Verses 1-6, 42-44  When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.

5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 

42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.

Why It Jumped Out? 

They were physically together. 

Many church going Believers have experienced powerful moves of God while at church. We are all witnesses and have benefitted from certain “services” where God healed, intensely visited, consumed and spiritually enriched the environment with His Presence or pouring out of His Spirit. We all have tasted God’s goodness in different ways during certain in-church gathering experiences. 

How this changes my life

  • Currently, many people are opting to participate in remote participation because it’s much simpler to hear the message and touch base online. But this Scripture reminds me of the importance and value we have when we actually meet in person, agree in His Name, and worship Him in Spirit in Truth, corporately. 

Because, on line, I wonder, if we will experience the same revealing of God’s glory, power and Presence as we have when we go to the House of God. I am valuing the times I have had in the House of the Lord. Im Thankful that my house is the House of God. 

Prayer

  • Father, thank you for your Holy Word. May Your Power, Presence and manifold blessings continue to be present, continue to be revealed, continued to be granted to us and people who desire You, even though they don’t go to church. I pray that you would supernaturally draw people to the House of God through online ministry, ultimately, drawing people to you, personally.  

In Jesus Name, Amen.
