God said about his spirit coming up on men’s and women’s
“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit on 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
But this prophecy has began it’s fulfillment when apostles receive the baptism of the holy Spirit in acts chapter 2
Acts 2 (AKJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹ And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
² And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
³ And there appeared to them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat on each of them.
⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
When this happen we see the disciples speak in foreign languages and that which become strange for the visitors; some was amazed, some was in doubt, some think that they were drunken but Peter stand and explain to them all that happened, he explained to them that this was the fullfillment of the prophecy
Acts 2
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹⁴ But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, You men of Judaea, and all you that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and listen to my words:
¹⁵ For these are not drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
¹⁶ But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
¹⁷ And it shall come to pass in the last days, said God, I will pour out of my Spirit on all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
¹⁸ And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Holy Spirit is the promise that Jesus gave to his followers that they shall receive and tell them to wait before ascending to heaven
John 14
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹⁵ If you love me, keep my commandments.
¹⁶ And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
¹⁷ Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.
“And, behold, I send the promise of my Father on you: but tarry you in the city of Jerusalem, until you be endued with power from on high.”
— Luk 24:49
Acts 1
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
⁴ And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, you have heard of me.
⁵ For John truly baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
So Peter confirmed that the promise of Jesus about Holy Spirit has happened by saying
“Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he has shed forth this, which you now see and hear.”
— Acts 2:33
Also Peter answered the questions “what to do to receive the holy spirit or how to receive holy spirit” in Acts chapter 2:38 and “for whom this promise works? Does it work for every one? Is holy spirit is for today? is holy spirit working today? Can I be baptized by holy Spirit? ” in Acts chapter 2:39 Peter gave us the answers that we need.
Acts 2
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
³⁷ Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brothers, what shall we do?
³⁸ Then Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
“For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.”
— Acts 2:39
So I want to tell you today that the promise of the holy spirit is also for you, if you have received Jesus as your personal Lord and saviour and baptized and been washed by the blood of Jesus and have been forgiven let me tell you this promise “the promise of the holy spirit” is for you wait in prayer and in expectation as disciples until you be baptized with the holy Spirit pray to God saying “God you have promised that the holy Spirit will be poured out in the last days, Jesus has told us to wait until we receive the holy Spirit, so God according to your promises and desire and will as you said in your word luke chapter 11:13
“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?”
— Luk 11:13 Fill me with your spirit, baptize me with your fire anointing 🔥🔥🔥🔥 fill me now as I wait up on you fill me up holy Spirit Amen!!
