As a Jesus Follower, the Greatest Witness for the Gospel that You Can Give Is for Others to See Jesus IN You MESSAGE SUMMARY: We live in a hurting world, but God wants more for you. You need to live as a Jesus Follower in whatever you do ā at home; in your job; in the way that you drive; and in the way that you treat your friends. To achieve God's desire for your life, you must stay in fellowship and communion with God; and you must let God work in your life. InĀ Colossians 3:17,Ā Paul challenges us: āAnd whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.ā. If you live your life, in all places and situations, in the name of Jesus, you will live a better life in our hurting world. As Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:31: āSo, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.". Remember, the greatest witness for the Gospel, as a follower of Jesus, that you can give is for others to see Jesus in you. Ā TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter.

Are You Committed to Spending Personal Relationship Time with God Through Prayer? (Video Sunday Sermon) MESSAGE SUMMARY: Praying with Perseverance (Fowery Parish; Cornwall, UK) INTRODUCTIOIN -- Prayer is: 1) spending time with God ā acknowledging God's presence in all our lives' activities; and 2) conversation with God ā listening to and talking with God. Prayer reflects on our relationship with God. Why don't we pray. The Apostle James, in James 4:2-3, provides a perspective regarding Prayer Life: āYou desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions." In praying, we should know the difference between prayers of "petition" (praying for one's own needs) and prayers of "intercession" (praying for the needs of others). God wants prayers of "petition" from us -- all our needs and concerns should be brought to Him in prayer because He loves and cares for us. However, God want us to, also, focus on others and their needs (intercession) -- physical and spiritual. "Intercessory prayerā is fundamental to deepening our prayer life and our personal relationship with God. SUNDAY MESSAGE ā Jesus' parable, in Luke 18:1-8, is about both faith and prayer. In this text from Luke, Jesus speaks about the power of persistent prayer. In Luke 18:1, Jesus tells us: āAnd he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.". In Luke 18:2-3, Jesus is speaking about an āunrighteous judgeā who is constantly appealed to, for justice, by a widow. For a while, this judge refused to hear the plea of this widow. However, because the widow was so persistent in her appeal, the judge the Judge hears the widow's appeal for justice: āFor a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, āThough I neither fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.'ā (Luke 18:4-5). In further comment regarding the message of His parable in Luke 18:6-8, Jesus tells us that persistence in both our faith and prayer matters greatly: āAnd the Lord said, āHear what the unrighteous judge says. And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?'". Additional lessons, that we can learn from this parable, include: 1) God is more ready to answer prayer than we are ready to pray; and 2) we must be persistent in our prayers until we have an answer. Pray specific prayers, in the Holy Spirit and in Scripture, for ourselves and for others -- be persistent. Ā TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen.Ā Ā Ā Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.

Pastor Kris Duerksen | Romans in Reverse (Part 5) | Romans 8: Filled With The Holy Spirit?
Many believers have questions about how to have "the anointing," and "how to increase the anointing."Ā "Do I need to do more prayer and fasting?" they may ask.Ā "How much?" Those who don't move in charismatic communities might even ask, "What is the anointing?" These are good questions.Ā Being anointed to do the work of Christ makes that work go so much more easily and be so much more fruitful.Ā Flowing with God is far more desirable than straining in your own strength. This is a podcast about the spiritual practices that increase the power of God working through us.Ā I mention verses about the baptism of the Holy Spirit (and also a little about the gifts of the Spirit) for further study.Ā Here they are: Matthew 3:11, Mark 1:8, Luke 3:16, John 1:33, Acts 1:5, 1:8, 2:1-4, 8:14-17, 9:10-19, 1 Corinthians 12:1-11, 14:1-19 There are certainly more verses about the Holy Spirit throughout the Bible.Ā Studying them along with studying all the healing stories of Jesus will prepare you for greater anointing and fullness with God.

To Be a Jesus Follower, You Must First Enter the Only Door to God's Kingdom and that Door is Jesus ā the Door to Eternal Life MESSAGE SUMMARY: In John 14:6, Jesus says: āI am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one come to the Father but through me.ā. In Luke 13:23-25, Jesus is asked a pivotal question; and Jesus responded: āAnd someone said to him, āLord, will those who are saved be few?' And he said to them, āStrive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, āLord, open to us,' then he will answer you, āI do not know where you come from.'ā. It is not that Jesus does not want all to be saved, it is just that the āgateā, to our Salvation and Eternal Life, is ānarrowā and difficult to enter. We enter Eternal Life through Jesus and Jesus alone, and so many miss this fundamental tenant of our Christian faith; and they miss knowing Jesus ā Jesus is the door, the narrow door. Neither Islam, nor Hinduism, nor just āmy personal religionā is the door ā Jesus is the only door. Ā TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, grant me wisdom and prudence to see the larger picture, to wait, and to discern the seasons in my life with you. Forgive me for fighting the ādeathsā you send into my life in order to plant something new. In Jesus' name, amen.Ā Ā Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 107). Zondervan.

Christians in the Church Must Become Christians in the Marketplace of Unbelievers MESSAGE SUMMARY: From the Gospel of Luke (10:1-20): Life Laborers Are Few Ā This āLife Lesson from Lukeā focuses upon the Apostle Luke in the context of āLuke the Evangelistā ā telling the good news of Jesus the Christ. Introduction:Ā Jesus, inĀ Luke 11:11-13, compares asking God versus an earthly father being asked by his son: āWhat father among you, if his son asks forĀ a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!ā. God desires to give to us before we even ask Him but ask, we must. Since we must ask for the Holy Spirit, it is good to begin our daily prayers with: āLord, fill me with the Holy Spirit.ā. FromĀ Luke 11:1-13, we have aĀ Life Lesson on Prayer. Life Laborers Are Few:Ā As Jesus sends the Seventy-two out on a mission trip (Luke 10:1-20), He tells them, inĀ Luke 10:2: āAnd he said to them, āThe harvest is plentiful,Ā but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.'". As in the First Century, today we can make the same observation as Jesus: āTheĀ harvestĀ is plentiful, but the laborers are fewāĀ ā where are the laborers for His Kingdom today? People all around us are in need. This passage fromĀ Luke 10:1-20Ā reveals God's plan and model for evangelism ā the ministry of the Gospel. Further, Jesus instructs us to: āpray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.ā ā God's harvest. This model for the ministry of the Gospel is not just for Clergy, this model is for all followers of Jesus. To meet the needs of today'sĀ plentiful harvest, the Christians in the Church must become the Christian in the marketplace pf unbelievers. To be effective in this plentiful marketplace, we must be ourselves and a willing vessel for God's will and for God to fill us with the Holy Spirit. Additionally, we must be a willing laborer for the ministry of the Gospel ā the harvest is plentiful.Ā Be God's hand!

Acts 6:9-15 What's in you will come out of you.Music used by permission:The PlanĀ fromĀ 2 For The Price of 1Ā by Holly Harris & Latresia Peak
When Jesus Asked You: āWhom do you say that I am?ā, Did You Answer Jesus: āYou are my God and the Lord of my Life!ā?Ā MESSAGE SUMMARY: The stories of the New Testament tell us that Jesus was no ordinary man. The Apostle John, in John 1:1-5, points out that Jesus, the Word, was the Creator of the Universe: āIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.". John tells us that Jesus had authority over nature, over creation, and over life itself, and he tells us that Jesus was the life-giver that came to earth for us. In John 20:26-29, Jesus asked the Apostle Thomas a fundamental question that Jesus asks you todayā āJesus said to him, āHave you believed because you have seen me?'ā: āThen he said to Thomas, āPut your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.' Thomas answered him, āMy Lord and my God!' Jesus said to him, āHave you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.'ā. When Jesus has asked you: āWhom do you say that I am?ā, and how did you answer? Did you tell Jesus: āYou are my God and the Lord of my Life!ā? Have you, in your life, become a Jesus Follower? If not, why not? Ā TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen.Ā Ā Scazzero, Peter.

Come Holy Spirit MESSAGE SUMMARY: Special Introduction ā The Spiritual Discipline of Giving:Ā We are challenged by God to bring our whole tithe into the storehouse (church) because God tells us that we cannot out give Him. After all, everything we have is from God. Our gifts to God should be from our first fruits and not our last fruits. Developing the discipline of returning our first fruits to God breaks the hold of materialism on our lives. Today's Message ā Come Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God Himself. The Holy Spirit is a presence of God in the Trinity of one God ā Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit indwells us, as our counselor, always pointing to Jesus in truth. People are not convicted and converted in their hearts and minds to become followers of Jesus without the Holy Spirit. Without the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in our churches, not much will be accomplished. It is impossible to be a Christian and to live the Christian life without the Holy Spirit. The character of Jesus' followers is manifested through their lives bringing forth the fruits of the Holy Spirit, as presented inĀ Galatians 5:22-23: āThe fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control . . .ā. Otherwise, our lives will only reflect the fruit of the flesh as presented inĀ Galatians 5:19-21: āNow the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy,Ā drunkenness, orgies, and things like these . . .". The Holy Spirit seeks to work through us in a way that those around us see the fruit of the Spirit and not the fruit of the flesh. What do people see when they look at Your life? As followers of Jesus, we need to live through God's gift to us of the power inherent in the Holy Spirit. Ā TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation.

Without the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in our churches, not much will be accomplished. It is impossible to be a Christian and to live the Christian life without the Holy Spirit. The character of Jesus' followers is manifested through their lives bringing forth the fruits of the Holy Spirit, as presented inĀ Galatians 5:22-23: āThe fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control . . .ā. Otherwise, our lives will only reflect the fruit of the flesh as presented inĀ Galatians 5:19-21: āNow the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy,Ā drunkenness, orgies, and things like these . . .". The Holy Spirit seeks to work through us in a way that those around us see the fruit of the Spirit and not the fruit of the flesh. What do people see when they look at Your life? As followers of Jesus, we need to live through God's gift to us of the power inherent in the Holy Spirit. Ā TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen.Ā Ā Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

2-6-22 - Sunday Evening Service-Pastor Rickey Clemons teaches on being Filled With The Holy Spirit in Acts 6 - 7.
The greatest need in the life of EVERY born again believer is to be FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, and to walk in the fullness therof. Regardless of your background in the church, the word of God is crystal clear about His reality, His role, and our desperate need for Him.
On Gratitude and Developing a Thankful Spirit MESSAGE SUMMARY:Ā Ā Overview from Being in Christ, Part 4 ā To Pray in Christ: Paul tells us in Philippians 4:7: āAnd the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.ā. When we put our issues into God's hands through prayer, then the peace of Christ will set up a guard around our hearts and minds. The peace of Christ sure beats anxiety. In Hebrews 4:16, it is reinforced, that after the coming of Jesus, we have direct access to God through prayer. Pray to the Father in the name of the Son ā praying in the name of Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit. In our prayers, we are to pray in petition and with thanksgiving. Sermon Today ā Developing a Thankful Spirit: To give thanks is something no follower of Jesus should need to be told. If we truly understood the price that Jesus paid for us and all that God has done for us throughout our lifetime, then we would have a true thankful spirit. However, we are human, and we still sin; we doubt; and we hurt. Therefore, we forget to be thankful; and God must remind us. In 1 Thessalonians 5:16, Paul presents several commands as āGod's will for us in Jesusā. Paul emphasizes that the followers of Jesus are joyful and always to rejoice in the Lord while praying continually. Paul exhorts us to be thankful in all circumstances. No matter what our lot or our situation is in life, we can always find something for which we should be thankful. God's will for us in Jesus is to be joyful always; pray continuously; and to give thanks in all circumstances. Also, Paul exhorts us not to quench the fire of the Holy Spirit in our lives by ignoring God's will for our lives. Ā TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation.

The indwelling of the Holy Spirit vs the empowering and infilling of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit matures us and give us the character of Christ. He leads us.Ā He comforts us and brings to life the Word Of God in us.Ā On baptism, on acceptance and commitment to Christ you receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.Ā The 2nd aspect of the Spirit is in 1 Cor 12-14 are the power gifts of the Holy Spirit, when His power is manifested through you in supernatural ways. You need to ask God for this in prayer. Seek God and yearn Him. Speaking in Tongues being an indication of the infilling of the Holy Spirit.

KINGS AND KINGDOMS Why do bad things happen to good people? If God is loving, why is human suffering possible? Does the weight of a great life fall on Godās sovereign control, or are there human factors involved too? In this preaching series, KINGS AND KINGDOMS, we will explore how God has delegated to individual believers a kingship, with responsibility to understand the principles that make the kingdom thrive. We will learn how to engage spiritual authority, how to defuse the emotional shame that drives a king to live like an indigent, and ultimately how to live like Godās royal people. If you have ever had questions of why āGod let this happen,ā you will find nurture, freedom and a deep sense of security from this series. Ā ROMANS 5:17 AMP For if because of one manās trespass (Adamās original lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [Godās] overflowing GRACE (unmerited favor) and the free GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS [putting them into right standing with Himself] REIGN AS KINGS IN LIFE through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). Ā CONSIDER THE QUESTION: If God delegated His rule on earth to His people, and His people are delinquent to those responsibilities, how much pain and sorrow have we unduly endured? How much of our understanding of God has been skewed? Ā WHAT IS SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY? The responsibility to rightfully govern and enforce justice. Ā WHAT DO WE HAVE AUTHORITY OVER?Ā 1.Ā Ā DEMONS 2.Ā Ā SICKNESS & DISEASE 3.Ā Ā NATURAL RESOURCES (BREAD, FISH, WINE, FINANCES) 4.Ā Ā INANIMATE OJBECTS (FIG TREE) 5.Ā Ā PHYSICAL THREATS (TERROR, NATURAL DISASTERS) 6.Ā Ā ANYTHING WE ARE REDEEMED FROM (DUET 28) Ā PREVIOUS WEEKS: 1.Ā Ā Godās Practical Sovereignty (Sept 8) 2.Ā Ā The Origins of Evil (Sept 15) 3.Ā Ā The Nature of Process Laws (Sept 22) 4.Ā Ā Activating Spiritual Authority (Sept 29) 5.Ā Ā The Authority in Declarations and Decrees (Oct 6) 6.Ā Ā The Authority in the Name of Jesus (Oct 20) pointe.info/sermons-archives Ā TODAYāS SERMON NOTES AUTHORITY BY THE HOLY SPIRITāS ANOINTING! Ā DOES EVERY CHRISTIAN POSSESS THE RIGHT AND PRIVILEGE OF SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY? Ā ACTS 1:8 NKJV (Jesus said) But you shall receive POWER when the HOLY SPIRIT has come UPON YOU; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Ā THERE IS A DEFINITE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AUTHORITY AND POWER. _______________________________Ā POWER WITHOUT AUTHORITY PRODUCES CHAOS. AUTHORITY WITHOUT POWER IS USELESS. Ā JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT POWER LUKE 4:16-21 NKJV And when Jesus had opened the book [of Isaiah], He found the place where it was written: 18 "The SPIRIT OF THE LORD [is] UPON ME, Because He has ANOINTED ME To PREACH the gospel to [the] poor; He has sent Me to HEAL the brokenhearted, To PROCLAIM LIBERTY to [the] captives And RECOVERY of sight to [the] blind, To SET AT LIBERTY those who are oppressed; 19 To PROCLAIM THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD." 20 Then He closed the book, and gave [it] back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." ACTS 10:38 NKJV (Peter preached) ā¦how God ANOINTED Jesus of Nazareth with the HOLY SPIRIT and with POWER, who went about DOING GOOD and HEALING all who were OPPRESSED by the devil, for GOD WAS WITH HIM. JOHN 14:9-18 AMPĀ Jesus replied, ā¦10 What I am telling you I do not say on MY OWN AUTHORITY and of My own accord; but the Father Who lives continually in Me does the (His) WORKS (His own MIRACLES, DEEDS OF POWER). 11⦠[If you cannot trust Me, at least let THESE WORKS THAT I DO IN MY FATHERāS NAME convince you.] 12Ā I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself BE ABLE TO DO THE THINGS THAT I DO; and he will do EVEN GREATER THINGS than these, because I go to the Father. 13Ā And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ASK IN MY NAME [as presenting all that I Am], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son. 14Ā [Yes] I will grant [I Myself will do for you] WHATEVER YOU SHALL ASK IN MY NAME [as presenting all that I Am]. ⦠16Ā And I will ask the FATHER, and He will give you another COMFORTER (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you foreverā 17Ā THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for HE LIVES WITH YOU [constantly] and WILL BE IN YOU. 18Ā I will not leave you as orphans [comfortless, desolate, bereaved, forlorn, helpless]; I will come [back] to you. ACTS 1:8; ACTS 2:1-4 NKJV (Jesus said) But you shall receive POWER when the HOLY SPIRIT has come UPON YOU; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. 2:1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and [one] sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Ā WE ARE ANOINTED 2 CORINTHIANS 1:21 NKJV Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has ANOINTED US [is] God⦠1 JOHN 2:20 NKJV But YOU have an ANOINTING from the Holy One, and you know all things. Ā WHEN TO ACTIVATE THE ANOINTING ALL PRAYER (FOR ANYTHING ā FOOD TO INTERCESSIONS) Ā DECLARING/DECREEING AUTHORITY OVER ANYTHING (THE DEVIL) (CIRCUMSTANCES) (RESOURCES) (MIRACLES) Ā CHRISTIANS, THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST, HAVE THE RIGHT AND THE PRIVILEGES TO ACTIVATE THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?

TODAYāS PREACHING 1 THESSALONIANS 5:19-21 KJV QUENCH (extinguish) NOT the (HOLY) SPIRIT. 20 DESPISE (displace or set aside, regard lightly, or not esteem) NOT prophesyings. 21 PROVE ALL THINGS; hold fast that which is good. JOHN 16:7 NKJV [Jesus said] Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to YOUR ADVANTAGE that I go away; for if I do not go away, the HELPER (Comforter, Counselor, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, and Standby) will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 2 CORINTHIANS 13:14 MSG The amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, the INTIMATE FRIENDSHIP of the HOLY SPIRIT, be with all of you. Ā DESIRE FOR HIM 1 CORINTHIANS 12:1, 31 NKJV Now concerning SPIRITUAL [gifts] (things pertaining to and of the Holy Spirit), brethren, I do not want you to be IGNORANT: ... 31 But EARNESTLY DESIRE the best gifts⦠1 CORINTHIANS 14:39-40 NKJV Therefore, brethren, DESIRE EARNESTLY to prophesy, and DO NOT FORBID to speak with tongues. 40 Let all things be done decently and in order. EARNESTLY DESIRE (covet) comes from the Greek word root ZELOS which means to be ZEALOUS or have warmth of feeling towards.Ā It is an intense desire! Here it refers to a positive energy pocket. Ā THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN The primary work of the Holy Spirit WITHIN YOU is to SUPPORT you in your own personal life; guidance, joys, peace, refreshment, help, counsel, comfort, etc. JOHN 14:16-17 KJV [Jesus said] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;Ā 17 ⦠for he dwelleth with you, and SHALL BE IN YOU. 2 CORINTHIANS 6:16 KJV [Paul said] ā¦as God hath said, I WILL DWELL IN THEM, and WALK IN THEM; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 1 JOHN 4:4 KJV [John said] ⦠greater is HE that is IN YOU, than he that is in the world. Ā THE HOLY SPIRIT UPON The primary work of the Holy Spirit UPON YOU is to EMPOWER you in WITNESSING Christ to your network of relationships. One of the most provocative, profound and heart-hitting statements used in Scripture about the Holy Spirit is ābaptized with the Holy Spirit.āĀ ACTS 1:4-5 NKJV And being assembled together with them, (Jesus) 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;Ā 5 for John truly BAPTIZED with water, but you shall be BAPTIZED with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." Ā MATTHEW 3:11-12 NIV (John the Baptist said) I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will BAPTIZE you with the HOLY SPIRIT and with FIRE. ACTS 2:1-4 KJV And when the DAY OF PENTECOST was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it SAT UPON each of them. 4 And they were all FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, and began to speak with other tongues, as the SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE.Ā Here we have another expression, āFILLED with the Holy Spirit,ā used synonymously with āBAPTIZED with the Holy Spirit.āĀ ACTS 10:44-46 NKJV While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit FELL upon all those who heard the word. 45 And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been POURED OUT on the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Peter himself describing this experience in Jerusalem, told the story in this way⦠ACTS 11:15-17 NKJV And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit FELL UPON them, AS UPON US at the beginning. 16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, 'John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be BAPTIZED with the Holy Spirit.'Ā 17 If therefore God gave them the SAME GIFT as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?" Here Peter distinctly called the experience which came to Cornelius and his household, being āBAPTIZED with the Holy Spirit.āĀ Thus we see that these expressions are all synonymous. āā¦FILLED with the Holy Spiritā¦ā (ACTS 2:4) āā¦the Holy Spirit FELLā¦ā (ACTS 10:44) āā¦BAPTISM with the Holy Spiritā¦ā (ACTS 11:16) ā ā¦God gave them the SAME GIFTā¦ā (ACTS 11:17) Other expressions are also used to describe this blessing, such as ⦠āā¦RECEIVE the Holy Spiritā¦ā (ACTS 2:38; 19:2-3), āā¦the Holy Spirit CAME UPON themā¦ā (ACTS 19:2-6) āā¦the GIFT of the Holy Spiritā¦ā (HEB 2:4; 1 COR 12:4, 11, 13) āI send THE PROMISE of my Father upon youā¦ā (LUKE 24:49; ACTS 1:4) And āCLOTHED WITH POWER from on highā¦ā (LUKE 24:49) Ā BENEFITS OF āTONGUESā It is a distinct communication with God Insightful praying about Godās plan for life Builds up, sharpens and edifies the inner life Expands worship to God Stimulates faith Along with several more spiritual benefits. Ā HOW TO ACTIVATE Genuinely desire all that the Holy Spirit is (no prejudice). Ask God for the baptism in the Holy Spirit and all His gifts. Take steps of faith to encounter Him (like you see in Scripture). Ā

Should Christians drink alcohol? Should Christians drink wine? Is wine evil? This passage from Ephesians 5 answers none of those questions and it is time we stop trying to make it say something it does not. It also does not imply that when a Christian is filled with the Spirit they will "act like a drunk". It also does not say that the amount of Holy Spirit we have is insufficient and we need a "second blessing" or a refill - Find out what Paul is trying to say when he reminds the Christians of Ephesus to "not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery, instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit". A little clue to help; it has little to do with you getting more Holy Spirit and a lot to do with the Holy Spirit getting more of you!

Many people have preconceived ideas about being filled with the Holy Spirit. Listen as Pastor Mark gives a Biblical explanation of what being filled with the Holy Spirit is. Afterall, it was normal for Christians according to the book of Acts.
God has a wonderful Plan for your life and has given us His Spirit to dwell within us, helping us to discover it. As we learn to yield to Him, He leads us into God's perfect will. Hilary encourages you to step out in faith with the help of the Spirit. One key is allowing Him to pray God's perfect will through us (Romans 8:26-28).
Hilary shares from Scripture and her experience about the Person, Work and Ministry of the wonderful Holy Spirit. We need to be filled with the Spirit and trust in His power WITHIN (for life and holiness) and UPON (for ministry). By partnering together with Him, drawing upon His life and wisdom, we become a Dynamic Duo.
