It is Pentecost – the Church’s Birthday – POWERFULLY PLANNED.

But what does Pentecost cost? 

Pentecost cost Jesus His Life on Earth. The Prince of the Kingdom of Heaven defeating the Prince of the World.

Pentecost cost the time of the disciples to give of their whole lives after. (and us too) it’s not PentecoAst but cost…

Pentecost cost but did not diminish the love of God to continue to Love always – and God freely gave that – and still does.

Pentecost costs nothing to us – but yes of our time and our dedication and our everything our all. So Pentecost costs us of us but paid by God.

Pentecost costs everything to the Lord – because His cost is our gain.

Pentecost is not a bargain – nor a freebie – not a pricey commodity nor a loss of capital.

Pentecost is the Holy Spirit pursuing the path and plan of God – by partaking in the push of the purpose of peace – given to people for perpetuity.

Pentecost takes Jesus, the Passover Lamb slain in Sacrifice, to become what is Passed out for POWER in POWER to Pursue People.

Pentecost is now our Possibility to Portray WHAT Participitory Praise will do for us – HOW Positioned we need to be – WHOM we need to Petition – and WHERE Peace will come from.

Pentecost puts the WHY into our WALK.

Jesus said – let the Holy Spirit help – guide to go – and push out FIRST the praise.

Jesus, the Promise, Promised to Help – to Holy Spirit our Path.

Our perception is that Pentecost is Priceless – Pentecost costs us to Partake in Jesus’s Plan.

Amen

Acts 1:3-5 After his suffering, Jesus presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” 

Acts 2:1-8 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language?“

John 16:6-20

“I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you, but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things. But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because people do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. – “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.” – The Disciples’ Grief Will Turn to Joy – Jesus went on to say, “In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.” – At this, some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?” They kept asking, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what he is saying.” – Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, “Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me’? Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.”

John 6:35 – 40 NKJV And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
