I know I owe you the rest of last Bible. I know I owe you the rest of last time I time I time I ministered. I'm going to finish it.

ministered. I'm going to finish it. ministered. I'm going to finish it. Don't worry. So the worry. So the theme for today is Pentecost Sunday. theme for today is Pentecost Sunday. theme for today is Pentecost Sunday. It's not just an event. is a divine It's not just an event. is a divine It's not just an event. is a divine unveiling of God's indwelling presence, unveiling of God's indwelling presence, unveiling of God's indwelling presence, empowering mission and unifying purpose empowering mission and unifying purpose empowering mission and unifying purpose for the for the for the church. So, Acts chapter 2 verse 1 in church. So, Acts chapter 2 verse 1 in church. So, Acts chapter 2 verse 1 in the Amplified Bible says, "And when the the Amplified Bible says, "And when the the Amplified Bible says, "And when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they day of Pentecost had fully come, they day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all assembled together in one place were all assembled together in one place were all assembled together in one place when suddenly there came a sound from when suddenly there came a sound from when suddenly there came a sound from heaven like a rushing wind." So there heaven like a rushing wind." So there heaven like a rushing wind." So there was a sound and the was a sound and the was a sound and the wind of a violent tempest blast and it wind of a violent tempest blast and it wind of a violent tempest blast and it filled the whole house in which they filled the whole house in which they filled the whole house in which they were were were sitting. And there appeared to them sitting. And there appeared to them sitting. And there appeared to them tongues resembling fire which was tongues resembling fire which was tongues resembling fire which was separated and separated and separated and distributed and which settled on each distributed and which settled on each distributed and which settled on each one of them. And they were all filled one of them. And they were all filled one of them. And they were all filled the fused throughout the their soul. It the fused throughout the their soul. It the fused throughout the their soul. It spread. It wasn't just a a fire that sat spread. It wasn't just a a fire that sat spread. It wasn't just a a fire that sat on their their their head, but it was on their their their head, but it was on their their their head, but it was infused, diffused in the body of their infused, diffused in the body of their infused, diffused in the body of their soul. Their whole being became filled soul. Their whole being became filled soul. Their whole being became filled with the Holy Spirit. Something with the Holy Spirit. Something with the Holy Spirit. Something different than has ever happened before.

different than has ever happened before. different than has ever happened before. So, this was a precedent So, this was a precedent So, this was a precedent example of what God was example of what God was example of what God was doing with the Holy Spirit and began to doing with the Holy Spirit and began to doing with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other different foreign speak in other different foreign speak in other different foreign languages, languages, languages, tongues. As the spirit kept living, tongues. As the spirit kept living, tongues. As the spirit kept living, giving them clear and loud expression in giving them clear and loud expression in giving them clear and loud expression in which in each tongue and appropriate tongue and appropriate words every man and woman heard in their words every man and woman heard in their words every man and woman heard in their own own own language. So number one, number one and language. So number one, number one and language. So number one, number one and then we get out of this heat. Pentecost is the fulfillment of a heat. Pentecost is the fulfillment of a promise. Pentecost is a fulfillment of a promise. Pentecost is a fulfillment of a promise. That's why I love in Joel uh chapter 2 That's why I love in Joel uh chapter 2 That's why I love in Joel uh chapter 2 vers 20 he says, "And it shall come to vers 20 he says, "And it shall come to vers 20 he says, "And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out my pass afterward that I will pour out my pass afterward that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh." Say all flesh. All spirit on all flesh." Say all flesh. All spirit on all flesh." Say all flesh. All flesh.

So Pentecost is not just So Pentecost is not just spontaneous. It is prophetic spontaneous. It is prophetic spontaneous. It is prophetic fulfillment. The spirit was promised by fulfillment. The spirit was promised by fulfillment.
