INFILLING POWER OF HOLY SPIRIT
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.”
Acts 1:8 NKJV
The day we were born again we received the indwelling power of Holy Spirit. This was the proof for us that God was in control over our lives. Jesus talked about the infilling power of the Holy Spirit, and asked them to tarry in Jerusalem until they receive the power from high.
The disciples of Jesus walked with Jesus three and half years, all this time Jesus was with them teaching things about the kingdom but still they needed the power to exercise their faith after Jesus had gone. They needed boldness to stand before the rulers of the Jews and the teachers of the law. They couldn't get this power without the Holy Spirit that's why some returned to their old schedule when Jesus was gone.
When the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all in one accord, in one place. Then Holy Spirit came to them as of a rushing mighty wind, and filling the whole house where they were sitting. This power was the one which enabled them to be the witness of the Gospel, it gave boldness before all who opposed the truth and changed the world upside down.
This morning, God wants you to know after you receive the indwelling power of Holy Spirit (the day which you were born again); you then need to receive the infilling power of Holy Spirit (Baptism of Holy Spirit). The evidence that you have received this infilling power of Holy Spirit, is that you will start speaking in tongues, speaking the new language from Heaven.
Speaking in tongues is the initial evidence that you have been filled with the Holy Spirit. This language will help you to improve your prayer life, will help you to build your most inner being because the Holy Spirit will be interceding to you according to the will of the Father.
This power will make you to be bold concerning the things of God. You will no longer feel shy to share the Gospel with unbelievers and loved ones. The Church of Christ needs this power, each one of us need to be baptize by the Holy Spirit, that we may receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The infilling power of Holy Spirit comes with gifts, and these gifts are the ones which equip the saints for the work of ministry and edifying the Body of Christ.
****Morning Prayer****
Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Word. Lord I'm asking that You may baptize me by your Spirit. Evident that baptism by giving me the gift of speaking in tongues. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
