"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven." Acts 2:1-5The ministry of the Spirit of God seemed to have started officially that day of Pentecost and we're still experiencing a lot about His/Her/Its ministry 2000 years after.
The empowerment of the Spirit raised up different ministry that gave birth to an organized structure to the church (namely, Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Evangelists and Pastors ... see Ephesians 4:11). By the infilling of the Spirit of God we discovered God's grace, the victory of Sin, the value of the work of the Cross in our lives and the real possibility to have a godly character and lives that glorifies God.
Thank you Lord for the Holy Spirit ministry to the Church of Christ.
