Today:

The only thing I want to do with the Help of the Holy Spirit, is to show you how to connect with the Holy Spirit… How to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit… my approach will be simple today:

I will explain a little bit, the concept of baptism

A case study of the upper room

what about you?

Text: ; , act 1:4-8

John foretold the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

According to John, Jesus would be the baptizer in the Holy Spirit.

John compared water baptism to the baptism of the Holy Spirit: we have to pay attention to the word used by John here: baptize is a simple greek word transffered into the english language by bible translators: with the root word being - “baptizo,”

The root word simply mean to “dip something into water or a liquid, to completely submerge it under the liquid”

Baptism in the new testament was understood to be by complete immersion in water.

Those who went to be baptized by john in the Jordan river were simply dipped into the water until they were completely covered with the water - Apostle Paul, explained the spiritual Science behind this simple act of obedience to the commandment of the Lord as meaning being burried together with Jesus in his death : When you bury a man, you put them under the ground completely.

To be baptized in the Holy Spirit can mean to be completely overtaken by the Holy Spirit, to be drenched in him like a water.

This is what is expected to happen, but, most of us are still struggling with him, so we are in control and he is silent… you are meant to be dead in yourself, and allow the Holy Spirit to bring you back up to fullness of life in Christ Jesus.

Act 2:32-33

act 2:38

Peter gave us, what I can call steps to baptism in the Holy Spirit.

Repent and be baptized: repentance from sin and dead works, and the first baptism that he mentioned here, is simply the water baptism - this step is necessary for believers to publicly identify with the Lord Jesus Christ.

and two, to obey the commandment of the Lord.

Foremost:

There is need for your sins to be forgiven first of all.

clearly what peter is saying is simple: “an unbeliever can not be baptized in the Holy Spirit” you can not be living in your sin and think you will receive Holy Spirit “this gift is promised to only believers - it is one of those promises of the scripture that is limited by identity”

And Ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost: Two words are immediately clear in Peters statement: 1) you shall receive 2) the gift of the Holy Ghost:

You are to simply take the delivery of a gift that is being offered to you by Jesus Christ… You are not to work for it, you are simply to desire him and ask the right person for the gift - he is offered as a gift, simply position yourself to receive him into your heart:

Finally, Peter said: the promise include you.

in case you are wondering whether or not the baptism of the Holy Spirit is still happening today… peter said, as long as God is adding people to his kingdom, he will keep pouring his spirit on them.

Before the time of John, there was an old testament prophecy by a prophet named Joel, regarding the Holy spirit baptism: joel 2:28
