SPIRIT OUTPOURED
By: Jürgen Bühler

If there is one nation on earth which has a Biblical right to receive the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, it is Israel. Many prophets prophesied to the Jewish people throughout history that a day would come when God would pour out His Spirit on Israel. On the day of Pentecost, when Peter stood up to speak to his Jewish brethren, he referred to Joel chapter 2 and declared that “the promise (of the Spirit) is to you and to your children” (Acts 2:39).

The prophet Isaiah also foresaw revival for Israel. As he looked around Jerusalem, he found his people in a state of crisis and devastation. But then he declared that this would only last “until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high” (Is. 32:15). The direct result of the outpouring of God’s Spirit is peace, which is exactly what many Jews and Palestinians yearn for today. The true roadmap for peace in the Middle East is the through the outpouring of God’s Spirit on both Jews and Arabs.

Today there is a new, dynamic move of the Spirit gaining momentum in the Middle East. According to Operation World, the nation with the highest rate of church growth in the world is Iran, and second to that is the nation of Afghanistan! God is in control. Here in Jerusalem we are hearing about revivals in Algeria and even in Egypt, and we know that God’s Word promises one day His Spirit will again be poured out in Jerusalem and on the house of David.

What is the Holy Spirit saying to me?
