You just celebrated Pentecost. The giving of the law at Mt. Sinai is celebrated by many Jewish Temples and synagogues on this day. Pentecost is also celebrated as the birth of the church when the Holy Spirit came in power upon My disciples.
I had just ascended to heaven, and even though there was sadness because My followers would not see Me again until I returned, they continued in one accord and met together for prayer and supplication with My mother and brethren.
They were praying together when suddenly My Spirit appeared as tongues of fire upon each one gathered. On that day they were empowered by My Spirit to take the gospel of My kingdom to the world. Whenever you gather for prayer and are of one accord, My Spirit will empower you also to witness to the world.
ACTS 1:14; 2:1
