118. The Holy Spirit Comes

118.


The Day of Pentecost
1.

Today's Passage: Acts 2:1-13

Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the chapter NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).


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.
5. At that time there were devout Jews from every nation living in Jerusalem.
6. When they heard the loud noise, everyone came running, and they were bewildered to hear their own languages being spoken by the believers.
7. They were completely amazed. "How can this be?" they exclaimed. "These people are all from Galilee,
8. and yet we hear them speaking in our own native languages!
9. Here we are ⏤Parthians, Medes, Elamites, people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, the province of Asia,
10. Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, and the areas of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome
11. (both Jews and converts to Judaism), Cretans, and Arabs. And we all hear these people speaking in our own languages about the wonderful things God has done!"
12. They stood there amazed and perplexed. "What can this mean?" they asked each other.
13. But others in the crowd ridiculed them, saying, "They're just drunk, that's all!"
Acts 2:1-13 NLT


2.

Today, I suggest the 1st Strategy from our list.
Lectio Divina

 
  • Ask God to open your heart and mind to what is written in the passage.
  • Read the passage
  • Re-read the passage looking for 3 words or phrases that really resonate in your heart.
  • Write those words down.
  • Re-read the passage. Of the 3 words which 1 resonates most in your heart?
    • Ask yourself what does this word mean in my life?
    • Where do I need change/growth/revelation?
  • Write this word down. Or, remember this word throughout your day.
  • Ask God to show you meaning from the passage.
  • We read, reflect, and communicate. Share with the community.
3.

Father thank you for sending your Spirit.
Help us learn from these passages as you share how that transpired.
Emmanuel, you are with us.
We desire to abide in you.
In your name, Jehoshua, we pray this today.
Amen.

4.

Please leave you name and your last initial.
If God has given you any thoughts to share with the community, please do.
Praying for you today.

Why is it we always make fun or put down what we don't understand.

Help me to stay humble and open minded if God wants to speak to me in a way that is new
