Once we can see that plus the fact that since 1900 over 900 million have proclaimed to have received the Holy Ghost (and thats a 7 yr old figure) I'd say God still doing it. Let me add this while we discuss it...If our local churches experienced a sudden thrust of souls due to Holy Ghost out pouring...what do we have in place to keep those souls that God could count us faithful with the harvest?

Its because most churches don't disciple what they have. Plus the the majority of folks who recieve the Holy Spirit get Him outside our fellowship... which is a whole different thread with lots of points of view
