Pentecost Sunday: When The Spirit of God Leads
It’s Pentecost Sunday! The Spirit of God has descended upon His people. Luke is introducing the expanding gospel ministry of the Holy Spirit as the gospel is beginning to spread in the book of Acts. The Spirit of God is still on the move.
When you are sure it is the Spirit of God is knocking at your door, do not behave as if you did not hear. He calls you to obey and follow His movements, as He leads you into communion with God. Though none go with me, still I will follow.
Obey Him Quickly: delay is a temporary unthankful refusal and a kind of denial.
Obey Him Thoroughly: half-obedience is disobedience. Do not put Him off as Ananias did in only giving half of what is required.
Obey Him Constantly: not just sometimes and more frequently neglecting Him.
Pray, meditate, hear, read, do your best , and expect His blessing.
St Augustine’s Prayer - Breathe in me O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. Amen.
