Acts 2:1-6 ~ hearing them speak in his own language

Acts 2:1-6

When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. 6 And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language.

Christmas is a work of the Holy Spirit. Bringing New Wind to do away with the loss of long, long summer days and evenings. Christmas defeats seasonal grumpiness. Unless you are a green creation called Grinch.

Many houses are filled with team Christmas. All talents are engaged. Cookies. More gifts of time and talents. Visiting. Planning. Chores. Carrying. Finding. Looking. Finding. Flashlights. Fetching. Errand and errant buying the missing part. Building. Cleaning. Wrapping. Cleaning. Cooking. Cleaning.

Days Will Come.

Plans have been made.

Tongues of Fire. Decisions are made. Time. Vacation schedules. Destinations. A new wind to discover direction. WOT!

Discovering the new wind of how to wrap all the 'incoming' and how to dodge the outflow.

Are we doing this right?

 arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house 

Creating an event - where everyone speaks their own language.

And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language.

WHERE IS ALL IS CALM  and ALL IS BRIGHT?

The Work of the Holy Spirit!

The Children of Israel leaving Egypt didn't feel like all the organizational lists had prepared them for the voyage. The Team didn't play on clear sides in crisp uniforms. Mother had not prepared me for days like this. Some on the voyage weren't sure they wanted the ticket. Pharaoh didn't sign up for the trip and seemed to be running late with all his buddies.

Jesus said Days will come.

And yet... Samson's Parents wanted to see the Annunciation again. Wot? Wot did the Angel say?

Paul was ready for the travel itinerary - but the flight down the wall in the basket - was surely going to have Zip Line Additional Charges.

Sosthenes didn't always find Works of the Holy Spirit so soothing.

The Scriptures are Real!!!!

Consider the arrival of What God has Planned...

A sound like a mighty rushing wind
We have all read this for so long, It's possible we picture a robe and halo version of this:



And probably the first day and the first few years - The Disciples would recognize this:

And this is the way each season works - with changing needs. Changing Talents. When the flu arrives. When new jobs happen. Memories are Made!!!

Just as the Holy Spirit arrived - the call was to Love One Another in High Wind!!! 

This is a Work of the Holy Spirit!

Work through the changes, the charges and 

the astonishment of the Wind of the Spirit!!!

Abba,

Good News of Great Joy for All People. The Good News of Jesus Christ. Love one another.

More Heaven upon the earth, Your Good Will!

More than Christmas snow - Cover us all in Jesus and Your Love. Put the Seal of God of Love upon us!

Blessed Lord Jesus Welcome! 

 Amen!

♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
