Old Testament passages that seem relevant:
(Acts2:17-18 which is Peter quoting Joel 2:28-29 NIV) In the last days, God says, 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. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
(Isaiah28:11-12 NKJV) For with stammering lips and another tongue He will speak to this people, to whom He said, “This is the rest with which you may cause the weary to rest,” and “This is the refreshing”; yet they would not hear. (Mahesh Chavda thinks tongues is given by God for rest and refreshing to all believers.)
(Psalm 107:9 NKJV) He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
(Psalm 8:2 NIV) From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise, because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
(From Joel 3:9-10 NIV) Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for war! Rouse the warriors!………. Let the weakling say, “I am strong!” (Apparently the Hebrew word used for ‘strong’ means a ‘warrior’ or ‘tyrant’)
(Isaiah 64:4 is quoted by Paul in1Cor2:9 NKJV) But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
(Isaiah 55:8-11 NIV) “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”
(Jer 31:33-34 NIV) ‘This is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel after that time’ declares the Lord. ‘I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbour, or say to one another, “Know the Lord” because they will all know me from the least of them to the greatest,’ declares the Lord. ‘For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.’
(Ezek 36:25-27 NKJV) Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgements and do them.
(Paul in 2Cor 6:16b quoting from Lev 26:12 NKJV) As God has said ‘I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God and they shall be my people.’
(Parts of Psalm 149 TPT) It’s time to sing to God a brand new song…….His godly lovers triumph in the glory of God, and their joyful praises rise even while others sleep. God’s high and holy praises fill their mouths, for their shouted praises are their weapons of war! ….Praise filled warriors will enforce the judgement-doom decreed against their enemies! This is the glorious honour He gives to all His godly lovers! Hallelujah!
(Ex 15:2 NKJV) The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation. He is my God and I will praise Him; my father’s God, and I will exalt Him. The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name.
(Psalm 34:8 NKJV) Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him.
Much of Psalm 29 seems relevant: (Ps29:taken from2-9NKJV) Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. The voice of the lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the Lord is over many waters; the voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty…..the voice of the Lord divides the flames of fire. The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness….And in His temple everyone says “Glory!”
