Intro
Text - Acts 19.1-2
Background
Paul meets a group of “disciples” in Ephesus
they believde in Jesus Christ
they do not know anything about the Holy Spirit!
These “disciples” were with Apollos, a Jew born in Alexandria (Egypt).
He was mighty in Scriptures.
He was instructed in the way of the Lord
He was fervent in spirit
He taught the things of the Lord accurately
He was an evangelist
The Main Point
Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?
(KJV)
The Holy Spirit is God’s gift to the believer!
Every believer of God is entitled to this gift.
Apparently, there are “believers” in the church who have not yet received their entitlement!
Sermon Points
Why is Paul’s question important?
What is the connection of “faith” and the “baptism of the Holy Spirit”?
Faith is God’s “open door” into your heart!
Faith is our access to God (our most common understanding)
when we believe, all things are possible
when we believe, we are able to see the glory of God (Jesus to Martha)
The reverse is also true - Faith is God’s access to our lives!
when we believe, God is able to do things in our life
Ex.
Mark 6.1-6 - Jesus COULD NOT do mighty works in Nazareth because of the people’s unbelief
When we believe, God is able to give to us what we need most - the Holy Spirit!
Faith should be complemented with the right knowledge
Notice: the disciples of John have not heard about the coming of the Holy Spirit!
You can only believe what you have heard!
You can only speak what you believe!
Notice- the disciples “lacked knowledge”.
Their understanding of the Scripture was not enough to bring them to the baptism of the Holy Spirit!
You can only RECEIVE what your BELIEVE!
If you don’t believe in “something” why would God give it to you?
so when you pray, believe that you receive them!
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is for the believer only!
If you believe It, ASK FOR IT, and you will receive It!
How do I know that I have received the Holy Spirit when I believed?
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a REAL experience!
It is an ACTUAL EXPERIENCE before it is an INTELLECTUAL KNOWLEDGE
the disciples waited for 10 days, and received the baptism!
the thousands of Jews on that day gave witness to their experience
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is POWERFUL experience!
Jesus warned His disciples!
The power was demonstrated in their tongue!
they spoke with other tongues
they prophesied!
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a THIRSTING experience!
Once you have received the baptism, you’ll want to experience It again and again!
why do people want to get drunk again and again?
being filled with the Holy Spirit makes you happy!
being filled with the Holy Spirit makes your bold/strong!
Being filled with the Holy Spirit makes your thankful to God
Being filled with the Holy Spirit makes you submit to one another in the fear of God!
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a complete experience with God!
You will experience IT in your Body, in your Spirit, and in your Soul!
Conclusion
Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?
If you answered NO -
believe and ask God for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit!
If you answered YES -
you can experience the FILLING again and again
THE FILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS AN EXPCLUSIVE PRIVILEGE FOR ALL OF GOD’S CHILDREN!
