Acts 2:1-4 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
It is good to note that in verse 4 it tells us of how the Holy Ghost is the evidence of speaking with tongues. I also find it rather interesting that this verse also is the fulfillment of Acts 1:8
"But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
God's language is universal. Unto every point of the earth. North. South. East. West. And all coordinates between. God wanted His Spirit to reside within every soul.
The Holy Ghost gives Power. Strength to live right. Strength to talk right. Strength to walk right. His Spirit is also the Comforter.
God's powerful, saving presence will always challenge us to understand Him and His ways. I'm so thankful I took the time to welcome the challenge. :) Pentecost in the 21st century has become a source of division, even as it is also a curiosity. I'm so thankful I've experienced it!!!! It has added to my life in innumerable ways. I really don't know what I'd do without it.
Happy Thursday to all. Be blessed.
