THE ACCEPTABLE TIME IS NOW

“For He says, In the acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you. Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
— 2 Corinthians 6:2

The Bible tells us that “to everything there is a season” (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
That means even a tree has its season to bear fruit — not every time is fruit season. You may water the tree and add fertilizer, but if it is not the right season, it will not bear fruit. Why? Because everything happens in its appointed time.

Likewise, in the Spirit, times and seasons changed the moment our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven to prepare a place for us. Before that, there was no open door for men to bear the fruit that pleases God. The privilege of knowing God deeply and being filled with His Spirit was limited to a few prophets whom God had chosen by grace.

In the days of Moses, for instance, only certain elders received a portion of God’s Spirit.

Numbers 11:24–29
“The Lord took of the Spirit that was upon Moses and placed the same upon the seventy elders; and it happened, when the Spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied, although they never did so again…
Then Moses said to Joshua, ‘Oh, that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!’”

Do you see that? Moses longed for a time when all God’s people would receive the Holy Spirit — not just a few chosen ones.

THE SEASON OF GRACE HAS COME

That time which Moses longed for finally arrived when the Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven. The prophecy of Joel began to be fulfilled:

Joel 2:28–29
“And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams,
your young men shall see visions.”

This is the acceptable time — the season of God’s favor — when His Spirit is poured out upon all flesh without distinction.

That is why the Apostle Paul wrote:

2 Corinthians 6:1–2
“We then, as workers together with Him, also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain…
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”

Beloved, this is the time of grace.
The saints and prophets of old longed to see this day — the day we are now living in — but they died without experiencing it.
They desired to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, yet it was not their appointed season.

But now, through Christ, that promise has been fulfilled. The same Spirit that came upon Moses is now poured out upon all who believe in Jesus Christ — both great and small.

DO NOT MISS THE HOLY SPIRIT

Let us not take this privilege lightly. You may lose many things in life, but never lose the Holy Spirit, for He is the seal of God upon your life.

Ephesians 4:30
“Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”

Have you received the Holy Spirit?
If not, know that He is freely given to all who truly repent and turn to God.

Repentance is not by words only, but by action.
If you used to steal, stop stealing and restore what you took.
If you used to sell your body, stop immediately and cut off all those contacts.
If you practiced immorality, corruption, or any form of sin — abandon it completely and come to Jesus for mercy.

When God sees that your repentance is genuine and active, His Holy Spirit will draw near to you.
You will feel a new strength within you — as if you were weary and suddenly renewed from within.

To complete this work of grace, be baptized quickly in the right way — in much water and in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, as written in the Scriptures:

Acts 2:37–39
“Then Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’
For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

THIS IS THE ACCEPTABLE TIME — THE DAY OF SALVATION

Therefore, dear brother or sister, do not delay.
This is the time that kings and prophets desired to see.
This is your season — your acceptable time before God.

Receive the Holy Spirit today.
Walk in righteousness and be sealed for the day of redemption.
