And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which" He said, " you have heard from Me: "for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." Acts 1:4,5
And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which" He said, " you have heard from Me: "for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." Acts 1:4,5
Jesus was our example to follow as He was baptized in water by John and then the Holy Spirit came upon Him in the form of a dove, and He was baptized in the Spirit! This is the Promise of the Father, the Holy Spirit, given to all who would follow Jesus and ask for His anointing! Have you received the promise?
Without the baptism in the Spirit there can be no other supernatural gifts given because the Holy Spirit is the One who is the giver! The first New Testament Church received the promise from the Father and all of them were baptized in the Holy Spirit. Without this gift there would be no power to perform supernatural signs, wonders and miracles!
For us to become all that Jesus desired for His church we must receive His anointing and be trained, equipped and sent into the harvest! As Jesus Christ was in the earth so are we, His disciples, called to not only preach the gospel but to live it out in the power and anointing of Holy Spirit as His witnesses!
"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem; and in Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." Acts 1:8
