More Christians Spirit-Filled
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams."
Use of spiritual gifts growing.
(Religion Today)
Pentecostals and charismatics comprise 27 percent of all Christians, according to researcher David Barrett. Those who believe in the modern-day demonstration of spiritual gifts such as healing and speaking in tongues are the fastest-growing segment of Christianity, he said. About 900,000 people worldwide considered themselves Pentecostal or charismatic in 1900, but that figure reached 523.7 million in 2000, said Barrett, author of the World Christian Encyclopedia. The largest concentrations are in Latin America (141 million), Asia (134 million), and Africa (126 million). (Jesus speaking:) I am fulfilling the promise that I made for the Last Days, pouring out My Spirit upon all flesh, so that My children might prophesy, see visions, dream dreams, and draw closer to Me!
