Author: Sis. Joy Greer

“The Finished Work and the Power of the Spirit”
Scripture: 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.”

Devotion:
The Day of Pentecost was a day to remember. The disciples had witnessed the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. It also reminds us that the finished work of Christ does not mean the end of God's work in us—it is the foundation for the Spirit's work through us. Jesus told the disciples to wait for the promise of the Father - the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit came, everything changed. They were empowered for purpose.

Today, remember the finished work and the power of the Holy Spirit. God never intended for us to walk this walk alone - which is why He sent the Comforter! Remember, you don’t have to depend on your own ability. The Holy Spirit has been given to help, guide, strengthen, teach, and empower you.

The work is finished. The promise has been given. The Spirit has come. Now walk in His power.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the finished work and the gift of the Holy Spirit. Thank You that I have a guide, a Comforter to help me live out the purpose You have set before me. Help me to continue to let the Holy Spirit lead and remove anything that hinders Your work. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
