What Happens When God Pours out His Spirit
Jesse M. Hendley
Joel 2:28-29
Now if you have your Bibles, friends, you may turn with me to Joel, chapter 2, verses 28 and 29, where we are studying about the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God said, "I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh."

Being a minister, my heart really craves and wants more than anything else this wonderful experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit.

There isn't anything greater than to serve, to wait on, GOD. I have been amazed so many times at this thing, that God not only saved me, but gave we the PRIVILEGE of being one of his servants!
