How do I Receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit?

How do I Receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit? I strongly suggest that you read Hearing God 3 before delving into this post Acts 2:15 “for these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day “But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: And it shall come to pass in the Last days says God, that I will pour out of my spirit on all flesh…  Peter (by the Holy Spirit) said what happened in Acts 2 was a confirmation of Joel’s prophecy Notice God did not say I will pour out of My Spirit upon the first church, rather He said “ upon all flesh ”. Therefore, when God poured His Spirit upon the Apostles, He also poured Him upon you. The Holy Spirit has been given already . When you are given a gift, you don’t go asking for it again, you just receive it. So also, all you need to do is receive Him by faith. Remember, the first experience you must have of the Holy Spirit is receiving His indwelling presence. To receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, you

HEARING GOD 3

HEARING GOD 3 The challenge most believers face when it comes to the leading of the Spirit is that we are not able to differentiate between the voice of God in our hearts and when it is just us thinking. The first step here is to understand that there are two experiences every man should have of the Holy Spirit; the first is the born again experience where Christ comes to dwell in your heart in the person of the Holy Spirit. It is called the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit . As long as you are born again you have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you but then you need the second experience which is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This is the experience the apostles had on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2). This is also an experience of the infilling of the Holy Ghost . This experience ushers you into a higher level of the supernatural. It’s a place where you can commune with God more easily and clearly because you now carry in you the fullness of his spirit. The first evidence of t

HEARING GOD 2

John 16:13 says; However, when He, the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth…  The Holy Spirit is here to guide you into all truth. There is a truth about every aspect of your life. There is a truth about your academics; there is a truth about your health; there is a truth about your purpose on this earth and Jesus says the Holy Spirit will guide you into it . He will guide you into all truth not some truth. God never wants you confused in this life . The Holy Spirit is in you to lead you in your day-to-day activities just as Jesus was with His disciples day in day out. Take note that in the verse quoted above, Jesus says “He (the Holy Spirit) will guide you into all truth”. He did not say He will tell you all truth rather He will guide you into all truth. Most times we pray and wait for visions, dreams etc where God will give us the instructions word for word. Although, this sometimes happens but it will not always happen because Jesus already showed that, t

John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever Jesus said He will pray the Father and He will send us another comforter. The Word "another"  is translated from the Greek word ‘allos’ which literally means, ‘one of the same kind’. So when He said another comforter, He simply meant another comforter of the same kind with Him. The Holy Spirit is to us today all that Jesus was to His disciples . Whatever the disciples could get from Jesus while He was on earth, we can get from the Holy Spirit today. The Holy Spirit is to us today all that Jesus was to His disciples. No wonder Jesus said in Jn. 16:14: “He will glorify me. For He will take of that which is mine and declare it to you “all things that the Father has are mine. Therefore, I said that He will take of mine and declare to you.  The Holy Spirit today, is doing in us what Jesus did for His disciples while He was on the earth. If you wish you were on e

Victory is Possible

YES VICTORY IS POSSIBLE You can be victorious at all times As long as we are on earth, there will be challenges (trials and temptations) but God has designed things in such a way that we can live above them at all times. However, as boring as it may sound to some, it is still the truth, that faith in God ’ s Word is our only way out of these challenges. Faith is simply believing and acting on God ’ s Word. God desires that we get to a point where we literally float above life ’ s circumstances. He desires that we get to a place in our spiritual growth where, even though challenges keep coming increasingly; you can stand firm and not be moved by them . It will not be a one day thing. You won ’ t just get there in one day but it starts with a decision to maintain absolute confidence in God ’ s Word. You must make a decision to stop focusing on the snakes that bite you and focus rather on the brass serpent hung on a pole (Numbers 28:8, 9). " Looking unto Jesus, who is the
