RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Regardless of where you are today in your spiritual walk, continue to go after the Lord! One way you can press in to be closer than you ever have before is by adding the baptism of the Holy Spirit to your life.
First, be sure you have truly made Jesus your Lord and Savior.
Second, believe that this is a biblical promise God wants you to have.
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you,
in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.
And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—
for all whom the Lord our God will call.
Acts 2:38–39 (NIV)
Third, ask God to baptize you in the Holy Spirit and expect to receive it. God always answers the heart that seeks Him, and He delights in answering our prayers!
Father, in the name of Jesus, I recognize my need for Your power to live this new life. Please baptize me with Your Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, You are welcome in my life. By faith, I receive You right now! Thank you, Father, for filling me with Your Holy Spirit!
Fourth, expect to speak in tongues right now! Remember that it is the Holy Spirit who forms the language, but you have to do the talking—so open your mouth, move your tongue, and stop speaking in your natural language. As you yield yourself to the Lord, speak out any unusual sounds or syllables without worrying what you sound like.
Remember, your heavenly Father wants you to have all the supernatural power you need to live this new life!
