Let Your House Be Filled With The Sound And Wind Of The Lord
Now when the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Acts 2:1-4).
The Lord God fulfilled His promise in Joel 2:28, 29 on the day of Pentecost. Here we see the people were in one accord; a sound from heaven; a mighty wind and filled the whole house. The house of God is also called as temple of God and Church of God , but all denotes that God the Father, Son Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit dwells in them.
Bible says house of God as individuals, family and Church; and God wants to fill these places of His dwelling with His presence. One accord can be simply defined as the first commandment of our Lord (Jesus said to him, " 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' Matthew 22:37). An individual or a family or a Church with Jesus Christ in their mind, heart, soul and body is in one accord.
Sound from heaven is the word that proceeds from the mouth of God ie the word of God. (Revelations 1:15, Psalms 29, Ezekiel 43:2). The mighty wind is the mighty Holy Spirit (Psalms 18:10, Hosea 13:15). The Lord God desires to fill each and every one of us, our family and our Church with the sound and wind of the Lord (His Word and Holy Spirit).
We as individuals are the temple of God (1 Corinthians 3:16). Bible commands every individual to love the God, meditate the word of God with all their heart, mind and soul while walking, sitting etc. (You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. Deuteronomy 6:5-8).
A person can sit and read Bible with his mind and heart wondering somewhere. A person can sit in a prayer with his thoughts somewhere else. Also a person can be in a place of worship thinking about worldly things. But for the Lord to fill each one of us with His word and Holy Spirit, our Lord wants us to be in one accord. Yes, our mind, body and soul should be in one accord thinking about Jesus Christ. Our thoughts should be filled with Jesus Christ, our desire should be for Jesus Christ, our body as living sacrifice for Jesus Christ and our soul filled with the desire of our creator Jesus Christ.
Yes, if we are in one accord in our mind, soul and body with Jesus Christ, our Lord will revel Himself and fill us with the sound and wind of the Lord.
Worshipping, serving, obeying the commandments and having a fellowship with the Lord as a family is the purpose of God even from the beginning of creation of man (Genesis 1, 2). The Lord God desires to bless and build each family with the power of His word and the power of His Holy Spirit. In 2 Samuel 7:11, God promised David, He will make him a house ie a spiritual house in God for the glory of the Lord.
Jesus Christ says where two or three are gathered in my name, I am in their midst. (Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." Matthew 18:19,20).
A house is the place where a husband, his wife and his children dwell with Jesus Christ as the head. Family prayer is the time a family gathers in worshipping the Lord together with songs of praise, meditating the word of God and praying to the Lord. Here also everyone can be together with each of them thinking about the office work or family issues etc.
But the Lord desires all the members of the family to gather in one accord having Jesus Christ in their mind, soul and body; worship the Lord with songs of praise; meditate the word of God and pray unto the Lord and experience the day of Pentecost each day.
The Church is the body of Christ (Ephesians 1:23, 5:23, Colossians 1:24) and the Lord wants His Church to be filled with His Word and Holy Spirit. A church gathering has only one purpose, to worship, to glorify and exalt the name of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the will of the Lord. Each member of the Church has to gather in one accord with Lord Jesus Christ in mind, soul and body.
People can physically be present inside a Church, but with their minds and heart wandering. But the Lords desire for every Church gathering is to be in one accord in Jesus Christ to receive His blessing and be filled with the sound and wind of the Lord.
My dear ones in Christ let us gather ourselves individually, as a family and as a Church with one accord in Jesus Christ and be filled with the sound and wind of the Lord. Let our thoughts be filled with Jesus Christ, let our minds be filled with Jesus Christ, let our talk be filled with glorifying our Lord Jesus Christ, let our body be a living sacrifice to our Lord Jesus Christ, let our mouth be filled with songs of praise to our Lord Jesus Christ. Let the sound and wind of the Lord dwell richly in the house of God in power, truth and spirit as in the day of Pentecost in Jesus Christ name, Amen. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. (2 Corinthians 13:14)
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. (Colossians 3:15)
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (Colossians 3:16)
And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. (Colossians 3:17)
