What happens when 120 people are perfectly yielded to GOD?
It creates a sound and that sound results in a move of The Holy Spirit.
Jesus spoke to Nicodemus in John chapter 3:
5 Jesus answered, “I speak an Eternal Truth: Unless you are born of water and the Spirit, you will never enter God’s Kingdom.
6 For the natural realm only gives birth to things that are natural, but the Spiritual realm gives birth to Supernatural Life!
7 “You shouldn’t be amazed by My statement, ‘You all must be born from Above!’
8 For the Spirit-Wind blows as It chooses. You can hear Its sound, but you don’t know where It came from or where It’s going. So it is the same with those who are Spirit-born!”
The Holy Spirit chooses our direction and our destination as we bring forth The Kingdom of GOD. We simply follow His leading and respond without delay.
In Acts, suddenly, the sound of the Mighty Rushing Wind (a roar) blanketed the city of Jerusalem, and all the people rushed to see the source of the sound. It came to the house where the 120 were gathered.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2:
1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they (120 people) were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound (roar) from Heaven, as of a rushing mighty Wind (roar), and It filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other Tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
This single event changed the consciousness, the awareness, and mindset of an entire city. People who crucified Jesus 50 days earlier are now asking the question, “What must I do to be saved?”
A sound was created that changed the atmosphere of an entire city. Every time that you and I say yes to The Holy Spirit, a sound is released into a city. Something happens in the Spirit realm of a city where an awareness and consciousness increases among the people whether they realize it or not.
An event in Brazil during a meeting in 1997:
I heard the Spirit of God whisper to my heart, “I am coming again.” Immediately I sensed it and said, “He’s coming again!” What I now write will in no way accurately represent what happened next. My words are too limited and God too awesome. Neither will I exaggerate, for that would also be irreverent. I interviewed three other leaders who were present to clarify and confirm what I now record. No sooner had the word again left my lips when the following happened. The only way I know how to describe it is to compare it The Fear of the Lord to standing a hundred or so yards away from the end of a runway as a huge jet takes off right in front you. This describes the roar of the wind that immediately blew through that auditorium. Almost simultaneously the people erupted in fervent and intense prayer, their voices rising and combining into almost a single shout. When I first heard the rushing wind, I reasoned that a jet had just flown over the building. In no way did I want to attribute something to God if there was a chance that it was not. My mind raced to remember the proximity of the airport. It was nowhere nearby, and two hours had passed with no sounds of planes overhead. I turned inward to the Spirit, realizing I could sense the presence of God in an awesome way and that the people had exploded into prayer. This was certainly not in response to an airplane’s passing overhead. If it had been a plane, it would have had to have been flying at the low altitude of no more than one hundred yards over the building in order to sound like that. And even at that, I would not have been able to hear such a mighty rushing noise over the din of three thousand people praying loudly. The sound I heard was much louder, and clearly overpowered all the voices. With it resolved in my mind that the wind was the wind of the Holy Spirit, I still did not say anything. I did not want to relay inaccurate information or hype the people with overzealous professions of spiritual manifestation. The roar of this wind lasted approximately two minutes. When it subsided, it left in its wake a praying, weeping people. The atmosphere was charged with holy reverence. The Lord’s presence was very real and powerful.
Are you ready for the roar?
