JESUS went in and out among His disciples for a period of forty days and nights showing Himself alive by many infallible proofs. At the same time, Jesus spoke of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. After this time, Jesus ascended during which time He continued to communicate with His disciples through His Holy Spirit. But as we read in the scriptures, JESUS, prior to His ascent commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem. In fact, He told His disciples to wait there at Jerusalem until you receive the promised baptism of the Spirit of God! Similarly, JESUS said to them John (the Baptist) truly baptized with water but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost!
JESUS further stated that they would be endued with power, resulting from the Holy Ghost coming upon them/you. It will be at this point that they/you shall be His witnesses here and beyond - even to the very uttermost parts of the earth. So the disciples as instructed by their Lord waited at Jerusalem. 10 days they waited. Then, all of a sudden they heard a sound like a strong rushing wind. The sound seemed to be everywhere. As they sat there, tongues began to move uncontrollably as if they were on fire. As recorded in Acts 2, this uncontrollable experience happened to 120 persons who were gathered together.
What was happening? The 120 persons were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit moved upon them. Indeed, they just kept speaking in tongues. All of this was in order to fulfill the prophetic scriptures which said, "It shall come to pass that God will pour out of His Spirit [upon all believers] causing your sons and daughters to prophesy, your young men to see visions, and your old men to dream dreams." Yes, even upon those who are servants and upon handmaids will I will pour out My Spirit causing them to prophesy - saith the Lord.
Even more so, I will show wonders in the heavens and signs in the earth. Strange happenings will occur - blood, fire, and vapour of smoke. At this time, the sun shall be darkened and the moon turned into blood. All of these wonders appearing before the great and notable day of the Lord's coming!
In these days, saith the scriptures, it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved! Please read Acts chapter 2. Commit your life to the Lord so that God can pour out of His Spirit upon you too!
