Today is a special day for those of Faith, in one denomination.
It’s Pentecost Sunday.
What it means:
When Christ knew his fate, and His final days were approaching fast, He was explaining some final advice to His Apostles.
Soon I will no longer be with you. But, in my absence, I will send you a helper. The paraclete, an Advocate,
who will guide you.
Pentecost
From the old, Middle East < Latin pentecoste < Greek pentekosta
def. 2.
A Christian festival (a holy day; a special occasion / celebration)
on the seventh Sunday after Easter, celebrating the descent of the Holy Spirit
upon the Apostles.
It’s the 3rd part / essence of the Trinity: God the Father, His only Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The givers of Life.
Read John 15: 26-27.
Also the 2nd chapter of Acts for further study.
Afterwards, contemplate:
What comes like the wind? A soft breeze?
Thoughts. Where do they come from?
It depends on what stimuli we choose to invite into our brains.
If one is aligned with the gift of the Holy Spirit, believers receive:
Hunches and instinctive ideas, on how to think, speak, or act on behalf of our Lord,
in any given situation.
Christ advised to go away to a quiet place, and reflect for a while. Seek first His kingdom.
Mornings, before we start our day are a good time to do this. Meditate.
I’ll leave you with a final prayer. Out loud, or in peaceful silence:
“Come to me, Holy Spirit. I welcome you, with open arms, open mind, eyes, and ears,
with gratitude for your guidance. Influence my thoughts, my words and actions,
in full support of the Father’s will, as His faithful and trusted servant. Thank You. I’m grateful.”
Then smile.
You are chosen, because you have chosen to believe, and act is ways unlike others in this fallen world,
which He is not a part of.
Seek Him.
Find Him.
And then, rejoice in the Peace He promised.
You’re welcome.
If you walk in grace He will find you, for you can never come to Jesus except through His Father.
