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.
• “The Spirit of God was hovering over the
waters” (Genesis 1:2). He is the first
person of the godhead to be spoken of.
• The Holy Spirit anointed people in the
O.T and we frequently read about His
activity. He prophesied through
prophets, anointed people for service like
the judges and kings, and dealt with
people’s hearts in loving conviction.
• A. The Holy Spirit of God conceived
Jesus in the womb of Mary (Luke 1:35).
• B. He was present descending upon Jesus
bodily as a dove at His baptism (Luke
3:22).
• C. The Spirit anointed Jesus preaching
ministry (Luke 4:16), and gave Him
supernatural power to perform signs and
wonders (Matthew 12:28)..
• D. After His resurrection, Jesus
promised His disciples, “You will receive
power when the Holy Spirit comes upon
you; and you will be my witnesses in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8).
• E. Jesus kept His promise on the Day of
Pentecost, as God poured out the Holy
Spirit upon the 120 believers waiting in
Jerusalem (Acts 2:1-4). (NOTE: 120)
• F. The rest of Acts and the Epistles
record the purposeful work of the Holy
Spirit in the church and in missions.
• Primary Focus and consistent
operation.
• Following the Baptism of the Holy
Spirit at Pentecost, Peter preached
about “Jesus of Nazareth.” (Acts 2:2241).
“When the Advocate comes,
whom I will send to you from the
Father—the Spirit of truth who
goes out from the Father—he will
testify about me.”
“He (the Holy Spirit) will
bring glory to me by taking
from what is mine and
making it known to you.”
“When he comes, he will prove the world
to be in the wrong about sin and
righteousness and judgment: about sin,
because people do not believe in me;
about righteousness, because I am going
to the Father, where you can see me no
longer; and about judgment, because the
prince of this world now stands
condemned.”
“Very truly I tell you, no one
can enter the kingdom of God
unless they are born of water
and the Spirit”
“Don’t you know that you
yourselves are God’s temple
and that God’s Spirit dwells in
your midst?” (1 Corinthians
3:16).
“When you believed, you were
marked in him with a seal, the
promised Holy Spirit, who is a
deposit guaranteeing our
inheritance until the
redemption of those who are
God’s possession”
“Do not grieve the Holy Spirit
of God, with whom you were
sealed for the day of
redemption.”
“God is spirit, and his
worshipers must worship
in the Spirit and in truth.”
“be filled with the Spirit”
and to worship by
“speaking to one another
with psalms, hymns, and
songs from the Spirit.”
“Pray in the Spirit on all
occasions with all kinds of
prayers and requests.”
“Do not leave Jerusalem, but
wait for the gift my Father
promised. . . . You will receive
power when the Holy Spirit
comes on you; and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all
Judea and Samaria, and to the
ends of the earth”
“All scripture is Godbreathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking,
correcting and training in
righteousness”
“And if the Spirit of him who
raised Jesus from the dead is
living in you, he who raised
Christ from the dead will also
give life to your mortal bodies
because of his Spirit who lives
in you”.
