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.
