THIS SUNDAY IS PENTECOST SUNDAY! 

-It’s been 50 days since RESURRECTION SUNDAY. 

-It’s been 10 days since ASCENSION DAY. (The day Christ returned to heaven and promising to come again.)

 

It was on PENTECOST that THE DISCIPLES WERE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST. 

JOHN the BAPTIST proclaimed, “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.”

JESUS said, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”  (John 3:5,6)

JESUS invited those who were thirsting for more, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.³⁸ He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.³⁹ (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) (John 7:37-39)

JESUS promised,  “I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;¹⁷ Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. (John 14:16,17)

JESUS breathed on his disciples and said, “RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST!” (John 20:22)

 

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS SO ESSENTIAL TO SALVATION THAT THE BIBLE PLAINLY SAYS, “IF ANY MAN HAS NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS!” (Romans 8:9)
