A Call To Worship: I Feel Something In This Place

Inspired By Acts 2:1-21

Written By The Reverend Marben Bland

Leader: Acts 2:1-21 tells us that when the day of Pentecost had come, the disciples were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.

People: I feel something in this place! It feels like fire burning within!

Leader: As the day of Pentecost has come, on this Sunday, May 19th 2024 saints that typically meet on the telephone in the early hours of the morning are together in one place. And the rush of the Holy Spirit of God fills the entire sanctuary where we are sitting.

People: I feel something in this place! It feels like fire burning within!

Leader: And Peter said to the multitudes gathered on the Day of Pentecost that in the last days God declares that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. And on this day of Pentecost, the visions of the founders of the Devotional Prayer Line continues to be realized for the faithful saints have gathered to declare and crown Jesus Lord of all.

People: I feel something in this place! There’s a Sweet, Sweet Spirit in this place. It feels fresh and exciting! It smells new and anointing! Let us gather together, let us worship together, let us rejoice together for the fire of Pentecost is burning within all of us.

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only son our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead; and buried. The third day he arose from the dead’ he ascended into heaven and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Church Universal, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.

Glory,glory,hallelujah!
