WAITING ON THE SPIRIT

They remained in Jerusalem

They gathered in the upper room

They were of one mind

They were devoted to prayer

They chose a replacement for Judas

THE SPIRIT CAME SUDDENLY An Audible Sign: Like a violent wind that filled the whole house

A Visual Sign: Like tongues of fire that rested on each one of them

A Personal Sign: They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages
