understand. They said, “These men are filled with new wine.” Acts 2:13. While they weren’t drunk by an intoxicating beverage, they undoubtedly were acting like it. That raises a pertinent question. Why would God do such a thing or did God not have anything to do with it? The Bible clearly indicates about two verses later that it was of God. Well if it’s of God, how does it occur? It’s a supernatural working of God’s Holy Spirit. As I mentioned previously, it happens in my meetings and with a lot of frequency.
