Pentecost

 “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Pentecost is the wheat harvest festival for Jews, a time of gladness.  At this time they commemorated the law being given on Mount Sinai and their commitment to follow it as they became a nation.  On account of Christ’s resurrection, the disciples have come to Mount Zion, as they receive the Holy Spirit, now to commemorate the law of the Spirit of Life as they commit to being in the Kingdom of God.  The Holy Spirit empowers all those who believe in Jesus’s death and resurrection and identify with this through water baptism.  Then the Lord Jesus Himself baptises with the Holy Spirit and with fire.  This happens when we are of one accord with the Word of God following Scripture rather than denominational teaching.  The coming of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus’s disciples even today, is so that we are a witness for Him to win souls into His Kingdom because the fields are white and the harvest is plenty.  Thank You Holy Spirit for empowering us to be witnesses for our Lord Jesus!
