A couple ...

A couple of passages grabbed a hold of me this morning. They are from Acts 2, a biblical chapter that tells of the birth of the Church.

All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability ... So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, the breaking of bread and the prayers (Acts 2:4, 41-42).

God the Spirit gives us what it takes to give testimony for and of God. The Spirit helps us to bridge communication gaps. The Spirit changes lives -- gives the ability, the translation, for understanding, realization, guilt, desire for change, repentance, faith, and devotion. The Spirit empowers the breaking of bread and prayers.
