Before Jesus ascended to Heaven he said to his disciples, "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about" /Acts 1:4/.
He was talking about the Holy Spirit who the disciples were to receive.
The Holy Spirit was not a wind, but his descent was accompanied with a sound like the blowing of a violent wind.
The Holy Spirit was not fire, but tongues of fire were signs of the fact that the hearts of those present were in fire of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit was not water, but as well as water fills a vessel the Holy Spirit filled the disciples' hearts.
You can read the story of the descent of the Holy Spirit in the first chapter of one of the books of the New Testament called Acts.
