Acts 2:2 NLT Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. The disciples were all gathered together in the Upper Room obeying Jesus’ instruction to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit to come. They were expectant and they obeyed, and suddenly the Holy Spirit arrived!

Peter was awaiting execution fast asleep but fellow believers outside were praying and he had a suddenly moment.

If we need a suddenly I think the Lord is nudging us to do our part, don’t you?😊
Thank You Lord for Your ‘suddenlies’!😊Amen.
