Father’s Holiness was imparted to The Disciples at Pentecost!
This year, the day of Pentecost falls on Sunday, May 19th. It takes place 50 days after the day of Ascension.
When you and I have received the Baptism of The Holy Spirit, our spirit has Holiness inside of us at our core. This is how The Holy Spirit is able to indwell in us without us physically perishing… thankfully!
When we are fully led by The Holy Spirit, we will walk in Supernatural boldness. Our beloved Peter is an excellent example of this phenomenon. He denied Christ three times before the Cross. Only John attended the crucifixion. Where were the other disciples? They were in hiding because of fear and unbelief.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 24:
1 Very early that Sunday morning, the women made their way to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Jesus’ mother Mary.
2 But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
3 Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.
5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?
6 He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,
7 saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.'”
8 And they remembered His words.
9 Then they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles.
11 And their words seemed to them like idle tales, and they did not believe them. 12 But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened.
Jesus told the disciples what would happen to Him yet they still marveled. They saw the miracles firsthand, yet they still marveled. Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 16:
16 Simon Peter answered Jesus and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.”
Peter had knowledge but was still lacking something. After the resurrection, Jesus spent 40 days teaching the disciples concerning the Kingdom of GOD. This was in preparation for Pentecost.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 1:
4 And being assembled together with them, Jesus commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me;
5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His Own Authority.
8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
On the day of Pentecost, Peter would experience a supernatural change in his character… boldness.
