Let’s accept the Holy Spirit in our heart

2

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." [Acts 1:8]

3

Jesus had risen from the dead in three days.

While Jesus was living on the earth, Jesus promised that he would rise again in three days. He had done as he promised.

4

For forty days, Jesus met the disciples and many people.

Jesus said to them that they would do great things in the future.

"You go all around the world.

And make the disciples who will do greater things than I."

5

The disciples were worried about doing great things without Jesus.

Jesus promised the fearful disciples.

6

"I will go to Father in heaven again. Do not be afraid.

I will send the Holy Spirit who will help you instead of me."

7

And Jesus went up to heaven while the disciples were watching.

They were scared because they had to preach the gospel without Jesus' help.

8

Yet, they decided to believe what Jesus promised and wait.

Before Jesus left the disciples,

Jesus said to them tat he would send the Holy Spirit to cover for Jesus. So they had believed the promise and been waiting together.

9

About 120 people gathered up to pray everyday.

They had been waiting for the appointed one by Jesus on the earth.

It became one, two, three ... then ten days.

10

As usual, they gathered up to pray and suddenly it happened.

A sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven.

It filled the whole house where they were sitting.

11

A vision that looked like the tongues of fire appeared before the people.

The fire separated and came down to each of them.

It was incredible and awesome.

12

The appointed one by Jesus really came there.

The one was the Holy Spirit.

The people could experience the Holy Spirit for themselves.

13

They began to preach Jesus to the people.

After the Holy Spirit coming to them, they changed from scared people to courage people.

14

Amazed, when they said something to foreign people,

foreigners could understand it in their own languages.

When Peter was speaking in his own language and a crowd came together, each one heard him speaking in his own languages.

15

The Holy Spirit helped the disciples preach the gospel to the people.

Peter spoke God's words through the Holy Spirit.

It was a miracle that 3000 people turned to believe Jesus that day.

16

 The Holy Spirit gives positive help to those who believe in Jesus do things That God is pleased with as well. The Holy Spirit helps people who are not good at preaching the gospel to be good at it. The Holy Spirit helps people who are not good at praying to be good at praying. And when we are weak of our faith, the Holy Spirit makes us strong.

17

Even though the Holy Spirit is good but if we do not accept the Holy Spirit, He will not be with us. If we obey God's words, whenever we require the Holy Spirit he will come and help us.

The Holy Spirit is always pleased to be with us.

18

Think about what does God likes for us to do? Please read the Bible and pray. Try to preach the gospel and the Holy Spirit will be with you everyday. I hope that the Holy Spirit is always with every friend who listens to God's words today.
