Pentacost
With Pentecost arriving on May 24th, my intention is to delve deeper into the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Disciples, marking the genesis of the Christian church. Twelve disciples and many others in the room that day felt the Holy Spirit’s fire land on their heads, and they spoke in foreign tongues. The tongues of the other Jews from neighboring countries. This event became a profound moment for the Christian Church. That day ended the 50 days of the Resurrection/Easter season. What did the fire represent? When you accept salvation, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell within you. During the time of Jesus Christ, this spiritual awakening did not occur upon acceptance. Instead, a dramatic event manifested the Holy Spirit as it descended upon the disciples as tongues of fire, resting upon each of them at that precise moment. This powerful moment marked their readiness to go forth and share the message of Jesus with others. The Holy Spirit did not restrict Himself to the Jewish people but passed it to the Gentiles. The religious groups we know today grew out of the twelve Jewish disciples of Jesus Christ, our coming King. Hurry and proclaim the wonderful tidings of Yeshua/Jesus, for time will not pause for our deliberation.
Book Excerpt
Looking Through the Sea of Glass
The fire represents purification and devotion to God. Everyone must be ready to be tested, during your life for Messiah Yeshua, at any cost - even unto death if necessary. If you do die for God, you might be “absent from the body but present with Yeshua” for all of eternity. “4Fire represents mesirut nefesh which means, “self-sacrifice” in Hebrew. Should we not sacrifice our lives daily to Jesus? He is our Creator and He died for our horrendous sins because He loved us so much. Messiah Yeshua laid down His earthly body as the slaughtered lamb and went through the fire; which is the total devotion to Adonai His father for our sake. Without this, self-sacrifice, we would be doomed to Hell and never to come before the face of Adonai.
Our sin in the Garden of Eden was the most dreadful act of disobedience that has ever been recorded and executed in all of eternity. “5Since we know that Messiah Yeshua was “at the beginning with God” and is Himself God (John 1:1-2), the “Head of the House of Creation”, He is none other than Yeshua the Mashiach (the Messiah) (Hebrew 3:4). This is further confirmed by the verse from Genesis 1:1 alongside the verse from John 1:1.”
