When the
day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a
sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole
house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be
tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them
were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as
the Spirit enabled them. Acts 2:1-4
At Pentecost, after the Holy Spirit swooped down into their
lives, the people spoke in other languages or tongues from many nations. Individuals not fluent in those languages
suddenly spoke those languages. It
seemed to give the people an open door to go take the word of God to all these
places. These places were in the Middle
East, but also Africa and Asia (verses 8-11).
The theme of the moment said “Go and tell others!”
