It\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/power-of-prayer\/5-prayers-for-pentecost-the-churchs-birthday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">often thought of as the birthday of the church<\/a> (more on that). Let\u2019s look at the Biblical record:<\/p>\n<p>1)<em>\u00a0\u00a0When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.<\/em>\u00a0(Acts 2:1) Jesus had ascended into heaven and His followers were trying to figure out what was next. What did they do? They gathered \u201ctogether in one place.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/the-miracle-of-pentecost-delivers-a-powerful-reminder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Things can happen<\/a> when believers congregate.<\/p>\n<p>2)\u00a0\u00a0<em>And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.<\/em>\u00a0(Acts 2:2) God is big, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/daily-devotions\/devotions-for-faith-prayer\/tap-into-gods-tremendous-power\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beyond our comprehension.<\/a> Just when we think we have figured things out, we can be startled out of our boots!<\/p>\n<p>3)\u00a0\u00a0<em>Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them.<\/em>\u00a0(Acts 2:3) Not just the ability to speak a foreign language but a visual symbol as well, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/breaking-down-the-mystery-of-speaking-in-tongues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201ctongues, as of fire.\u201d<\/a> I\u2019ll never forget the Sunday when the preacher, in his enthusiasm, suggested we eat special foods to honor Pentecost. \u201cShall we eat tongue?\u201d whispered a friend. A Pentecost birthday cake!<\/p>\n<p>4)\u00a0\u00a0<em>All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.\u00a0<\/em>(Acts 2:4) Take note that in their humility, the disciples gave credit where credit was due. Their linguistic powers were heaven-sent.<\/p>\n<p>5)\u00a0\u00a0<em>Amazed and astonished, they asked, \u201cAre not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?\u201d\u00a0<\/em>(Acts 2:7-8) As the <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/bible-resources\/deepen-your-faith\/the-poetry-of-the-king-james-bible\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poet W.H. Auden<\/a> pointed out, the astounding gifts of Pentecost weren\u2019t just in speech but also in understanding. Isn\u2019t that precisely where we could all use the Spirit\u2019s help?<\/p>\n<p>6)\u00a0\u00a0<em>Peter said to them, \u201cRepent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.\u00a0<\/em>(Acts 2:38) <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/holiday-prayers\/what-is-pentecost-the-church-s-birthday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pentecost means \u201c50,\u201d <\/a>coming as it did 50 days after Easter. Back then, on Good Friday, Peter denied he even knew Jesus. Not now. Not going forward. He can offer the gifts of the Holy Spirit because he has received them. He changed like we, too, can be changed.<\/p>\n<p>7)\u00a0\u00a0<em>\u201cBut you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0(Acts 1:8) It happened just as Jesus predicted, and it continues to this day.
