An Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit

Acts 2:1-21 (vs17-18)
Definition of the words Pour Out——-It speaks of abundance, overflowing and a gusher. It is the picture of discovering oil……having a steady flow of oil…….the oil is steadily pouring out…….

——We need an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our nation and the church…….

*** To receive a continual outpouring of the Holy Spirit……..there must be prayer. There are all kinds of prayer, but we need PAGA prayer…….
PAGA PRAYER

(1) PAGA prayer is a meeting prayer
* Gaga means to meet or a meeting time

* When we pray, we meet with God and the enemy

MEET WITH GOD

(A) WE MEET WITH GOD TO MEET WITH OTHERS – Luke 4:16-19
– This brings deliverance, salvation, deliverance, change and miracles…….

– Paga prayer is other centered prayer – then you get touched as you focus on others and the Lord…

(B) WE MEET WITH GOD TO PLACE ALL OF OUR BURDENS ON JESUS – Is 53:6,12
* Paga means to lay upon someone

* All of our sins were placed on the Lord. He bore our sins, carried them away and got rid of them…

* 1 Peter 5:7
(C) WE MEET WITH GOD TO GET TO KNOW HIM – Psalms 42:1-2

– We must grow to the point that we do not care if we ever receive anything from the lord. This is a process in our Christian growth…

– The baby stage of Christianity constantly asks for something
MEET WITH THE ENEMY

* PAGA prayer is meeting with the enemy and praying through the oppression
* We meet with the enemy to undo a meeting the enemy has had with people….to break the oppression the enemy has placed on people… Use your authority in Christ…

*********ENFORCE THE VICTORY PRAYER HAS BROUGHT TO YOU**********

(2) PAGA PRAYER IS HITTING THE BULLSEYE
Praying in tongues hits the bulls every time………..
a. Praying in tongues defeats the enemy – 1 Cor 14:1-2 & 1 Cor 13:1

* Tongues can be a real language

* Tongues can be a heavenly language
* The enemy tries to cause division and chaos concerning tongues cause he knows the power of speaking in tongues…
* Praying in tongues bypasses the mind and the enemy – 1 Cor 14:15-17
b.Praying in tongues hits the bullseye every time – Romans 8:26-28

– It is the Holy Spirit – God – praying through us…so it is a perfect prayer

– It is always the will of God. You hit the bullseye every time you pray in tongues…
