Today’s Devotional

In Joel 2:28, the Lord speaks through the prophet Joel, promising a time when He will pour out His Spirit on all people. This prophecy points to the day when the Holy Spirit will be given to believers, empowering them to prophesy, dream dreams, and see visions. This scripture emphasizes the inclusive nature of God’s plan, as the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is not limited by age or gender.
 
This prophecy was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost, as recorded in Acts 2, when the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples, and they spoke in different languages. The outpouring of God’s Spirit marked the beginning of the church and empowered believers to carry out the mission of spreading the gospel to all nations.

  • Embrace the inclusive nature of God’s plan, understanding that the Holy Spirit is given to all people who believe, regardless of age or gender.
  • Seek the guidance and empowerment of the Holy Spirit in your life, asking God to use you to further His kingdom.
