KNOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT 4-28-19 VIDEO DEEP THOUGHTS ON FIRE
Receive the Holy Spirit He will come upon you. You will receive power. The Holy Spirit is moving upon us to demonstrate His power, His love, His boldness. The Spirit is in us but He will also move upon us. We must ask. We can speak with wisdom and authority. It is coming in a manifestation of fire. The fire the Holy Spirit. Those in the upper room were to receive the same. They were to be bold, courageous, without fear. Baptism of fire.
A soldier arrives at the battle– with the new employee arrives at work–we have all the information about what’s going to happen but no experience. It’s the hands on experience that takes us from heaven knowledge to the experience so it is with the baptism of fire and the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit flows from us like rivers of living water. The Holy Spirit was breathed into them by Jesus when they were hiding in fear. They were commissioned to forgive sin. The Holy Spirit is the gift promise by the Father. The body can’t function without him. As you read the book of Acts you will see the Apostles were filled with the person (the gift from the Father). They transferred this Gift to others and went with the Holy Spirit to travel and preach the Gospel. They like Jesus were fully controlled by the Holy Spirit. This is how the church operates.
