In One Accord Acts 2:1

1When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.




Pentecost must have been a wonderful sight! I can only imagine how things must have been when the Holy Spirit down like a mighty rushing wind and filled the hearts of all the people who were in that room. The key to the process can be found in two areas.

First Jesus promised the disciples that this event would take place. 4And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father,“which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5“for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

You and I need to understand that God says what He means and He means what He says. When He makes a promise, He will keep that promise.

The second key is that Jesus’ followers did what Jesus told them to do! They went into the upper room and there they waited for this blessing from the Lord and they were there in “one accord.” This must have been some kind of prayer meeting! That is the only way that group of folks could have been in one accord for that long a period!

When you and I are willing to wait on the Lord and we wait in an attitude of prayer, it gets God’s attention and He responds in monumental proportions! God is ready to pour out His Spirit on His people; He is ready to pour out His Spirit on His church. All He is waiting for is for you and me to be willing to stand with Him and wait on Him to do what only He can do! He wants us to stand together in an attitude of prayer and thanksgiving in one accord with His will and His purpose for our lives and allow Him to do what He wants to do in and through our lives.

When you and I are willing to do that, we may well find the power of the Holy Spirit at work in our hearts and in our lives and we will see people coming to the Lord in record numbers because God has come down and touched us in a very special way!
