“And he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb” Luke 1:15
“And, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the child leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit” Luke 1:41
“For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the child in my womb leaped for joy” Luke 1:44
“And suddenly a sound came from Heaven like the rush of a nightly wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire. Distributed and resting on each of them. And they were filled with the Holy Spirit..”. Acts of the Apostles 1:3-4
The Holy Spirit comes to each in varied ways but when He comes, He comes in full. He descends and the heart leaps for joy. Even an unborn baby, not having taken his first breath was filled with the Breath of God, the Holy Spirit. He was first seen in history in Genesis 1:2. He has been seen throughout history since. The Spirit stayed veiled throughout the Old. Then came the time for the world to receive Him.
That time is NOW! NOW.
What will you do in this time of the Holy Spirit? What will you do to open the door of your locked room to let Him in? Mary shows us the key. “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to Your word” Luke 1:38
The key to inviting the Spirit, opening your soul to His descent, accepting Him into your life and heart is ‘yes’. A simple yes starts the new Pentecost in your heart. A simple yes can change the world. A simple drop in a bucket can overflow it. The Holy Spirit is all the Ocean of God’s grace. Do you believe He can fill and overfill the bucket of your soul?
