A study from Vince Baker Ministries
What did Wigglesworth emphasize about Pentecost?
Acts 1 connects the Spirit’s power to witness. In Acts 2, Peter explains what the crowd hears in light of Scripture and points people toward Jesus. This setting helps readers put bold language about spiritual experience alongside the purpose the passage gives it.
How can a believer respond to the call to be filled?
Ephesians pairs being filled with the Spirit with worship, thanksgiving, and mutual submission. First Corinthians describes gifts as the Spirit’s work for the benefit of others. Ask where the people around you need encouragement, wisdom, or service. Pray for the Spirit’s help as you respond.
