Pentecost is a Christian holiday that commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles, following the crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. The word “Pentecost” comes from the Greek word pentekoste, which means “fiftieth”. The holiday is celebrated on the seventh Sunday after Easter, which is 50 days after Easter. Because the date depends on the date of Easter, Pentecost is a moveable feast.

This is a day of celebration commemorating the promise Jesus gave regarding the comforter (Holy Ghost). Acts 2:1-4, “And when the day of Pentecost was 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 all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”

The dispensation of grace and truth was ushered in. Peter preached the message regarding the plan of salvation (Acts2:38). The Holy Ghost dwelling on the inside of his people. The temple veil was rent and we can now come boldly to God for ourselves. We have a personal relationship with God – a spiritual walk where the foundation is based on the word of God, Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone.

A faith walk, where we must endure to the end. He that endures to the end shall be saved (Matthew 23:13).

Celebrate and Partake.

We give praise to God for this awesome gift. We appreciate his great sacrifice, ultimate show of love, and triumphant resurrection that was accomplished at Calvary’s Cross. The tomb that Joseph of Arimathea provided is called a borrowed tomb because Jesus only needed it for a short while. He arose on the 3rd day, which is the true purpose of Easter. It is because of his resurrection and ascension back up to glory facilitated the release of the comforter or Holy Ghost fall to earth.

This awesome miracle occurred on Pentecost day.

How do we partake? We follow the instructions that Peter gave as he preached to all those who witnessed, Acts 2-15-16, “For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;”

The Holy Ghost is essential to make it in the world today. It is not optional for the believer. It is that same getting up power to help us become and stay rapture ready.

If you are not already a member of a church ministry that is biblically sound and based. I encourage you to locate one and join yourself to it. A ministry which preaches and teaches the doctrine of Jesus Christ – the way, the truth, and the light. Salvation is our goal. Then we walk by faith according the Word of God. We strive to endure to the end.

What a blessed life it is. Happy Pentecost Sunday!
