The great feature of the celebration was the presentation of the two loaves made from the first-fruits of the wheat harvest (I am the Bread of Life).

“Upon” us for power to do his works on the earth. “you shall receive power….” He extends the rule of the King to all Creation.

“Is this the time the kingdom will be restored to Israel?” No! “Wait for the power of the Holy Spirit.
“Acts of the Holy Spirit”
Creates Family for all people
Commissions and empowers every believer to be Kingdom conduits

Listen to Him – he is the voice of God and superior to all other voices.
Silence the voice of reason
Silence the enemy’s voice
Resist the fear of the Holy Spirit – surrendering control.
Reject forming opinions of him on the excesses of others
