Come, Holy Spirit
THE GREATEST PENTECOST" - All were filled with the Holy
Spirit." —Acts 2:4
Today is Pentecost. It is not merely a reminder of a past
event, but a continuation of the Spirit renewing the face of the earth (Ps
104:30). Today's Pentecost will not be a shadow of the first Pentecost, rather
the first Pentecost is a shadow of today's Pentecost. God's grace is abounding
all the more (see Rm 5:20). The Spirit is not diminishing His work in our world,
but increasing it. It will not be only thousands who come to Jesus today (see
Acts 2:41), but millions. The waters of the Spirit become deeper as they flow
further around the world and into history.
Totally surrender your life to Jesus. Renounce Satan and all
His works. Repent of sin. Ask for the Spirit. Ask Spirit-filled believers to lay
hands on you. Receive the Spirit. As you receive prayers for the Spirit, express
your love for the Lord by praising Him in your native language and in other
languages. Go out and tell others about your love for Jesus. Pentecost begins by
taking little steps of repentance, prayer, praise, and evangelization. If you
obey the Lord, you won't stifle the Spirit. Pentecost is now. The greatest
Pentecost is now. Come, Holy Spirit!
Father, give me the gifts to praise You in tongues, to
prophesy, and to evangelize.

On His Resurrection evening, Jesus "breathed on" His disciples "and said: 'Receive the Holy Spirit' " (Jn 20:22). The breath of Jesus brought the Holy Spirit and peace where previously there had been turmoil and fear.
On the day of Pentecost, "suddenly from up in the sky there came a noise like a strong, driving wind which was heard all through the house where they were seated. Tongues as of fire appeared, which parted and came to rest on each of them. All were filled with the Holy Spirit. They began to express themselves in foreign tongues and make bold proclamation as the Spirit prompted them" (Acts 2:2-4).
