The Power of Revival

The Power of Revival

February 5, 2023

Acts 2:1-4 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

The Holy Spirit’s role in revival is to

and

believers of Jesus.

Baptism of the Holy Spirit:

Supernatural

at faith in Jesus where we are indwelled with the Spirit and become a part of the church.

1 Corinthians 12:13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

Filling of the Holy Spirit:

Supernatural

for the submitted believer to live out the calling of following Jesus.

Ephesians 5:18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit.

Gifting of the Holy Spirit:

Supernatural

given at faith in Jesus to edify the church and change the world for Christ.

Romans 12:6-8 if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

The purpose of speaking in tongues is

a required sign today that a person is a believer in Jesus.

Acts 2:14-17 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel: “And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.”

The coming of the Holy Spirit marks the

of the end.
