God Pours Out His Spirit
God Pours Out His Spirit Acts 2:14-21 Main Point: God will fill all of His people with His Spirit, so that He can accomplish His work of making His Name known among the nations! 1. God’s Preparation (Genesis1:1-2) Spirit Hovering – initiating His work on the earth by His Spirit. 2. Moses Plea (Numbers 11:29) That the Spirit would be upon all God’s people. 3. Ezekiel’s Prophecy - Ezekiel 36:22-27 He will cleanse our hard hearts from all our impurities and idols. He gives us a new heart of flesh (moldable) and new spirit, and removes our heart of stone. 4. Jeremiah’s prophecy – Jeremiah 31:31-33 God will make a New Covenant with his people - “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. How? By His Spirit in us. 5. Jesus’ Promise – John 14:15-20 ‘But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you.’ Jesus comes to live in us by the Spirit! 6. Pentecost’s Provision - Acts 1:4-8; 2:1-4; 14-21; 37-39 Ephesians 1:13- God seals us as His own with the Holy Spirit! 7. Believer’s Privilege – Romans 8:1-2; 12-16
