Today we are reading Acts 2 where the Holy Spirit is poured out at the Pentecost Festival in Jerusalem. The keyword for this chapter is pneu-ma. The definition is “Spirit, breath, wind”. This is the word used to refer to the Holy Spirit. On that day 2,000 years ago the Holy Spirit was poured out on the disciples and it appeared as tongues of fire on each one of them. In addition, the disciples spoke in languages they had never studied. All the people who had journeyed to Jerusalem from throughout the world heard the wonders of God in their own languages. The result was that in one day 3,000 people became believers in Jesus. This is the work of the Holy Spirit. The amazing truth is that God still does the miracle of conversion. God still uses ordinary people like Peter and the other disciples. God uses you and I when He fills us with the Holy Spirit to speak His word. The same Spirit lives in each of us and works through us to bring people to Jesus. Pray for God to fill you with the Holy Spirit and use you today to be a champion for Christ! Pastor Tim
