When you're labeled as 'crazy', that doesn't always make it so.
The believers in the early church were called 'drunkards' and 'crazy' when the Holy Spirit moved upon them. But the truth was God was really moving among them and within. There were also those keenly searching for answers, “what does this mean?”
Holy Spirit is promised gift who continues to operate in these last days, as we await the return of Jesus. It is what we focus on and are open to in the meantime that matters.
