About this listen

I. From Ordinary to Extraordinary

Acts 2:14; Acts 4:13 (ESV)

  • The Holy Ghost transformed ordinary people—fishermen, tax collectors, doubters—into bold, powerful vessels of God.
  • Peter, once fearful, now preached with fire. These were not trained scholars—they were people who had been with Jesus.
    Reflection: When God fills you, He doesn’t check your résumé. He checks your availability.

II. Five Kinds of Power Released at Pentecost

1. Power to Be Bold Witnesses

Acts 1:8; John 20:19

  • Before Pentecost: fear and hiding.
  • After Pentecost: boldness in the streets.
    The Holy Ghost emboldens you to speak truth without fear.

2. Power to Speak with Divine Authority

Acts 2:4,6

  • Speaking in tongues wasn’t just noise—it was understood in every language present.
    A supernatural gift for communicating the Gospel clearly and powerfully.

3. Power to Transform Lives

Acts 2:37-38

  • Peter’s message pricked hearts—3,000 repented and were baptized.
    Real Holy Ghost power leads to transformation, not just celebration.

4. Power to Unite Believers

Acts 2:1; Acts 2:44 (ESV)

  • Pentecost created spiritual unity—“one accord in one place.”
    True revival starts with oneness of heart, mind, and purpose.

5. Power to Operate in Signs and Wonders

Acts 2:43

  • The early church didn’t just talk the Kingdom—they demonstrated it.
    Healings, deliverance, and miracles followed Spirit-filled believers.

Reflection Questions:

  • What are you doing with the power you’ve received?
  • Are you hiding it or walking in it?
  • Is your Pentecost power only seen in services, or is it changing lives around you?
    The Holy Ghost didn’t come to make you dance—He came to make you witness.

Conclusion: From Fisherman to Fireman
Peter wasn’t just reformed—he was ignited. Pentecost turned him from a fisherman into a “fireman,” not the kind who puts out flames, but the kind who starts them. He preached the Gospel with boldness, became a key leader in the early church, and operated in the full force of the Holy Spirit.

Final Thought:
You didn’t just receive a moment—you received movement. The same fire that fell at Pentecost still burns today. You have power—use it. Don’t just carry it, release it.
