The Lord wants to give us a new revival. So, like those three thousand people who were baptized. The Lord wants in us a true outpouring of the Holy Spirit. That the call of the Spirit poured over us inundates us and fills us from the inside. The revival that the Lord wants to bring to all of us . . . are the gifts of the Spirit.
this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 ‘It will come to pass in the last days,’ God says,
‘that I will pour out a portion of my spirit
upon all flesh.
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions,
your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Indeed, upon my servants and my handmaids
I will pour out a portion of my spirit in those days,
and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will work wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below:
blood, fire, and a cloud of smoke.
20 The sun shall be turned to darkness,
and the moon to blood,
before the coming of the great and splendid day of the Lord,
21 and it shall be that everyone shall be saved who calls on the name of the Lord

This prophecy is for us. May we do all in order that a revival may happen in us and in all the Church. Come, Holy Spirit!
