The Power

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Today is Pentecost. They were gathered together. Read Acts 2: 1-4. Yes, they heard the sound of a violent rushing wind, but there was no wind. Yes, they saw tongues of fire settling on each person, but they didn’t catch fire. They were gathered together. Together. They heard the sound together, they saw the fire that settled on each person. Oh come on . Holy Spirit is here and he is with personally. We know him collectively, but he guides us personally. 

It’s bigger than just speaking in other languages - no, we are empowered to witness. And there are no language barriers. There are no barriers. That day the disciples shared what they witnessed, what they felt. - in other languages. We tell our story.  

You know we feel when we get together as family. We always have great memories.  Can you even see the memories coming out of that? Come on, we too have those memories. We tell our story. Our actions tell our story that Holy Spirit guides. We are empowered to do what we do in his name. enough for now.
