The Upper Room's Ten Days - Pentecostal (Isaiah 40:31)
Source: Biblical illustration77 words
After Jesus ascended, He told the disciples to WAIT in Jerusalem for the Spirit. They waited 10 days—praying, worshipping, expecting. Then Pentecost exploded. The waiting wasn't passive; it was pregnant with expectation. "Those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength"—the disciples discovered strength they'd never had before. Waiting on God doesn't mean nothing is happening; it means something is building. Are you in a waiting season? Keep praying. Pentecost followed waiting. So will your renewal.
