Ain't No Party Like A Holy Ghost Party (Acts 2:1-4 KJV)1And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.2?And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.3?And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.4?And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Here's a serious spiritual question for the non-believers and believers amongst us. How do you know if you are Holy Ghost filled? On the other hand to drive the point home—what proof can you give someone with curiosity that the Holy Ghost has made its dwelling place in your heart?I must serve you notice that the Holy Ghost is not something physical like the heart, kidney, or lung which is something that you can point to and say, "There it is! Do you see it?" In fact none of us have the supernatural ability to see it. Nobody can weigh it because it's the heavy wait champion of the Christian faith—and none of us can measure it because He's too wide to go around, too low to stoop under, and to high to climb over. Today's Scripture reading describes for us the pouring out of the Spirit on the day of Pentecost. We cannot duplicate the events of Pentecost.?We cannot go to Jerusalem, enter the upper room and wait to be filled with the Spirit. The Holy Ghost has already come, and baptized every person who is saved. Pentecost was a very special day for believers during the days of the early church. In the Old Testament Pentecost was one of the three main religious feasts on the Jewish calendar (Leviticus 23). But in the New Testament, Pentecost is associated with the coming of the Holy Ghost which begins the work of preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It reminds us that nearly 2000 years ago the Holy Ghost made His temple on earth. Nevertheless, the Holy Ghost is spirit, and not flesh and blood. No one back then could see the Spirit. No one could purchase it. And again no one could measure it. However, what we do know is that the early church was filled with the Holy Ghost? The early church knew how to get the party started. But! exactly what type of party? It was a Holy Ghost Party.Here a definition of the word Party: A party is a gathering of people who have been invited by a host for the purposes of socializing, conversation, and recreation. A party will typically feature food and beverages, and often music and dancing as well. Some parties are held in honor of a specific person, day, or event. In fact there are all types of parties. There's the welcome party, birthday party, surprise party, dinner party, tea party, housewarming party, block party, farewell party, pre-party and finally there's the after-party. But! You never hear of people talking about a Holy Ghost Party! Which is a BYOB Affair (Bring Your Own Bible).The Planning Of The Main Attraction:(Acts 2:1 KJV)And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.The when, where and who is given to us at the start of this chapter concerning the arrival of the Holy Spirit. First, we see the when. "When the day of Pentecost was fully come." Pentecost was an Old Testament observance which came fifty days after the resurrection Sunday and therefore ten days after the ascension of Christ. The Holy Spirit came down as promised by Jesus who planned this grand occasion. Jesus informed his Disciples that He is preparing for his departure and he will send back the Holy Ghost.(John 14:26 KJV)But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. ................
