Pentecost Sunday

Acts 2:1-4 (New Living Translation) 1 On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. 2 Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 3 Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. 4 And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.


Yesterday we celebrated Pentecost Sunday. My husband did a great job preaching this message. Acts 2:1-4 was his text and he used scripture from the Old and New Testament to talk about the Holy Spirit.

Exodus 31:2-4 (KJV) 2See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: 3And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, 4To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 5And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.

1 Corinthians 2:12 (KJV) 12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Acts 2:16-18 (KJV) 16But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

Today is the 11th anniversary of my dad’s passing. The Holy Spirit was definitely at work in the lives of my family that day. We could not have gotten through the day and the days ahead without Him. After my dad’s passing, the peace of God so filled the room to where it overflowed to the other parts of the house. The Holy Spirit strengthened all of us during that difficult time. Even though it was a difficult and sad time, God helped us each step of the way. The verse that I clung to talks about God will keep me in perfect peace if I keep my mind on Him.

I am thankful for the work of the Holy Spirit in my life during the passing of my dad, as well as today. I need Him every day of my life! How about you?
