June 4 devotional

Scripture
Acts 2: 17-18
“In the last days, God said, I will pour out my spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophecy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour out my spirit upon all my servants, men and women alike, and they will prophecy.”
Observation
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is for everyone. God promised to pour out his spirit upon all people.
1) young and old
2) rich and poor
3) male and female
4) people from every race, tribe, and language
God breaks down every social barrier. He empowers every person to be a part of his mission, to play a role in his kingdom.
Application
I must seek fresh fillings of the Holy Spirit for me, my family, and church. I must preach and teach the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and give people an opportunity to receive. I must depend upon the Holy Spirit to empower me to fulfill God’s call upon my life and not minister in my own strength. The great need today is a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit.
Prayer
I ask that you fulfill your promise and pour out your spirit upon all flesh. May it begin with me, my family, and First A/G. My heart’s cry is pour out your spirit! Send the power! Fill us afresh and anew! May First A/G never back down from being Pentecostal. May we operate under the power of the Holy Spirit.
