INTRODUCTION

  There is something mysterious about the wind. If you don’t believe that, try to explain the wind to a child, or try to understand an explanation of the wind in scientific terms. Because the wind is so mysterious, it is fitting that it is used as a symbol of God’s powerful Holy Spirit. What preceded the passing of the children of Israel through the Red Sea? All through the night the trembling host of Israel cringed in fear between the chariots of Egypt and the sea while the terrible winds of God cut a path through the heart of the waters (Ex. 14:21). We are told that when Elijah begged to see the face of God, “a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD” (1 Kings 19:11 NIV). Of the reaction of the onlookers on the day of Pentecost we read, “At this sound the multitude came together,

and they were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. And they were amazed and wondered, saying, Are not all these who are speaking Galatians?” (Acts 2:6–7 RSV).

I. Ordinary people do extraordinary things when the winds of

God begin to blow.

II. Ordinary churches do extraordinary things when the winds of

God begin to blow.

CONCLUSION

This new era must be the era of the Holy Spirit. We need

only for the winds of God to begin blowing, that in every worship place there would be heard from heaven a sound like the rushing of a mighty  wind.
