On the Day of Pentecost, the disciples gathered in one accord at the Upper Room for the Holy Spirit to pour into them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, so that they could be His witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth (Acts 1:8).
It took a persecution to scatter the disciples (Acts 8:4), so that they could pour out the Holy Spirit beyond Jerusalem. They no longer kept gathering and waiting for God to pour in. They scattered for God to pour out through them, for Christ in them is the Hope of glory.
Covid is a tiny glimpse of “persecution”, though it isn’t really persecution.
Two days ago, I saw a vision of a gigantic bottle. Multitudes were waiting inside the bottle for one pebble to drop. However, the pebble couldn’t get through the opening. Then I saw the bottle turned upside down and the multitudes were being poured out into many different bowls and each bowl had that pebble.
What’s the point of this vision? I didn’t get any understanding until today.
The time has come where the “opening” has become tighter and shall be even more in the days to come. This is the time for the believers to stop gathering and waiting for the Holy Spirit to pour in. It is time for the believers to scatter for the Holy Spirit to pour out, because He is present (pebble) wherever we go ——- in every sphere of life.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. - Matt 24:14
