Pentecost

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.

There are three things that will bring the Holy Spirit into your life.

1.      Waiting on the Lord.  (Acts 1:4)

2.     Walking in unity.  Acts 2:1 & Eph 4:3)

3.     Passion.  They waited for ten days. You must want to be filled with the Holy Spirit.  Eph 5:18

4.     Here is what you must do?

a.     Want to be filled.
b.     Seek to be filled.  Be desperate.  They that hunger and thirst after righteousness will be filled.  Matt 5:6
c.      Get rid of all things that will hinder the infilling.  Ingratitude, unforgiveness, pouting, hatred, greed, bitterness, hurt, mocking and scowling
d.     Yield to Christ the giver of the Holy Spirit.  Jesus must be Lord.

e.     Seek it, pursue it.  You have not because you ask not.  James 4:2  Do not give up until you have His infilling.
