And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy (Acts 2:17-18).
The sound from Heaven “filled all the house where they were sitting” (see Acts 2:2). This sound was a sign, witnessing that Heaven was speaking. The Greek word for sound denotes a loud rumbling or roaring voice, much like the rumbling of a tornado that precedes the storm.
This wind filled closets, bedrooms, bathrooms, upstairs, and downstairs. It filled all the components in the house: jars, glasses, significant and insignificant things. This indicates that anyone can be filled with the Holy Spirit.
We have seen saved Baptists, Methodists, Catholics--all walks of Christian professions--filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking with other tongues. The only mandatory prerequisite is that you be a believer--a born-again, blood-washed child of God (see Acts 2:38-39; John 14:17).
What about the place where you are sitting? What about your home church? Is it filled with the Holy Spirit? Has your assembly experienced a Pentecost that is filling everything inside? A person becomes a product of his or her environment. You will begin to resemble whatever you are around, whether it is good or bad.
