Let it pour out


(Acts 2:17 KJV) And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.


There is a tendency for people to look up whenever there is a mention of the outpouring of the Spirit. A natural man thinks heaven is going to break open and the Holy Spirit will come down upon the sons and daughters of God.

However, God has released His Spirit on earth once and for all. The Holy Spirit has been resident on earth for over two thousand years. He is been in charge of the move of God ever since He came down on the day of Pentecost. He is already here.

What God is primarily doing in our time is coming from within us. We, the children of God are the carriers of His Spirit. The move of God for your time is coming from your inside. God poured the Holy Spirit down two thousand years ago. It is your turn to pour Him out from your inside. That is why the move of God in our time is called an outpouring and not a down pouring.

Be determined to co-operate with God at this crucial time. God needs you to help Him fill this whole planet with His Spirit. Stir up yourself from within and let your world be filled with the power of God.


DAILY SCRIPTURE READING: Joel 2:1-25.

MY DAILY CONFESSION

I am a new creation in Christ Jesus. I am the temple of the Holy Spirit. I keep God's temple holy and God is always pleased with me.

The Spirit of Him that raised Jesus Christ from the dead dwells in me. I am quickened from within. My body and soul are full of God's life as a result of the working of the Spirit on my inside.

Greater is He that lives within me than the one that lives in the world. I can do all things through the Spirit of God that strengthens me.

I have an anointing from the Holy One and I know all things. The Spirit of God that lives on my inside teaches me all things about life.

I have been adopted as a Son into the kingdom and I am always led by the Spirit of God. His divine power has given me all things that pertain to life and godliness.

I am never confused in life because the Spirit of God leads and guides me. God has not given the spirit of fear but that of love, sound mind, and power.
