God's Spirit Is Poured Onto A Wilderness Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jun 5, 2022

The Spirit is poured out from on high, “and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field.” It’s like the change from a dry desert into garden land. When God sends his Spirit, He begins to produce good fruits. That’s the sure effect of his work: a harvest for God.

God had this hidden, master plan to bring all things together, in heaven and on earth. And what that looks like on earth, is that God is making one ...read more
