Acts 2:1-13

The Holy Spirit is rarely mentioned in the Bible and this is one of the few places where it shows up. In this passage, the holy spirit comes into the house as "a violent wind" and "tongues of fire". Our God is strong enough and powerful for us to communicate in this way. I remember the last time I read about strong winds and fire was in Elijah when Elijah fled from the Lord. Elijah was surrounded by a strong wind, fire, and other natural phenomena but God was not in any of those things. God came to Elijah as a gentle whisper.

God can be loud and bold in His commands and presence. He can also be subtle and gentle. Either way, our job is to listen and to be obedient.
