What stands out to me the most is that God never stopped pouring His Spirit out on a hungry world. His plans and purposes, set in motion on the day of Pentecost, to empower His people to do His work have prevailed throughout history. Signs and wonders are still God’s ways of speaking to the lost and He provides a way to meet the needs of His children through all the manifestations of the Spirit. God’s mission has always been to seek and save the lost. In order to fulfill this mission, God pours out His Spirit on His servants – those who diligently seek Him – and gives them supernatural powers which draw people’s attention toward the God of the universe. He did it at Pentecost, He does it today, and He will continue to pour out His Spirit on His servants till Jesus comes back.

It is so evident to me through this brief overview that God desires to meet with his children and impart his spirit. In every age across the world God met people where they were at and filled them with his spirit. He is a gracious and loving God who so desires relationship that he tangibly meets us rather than demanding blind faith in a distant god.

Just goes to show the powerful unchanging, unmovable works of God.
What was so many years before, are still at works today.
