God’s presence often goes unnoticed—not because He is absent, but because we’re not always aware. Throughout Scripture, people encounter God without realizing it at first: a woman mistakes the risen Jesus for a gardener, disciples don’t recognize Him until He breaks bread, and fishermen fail to see Him on the shore until He fills their nets. These moments reveal a God who is near, even when hidden. Then, at Pentecost, something shifts—God no longer simply appears around His people, He comes to live within them. The Holy Spirit fills ordinary people with extraordinary power, marking them not with a place, but with His presence. Fire no longer falls on altars or mountaintops; it burns in hearts. God’s Spirit becomes the proof of His nearness—empowering, transforming, and dwelling within those who believe.
