Let me tell you about the day everything changed — again.

Ten days of waiting. Ten days of prayer. One hundred and twenty believers packed into an upper room in Jerusalem, trusting a promise they did not fully understand. And then — the day of Pentecost arrived.

Suddenly — and I mean SUDDENLY — a sound came from heaven like a violent, rushing wind. Not a gentle breeze. A ROAR. It filled the entire house where they were sitting. And then something appeared that no one could explain: what looked like tongues of FIRE separated and rested on each person. Every single one of them.

This story comes from Matthew/Luke/Acts and is part of the New Testament.
