas occurred together that made the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost an unmistakable and unique event: (1) The rushing wind, (2) The visible flames resting on each believer present and (3) Speaking in "other tongues." There is no record of these three being present together at the same time.
The tongues that the the apostles spoke were recognized as the "native languages" of visitors who had come to Jerusalem for the festival. In the past 10 days we have seen the Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension, and today we read about the Holy Spirit's outpouring upon the disciples, and the beginning of the church and the start of the the Great Commission in which the Good News message of Jesus Christ would go out into all the world bringing a lost and sinful world to the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
Today's Hymn: "There's Something About That Name"
Jesus, Jesus. Jesus, There's something about that name
Master, Savior, Jesus, Like the fragrance after the rain.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Let all heaven and earth proclaim,
Kings and kingdoms will pass away, But there's something about that name.
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit May your word be a light be a lamp unto my feet and a light upon my path. Jesus be my guide and hold me to your side and I will love you to the end.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "The filling of the Spirit is the controlling influence of the Spirit within the believer."

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord with Gladness. Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T", GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".
Yours in Christ,
