The Filling of the Spirit for Prophecy


The Filling of the Spirit for Prophecy

Excerpt


With the coming of the Holy Spirit came also enablement to communicate God’s message supernaturally (Acts 2:4). The believers were filled with the Spirit for the specific function of proclaiming the gospel (2:11). The disciples were all filled with the Spirit, baptized into the body of Christ, and indwelt by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13; cf. Ezek. 36:27; John 14:17). Luke’s Gospel presented people being filled with the Spirit to speak (Luke 1:41–42, 67). But the difference in Acts from the early chapters of Luke is the speaking in foreign languages—“in other languages.”

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
