That's why they go to language school before they go to the mission field. We need to translate the message. This is information upon which their eternity depends. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-glory-of-no-room-6762 2012-12-11T09:53:39-05:00 Saturated, stuffed, consumed with the Holy Spirit. That's a Spirit takeover, and that's the culminating experience of the Christian life. It's funny we start with no room for Christ in our life; then we make room for Him. We let Him in, and as we grow we finally get restless with spiritual mediocrity and sameness. And then we say, "Lord, would You make me so there's no room for anything but You in every corner of my life?" http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%202:4&version=NIV 2009-10-02T10:25:32-05:00 On the day of Pentecost, the apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit and given the ability to speak in other languages. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%202:1-41&version=NIV 2009-09-20T19:17:54-05:00 The story of the first Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended (as promised by Jesus) to fill the disciples with His power. http://rbc.org/bible-study/discovery-series/bookletDetail.aspx?id=48012&Topic=866 2009-06-03T15:40:43-05:00 Who is the Holy Spirit? Is the Spirit a person or a power? Why did the Spirit come? What difference does all of this make to me? http://rbc.org/devotionals/our-daily-bread/2008/05/10/devotion.aspx 2009-06-03T15:40:15-05:00 Because of what happened on Pentecost, we tend to associate the Holy Spirit’s presence and power with amazing phenomena and large numbers. We forget that a little later the same people filled with the same Holy Spirit were rejected, flogged, imprisoned, even executed... http://rbc.org/bible-study/discovery-series/bookletDetail.aspx?id=48232&Topic=870 2009-06-03T15:39:20-05:00 The spring feasts of Israel--Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, and Pentecost--help paint a powerful portrait of the work of Christ as Messiah, and encourage us in our worship as well. http://rbc.org/bible-study/discovery-series/bookletDetail.aspx?id=48270 2009-06-03T15:38:09-05:00 And just exactly what does that mean? If I am filled with the Spirit, will I know it? These questions are being asked today by Christians who want to walk with God and please Him. http://rzim.org/USA/USFV/tabid/436/ArticleID/10310/CBModuleId/1133/Default.aspx 2009-06-03T11:25:59-05:00 What's the real meaning and context of Pentecost? Reflections on this momentous event, from Margaret Manning at Ravi Zacharias Ministries. http://biblica.com/bible/verse/index.php?q=Acts2 2008-06-18T16:54:22-05:00 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
