Unity in the Spirit Acts 2:1-4

In the book of Acts, we begin to see what the power of the Holy Spirit can accomplish through the lives of believers who yield to Him. In Acts chapter 1 we see the 120 believers waiting around to see what was going to happen. They were waiting to receive the power that was promised them when the Holy Spirit would come upon them. They continued in one accord which means unity and prayer, and then Peter got up and spoke. They prayed and asked God which one should replace Judas, and then they cast lots, and chose Matthias. He became the 12th disciple. Then in Acts chapter 2 we read that the day for the Holy Spirit to be poured out had arrived. There was some wind and a sound, and they knew something amazing was happening. This was the moment they were waiting for. They were unified and ready. Jesus didn’t want them to feel helpless without His presence, so He sent the Holy Spirit to be with them forever. Spectacular welcome to the spirit filled life! People began speaking in other tongues, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in other tongues as the Holy Spirit gave them the words. Unity is a power thing. We know that we can come to agreement in prayer, as it talks about in Matt 18:19 that if two will agree, it will be done for them. When 120 came into unity, a powerful, world altering event took place. The Holy Spirit came to the earth to live and abide and dwell in the lives of believers forever. We do not only get the opportunity to be baptized in water, we can be baptized in the Holy Spirit, and can receive power from on high. The power of unity is amazing. When husbands and wives come into unity, an amazing relationship can result. When believers in a church body come into agreement, great things can be accomplished for the kingdom of God. Let’s get into agreement with the plan of God, and change our world!
