Acts 2:8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born?

When God sent the Holy Spirit to give the disciples something to speak about, it was not in half measures!

The Holy Spirit gave the disciples a whole new way of speaking, a way in which the people hearing all heard in their own dialect!

Nothing is impossible with Christ – as long as you are willing to give Him control and allow the Holy Spirit to really work with you and for you.

Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

If you are willing to learn during your school life you will come out of school knowing a whole lot more than when you went in.

If you are willing to learn during your church life, then you too will come out knowing a whole lot more; you will learn more about God love, mercy and holiness.

When you apply that knowledge and have faith in what you have learned you will begin to see just how much God gives us through the Holy Spirit.

Allow the Spirit to work in your life daily!

Acts 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

Other than how the Holy Spirit works within people, of which there are many accounts, there are not too many verses describing the Holy Spirit in its presence.

If you have ever been caught in a violent wind storm and taken shelter in a building of some description? The sound of the storm fills the place…

I know God does not require a noisy environment or violent winds in which to enter the room, but sometimes God wants us to stop and take notice.

What does it take for you to stop and listen to God?

Acts 1:14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

When the remaining 11 disciples went back to Jerusalem, they met in the upper room to pray and seek guidance just as Jesus had taught them.

But it was not just the 11 men who went there, it was also the women (unspecified who) and also Mary the mother of Jesus.

Prayer should be an inclusive thing which brings people together and not something separating us from other because of sex, race or anything else.

God wants us to be of one accord, together, praying, seeking Him.
