In Acts 2, we see many believers had gathered together in one place (Jerusalem). They were recounting how God had revealed Himself to their ancestors on Mount Sinai.
They were thinking about the glory; they were talking about the fire; they were reminded of the voice of God and the revelation their forefathers had received.
Then suddenly, what the God of Israel had done 1,500 years earlier materialized! The Lord appeared again in an instant, revealing Himself with the same glory and fire that Moses and the children of Israel had encountered at Mount Sinai.
“When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly a noise like a violent rushing wind came from heaven, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And tongues that looked like fire appeared to them, distributing themselves, and a tongue rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with different tongues, as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out” (Acts 2:1-4, NASB).
This day became known in Greek as Pentecost and is called in Hebrew, Shavuot. Shavuot/Pentecost occurs 50 days after Passover.
Yeshua had promised us a helper, and on that glorious day, He came—the one who walks alongside us and lives within us. Since that day, all believers possess a power unlike anything else on this earth!
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I said to you” (John 14:26).
Beloved, the Holy Spirit is living inside us to guide us, teach us, help us, and comfort us. With God inhabiting us, nothing is impossible. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us! (see Rom. 8:11).
There is nothing to fear, no reason to doubt and no ploy of the enemy that can defeat us.
“Behold, I have given you authority to walk on snakes and scorpions, and authority over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you” (Luke 10:19).
We are invincible. We are conquerors. We will reign forever with Him in glory!
We are supernatural beings! As the holy season of Pentecost is upon us, invite Father to interrupt your life with His glory and fire. Ask Him to change and refine you!
