Peter's Quotation from Joel

What struck me most about this passage were these verses:

"I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams. "

I recall the testimonies of both Ravi Zacharias and a missionary who recently visited us sharing that a predominant reason of former Muslims converting to Christianity is a result of receiving a vision from Jesus while sleeping. Initially I was skeptical, but after obsessively researching this I have encountered numerous accounts all testifying to the same thing.

Too often we assume Jesus is far off in a distant place and will return someday and that we need to hold down the fort till then. But I'm beginning to believe that he's a lot closer than we think - and that is both exciting, and terrifying.

"They say Aslan is on the move - perhaps has already landed."
