The Wind is Blowing, Pt 3

Series: Experience the Spirit 5/5/12 When the wind is blowing, it makes its presence felt: you hear its sound. When the Spirit of God stirs up a church or an individual or a community, there are palpable evidences of His working. Even the unbeliever becomes aware that something is happening. In Acts 2:5-6, thousands of unbelievers gathered.  They too had heard this sound.  When the Holy Spirit comes the effects can be seen. The sound can be heard.  After the Spirit blew upon the 120 in the upper room, even the hard hearted self-righteous religious leaders took note of them, that they had been with Jesus (Acts 4:13). They saw something different. And the sin darkened pagan world of Greece and Rome identified them as those who turned the world upside down (acts 17:6). When our life is moved upon by the Wind of the Spirit, God does in and through us what would otherwise be impossible, and he makes our witness effective in the world.   As we look at the wind in nature it helps us to see what God can do in and through us by His Spirit.
