Message

According to Bill Johnson, “God’s face is revealed in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.” The outpouring refers to the release of God’s Spirit upon His children. On the day of Pentecost, the early disciples gathered together in the upper room to pray and wait for the baptism in the Holy Ghost as Jesus Christ commanded them before He ascended to heaven (Luke 24:49). Those present experienced the mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit which manifested in speaking in diverse languages of those who were in Jerusalem at that time.

The purpose of the outpouring of the Spirit of God upon believers is to empower them to be effective witnesses for Christ as Apostle Peter did after receiving the experience. Jesus Christ did great exploits for God while He was physically here on earth because God gave Him the Holy Spirit without measure. God expects every believer to follow the example of the early disciples. The Lord is willing to fulfil the promise of the outpouring of His Spirit in our lives if we thirst, pray and manifest faith for the experience.
