​
“And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath,
from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering:
seven Sabbaths shall be completed.
Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath;
then you shall offer a new grain offering to the LORD.”
(Leviticus 23:15-16 NKJV)
“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come,
they were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven,
as of a rushing mighty wind,
and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
Then there appeared to them divided tongues,
as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit
and began to speak with other tongues,
as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
(Acts 2:1-4 NKJV)
Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.
(Acts 2:41 NKJV)
What does this mean for us?

Wait on the Spirit
-
Be filled continually
-
Witness in power

Make room for the unpredictable
18. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19. speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
(Ephesians 5:18-19 NKJV)
The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
(John 3:8 NKJV)
