Acts 2:16-21 reminds us what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

“‘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.

Even on my servants, both men and women,
    I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
    and they will prophesy.

I will show wonders in the heavens above
    and signs on the earth below,
    blood and fire and billows of smoke.

The sun will be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood
    before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.

And everyone who calls
    on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

This pouring out has happened at Pentecost and it continues to happen to all who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior then follow him and his ways. The Holy Spirit fills us with power and purpose. He empowers believers with the ability to overcome challenges, persevere through difficult times, and live a life of love, joy, and peace. This power is not limited to miraculous abilities, but also includes the strength to resist sin, make wise decisions, and live a life that reflects the character of Jesus. 

The Holy Spirit helps us discover our unique spiritual gifts and talents, and guides us how to use them to serve God and others. This purpose is not just about what we do, but also about who we become as we follow this guidance.
