This week is the Pentecost Sunday. As I have been reading Acts from the New testament, I could feel how powerful and real the Holy Spirit is. I believe that the Holy Spirit still is powerful and real. I do desire to have that experience like early churches. I have been praying that we all get to have an experience of the Holy Spirit filling us during our services. As I shared with the choir last night, we, ourselves, have fear or are afraid of having real experience of the Holy Spirit. Amazingly, the Holy Spirit never forces people to accept Him, so it does not happen when people are afraid of. Let's open our hearts and mind to accept the Holy Spirit.
Here is the text of our anthem, "come, Holy Spirit."
1. The Holy Spirit came at Pentecost, He came in mighty fulness then; His witness thru believers won the lost, And multitudes were born again. The early Christians scattered o'er the world, they preached the gospel fearlessly; those some were martyred and to lions hurled, they marched along in victory!
Refrain:
Come Holy Spirit, dark is the hour. We need Your filling, Your love and Your mighty power; Move now among us, stir us we pray, come Holy Spirit, revive the church today!
2. Then in an age when darkness gripped the earth, "The just shall live by faith" was learned the Holy Spirit gave the Church new birth as reformation fires burned. In later years the great revivals came, when saints would seek the Lord and pray; O once a again we need that Holy flame to meet the challenge of today!
