When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2:1-4)

Let the touch of Your Spirit fill this place
Let it Come down from Your heavenly space
So that we may see Your blessed face
Let the touch of Your Spirit fill this place

Let the touch of Your Spirit fill this place
Let it come down and show Your grace
So that we may see Your blessed face
Let the touch of Your Spirit fill this place

Let the touch of Your Spirit fill this place
Let Your healing power to all embrace
So that we may see Your blessed face
Let the touch of Your Spirit fill this place

Let the touch of Your Spirit fill this place
Let Your salvation to our sin take haste
So that we may see Your blessed face
Let the touch of Your Spirit fill this place

Let the touch of Your Spirit fill this place
Let our praise and worship keep in pace
So that we may see Your blessed face
Let the touch of Your Spirit fill this place

Spirit of the living God fall fresh on me
Spirit of the living God fall fresh on me
Melt me, mold me, fill me, use me
Spirit of the living God fall fresh on me.

What was the one blessed event that prompted the establishment of the early church? (Acts 2:41-47) What was the one blessed event that prompted the boldness of the disciples, who otherwise had fled the presence of God, to turn the known world upside down? (Acts 17:6). It was the infilling of God's Holy Spirit.

You see, these disciples were witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. They were convinced that everything else Jesus said was true. (Acts 4:19-20)

And this same Holy Spirit is still present and available for our lives today. All we need to do is accept Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and this self-same Spirit will fill our hearts and lives. (Romans 10:9) (Romans 8:11) (1 Cor 12:13) (Ephesians 4:30)

What are the Holy Spirit's characteristics? He is intelligent. (1 Cor 2:10-11) He has feelings (Ephesians 4:30). And He has will. (1 Cor 12:11)

What will the Holy Spirit do for us? He will teach us. (John 14:26) He will guide us. (Romans 8:14) He will commission us. (Acts 13:4) He will command us. (Acts 8:29) He will restrain us. (Genesis 6:3) He will intercede for us. (Romans 8:26) And He will speak for us. (John 15:26)

We must be very careful, however, because He can be lied to. (Acts 5:3) He can be resisted. (Acts 7:51) He can be blasphemed. (Matthew 12:31) And He can be grieved. (Ephesians 4:30)
