2 Kings 2:11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.

Acts 2:1-3 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together… Suddenly a sound …a violent wind came from heaven... They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated

Genesis 2:7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
Ezekiel 37:9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’”

John 20:22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
John 3:8 “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

Acts 2:3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

Deuteronomy 32:8 “When the Most High…divided all mankind, He set up boundaries for the peoples…”

Acts 2:66 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken.

Genesis 11:7 “Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

We pray that the Spirit of God makes itself known to you this Pentecost, that you will walk in knowledge and power, that you feel the blessing of God; Father, Son and Spirit.
