Baptized in the Holy Ghost

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale

A new Believer is placed in the Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit. He is baptized in water by the visible church.

Now that Believer needs to be baptized with the Holy Spirit, so he can be energized and supernaturally empowered to live the born-again life the way God wants it lived.

Acts 1:8 says: "“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."

Baptism in the Holy Spirit is an experience through which God empowers a believer for His service by filling him/her with the power of the Holy Spirit. This makes it vitally important for us to not only find out what our assignment from God is, but also to get a hold of His power so we can fulfill that task.

That is why we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit -- so we can operate in the same power and ability that God operates in. "“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".  - Romans 8:26-27.  The Holy Spirit will grant you utterance and boldness from today, in Jesus Name.

You will have good success this 2017.

Remain blessed.

Shalom
