When as a teenager I received the Holy Spirit, no, I didn’t see tongues of Fire, but on that Easter Monday, aged 14, in the Westminster Central Hall in London when they laid hands on me, it was as if the whole of Heaven opened up and Fire came down – I spoke with tongues, praising God. To me it was the ‘latter rain’ as prophesied by Joel. That experience has never left me in the almost 80 years since it took place. I still have the same Power, the same Anointing. Or rather, the Power and Anointing are stronger and more evident now that I’m over 90 years of age, than when I was a teenager! I take the literal interpretation of Joel 2:23 as a Power which will increase until all the Harvest is in – and Jesus returns!
And now Peter continues to address the crowd in v22, “You men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles, wonders and signs which God did by Him in front of you!” Peter is very clear, the evidence that Jesus was the Son of God was the miracles He did and which the people saw. I’m absolutely convinced that the greatest evidence of the Power of God even today is in the miraculous. When I preach the Gospel, I pray for the sick – and miracles happen. These miracles prove the Truth and the Power of the Gospel I preach. It happens all the time. Not just occasionally. The Power that fell on the Day of Pentecost and the miracles that Jesus worked and greater, still can, and should, happen today.
