The Voice of the Holy Spirit | January 18th, 2026 | River of God | Pastor Donald GrayIn this week’s message, Pastor Donald Gray calls the church back to recognizing, hearing, and responding to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Anchored in Acts 2:14–21, this teaching reminds us that the move of the Spirit was never meant to be a moment in history—but a living reality for every generation of believers.On the day of Pentecost, as confusion filled the crowd, Peter stood and lifted his voice—not in his own strength, but empowered by the Holy Spirit. What looked like chaos to the natural eye was actually the fulfillment of God’s promise spoken through the prophet Joel. God declared that He would pour out His Spirit on all flesh—sons and daughters, young and old—and that His voice would be made known through prophecy, visions, and dreams.Pastor Donald emphasizes that when the Spirit speaks, clarity replaces confusion. The Holy Spirit does not merely inspire emotion; He releases understanding, conviction, and direction. The same Spirit who gave Peter boldness to speak is the Spirit who still speaks today—calling people to repentance, awakening hearts, and revealing Jesus as Lord.This message draws a clear contrast between:Noise versus the voice of the SpiritReligious activity versus spiritual empowermentSpeaking from emotion versus speaking from divine authorityThe outpouring in Acts 2 was not about spectacle—it was about God restoring communication with His people. When the Spirit is poured out, God’s voice becomes accessible, His will becomes clear, and His people are empowered to speak truth without fear.This sermon reminds us:The Holy Spirit gives believers a voice rooted in truthGod still speaks through His Spirit todayThe outpouring is for all—not a select fewBoldness flows from obedience and surrenderIf you’ve been struggling to hear God clearly, this message is an invitation to quiet the noise and realign with the Spirit. God desires to speak—not just to leaders, but to all who are willing to listen.📖 Scripture Covered:Acts 2:14–21🙌 Like, Share & SubscribeDon’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more Bible teachings and sermons.🔔 Tap the bell icon to stay updated with new messages.📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel:River of God Channel🌐 Stay Connected:Newsletter: https://eepurl.com/ioxFB2Website: https://rogcc.com📍 Join us in person:River of God Christian Center110 Wolcott St, Brooklyn, NY 11231(Red Hook, Brooklyn, NY)🎯 Relevant Hashtags:#HolySpirit #Acts2 #VoiceOfGod #Pentecost #SpiritFilled #RiverOfGod #PastorDonaldGray #ChristianTeaching #LastDays #Outpouring
