Even a great cathedral steeple was bent out of shape. In some areas tornadoes destroy everything in their path. Wind is also a symbol of the Holy Spirit s life-giving power, even to the raising of the dead. The second Pentecostal symbol was the tongues of fire. Fire is also a frequent symbol of Deity in the Bible.
Fire symbolizes the Holy Spirit, revealing both light and truth.
The Holy Spirit moves upon the human heart. He persuades and convinces people to surrender their wills to Christ, that they might radiate light, warmth, and love to all within reach. Never in the Bible is the Holy Spirit pictured as being cold and indifferent to human needs. Rather, He is revealed as a divine person, as God, ever trying to reach humanity with His message of salvation. A person s spirituality may appear lifeless as a stone.
