“When the day of Pentecost was 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 all the house where they were sitting.”
~ Acts 2:1-2
From the Happy Pastor’s Study: Not only am I happy to come into the Lord’s House, but even happier to remind the Church it is Pentecost Sunday! The Holy Ghost is our strength, He helps us discern the times, He fills our life with Joy and He has gifted us with the Power of His Holy Spirit! Awesome! When I come to an annual Service that is on our Church Calendar, it is always to remind us of the Life of Christ. Jesus said; John 15:26 “When the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of Truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me: Anyone who has been in this Church knows about this Day. We celebrate it because it is the Day of the Outpouring of God’s Gift, The Holy Spirit. Today’s Message spot lights Peter, for He was a great part of this Historic Message that God sent to the Church. Peter’s Message begins in Acts 2 Vs 14. Now remember the Disciples had hid out when Jesus was Crucified, and especially Peter had promised – “Though I should die with Thee, yet will I not deny Thee.” Pretty much everyone knows -- Peter had three opportunities to “not deny” Jesus, but failed all three! But now something has happened to him, Peter has experienced the wind of the Holy Spirit, the Sign of a new language and he is empowered to stand before the very ones who Crucified Jesus and “boldly” exhort them – the murderers! How wonderful to celebrate Pentecost Sunday at this very time when we need a refreshing of such Power to strengthen us, to embolden us, to breathe upon us this Promise of Jesus’! John 14:16-17 “I will Pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever; Even the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” Well Peter’s Message flamed with Holy Ghost fire: “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have Crucified, both Lord and Christ! The multitude was pricked in there heart, and they said unto Peter, What Shall We do?” Humanity is at this very point today: “What Shall We do?” Be ready, Be a witness, Be full of the Holy Ghost and His Power! Be a Living Epistle! Please know you are in my Prayer daily and since we are “Over-comers” we shall Overcome! Loving you Pastor
