What if people were filled with the Holy Spirit instead of drunk this NYE? Saved instead of wasted?
” They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.”- Isaiah 11:9
At night, I had a dream on November 26, 2019. In that dream, I was walking down a forest trail with a friend. As we were walking, I recounted a dream to my friend, and as I was telling him the dream…the dream began to happen in the distance over some pine trees. In that dream, we’re three mountains, and a rainbow stretching over them. I heard a loud voice saying from the sky saying “the time has come” for God’s spirit to flood the earth.
This dream reminded me of another dream I had three years earlier about the earth being completely flooded with water and animals and people floating on pieces of wood, and broken off doors. These dreams reminded me of the scriptures that say,
“In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” – Acts 2:17
“Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,” – Ephesians 5:18
“Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.” – Zechariah 4:6
When we are fully immersed in the Holy Spirit our attitudes, appetites, and actions completely change. The false gods we thought we couldn’t live without will become repulsive to us. The baptism of the Holy Spirit will purge us from:
- Idolatry/Sexual Sin /Pornography/ the Jezebel spirit and false teaching
- Witchcraft
- Drug addiction
- Fear
- Depression
- Debt/slavery
- Suicidal thoughts
- Rage, anger, and foul language
- Overeating
- Greed
- Gossip and slander
- Envy
- The desire to be approved by popular culture
- Arrogance
- Apathy
It will replace these things with
- Joy
- Confidence in God’s word alone
- The desire and power for purity
- Freedom from drugs
- Peace
- Kindness
- Wisdom
- Hope
- Vision
- Faith
- Freedom from pop culture
- An unshakable identity
- Power to say NO to evil and overcome
- Boldness to preach the gospel wherever we are
- Spiritual and psychical healing
- Authentic Love
- Righteousness
Come flood this place, Lord! I pray you completely immerse every heart so that we will be moved to carry out righteousness every second of the day.
