Joel 2:28 – And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people
This prophecy was prophesied by Joel some 900 years before the birth of Christ. Some scholars say it was prophesied around 5th or 4th century. Whatever the case, it was at least 500 years before the birth of Christ.
Prophecy Fulfilment – This prophecy was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost. We read in Acts 2:14-18, Peter filled with the Holy Spirit affirmed the word spoken by Joel the Prophet. The infilling of the holy spirit started in the upper room and it continues even today.
We need the Holy Spirit to lead a successful Christian life otherwise we will fail miserably. Many people who have started well with their Christian faith had quit because they are trying to run the race on their own strength. Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing – John 15:5
Prayer: Father God, Pour out your holy spirit on us and on our children. Help us to receive and operate in the gifts of the Holy spirit. In Jesus name I pray – Amen!!!
