Can You Imagine…
The apostles were given the power of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost.
(NASB) Acts 2:1-4 “WHEN THE day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.
2 And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them.
4 And they were filled with the Holy Spirit…”

Acts 5:12
*working through the apostles?
*bringing believers in one accord to the portico (porch) of Solomon (in the temple)?
Can you imagine the power of the Holy Spirit:
Acts 5:13

Acts 5:14
*the multitudes being added constantly to the growing early Christian church?

Can you imagine the power of the Holy Spirit:
Acts 5:16
*the sick were brought from many cities near Jerusalem – sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits were all healed by the apostles?
