1. Romans 10:8-13 But what saith it? The word is
nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that
is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou
shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and
shalt believe in thin heart that God hat raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the
heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For
the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him
shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference
between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord
over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved. Believe, confess and call.
2. Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do
not the things which I say? Obey Him
3. Hebrews 5:8-9 Though he were a Son, yet
learned he obedience by the things which he
suffered; And being made perfect, he became the
author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey
him. Salvation unto all them that obey him .
4. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent,
and be baptized every one of you in the name of
Jesus Christ fro the remission of sins, and ye shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Repent, be
baptized and receive the Holy Ghost.
EIGHT STEPS LEADING TO THE BAPTISM IN THE
HOLY SPIRIT
1. Acts 1:4 And, being assembled together with
them, commanded them that they should not depart
from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the
Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. The
promise of the Father.
2. Acts 2:38-39 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. The promise is for everyone.
3. Luke 11:9-13 And I say unto you, Ask, and it
shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,
and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that
asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and
to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son
shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he
give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a
fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg,
will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil,
know how to give good gifts unto you children: how
much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy
spirit to them that ask him? Ask.
4. Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What
things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that
ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Believe
you have it and you do.
5. Acts 10:44-46 While Peter yet spake these
words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard
the word. And they of the circumcision which
believed were astonished, as many as come with
Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured
out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them
speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then
answered Peter. The evidence (for they heard them
speak).
6. I Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown
tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is
unfruitful. My spirit prays (I speak) but my
understanding is unfruitful (I don't know what I am
saying).
7. Jude 20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves
on you most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.
Pray daily
8. Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth
our infirmities: for we know not what we should
pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh
intercession for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth
what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh
intercession for the saints according to the will of
God. The Spirit maketh intercession for us.
RECEIVING THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
Scripture
Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that
believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they
shall speak with new tongues.
Acts 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye
shall be baptized with the Holy ghost not many days
hence.
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost,
and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit
gave them utterance.
Acts 11:15-17 And as I began to speak, the Holy
Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. Then
remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he
said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall
be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Forasmuch then as
God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who
believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I
could withstand God?
Acts 19:1-6 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos
was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the
upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain
disciples, He said unto them Have ye received the
Holy ghost since ye believed? And they said unto
him, We have not so much as heard whether there
be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto
what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto
John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily
baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying
unto the people, that they should believe on him
which should come after him, that is, on Christ
Jesus. when they heard this, they were baptized in
the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid
his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them;
and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
James 2:17 Even so faith if it hath not works, is
dead, being alone.
1. Believe GOD'S WORD which promises you the
HOLY SPIRIT (Acts 2:38-39).
The terms baptism, filled and gift of the HOLY
SPIRIT are used similarly (Acts 1:5, 2:4, 10:45,
11:15-17).
2. Ask for the baptism with the HOLY SPIRIT (Luke
11:9-13).
3. Confess that you have received the HOLY SPIRIT
by faith (Mark 11:24).
Say: HEAVENLY FATHER, on the authority of your
promise, I now ask for, and by faith receive, the gift
of the HOLY SPIRIT, IN JESUS' NAME.
4. Act on your faith (James 2:17).
The scriptural evidence of having received the
baptism with THE HOLY SPIRIT is the sign of
speaking with a new tongue (Acts 2:4, 10:44-46,
19:1-6; Mark 16:17). In Acts 2:4 we read
They...began to speak with other tongues, as the
SPIRIT gave them utterance. GOD fills you, but you
must begin to speak. Determine not to speak a word
of English at this time (for you cannot speak two
languages at once). Lift up the sound of you voice
and THE HOLY SPIRIT will give you utterance in a
new language supernaturally.
Do not be concerned about what to say, as the
language is spoken supernaturally and does not
come through the mind or intellect, but through your
spirit quickened by THE HOLY SPIRIT. In faith, put
your speech faculties into operation (vocal chords,
tongue, lips) as in speaking any language, and THE
HOLY SPIRIT, now indwelling you, will give the
utterance.
Remember, receiving THE HOLY SPIRIT is an act of
faith, and this promise is to be appropriated in the
same way as all GOD's promises are, such as
salvation, healing, etc. Some who have not
understood this fact have failed to receive because
they were looking for some feeling, emotional
experience, or special anointing before they would
believe they had received THE HOLY SPIRIT. We
are to receive THE HOLY SPIRIT by faith, and as we
act on our faith, the evidence and assurance will
follow.
