May <strong>the</strong> grace <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lord Jesus Christ, and <strong>the</strong> love <strong>of</strong> God, and <strong>the</strong> fellowship <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Holy Spirit be <strong>with</strong> you all.<br />

2 Corinthians 13:14<br />

Congratulations! You have made it to <strong>50</strong> <strong>days</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>intimacy</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit. I trust<br />

that <strong>the</strong>se <strong>days</strong> were beautiful and intimate times that drew you into wonderful<br />

fellowship <strong>with</strong> Him.<br />

The number <strong>50</strong> is associated <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit. The disciples received and was<br />

baptized <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit on <strong>the</strong> <strong>50</strong>th day <strong>of</strong> waiting on Him as per <strong>the</strong> Lord's<br />

instruction. It was <strong>the</strong> day <strong>of</strong> Pentecost. It was <strong>the</strong> initiation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> era <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit<br />

in and through <strong>the</strong> church.<br />

Just like Jesus who died on <strong>the</strong> cross makes salvation available for all once and for all,<br />

<strong>the</strong> entire church once and for all, past, present and future were included in <strong>the</strong> baptism<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit. You were included in that outpouring and baptism and can now by<br />

faith, receive it and walk in its power just as you received your salvation by faith, in<br />

what Jesus did for you on <strong>the</strong> cross.<br />

The Holy Spirit now ensures that you are secured <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> three-strand cord <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Trinity - God <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r, God <strong>the</strong> Son and God <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit.<br />

Your salvation and <strong>the</strong> blessing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> abundant life is secured by a three- strand cord<br />

which is not easily broken. The Trinity ensures that your salvation can never ever be<br />

undone!<br />

He teaches you about <strong>the</strong> Grace <strong>of</strong> our Lord Jesus Christ. You are saved by grace<br />

through faith, not by works. You didn't earn or achieve it, so you can't lose it. It is an<br />

irrevocable gift to you. You are eternally secured in unearned and unmerited favor.
