The Holy Spirit! Coming Soon!

Pentecost is this Sunday, the day that the disciples get to speak in tongues, and preach the story about Jesus and his life.

So lets deep into this more.

    "Suddenly there was a noise from the sky which sounded like a strong wind blowing,and  filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire which spread out and touched each person there . They were all filled with the holy spirit and began to talk in other languages, as the spirit enabled them to speak." - Acts 2: 2-4. 


Well to start off, Pentecost means "fifty". So fifty days of Easter have gone and fifty days of the Holy Spirit will come.Pentecost is the day that the holy spirit  came to the disciples and whoever else was with them.The Holy Spirit can make us do marvelous things. He can save lives! A speaker at a retreat i went to told us this story about the Holy spirit: So her dad was going out of the city, ( he was a good and safe driver) but she kept saying she doesn't want to go with him. But, anyways he went driving and a car from the other ongoing lane crashed into the car her dad was driving. Now he was in the hospital for many days and the doctor said the there would be a 5% chance of him living. So when the daughter found out, her and her family prayed to the holy spirit that her dad might live. Then the next day they went to visit him in the hospital and the doctors said that he was going live and everything was okay.

So that's one way i know that the spirit works.The spirit can work in many ways, if you need to be cheered up ask the spirit to help you and surly enough he will help you.   The fire touched each of them. The fire touched each of them. The spirit was with them, the spirit was in them, the spirit loved them. And if we ask  the spirit will come to us and bless us and able to speak in tongues.

Then their was a loud noise like blowing wind. they must have been scared at first, truly because there was a large blow of wind outside and then in the room, until they got the spirit. The spirit lived in them for the rest of their lives, through prison, through persecution, through hatred, through hardships, and so the spirit is with us when we have to deal with hard things in our life. (like exams ;)....)  The disciples were amazed with what they were able to do once they had the spirit in them. And we to are amazed when we see first hand  what the spirit can do.

May the spirit come upon us this Pentecost and may he bless us for ever!
