There are moments in scripture when heaven speaks not only through words, but through wind, fire, and the unmistakable movement of the Spirit.

 

In 1 Kings 19, Elijah stands on the mountain. A mighty wind tears through the rocks, an earthquake shakes the ground, fire flashes across the sky. But God is not in any of them. Then—a still, small voice. The whisper of God.

 

Yet in Acts 2, the pattern shifts. The Spirit comes in the sound of a violent wind, and tongues of fire settle on each one gathered. The whisper of 1 Kings becomes the roar of heaven’s breath.

 

This is Pentecost.

 

The Church wasn’t born in silence. It was born in power.

 

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you…”
– Acts 1:8

 

The Greek word here is DUNAMIS—explosive, miraculous, heaven-sent power. But it doesn’t stop there.

 

In Ephesians 6:10, Paul urges us to be strong in the Lord and in the power (KRATOS) of His might (ISCHUOS). These aren’t poetic words. They are divine impartations:

 

  • DUNAMIS – The miracle-working energy of God.
  • KRATOS – The demonstrative force of divine strength.
  • ISCHUOS – The capability to function and war in spiritual authority.

 

You were never called to survive spiritually. You were called to live empowered, filled, and functioning in your assignment.

 

And Pentecost is not just a date—it is a divine shift.

 

In Leviticus 23:17, two loaves are waved before the Lord—baked with leaven. Sin is present. Imperfection remains. Yet God accepts the offering. These loaves prophetically speak of Jews and Gentiles, unified by the Spirit at Pentecost.

 

This wasn’t coincidence. It was covenant.

 

“I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them…”
– Ezekiel 11:19

 

“I will put my laws into their minds and write them on their hearts…”
– Hebrews 8:10

 

Pentecost was the day the scattered became one. The powerless became powerful. The law on tablets became the law on hearts.

 

And today, that same Spirit—the very breath of God—lives in you.

 

So stand. Be still. Or let the wind fill your house. Either way, He is coming.

 

The fire still falls.
The wind still blows.
The Spirit still empowers.

 

This is Pentecost.
