Filling And Empowerment

Bible reading: Acts 2:1-4

At Pentecost, the disciples obeyed and waited in prayer. In God’s appointed time, He poured out His Spirit. We ought to wait faithfully, trusting Him rather than forcing results.

Testimony: A Wave of God’s Presence

A preacher arrived at a church service to speak and immediately sensed something was wrong. Walking through the doors, he felt nothing — no presence of God in the praise, the worship, the offering, or the exhortation. Rather than push through as if nothing was amiss, he paused and asked himself why. The answer came from Scripture. He opened Leviticus 10:3 and read aloud to the congregation the solemn reminder that God is holy, and He does not draw near to those who do not revere Him. The message landed with weight. The atmosphere shifted.

At the close of the sermon, the preacher bowed his head and prayed a single, sincere sentence: “Lord, confirm Your Word preached tonight to these people.” It was not a long prayer. It was not a loud prayer. But it was an honest one.

What happened next was unexpected. Immediately, the presence of the Lord filled the auditorium. The preacher had not called for a response or led the congregation in prayer. But all around the building, people began to sob. Others wept openly. It was as though an invisible wave of God’s presence swept from the back of the room to the front, bringing cleansing, conviction, and deep refreshing in its wake.

He had not orchestrated it. He had simply honoured the Lord. And the Lord had come.

“He is not far from each one of us.” (Acts 17:27)
