I think it’s a great reminder to press in and seek Holy Spirit. I want all of him. Even if I don’t know what it will look like. Too often, I want the Holy Spirit to look a certain way, but if I can just seek Jesus, I can trust the timing and work of the Spirit.

  @Jenn thanks for sharing. It reminds me of how the Spirit’s role is to point us to Jesus. Sometimes it is said that the Spirit is like the sound person or spotlight operator. You shouldn’t be paying attention to them, rather their whole job is to direct you to what is happening on stage. When we learn to relate properly to the Spirit then, the Spirit will reveal more of Jesus to us.

    That’s a fantastic analogy! I like the idea of the sound person as the Holy Spirit!

The need to experience the infilling of the Holy Spirit and then prayer in the Spirit on a daily basis is as important today as it was at the beginning two thousand years ago.

  That’s a great answer Bonani. Can I ask you to expand a little bit? What does the fullness of living in the Spirit mean for you?

    For me, living in the fullness of the Holy Spirit involves daily fellowship with the Holy Spirit, worship in the power of the Spirit, exhibiting the fruit of the Spirit, learning to discern the Spirit’s voice and leading, yielding in obedience to the leading of the Spirit, ministering not in my own ability, but in the ability that the Holy Spirit gives, that is flowing in the gifts of the Spirit.

      Terrific. Thanks for being specific. It can be too easy when talking about the Spirit to be ambiguous but your answer really gives definition to the many aspects of the Spirit's role in the believer's life.

Curtis, first of all, welcome to ECO!

You are right, the outpouring of the Spirit in Acts 2 is not just something that happened 2000 years ago. Rather, as Pentecostals, we believe that the same Spirit is available to us today!
