They were ALL with ONE ACCORD.
In ONE PLACE for 7 to 10 days.
PRAYING – for the Promise from the Father.
And flames of fire set upon EACH OF THEM.
They were ALL FILLED with HOLY SPIRIT.
And began to SPEAK with other TONGUES.
Jesus came to baptize you in Holy Spirit.
Believe that the flame of fire on your neighbors head is also on your head, receiving your own individual encounter with Holy Spirit, and believing the same God that offers Holy Spirit to others, is the same God that offers Him to YOU! He’s for EACH & for ALL!
1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 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. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:1-4 NKJV
Luke 3:16, John 1:32–34, Acts 2:1–4, Mark 1:7–8, Matthew 3:11
“Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” – Paul
“We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.” – Disciples in Ephesus
And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. It is possible to be a believer and a disciple and not have heard about Holy Spirit.
Have you heard? If you are a disciple of Jesus (mathētēs – A pupil, committed student; a follower and learner of someone), according to the Bible, it is a basic, elementary part for a new believer’s life. The world cannot receive Holy Spirit, but once you are reborn, and have a born-again spirit, then He can baptize you in Holy Spirit, because your spirit can contain what Jesus wants to immerse you into, giving you power for your life as a disciple of Jesus.
John 20:19-22, Acts 19:1-7, Acts 1:6-8 NKJV
If we are Christians, what are we supposed to be doing?
We are to be conformed to the image of JESUS! Growing & becoming more like JESUS!
Too often our spiritual motivation is comparing ourselves to others, which can sound something like, “Well, I’m not as bad as . . . “
When we look at JESUS, we should always see room to grow. It’s what christianity is about – constantly look at JESUS to become like JESUS.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Romans 8:28-29 NKJV
Matthew 16:13–18, 2 Corinthians 4:16–18, Matthew 28:18–20, Romans 8:28–29, Romans 12:2
Sowing & Reaping – it’s a universal law of the Kingdom of God.
There is SEED & TIME – TIME – TIME & HARVEST.
We must sow into the things of God. If your mind if full of the wrong things, you must begin to plant things that will produce a different result. The things of God are the only things that will matter in eternity. It’s time to get your mind full of the things of God. It’s time to be a disciple. It’s how we prepare for eternity.
“While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22 NKJV
Matthew 16:13–23, Matthew 28:18–20, Genesis 8:22, Galatians 6:7–9, Romans 12:2
Church, we have revelation knowledge from God through Holy Spirit. He speaks what the Father & Son say to your spirit (revelation knowledge) – not to your brain (rational knowledge). It is how God builds us up beyond our own reasoning.

The things you need to know for what is coming, you can’t handle or understand without Holy Spirit who guides each of us and declares to us ALL TRUTH!
“However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.” John 16:13-15
John 16:5–15, Matthew 28:18–20, Luke 24:44–53, Acts 1:4–8, Matthew 16
