Yesterday was Pentecost Sunday. We desired and prayed for a passionate, powerful Pentecost and the Lord heard our prayers! We, his Chruch, were blessed through our Lord’s presence in praise, worship, prayer, preaching and touched and changed lives. Bring thanks and glory to his Name.
Before Jesus left his disciples and returned to heaven, he promised that he would send them a helper, the Holy Spirit. The word helper means, "one called alongside." He stands beside us to help us. Because of the Spirit, we who are believers in Christ, fight no battles and face no issues alone. The pouring out of the Holy Spirit should and does make a difference in our lives everyday.
A Spirit-filled people proclaim the Good News of the Gospel to a world lost in sin. God makes his gracious, saving voice heard through them.
And a Spirit filled people have the power of God in order to be faithful to their calling:
(Acts 1:8) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes ...
This power helps us to lead a victorious Christian life and pursue a life of Christian character. Through the power of the Spirit we are blessed with spiritual fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
May the Lord bless us all with Pentecostal grace!
