'The Holy Spirit Gave Them Utterance'
Acts 2:4.
a) And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit,
b) And began to speak in other languages
c) As the Holy Spirit gave them ability.
(This QT teaches me that the Gift of speaking in other languages which we do not know comes from the Holy Spirit).
PRAY: TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

'Devout People.'
a) Isaiah 57:1. Are sometimes taken away and the people do not understand.
b) Luke 2:25. Have the Holy Spirit upon them.
c) Acts 2:5. May come from every Nation.
d) Acts 10:2. i) Fear God. ii) Are generous. iii) Pray.
e) Acts 10:7. Maybe from the military.
(Through this Second one I deeply respect Devout People)
PRAY: FOR GOD TO PROTECT THE DEVOUT PEOPLE IN YOUR TOWN.

As both the Church and individual Believers we need to be in awe of, and respect the things that come from the Holy Spirit. It is sad that, in many mainline Churches there is some suspicion about the Holy Spirit, mainly because of abusive and exclusive teachings from certain quarters of the Church. Correct teaching about the Holy Spirit will surely bring holiness and Grace into the Church.
