The outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost as recorded in Acts 2 changed the Church, and the Church changed the world. The same has happened since the ⚠renewal of Pentecostal experience 100 years ago. Six hundred fourteen million people, or over thirty percent of all adherents to Christianity, are now Spirit Empowered (Charismatic/Pentecostal) according to the most recent Pew Forum survey.
Growth rates in this Empowered movement between 1910 and 2010 were nearly four 👍times the growth rate of Christianity and the world’s population. Harvey Cox, a Harvard University professor, says that Spirit Empowered Christianity is “the fastest growing Christian movement on earth.”
The immediate presence of God is longed for by this generation. As we face world problems and overwhelming human difficulties, God’s power 💕will sustain us. Not only can we survive☕ these tumultuous days on planet earth, we can be empowered 🔥to help others find the comfort we know in Him.
and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the house of the Lord where the ark of God was. Then the Lord called to Samuel, and he answered, “Here I am.”
1 Samuel 3:3-4 MEV
First Samuel 3 gives an account of Samuel’s calling. The high priest Eli was old. His eyes were growing dim and his spiritual 😟perception was dull. The seven–pronged golden candlestick that was meant to burn day and🌷 night in the Holy Place of the tabernacle was burning out. The flame on the candlestick needed to be tended ⚠or it would go out, resulting in a deep, cold darkness in the place meant for God’s presence. Just before the fire burned out––before the candle grew cold, before the flame flickered for the last time––God🔊 CALLED!🙌🙌
“Samuel, Samuel!” Samuel misperceived the call as coming from Eli, from man. But the call 🔊continued until finally Samuel 🙌answered God’s voice and became a fiery prophet to his generation. The fire continued to 🔥burn!🔥🔥
Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming 🔥fire on the top of the mountain to the eyes of the children of Israel.
Exodus 24:17 MEV
exodus 25:31
hebrews 12:28
God is calling for a new 🙌generation to experience His 🔥fire. The candle burns low in many parts of the world and the place meant for blazing 💖 passion has become darkened and cold.
Samuel, or Johnny, Benny or Kathryn or Sue, Mark or Victoria or Hans or Amir, or Pablo etc —God is 🔊calling! Awaken to experience 🍓His fire and reach the world in the 21st century. Catch the fire 🔥and spread the fire 🔥🔥
🙏🙏🙏
Pray for 🙏awakening across the globe so that the fire 🔥will not go out!
Ask for a renewed 💖passion in your heart for the 🔔people and things of⚠ God.
Pray for spiritual ears to 💡be open to God’s call, and that many will follow Him.
