ACTS I & II | The Coming of The Spirit | Acts 2:1-13 | Philip Anthony Mitchell
In the final Passover and Pentecost, the disciples had every reason to grow weary, frustrated, and full of doubt, yet they remained devoted to prayer and the Scriptures, holding fast to what Jesus said.
Then suddenly, a sound like a mighty rushing wind filled the room, and the Holy Spirit was poured out. They were baptized and filled for the works of making disciples.
Some heard the wonders of God and were drawn to transformation, while others responded with mockery.
If you're a guest, we welcome you to 2819, where we are serious about the spread of the gospel and the multiplying of disciples. To all of our digital disciples watching live across America and around the world, we welcome you. Our digital family, we are on mission right now for Christ across the world, standing on business for the Lord Jesus Christ in these last days. It's more than just technology. We are a global family. We pray for you. We love you. You're an extension of our house wherever you are, and if you're in this room or you crept into this china, you're not a follower of Jesus. We are glad that you're here. We want you to know that you can belong before you believe and be amongst us before you believe. And our prayer is that you would come to know the Lord Jesus before time has run out on you. We're in a series called Acts 1 and 2, where we are walking through the first two chapters of the book of Acts together, a book of origin written by Luke in the AD 60s. It records the formation of the Christian church in the first 30 years of its history. Our text today, Acts chapter 2, verses 1 through 13. I come against every demonic force arrayed against 2819 and every demonic force pushing on the minds of people in this moment. Satan the Lord rebuke you. Spirit of the living God, we thank you that you are present in the earth, present in the room, present across these cameras. Breathe, move, walk, have your way, spirit of the living God, have your way, spirit of the living God. For none is more powerful than you, have your way, God. Hey, hey, hey, God, hey, fire, God, hallelujah, send fire, God, send fire, tear down strongholds in our minds, lies built up in our minds, rob us of hearts of stone and give us hearts
of flesh. Hey, hey, hey, hey, give us hearts of flesh, God. Breathe, breathe on your sons and daughters, give revelation and insight. We ask in the mighty, hey, and the majestic and the matchless name of our soon coming king, the Lord Jesus Christ, and all God's people shout amen, shout amen and amen, hallelujah. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hallelujah, hey, hallelujah, God, hey, fire, hallelujah, God, fire, fire, hallelujah, God, fire, hey, fire. Hey, hallelujah, fire! Feel the Spirit of God. Hallelujah, God! Fire! Hallelujah! Hey! Hey! Fire! Hallelujah! Hey! Hey! Fire, hallelujah! Hey! Fire! Feel the Spirit of God. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Feel the Spirit walking the room, walking past your chair. Hey! I feel the Spirit walking past your chair! Hey! Hallelujah! Hallelujah, God.
Fire! Hallelujah, Jesus! There's something alive on the inside of me, on the inside of you. Hey! Woo! Somebody clap! Somebody run! Somebody jump! Somebody scream, hallelujah! Woo! Hey! Do you feel that? That's called power. You feel that? You feel that in the room? That's called power. I said, do you feel that? I'm talking to you. That's called power. Let me tell you what does not have that. No sports team, no Fortune 500 company, no false religion. The most powerful organism in the earth is the global church of Jesus Christ. There is no organism, no entity in the earth more powerful than the global church of Jesus, because at the center of the church is the power of the third person of the Trinity, the third person of the Godhead. His name is the Holy Spirit. He has not attached himself to Fortune 500 companies. He has not attached himself to false religions. He has not attached himself to false progenitors, but he is forever united with the church. Wherever the people of God are, in any city, in any state, in any nation, on any continent,
the power of the Holy Spirit is there. Wherever you are as a saved Christian, even when you are by yourself, the power of the Holy Spirit is there. When you show up, the Holy Spirit shows up. He is the one that's empowering the church. it is the Holy Spirit that inspires gospel proclamation it is the Holy Spirit that inspires gospel songs like for Christ alone it is the Holy Spirit that leads you and guides you into all truth it is the Holy Spirit who warns you of people you should not be in relationships with it is the Holy Spirit that engineers our pathways to cross one another in different seasons and times it is the Holy Spirit that creeps into your prayer room and comforts you when your heart is hurting and wounded and broken it is the Holy Spirit who is ordering your footsteps warning you of dangers around the corner putting songs in your heart in the middle of the night giving you courage when your heart is full of fear giving you guidance when you don't know where to go giving you answers when you are confused it is the Holy Spirit that sneaks up on you in your car when you're driving to work and you'll be flooded with tears before you get to your job it is the Holy Spirit who has given you all of your gifts every gift on the inside of you was given to you by the Holy Spirit it is the Holy Spirit who engineers movements who engineered 2819 it is the Holy Spirit who takes tissue symbolically and wipes it from your eyes when you're hurting all of your interactions down here it's with the person of the Holy Spirit and because he's at the center of the church you are I am we are the most powerful force on the planet it is only the power of the Holy Spirit and the prayers of the Saints that's keeping back the full force of evil from overtaking mankind it's only the power of the Holy Spirit and the work of the Saints that's keeping back the full force of evil from overwhelming mankind it is the Holy Spirit giving birth to churches and sending out missionaries and doing gospel work through human
beings albeit imperfect they are it is the perfect person of the Holy Spirit inside broken shells of clay repeat it is the perfect person of the Holy Spirit inside broken vessels of clay that makes us strong when we are weak that anoints us for works of service it is the Holy Spirit when we feel fire come into a room you are powerful and I am powerful because of the person of the Holy Spirit it was the Holy Spirit who came after you when you was unsaved convicted you of your sin woo you to the Father on behalf of Jesus unzipped you took out your unrighteousness hopped on the inside of you and zipped you up with his power that's all if he features one it is the Holy Spirit that seals you that make you cry out son daughter all of that is because of the Holy Spirit and it's the Holy Spirit powering over 2 billion people around the world who claim Christ as king over 2 billion. It is the Holy Spirit, even working through good men and around evil men, to make sure that the words of Jesus never fall to the floor, to make sure the words of God never fall to the floor. It is the Holy Spirit ensuring that all of the plans of God will come to pass as he has written them. And we feel him, and we interact with him, and we hear him, and we sense him. He is forever united to the church for this reason. Repeat. There is nothing in the earth, no religion, no company, no entity, nothing in the earth. Don't ever forget that. More powerful. Watch the word. Powerful. Watch the word. Powerful. Watch the word. Powerful. Watch the word. Powerful. We're never without help. There is nothing in the earth more powerful than the church. Not because of sermons or platforms or Instagram followings. The church is powerful because the church is forever united. Watch the word. United. Watch the word. United. Watch the word. United. Because she was not always. How did all this happen? Where did all this start? How did the Holy Spirit get united with the church? How did the Holy Spirit make you and I so powerful? It's right here in our text where Luke records
the most important Sunday after the resurrection of Christ in church history. Luke 2. Acts 2. Verse 1. Verse 1. When the day of Pentecost arrived, and the old King Jimeh says, when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all together in one place. Stop right there. Luke wrote, when the day of Pentecost came, all of the believers were in one place. Now, the Jews had many feasts and festivals that they used to commemorate seasons and important events that happened in the life of their nation. One of the most important festivals they ever celebrated was the Passover. And then 50 days after the Passover, they celebrated another festival called the Feast of Weeks or the Feast of Harvest, which got a new name, the Feast of Pentecost, which means 50 penta, like Pentagon. 1,500 years before Christ's ministry came to earth. The people of God was in Egyptian slavery for 400 years. For 400 years, they cried out to God for deliverance. And near the end of that 400 years, God started speaking to the answer. They're crying out for deliverance. God is talking to the answer. They're crying out for deliverance. God is talking to the answer. They're crying out for help. God is talking to the answer. Because not just because God's not talking, that doesn't mean he's not working on your answer. You say, I feel like God is not hearing me right now. No, maybe he's working on your answer. So they're crying out for deliverance. God is speaking to the answer. And the answer comes in the form of a man named Moses. God calls a man named Moses, sends him down to Egypt to lead over 2 million people free from Egyptian slavery. Through Moses, God overthrows the nation of Egypt with 10 mighty plagues. The last one was the death of every firstborn child. Just tells everybody in the city that night kill a lamb take the blood put it over your door And when the death angel walks through the street, he will see the blood on the door And the death angel will pass over your house The people then are delivered from Egypt the first born of Egypt died They come out of Egypt and then they're led to a place called Sinai a mountain 50 days after they're led to Sinai Moses is on top of a mountain. He comes down with the moral law the Ten Commandments 50 days after the Passover After those 50 days when that 50 date has come that was a celebration of God's provision
His goodness his kindness they celebrated with a gift an offering unto God 50 days after the Passover This is the symbolism and Pentecost It's symbolic and symbolic of God's goodness his favor his mercy his giving his generosity and Passover was celebrated for over a thousand years. It was only a foreshadow of the death of Christ the ultimate lamb During the week of Passover around the year AD 33 the ultimate lamb was killed on a cross That was the final Passover in history Then 50 days later on another Sunday comes the final Pentecost of history This day right here Pentecost Sunday the final Passover the final Pentecost Now notice it says on this Sunday in Pentecost all of the believers were together You remember was a hundred and twenty of them in the upper room and they had been in there for days praying and seeking God's Face men ten days had gone by while there was in that upper room praying That was enough time for them to descend into discord, but they were praying That was enough time for them to descend into other things, but they were praying That was enough time for them to get weary, but they were praying that was enough time for them to be frustrated But they were praying that was enough time for them to have doubt and unbelief about what Jesus said go and wait But they were praying They were in that room praying Going through the scriptures because they believe what Jesus has said He gave them final commandments make disciples be my witness go into the city Wait until you're in do with power from on high So there they are on the day of Pentecost a hundred and twenty of them gathered in the upper room verse 2 and suddenly I There came from heaven a sound Like a mighty rushing wind and it filled the entire house where they were sitting I want to draw your attention to this fact suddenly They said as they were in there praying something happened unexpectedly. They heard a sound I Feel the Spirit of God they in there praying and out of nowhere ten days later. They hear a sound Like a mighty rushing wind. I want to draw your attention to the word mighty
Man it would probably sound like if you've ever heard the winds from a hurricane That sound like a freight train on the outside of a house They're sitting in that room and then they hear wind something like sound it was mighty. It was powerful It probably sounded like a freight train I Said it was like a rushing wind Luke wrote wind is synonymous with God's presence The word wind in Greek means Numa where we get breath from It was God who made a man from a lump of clay and then with with Numa he breathed into him the breath of life It was God working through Ezekiel in a vision who saw dry bones which represents the state of Israel And breathed into them life It was God through the Holy Spirit that breathed into men to write the Holy Spirit So we know that when we see wind it represents God it represents his breath it represents his power and his presence And it said they heard that sound it was like a mighty wind and then watch Suddenly something happened in that room Man this is powerful to me because right here in this text it reminds us that the words of Jesus can be trusted It was Christ who said to them go into the city stay there and a few days You will be baptized with the Holy Spirit and here comes the Holy Spirit Rushing into that room from heaven so we know that the words of Christ can be trusted The words of the scriptures can be trusted But not only that we see the response to Prayer, they were not in there 10 days wasting time. They were in there praying, and we see how God responds supernaturally to prayer. They're in there seeking His face, and then suddenly, man, a sound comes from heaven. It's just a reminder to you when I hear me how God responds to our prayers in supernatural ways. Man, last week in a meeting, it was our director, Danny B., of Global Missions for 2019,
was sharing with us powerful stories we never saw from access when we had that prayer gathering at State Farm Arena, and amongst those testimonies was a brother from some other city who sent a video in, and in his video, he was telling a story on how he was diagnosed with a terminal disease, and the doctors told him he was surely going to die. He catches wind of access in State Farm Arena, books his ticket on a flight, flies to Atlanta, comes to the arena by faith, saying, this will be my last attempt for healing since the doctors can't do anything for me. He gets into the arena. He's sitting in a chair in the bleachers. He's believing God for healing, and he makes a video and sends us the video. He goes back to the doctor, and they are confused. Thank you, God. And now his health insurance is in a jam. They don't know what to do with him now because he's supposed to be dead, but now he's still alive. And we're watching this in the office, shedding tears in the conference room, reminded of how God responds to prayers in supernatural ways. Man, they were in there praying for 10 days. Some of us can't pray for five minutes, and you wonder why God's not moving,
why he's not breathing. Man, we can't even sit still in his presence for five minutes. You have no idea what God would do when you would just be relentless in prayer. You'd be banging on his door like, Lord, it's me again. It's me again. I don't give up that easy. He said, whoever knocks, Lord, it's me again. I'm talking to you about this again. I'm seeking you for this again. I'm praying about this again. And it said that room, something shifted in that room. Watch the word, suddenly. I love that word, suddenly. It reminds me that God can change any circumstance suddenly. He can invade a marriage and change it when he gets a hold of a husband's heart, suddenly. He can repair a broken relationship, suddenly. He can heal a physical body, suddenly. He can lift you from depression, suddenly. You can get a phone call for a brand new job, suddenly. One handshake ushers you into a new season, suddenly. You have no idea the things that God would do in somebody's life, suddenly. It was summer of 2024, my wife and I were gone. When we get phone calls like, Pastor Phillip, something is happening. They're coming back to a different church. Like, what's happening?
People are coming by the tens, hundreds, thousands. We don't know where they're coming from. Something just happened in the church, suddenly. Watch, I wasn't here. So you see, it's not contingent upon a man. The Holy Spirit was stirring something up in 2019. And he started drawing people to the church by the thousands, suddenly. One summer, went from a church of 500 to several thousand in a summer, suddenly, supernatural. Verse three, and divided tongues as a fire appeared to them, oh my God, and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Oh my God, this is so much heat. Man, picture the scene. I'm a pictorial person, so I read the scriptures. I see images in my mind. 120 people in a large room. They don't have no electricity, it's the first century AD. They got candles burning in that room. It's dim. You have some people laid out on the floor praying and some people sitting against the wall praying and some people on their knees praying And some people are walking praying and then suddenly they hear a sound It's shaking the room that they're in and then they see lights start falling from the sky in the room like tongues of fire Coming down from heaven and it just lands on each one of them And then as soon as it lands on them they start speaking and other tongues Fire represents the presence of Almighty God
God led his children in Israel by a pillar of fire God spoke to Moses in a burning bush with fire God in the scriptures is called a consuming fire So fire and wind represents the presence of God not only did the Holy Spirit invade that room with a sound he invaded that room with a visible manifestation He came down upon them like fire Landed on them And as that fire hit them they all started speaking in other tongues Now I just want to draw your attention to this in the text when the Holy Spirit is poured out on the church These 120 who are the embryonic form of the church when the Holy Spirit is poured out and notice the first thing God touches on man their mouth The first thing God touches on man when he comes is their mouth And we know that the mouth is connected to the heart because from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks So we know that the first thing God did the first thing the Holy Spirit touched on the church was their mouths and their heart And what did he do with their mouth? He set their mouths on fire Said but I'm shy he set their mouths on fire. He said but man, I'm a quiet person man. He set their mouths on Fire, which means he also set their hearts on what on fire The Lord did not intend for his church to be lukewarm and dead Don't care about your denomination He'd never intended for the church to be lukewarm and dead The first thing he touched in the church was their mouths The first thing he touched was their heart and he touched it with what with fire And you've been looking at me like I'm radical no, I'm normal No, I'm normal The problem is American Christianity is lukewarm. So when you see people like me you think I'm over-the-top No, I'm not over-the-top. My mouth
Has been set on fire my heart Has been set on fire as anybody's mouth Oh If your mouth has been set on fire give Jesus a praise in this house What we talking about The first thing the Holy Spirit touched Mouth to speak And he touched their mouths with fire It's connected to the heart so he touched their hearts with fire It reminds me of Isaiah 6 when a 20 year old prophet Saw the incarnated Jesus the pre-incarnated Jesus and all of his glory And when he saw the pre-incarnate Christ and all of his glory the first thing he realized that he was a sinner And that his mouth was foul and that his nation was foul and he falls down writhing in sin He does not even say anything to God. God sends an angel with a coal from the altar a burning fire And he smacks Isaiah in his mouth And burns him in his heart so that he cares and Then he speaks and that's what God needs from the church. We're so dead and whack and Compromising he wants us to care a heart full of fire and speak a mouth full of fire So our hearts are burned so we care about the state of our children we care about the state of our marriage we care about the state of the country We care about the state of the church. We care about what's going on social media and we pray and speak He said and they were all filled With the spirit and began to speak in other tongues. Jesus said that when the day of Pentecost come they will be baptized So on this day, we know that they were baptized and filled two separate things They were baptized that in the spirit made them the official church 121 of them joined together as a church They're baptized now as the church and now they are filled with the spirit for works of service
We know they are different because Jesus said to the same disciples earlier received the Holy Spirit So there was already being led by the Spirit now they are filled with the Holy Spirit for the works of making disciples and Watch the baptism one time Being filled by the Spirit happens repeatedly over your Christian life. This is why Paul later on We're right to the church in Ephesus. Don't be drunk with wine. We're in excess not against wine Just don't be stupefied by wine, but he says be what? Filled with the Spirit that is keep being filled up by the Spirit. How do you get filled up by the Spirit prayer? community the scriptures fasting Worship praise Come to 2819 in the gathering and you'll get filled up by the Spirit And go out of those doors to do works of service. The infilling is to serve I'm preaching to you now as I'm filled up by the Spirit. I Started this week and I in a hospital bed. I'm preaching to you now and the power of the Spirit They were singing and the power of the Spirit Frank plays and the power of the Spirit Jonathan plays and that we're being filled up to do works of service We prophesy preach sing Evangelize in the power of the Spirit and watch they started to speak in other watch the word of their tongues The Greek word tongues here languages Washes Galileans who speak Aramaic and Greek get filled with the Spirit they start speaking languages. They did not know They had a miracle of the mind Connected to their mouth they started to it. This would be like the Holy Spirit coming upon me and I start speaking Portuguese Imagine if the Spirit fell in this room and everybody started speaking different languages German French Portuguese You started speaking Creole. You started speaking languages. You never know. It's just pouring out of you a miracle of the mind This tongues is different than the gift of tongues. We see in first Corinthians 14 How do we know that two different words and first Corinthians 14 when we see the gift of tongues? Paul tells that this is a gift for prayer that when we're praying in tongues
Our minds does not understand but our spirit man is edified as when we pray in your tongue You feel something on the inside. Although your mind does not understand what you're saying Which requires a gift of interpretation to understand prayers in tongues, this is not prayers in tongues This is a different the word here in Greek is for languages I Watch why would the Holy Spirit anoint them to speak in different languages on the day of Pentecost on this Sunday? Why would he do that? You think of all the things he could have he could have anointed him to do something else No, he comes upon them touches their mouth touches their heart. They start speaking in other languages Why would the Holy Spirit do that Oh verse 5 now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews devout men from every Nation under heaven. Oh my god It's the feast of Pentecost so that means Jerusalem population has swollen three times the size It's packed with people from every nation on the heaven who don't speak Aramaic and Greek The Holy Spirit comes upon the 120 forms them into the church touches their mouth. They all 120 people speaking multiple languages And as that is happening Jerusalem is packed with devout Jews from every nation on the heaven And as that is happening Jerusalem is packed with devout Jews from every nation on the heaven And at the sound what sound a hundred and twenty people speaking speaking in foreign languages, the multitude came together. Did you see that? A praying church that's unified, submitted to the Scriptures, empowered by the Spirit, attracts a crowd. A praying church submitted to the Scriptures, united in one accord, speaking God's language, attracts a crowd. A praying church, united as one,
submitted to the Scriptures, filled with the Spirit, speaking the wonders of God in multiple languages, attracts a crowd. Not any crowd, an international crowd. It's gonna make sense in a second. This is the day the church was born. Watch the power of the Spirit. 120 people, the first church, they burst into the streets, speaking multiple languages, and what begins to come around them is an international crowd. And at the sound, the multitudes came together, and they were bewildered, they were confused, because each one in the crowd was hearing these 120 speak in his own language. This is insane to me. And they were amazed and astonished, saying, are not these all who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear each one of us in his own native language? Watch, God. Jerusalem is packed with an international crowd. The gospel and the wonders of God must now go out to the whole world. The Lord uses a supernatural gift to catapult the wonders of God to an international crowd. 120 Galileans who speak Aramaic and Greek don't speak the languages of people outside of that room, and yet they're filled with the Spirit,
they burst into the streets of Jerusalem. All 120 are speaking in foreign languages, a crowd gathers, and every person in the crowd hears something in the language they can understand. See, God will go through no, look, he's not short of no lengths to reach people if he really wants to reach them. He will reach a mother, he will reach a father, he reach an unsafe cousin, he reach an unsafe husband. The Lord is not short in his ability to reach people who are far away from him. Amen. Say, man, man, my cousin is a Muslim, my cousin is a Buddhist, my cousin is this. Man, he will never receive the gospel. Really, you gave up that easy? Like the Lord can't give him a dream of Jesus? Like, that's not happening right now in the Middle East? Like, people in the Middle East are not having dreams of Christ? Like, he can't send somebody to knock on their door? Man, the Lord can do anything he want to reach, anybody he want, and that's why you and I saved should never give up on our unsafe family and loved ones. We should be praying for them and believing for them and trusting God to reach them any way possible. Lord, my son out there wild and crazy. This is the mother praying out there. Lord, I pray he get in trouble with the law and you lock him up in prison
and his cellmate be a radical Christian, but he can't escape that Christian. See, you will never pray prayers like that. You want to pray these little soft, little whack prayers, these little bedtime. Lord, just bless him. He wild and crazy, bless him. No, Lord, get him. Lord, arrest him. Lord, go after him. Lord, snatch him. Lord, break him. Lord, hurt him. Do whatever you got to do to save him. Don't got time to be praying, now I lay me down to sleep. Little wax off church, Lord bless him. He full of the devil, bless him. She full of the devil, bless her. Lord, go get her. Take away her job, take away her boyfriend, do whatever you got to do, get her all by herself, bring her to her knee, Lord, go get her. Lord, go get her, go snatch her God, do whatever is necessary so that she does not go to hell. Why you don't pray like that? Don't pray like that. If the Lord could give 120 people a miracle in their mind to speak languages they did not learn. That's like you speaking German in a gathering, you never, if he could do that what can he not do? Those in the crowd, verse 9, Parthians and Medes, Elamites, residents of Mesopotamia,
Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus in Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt and parts of Libya, all throughout Africa and Europe. We hear them, I like this part, listen to the word, we hear them, we hear them telling in our own tongues, our own languages the mighty works of God. We hear them, look at me, look at me man, we hear them, we hear them. We were singing this song before this gathering, I will not be silent. We hear them, you know what the church has right now, too much silence, too much complacency, too complicit, too afraid, too worried about your platform, too worried about offending people, too gripped by approval addiction, too worried about who's going to unfollow you, unlike you. The church too quiet, we won't speak the gospel into social issues, we won't speak the gospel on our social media, we won't speak the gospel to our children, we won't pray, we won't stand up, we won't talk, we won't sing, we hide out in rooms, we have church, we quiet the rest of the week, we quiet the rest of the year, we quiet. No gospel spreading, no evangelism, no praying for my coworkers, no talking to the Uber driver, no using your social media to glorify Jesus, you ain't never post a scripture, ain't never post a song, the least you can do is post for Christ alone. I mean if you're afraid to share my messages, I get it, I'm controversial, the least you can do is post for Christ alone, the least you can do is have some type of voice so people can hear the wonders of God. We silent and the world is suffering at the same time. And all, verse 12, were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, what does this mean? And others mocked and said they are all filled with new wine. They hear the wonders of God in their foreign languages, some are drawn in with curiosity, others are drawn in with mockery, ain't that the same response to the gospel today? We hear the gospel and some people are drawn in with curiosity, they want to know more. Others man, are repelled with mockery, reminds me of a man named Nicodemus, who was a Pharisee, he went to see Jesus at night, it was Nicodemus, Jesus said, for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him will not perish, but have an eternal life.
He didn't say that in a sermon, he said that to one man, a Pharisee named Nicodemus. Nicodemus is curious around Christ. The other Pharisees are jealous and they mock Christ The other Pharisees put Christ on the cross Nicodemus takes his body down from the cross Because when the gospel goes out it's only one or two responses there was curiosity that leads to life and Transformation and there was mockery that will lead to destruction and damnation And there it is in the text See full circle now all that all that heat you had in the beginning all that energy You know what I came from this day right here All that all that all that energy you had in the beginning all that running around the room all that standing on your chair You know what all of that came from this day right here It was on this day right here the Holy Spirit was united to the church It was on this day right here at the day of Pentecost The Holy Spirit was united to believers and because of this day that day of Pentecost The Holy Spirit is at the center of the church empowering the church leading the church guiding the church filling the church Empowering you every single person under the sound of my voice who is saved you have been filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit And if you are saved that means you are powerful if you are saved that means you are gifted if you are saved You are anointed if you are saved your mouth and your heart has already been set on Fire man, you just gotta let it breathe. You gotta let it live. You gotta let it be You gotta stop being ashamed Because the Holy Spirit is in you you are powerful Because the Holy Spirit is in you you have divine help Because the Holy Spirit is in you you can tap heaven because the Holy Spirit is in you you have the limited supply of help and grace and Strength even when you are weak because the Holy Spirit is in you Somebody needs to tell you you ain't normal The scripture says you are angelic a peculiar People you different

You can be old and full of fire.
You can be white and full of fire, and be black and full of fire, and Asian and full of fire, and Hispanic and full of fire. You can be full of fire if you're zipped up with the Holy Spirit. We thank you for the day you came from heaven, baptized us, filling us, empowering us, washing us, helping us, strengthening us, gifting us, lead us, guide us, convict us, order our steps, make us more sensitive to your presence, Holy Spirit. We yield our lives to you, and even in our weakness, we are powerful because of you. Father, we thank you. Lord, we thank you that on the day of Pentecost, you poured out your Spirit, you kept your word, and today we are alive because of that, and we are the most powerful people on the planet because of that. We are people of fire. Our hearts and our minds are on fire. We will not remain silent, all the more we will declare the wonders of the kingdom to a lost and dying world. We will not shut up, and we will not be silent. Breathe on 2819global, breathe on the church, breathe on us, Holy Spirit, and for the one who is dead, revive us right now with a fresh fire, asking the mighty and the majestic and the matchless name of our soon-coming King, the Lord Jesus Christ. Now take the roof off this place and give Jesus praise.
