************* I will now explain how you can receive the "Baptism of the Holy Spirit", which will enhance your entire walk with the Lord. ************* First, you must understand that the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Day of Pentecost. You don't have to tarry, plead or beg for this gift. All you have to do is receive. THE BIBLE SAYS: IN 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". ************* Secondly, the only qualification for receiving the gift of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is that you must be born again. As the righteousness of God you have a right to receive this gift. THE BIBLE SAYS: IN 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". ************* Third, it is scriptural to expect to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit after the laying on of hands. THE BIBLE SAYS: IN Acts 8:17 Then laid they hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. ************* Fourth, the Holy Spirit will give the utterance but you must provide the voice. THE BIBLE SAYS: IN Acts 2:4 "and they were filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to Speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance". ************* Fifth, you must disregard any fears that come from foolish teachings that said you might receive a counterfeit. God is Righteous and He will not give you a bad gift. THE BIBLE SAYS: IN 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? Orif he asks for a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? ************* Sixth, you must open your mouth wide and speak as an act of faith to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It is as though you are drinking a glass of water. You cannot drink water with your mouth closed. ************* Please raise both of your hands and repeat after me. ************* Our Father in the Name of Jesus,/ I understand that the Gift of the Holy Spirit/ was poured out on the Day of Pentecost./ I also understand that/ I don't have to tarry, plead or beg for this gift/ that all I have to do is receiven it./ Father, I am born again therefore,/ as the righteousness of God/ I have a blood bought right/ to receive this gift./ I expect to receive this gift/ after the laying on of hands/ and what I expect is/ for the Holy Spirit to give me the utterance/ as I provide the voice./ I disregard any fear/ that came from foolish teachings/ saying I will receive a counterfeit gift./ For I know that you are a righteous God/ and you will not give me a bad gift./ As an act of my faith/ I will open my mouth wide and speak/ and I will receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit/ with evidence of speaking in tongues./ In the Name of Jesus I pray./ Amen! ************* As I speak in tongues allow the Holy Spirit to move you to do the same.
