“But ye shall receive power , after that the holy ghost is come upon you…….. Acts 1:8KJV”
WHO
IS THE HOLY SPIRIT ?
The Holy Spirit is the
Spirit of the living God that dwells in all regenerated believers. He is the
power of God in demonstration. He is the Spirit of righteousness in believers,
He is the great comforter, He is the Spirit of truth, He is the Spirit that
resurrected Jesus from the dead. He is the greatest teacher of all time, He is the
seal of God’s love and mercy in your life. The Holy Spirit is the third person
in the trinity and without Him nothing will exist. All that God the Father
created through Jesus (the spoken word of God) was under the auspices of the
Holy Spirit.
JESUS
THE BAPTIZER
“I indeed baptize you
with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I,
whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost
and with fire. Matt. 3:11 KJV”
“But ye shall receive power,
after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…….. Acts 1:8 KJV”
The above scripture
disclosed that Jesus is one that baptizes believers with the Holy Ghost. He is
the baptizer of the believers. John the Baptist, baptized with water unto
repentance, Jesus baptizes believers and invade them with the Holy Spirit, thereby
bringing them into the supernatural. “But
ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…….. Acts 1:8
KJV.
Without Jesus, there is
no baptism of the Holy Spirit, this why the first condition to be baptizes with
the Holy Spirit is that you must be born again. “Even the Spirit of truth; whom
the world cannot receive…..John14:16 KJV”. No one outside of Christ can receive
the baptism of the Holy Spirit, Unbelievers cannot receive the baptism of the
Holy Ghost, and you must be regenerated by the cleansing blood of Jesus. A spiritual
rebirth must have taken place in you before you can be baptizes with the Holy
Ghost.
WHY
YOU NEED THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
All that God is, and
all that He is known for, are all under auspices of the Holy Spirit. Without
the Holy Spirit, God cannot do anything!
Just as the human body without the spirit and the soul is lifeless, so without
the Holy Spirit, God cannot do anything. God cannot separate Himself from His
Spirit. “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the
face of the waters. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the water. And
God said, Let there be light and there was light Gen. 1:2-3 KJV”. The Holy
Spirit had to move upon the face of the earth, before God said, let there be
light………. All that God created was under the auspices of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus could not begin
His ministry on earth not until He receive the Holy Spirit. “And the Holy
Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a
dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved
son; in whom I am well pleased. Luke 3: 22 KJV”.
The Holy Spirit is the
seal of God’s power in the life of a believer, without Him, no believer can
shows forth the glory of God on earth. He is the Spirit of truth and righteousness,
He reveals who God his to believers. He is the comforter that brings peace into
your life. He is one that reveals deeps and secret things of God to believers. He
knows all that God is and He really wants to reveal God to you!
If you need the baptism
of the Holy Spirit, prays this prayer.
Holy
Spirit, Spirit of the Living God invades my life by fire in Jesus mighty name,
Amen!!!
