Title: The promise is for you.
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written,
Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ;
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” Galatians 3:13-14 KJV.
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you
in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For the promise is unto you, and to your children,
and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” Acts 2:38-39 KJV.
Point of Reflection: The greatest blessing, the greatest thing that Almighty God has allowed us to experience,
is being filled with the Holy Spirit.
That is why even Jesus Christ himself said it was expedient for Him to go away
into heaven because if He did not go the Holy Spirit could not be given to us. (John 16:7).
Jesus Christ goes further when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you will know that He (Jesus Christ) is in you:
"At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.” John 14:20 KJV.
He goes further to say in John 14:21 that by the Holy Spirit,
you will experience a manifestation of God.
His word says further in 1 Corinthians 12:7 "But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.”
Manifest means a perceptible, outward, or visible expression- one of these expressions of the Holy Spirit is speaking in tounges
It is the desire of God that His Holy Spirit manifests through you for the benefit of all.
You need to desire spiritual gifts and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. (1Corinthians 14:1).
Jesus Christ is present in your life by His Spirit, the Holy Spirit.
The greatest experience of God you can ever have is in being filled with the Holy Spirit.
God will manifest Himself to you.
Almighty God promised you the Holy Spirit- because it is the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
and can only be received in the name of and by the authority of Jesus Christ-
you can only receive it after acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord of your life.
The promise is for you, your little ones and those afar off as many as the Lord will call (Acts 2:39).
Jesus Christ was cursed on the tree- so that you can receive the promised greatest blessing- the Holy Spirit. (Galatians 3:14).
When it happens you will know God is in you! Glory be to God.
Steps for receiving the Holy Spirit:
Acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of your life
Renounce, denounce and reject the enemy satan, his demons and every form of demonic influence in your life.
Ask the Father to fill you with the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ. (Luke 11:13).
Receive the Holy Spirit by faith in the promise of Almighty God.
(Remember that speaking in tongues is one of the most powerful tools
you have been given as it allows the Holy Spirit to pray through you).
Do you desire it?
When you are ready-
Prayer:
Father in heaven in the name of Jesus Christ I thank you for redemption through the sacrifice of your Son Jesus Christ.
Thank you for the blood He shed on the cross and for salvation through His name.
I denounce every working of the enemy satan, his demons and every demonic influence upon my life
and acknowledge Jesus Christ as my Lord. I ask you Father
in the name of Jesus Christ to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now.
I receive the abundant outpouring of your Holy Spirit upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.Thank you God for hearing me in Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
