"I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh"

Text: Joel 2:28

A GLORIOUS PROMISE OF THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

One of the most wonderful ways in which God would confirm the giving of His blessing was to give the Holy Spirit. The prophets of God displayed the power of the Holy Spirit in their life and ministry.

“And it shall come to pass afterward
That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your old men shall dream dreams,
Your young men shall see visions.
And also on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.”
