The Day That Changed History
“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.” (Acts 2:1-4)
Today’s Morsel: On June 6, 1944, Allied Forces stormed the beaches of Normandy France to liberate Western Europe from Nazi Germany control. Code name ‘Overload’, due to the massive forces, the invasion became known as D-Day. The day the order was given for the invasion. For many days in the southern states, blacks were required to give up their seats and move to the back of the bus when a white person entered the bus and needed a seat. But on December 1, 1955, in Montgomery Alabama, Rosa Parks, a black woman, refused to give up her seat, setting off the Montgomery bus boycott. On November 13, 1956, the Supreme Court ruled that bus segregation was unconstitutional; the boycott ended December 20, 1956, a day after the Court’s written order arrived in Montgomery. Parks, who had lost her job and experienced harassment all year, became known as “the mother of the civil rights movement.” It was a day that change history. In the spring of the year AD 30, fifty days after the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, He had told His disciples to tarry in Jerusalem until they be endued with power from on high. Luke states: “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.” (Acts 2:1-4) This was a day that changed the history of the church. And now, everyone that is filled with His Spirit, the same way as the disciples were, is not only making history, but they are also changing history. Will your name be written in the History book of life?
Sing: I’ve got the Holy Ghost down in my soul, just like the Bible said. I’ve got the Holy Ghost down in my soul, just like the Bible said. Well I’ve been to the water and I’ve been baptized in Jesus Name, my soul got happy and I’m satisfied, I wouldn’t take nothing for my journey now, just like the Bible, just like the Bible, just like the Bible said.
