WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT?

• The Lord Jesus Christ promised the disciples something before He ascended into heaven. • He promised that He would send them the Holy Spirit and told them to stay in Jerusalem until then • They did stay in Jerusalem as Jesus Christ had told them and always prayed together.

• The Virgin Mary was also with them. • One day, when they were praying with Virgin Mary, suddenly, a sound of a rushing wind came and filled the house they were in. • A divided flame of fire appeared to them, and was upon each of them. But it didn’t burn them. Isn’t that amazing? That was the Holy Spirit coming upon them, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.

• You know what happened then? They were able to speak the language of every country! Isn't that wonderful? How many languages can you speak? The disciples were, however, able to speak seventy two languages. Isn’t that great? • So, they went out and started teaching the people. Because they taught everyone in their own language, the people were amazed.

• They taught the people about the Lord Jesus Christ. Three thousand people believed in the Lord Jesus Christ that same day and were baptized.
