God speaks today Friday | September 22, 2023
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
(Joel 2:28)For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
(Acts 2:15) One last great outpouring of the Power of the Holy Spirit
The filling of the Holy Spirit is often characterized by manifestations that make people think that people are drunk. This is because the Holy Spirit can cause people to talk or move incoherently, similar to being drunk with alcohol. On the Day of Pentecost, the apostle Peter connected the manifestation of the Holy Spirit with the prophetic scriptures of the Old Testament, specifically the Book of Joel. While Joel's prophecy has a two-fold fulfillment, the apostle Peter understood that the first fulfillment was occurring on the Day of Pentecost. However, the fullest fulfillment of the prophecy will be given in the end times before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, where there will be a great, powerful manifestation of the Power of the Holy Spirit worldwide. The Church of Jesus Christ will be endowed with supernatural power in an unprecedented way to announce the Gospel, a last great harvest before the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
