The beginning of the Christian Church took place on the Day of Pentecost. It would have been interesting to have been there.
The winds blew loudly all around. Tongues of flame danced without a sound. The gibberish speaking in many a tongue was like new songs first being sung. Was it an eagle, no it was a dove that slowly entered from above. Nothing like this had happened before, a church service that wouldn’t bore. Peter stood up and saw the crowd and gave a message clear and loud. “We aren’t drunk like it might seem. We have power from the Spirit’s stream.” People there from all around began to smile where they all had frowned. The church that on that day had its birth started spreading ‘round the earth. Pentecost is not just one day a year. It live in all who have ears to hear the Spirit which had seemed to hide will always in our hearts abide.

Amen! A beautiful addition to describe the events as they were with the outcome still remaining true to God and Jesus where it all began....

Amen my friend! The day of Pentecost, like a mighty rushing wind! Fire from Heaven...I've heard it described in different ways over the years...your poem is a wonderful addition indeed! It's that spirit that lives within us that gives us the strength to overcome the enemy, strength to go another mile when we are weary, and wisdom we need to understand this world we live in today. That same spirit also gives us a desire to make it home to Heaven...I do believe that the bible also says that same spirit will raise us up on that great judgement day! I for one want to keep that spirit alive and dwelling within me, for surely I wont the make when my name is called! A very inspiring write indeed! Enjoyed!
Blessings,
Joyce B.
