NEVER THE SAME=PENTECOST!




















NEVER THE SAME=PENTECOST


Once the SPIRIT comes=
We will NEVER
Be the SAME=And the Spirit of God=
The Spirit of Jesus
Is UPON us today


Just as it was
On the APOSTLES=some
Two thousand years ago


“And there came
From the SKY
A noise
Like a STRONG driving wind


And it FILLED the
Entire house
In which they were” Acts 2:2


The apostles were LIVING SCARED=
Cautious lives after
Jesus ascended


They had
RETURNED to Jerusalem
And were living CAREFUL-cautious lives
In the UPPER ROOM


But after the SPIRIT came today
They were NO longer afraid
As we are no longer afraid
To LIVE our our CHRISTIAN LIVES


They were=we are=APOSTLES
Let the SPIRIT COME


NEVER THE SAME=PENTECOST!














“Teach me
To do your will
For you are MY GOD


Lead me=on level ground” Psalm 143:10


“.........till the SPIRIT
Is POURED on us
From on high


And the desert
BECOMES a fertile field


And the fertile field
Seems like a FOREST” Isaiah 32:15


“If you then
Though you are evil


Knew HOW=to give good gifts
To your children
How much MORE
Will your Father in heaven


Give the HOLY SPIRIT
To those who ask him” Luke 11:13


BE BOLD=ask for the
HOLY SPIRIT=like the apostles
Of yesteryear


Once we RECEIVE the Spirit
We are=NEVER THE SAME
We are DISCIPLES of
The Lord=after PENTECOST!


We are encouraged! We are BOLD!


After Pentecost=the apostles
Were CAUTIOUS no more
They were=NEVER the same


NEITHER should we be
They had a MISSION!
We have a mission=
To SHARE the good news
Of the LORD!


“Now if we are CHILDREN
Then we are HEIRS--------
Heirs of God


And co-heirs of Christ
If indeed=we SHARE
In his suffering


In order that we
May also=SHARE
In his GLORY” Romans 8:17


COME HOLY SPIRIT!
Settle in our HEARTS


So that we are and
NEVER WILL BE THE SAME
After Pentecost!


In the names of Jesus=his most DIVINE
FATHER and the SPIRIT OF GOD=AMEN!
