Subject: What is POURING of the Spirit? |
Bible Note: Since the work of the Holy Spirit is often wrongly understood and wrongly taught, I have tried to explain it under three headings. 1) the INDWELLING, 2) the FILLING and 3) the POURING. Many cult groups have cropped up because of a wrong understanding of these things. A believer is sealed and INDWELT by the Holy Spirit from the time of his salvation. A believer must progressively be FILLED with the holy Spirit by yielding to the Word of God so that he can become worthy to enter into the coming glorious Kingdom of Christ. A believer should not look for a POURING of the Holy Spirit associated with signs, wonders and miracles which cannot exist today. The real POURING OUT of the Spirit will occur only in the mist of Israel when our Lord regathers and restores them to their land, on His glorious return. You will find a detailed discussion of these truths with all the Bible References in an article on my website noted below.
