Wed.’s Devo - The Feast of Pentecost Fulfilled

Read: 2 Sam. 22:21-23:23, Acts 2:1-47, Ps. 122:1-9, Pr. 16:19-20 In Acts we are seeing the fulfillment of the Feast of Pentecost. Every feast will have literal fulfillments on its date. This was a big one. Jesus had died on Passover, was buried on Unleavened Bread, rose of First Fruits and sent His Holy Spirit on Pentecost. People are still living all of these fulfillments when they get saved, die of their sins, live for Jesus and get filled with the Holy Spirit. One of the signs of Pentecost was that the disciples had flames of fire on their heads and they spoke different languages. All of these still happen. The fire is the same fire that was on the mountain of Sinai when God gave his law. That was the first Pentecost. The mountain represented God and the fire was His presence. Now the mountain is God’s people. The Holy Spirit was given to give the people the same power Jesus had when He walked on the earth. The law ended up killing 3,000 people where the Spirit ended up saving 3,000 people. We can still experience this and be filled with the Holy Spirit and speak a new language. Tongues are a powerful tool because it is a language of the spirit that we can’t understand. It allows us to pray things we don’t know need to be prayed. It is the perfect prayer according to God’s will and not ours. When Peter stood and preached to the people he explained a Psalms that was given to David but was fulfilled in Jesus. David’s song he sang to the people starting in yesterday’s passage was also a Messianic Psalms. I have come to believe that it was what happened on the cross when darkness was over the land for three hours. I don’t have time to explain it so ask the Holy Spirit to show you. Lord, your Word amazes me. It helps me to understand even greater that You have our lives planned from the beginning and it is our joy to walk in Your ways.
