The Holy Spirit Book: Pentecost; Holy Spirit, Come!
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
Over 2,000 years ago, the promise God made to Jesus’ followers was fulfilled on Pentecost. The Holy Spirit came upon them and filled them with His power.
“On the day of Pentecost, seven weeks after
Jesus’ resurrection, the believers were meeting together in one place.
Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm
in the skies above them, and it filled the house where they were meeting. And
everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2:1-2, 4
The person, the purpose, and the power of the
Holy Spirit is a promise God made to all believers.
“Peter replied, ‘Each of you must repent of your
sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
This promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away--all who have
been called by the Lord our God.” Acts 2:39
If you have never received the baptism with the
Holy Spirit, simply pray the following prayer from The Holy Spirit Book. Let
today be your personal Pentecost. Holy Spirit, come!
Lord, how needy I am and how gracious and
abundant You are in Your grace and provision for me. How thankful I am that I
can continue to have more of You.
Thank you for fulfilling Your promise of the
Holy Spirit and for all the ways He has come to minister to me and work through
me. I am thankful for His presence and His power, and that You sent Him to be
with me, to be in me, and to come upon me.
Holy Spirit, I want to receive Your complete
ministry in my life.
Amen.
