Matthew 10:1,5,8
He (while Jesus was still alive) called His 12
disciples to Him & gave them authority to drive out evil spirits & to heal every
disease &
sickness...
These 12, Jesus sent out with the following instructions...
"Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who
have leprosy, drive out demons."
However, God's Holy Spirit baptism gives resilience and boldness.
Jesus' disciples did healing ministry, but at least on one occasion were
intimidated when it came to deliverance. Jesus had to finish the job they
left undone - apparently NOT due to the disciples' NOT receiving 2 gifts of the
Holy Spirit (healing and evil spirit discernment/exorcism), but perhaps rather
due to fear, which for many is a spirit of fear. The disciples apparently were
water baptized for the remission of their sins after acknowledging Jesus as
Messiah. Subsequently they went in pairs to heal, deliver & do miracles BEFORE Pentecost when the Holy Spirit baptism
came. Judas & Peter both hand picked by Christ were traitors before the
Holy Spirit baptism which gives boldness... Remember Adam & Eve had ALL
authority on earth & Satan tricked them out out of that until Jesus came & retrieved the power Adam abdicated.
Genesis 3 + Matthew 4:8-9 + Matthew 28:18 - Remember, Isaac was deceived by his younger son Jacob who stole his elder
brother Esau's birthright?
Genesis 25:29-34 - Our enemy Satan the con artist intends that we
remain ignorant and impotent sons
of God.
After the
death of Jesus when the Comforter came, there was a turnaround, evidenced
especially by Peter (who denied his affiliation with Jesus - 3
times).
The Holy Spirit empowered them with audacity & violence
towards the enemy.
Mark 9:17-19,25,28-29 TPNT -
17"Teacher,
I brought my son to You because he has a mute (dumb)
spirit.
18Wherever it would seize him him it throws him down.
He foams
at the mouth & gnashes his teeth & is stiff
(pines/wastes away).
I asked Your disciples to cast
it out, but they were not able."
19He said, "O
unbelieving generation, until when will I be with you?
How long am I to
endure you?
Bring him to Me."
25Jesus...rebuked
the unclean (foul) spirit by saying to it, "Mute &
deaf spirit, I command you; you must come out from him at once & never again can you enter
into him."
28His disciples asked Him
privately, "Why were we not able to cast it out?"
29He
said to them,
"This kind is in no way able to come out
except in prayer (& fasting)."
Each individual in each generation needs to recognize the implication of Jesus'
words spoken on the cross, "It is finished."
[What is finished? Jesus' regaining/taking back authority & power over
everything: death, disease, incurable diseases, insanity.
However, we cannot access that spiritual reality until we do 2 things.
Believe & ask.
Believe in Jesus as savior of body, mind & spirit. Believe
in Jesus as baptizer in the Holy Spirit.
Repent of each & every known sin.
Ask Jesus to come live in our heart. Ask Jesus to baptize us in His Holy
Spirit.
Thank Him based on His Word in scripture & not based on
our 5 senses' perception.
Allow Holy Spirit time to download spiritual
realities into our human spirit & then our human spirit to download into our
mind/intellect & into our body.
Continue to trust His adoption of us even
though we may not immediately feel adopted.
Continue to trust the work of
His Holy Spirit in our human spirit.
Continue to feed our human spirit
with the Word of God daily.
Continue to fellowship with Him daily in
prayer & praise. Continue to fellowship with other Christians...
Post Script: An "act" may be necessary to SEAL the deal. That is
WATER BAPTISM.
Emerson Ferrell contends (along with many others) that one
needs to be immersed 3x
in the name of the Trinity.
If in doubt, do it anyway. Be safe, not sorry.

BC Scripture
before the birth of Messiah
Isaiah
6l:1-2 Harkavy 1The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
because He hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek.
He hath sent
Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captive & the deliverance
to them that are bound;
2to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, & the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all that mourn.
Scripture before the death & resurrection of Messiah
Before the Messiah sent His Holy Spirit
Matthew 10:1,5,8 -
He (while Jesus was still alive) called His 12
disciples to Him & gave them authority to drive out evil spirits & to heal every disease & sickness...
These 12, Jesus sent out with the
following instructions,
"...Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who
have leprosy, drive out demons."
Matthew 28:18-19 NIV - Jesus came to them & said, "All
authority in heaven & on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father & of the Son AND of the Holy Spirit."
Mark 16:14-18 -
Later (after Jesus'
resurrection from the dead) Jesus appeared to the 11 as they were eating.
He rebuked them for their lack of faith & their stubborn refusal to believe
those who had seen Him after He had risen. He said to them. "Go
into all the world & preach the good news to all creation.
Whoever believes
AND is baptized (immersed)
will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned (by Satan & by their unforgiven sin).
These signs will
accompany those who believe: In My name:
(1st)They will drive out
demons.
(2nd)They will speak in new tongues.
(3rd)They will pick up snakes
with their hands.
(4th)When they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at
all.
(5th)They
will place their hands on sick people & they will
get
well."
After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was taken up into
heaven and He sat at the right hand of God.
Then the disciples went
out & preached everywhere, & the Lord worked with them & confirmed His word by
the signs that accompanied it.
Luke 4:18-19
The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me (me)
to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me
(me) to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty
to the captives & recovery of sight to the
blind, to set at liberty
those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable
year of the Lord.
(Spiritual insight: The Trinity/Jesus/the Holy Spirit
in me is God at work in the earth.)
John 1:19-20, 25-26, 33-34 KJV Dake
19The Jews sent priests and Levites from
Jerusalem to ask him "Who art thou?"
20He confessed and denied not; but
confessed, "I am not the Christ"...
25They asked him, and said unto him, "Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not
that Christ, nor Elias (Elijah in Greek), neither that prophet (Elisha/Eliseus
in Greek)?
26John answered them saying, "I baptize with water"...
33"He that sent me to baptize with water, the Same said unto me", 'Upon
Whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, & remaining on Him, the same is He
which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.'"
34 I saw, and bare record that this (Person) is the Son of God."
John 20:19-23 On the evening of that first day
of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of
the Jews, Jesus came (through the locked door) & stood among them & said,
"Peace be with you." After He said this, He showed them His (crucified)
hands & side.
The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, I am
sending you."
He breathed on them & said, "Receive the Holy
Spirit.
If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven
(released from apologizing & debt owed, but not free to abuse).
If you (retain) do not forgive them, they are
(retained) not forgiven."
Now Thomas (called Didymus) 1 of the 12, was not with the disciples
when Jesus came.
Acts 1:4-5 TPNT -
4At one of these
gatherings [apparitions/appearances (during 40 days) after His death], He
instructed them NOT to leave Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) but to 'Wait
for what the father promised, which you heard about
from Me.
5For Yochanan (John)
used to immerse people in water;
but in a few (10) days
(at the feast of
Pentecost), you will be immersed in the Ruach HaKodesh
(Holy Spirit).'
Scripture after the resurrection of Messiah
After the descent of God's Holy Spirit
Acts 2:16-18 TPNT -
16This is what was spoken about through the prophet
Yoel (Joel;
see Psalm 69:25-26; 109:8)
17Adonai says, 'In
the last days I will pour our from My Spirit upon everyone.
Your sons & daughters will prophesy;
your young men will see visions;
your old men will dream dreams.
18Even
on My slaves, both men and women, will I pour out
from My Spirit in those days, & they will
prophesy.'
Acts 2:38 KJV - Repent and be baptized every one of you in
the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins &
ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:33 TPNT - He has been exalted to the right hand of God;
has received from the Father what He promised namely, the Ruach HaKodesh; and
has poured out this (heavenly holy) gift (of the baptism in the Holy Spirit
evidenced at Pentecost), which you are both seeing (witnessing the appearance of
drunkeness or being slain/inebriated in the Holy Spirit) & hearing
(others
speaking foreign and/or angelic languages/tongues).
Acts 2:38-39 TPNT - Kefa (Peter) answered them, "Turn from sin (cited
in the Torah), return to God (of Abraham & Moses) & each of you be
immersed; on the authority
of Yeshua (Jesus Christ God's son) the Messiah
into forgiveness of your sins; & you will receive the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh
(Holy Spirit).
39For the promise is for you, for your children, and for
those far away, as many as Adonai our God may call."
Acts 2:41 TPNT - Those who accepted what he said were immersed
(under
water/baptized)
& there were added to the group that day about 3,000.
Acts 6:3-6 TPNT - 3"You brothers must now provide 7 approved men from
yourselves, (already) filled (baptized) with the (Holy) Spirit & wisdom, whom we could appoint for this
(specific ministry) need.
4We
shall persist in prayer and in the service of the Word."
5The request pleased the whole multitude and they chose Stephen, a man full of
faith & the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochoros, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas & Nicolas, a
proselyte from Antioch,
6whom they
stood before the apostles; when they prayed,
they laid hands on them
(to commission/empower/appoint them).
Acts 8:14-17 - 14When the apostles in
Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God (Jesus as
Messiah), they sent Peter &
John to them.
15When they arrived, they prayed for them that they might
receive the Holy Spirit,
16because the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any
of them;
they
had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
17Then Peter & John placed their hands on them & they received the Holy
Spirit (baptism).
Acts 8:13-17 TPNT - 13Even Simon
(a powerful practicer of magic arts) himself believed & after he was baptized
(with water for the repentance of sins), he was attaching himself to Philip.
He
was amazed when he saw that there were signs & great miracles.
14When
the apostles in Jerusalem hard that the Samaritans welcomed the Word of God,
they sent Peter & John to them,
15,who when they went down from
Jerusalem, prayed
on their behalf to the end that they would take the Holy
Spirit:
16for not yet was it fallen upon any of them, but they were only
being baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
17Then Peter & John were laying hands on them & they were taking the Holy
Spirit.
(evidenced by speaking in tongues. The skill of transference was coveted
by Simon.
See Acts 8:18-24.)
[TPNT footnote. "The laying on of hands for the baptism comes from
this.
See Acts 19:6.
Notice that those prayed for (took) the Holy Spirit.
The baptism of the
Holy Spirit must be sought."]
(Not bought.
Also consider that the 3 names of the Trinity may need to
be invoked, eg. in the name of the Father, the Son & Holy Ghost, not just in
the Messiah's name.)
Acts 10:44-47 NIV - 43Everyone
who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.
44While Peter was still speaking these
words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message...
46For they heard
them speaking in in tongues & praising god.
Then Peter said,
47"Can anyone keep these people from being
baptized with water"...in the name of Jesus Christ.
Acts 19:2 KJV - "Have ye received the Holy Ghost
since ye believed?"
Acts 13:2-4 KJVer - 2As they ministered TO the Lord & fasted, the Holy Ghost said, "Separate
Me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereto I have called them."
3When they had fasted, prayed, & laid
their hands on them, they sent them away.
4So
they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed.
Romans 10:17 KJV Faith cometh by hearing...the Word of God.
James 1:6-7 KJV - Let him ask in faith, nothing
wavering.
He that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind
& tossed.
Let not that man think that he
shall receive anything
of the Lord.
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
James 4:17 KJV - To him that knoweth to do good & doeth it not, to him it is sin.
1st Peter 1:1-2 - Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, "To God's elect, strangers in the world, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ & sprinkling by His blood.

We have a rich heritage that seems to have been erased from our textbooks.
God intends that we too walk not in their foot steps, but in His foot steps.

Allen, AA - The Price of God's Miracle Working Power -
www.schambach.org
- The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the 2nd intervention of God into man's
spirit, the 1st being the baptism of water for the forgiveness & removal of sin and iniquity.
This
qualifies us to receive the fruit and gifts of the Holy Spirit, as we pursue and
worship Jesus on a daily basis.
As we daily plug into Him, He releases His
power & glory into our lives, but only daily, like
the daily manna in the dessert.

(Discusses Lutheran confirmation vs German secular/political
confirmation.)
http://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1045&context=younghistorians
pg 11-12 - "The Communist Party provided secular alternatives to religious
goods, & great enough benefits from these alternatives that they proved
challenging to pass up.
It did not only require party members to renounce
religion & conform to scientific atheism, but it inspired this sentiment in
youth. Christians have Confirmation, Jews have Bar & Bat Mitzvahs, and
members of the Communist Party had the atheist Jugend-weihe. Jugend-weihe
was a mandatory consecration ceremony for 14-year-old East German
youth, confirming them as a socialist citizen:
it provided a substitute for the
religious goods found in religions like Christianity & Judaism.48
As preparation for this ceremony, youth were taught the 2 fundamental
worldviews: 'Materialistic scientific,' a progressive ideology, or atheism, &
'idealistic unscientific,' an irrational ideology that puts a brake on human
progress, or religion.49 In the
ceremony, the youth pledged themselves to scientific socialism. Jugend-weihe
became a requirement for access to higher education
and good jobs.
Though church leaders protested that it violated the First Commandment, by the
1980’s 97% of children participated in Jugend-weihe, while only around a
5th were religiously confirmed.50 ...This
dominance of atheism in East Germany materialized primarily within the span of
1945-1989, or the reign of the German Democratic Republic.3

Baker, Rolland and Heidi - There Is Always Enough -
www.irismin.com -
The Bakers share with us
that demons often manifest themselves during baptism by water immersion after
the children are saved at their mission, dump ministries, or street ministries.
After gentle prayer, the baptized children are delivered & often pray in tongues.
Baker, HA - Visions Beyond the Veil -
www.irismin.com - True stories of the
Adullam Rescue Mission, Yunnafu, China, where God visited personally ALL the
children ages 6-18 & baptized them with His Holy Spirit.
This book shows how the Holy Spirit bypasses the mind (soul) to work as a spirit
using our bodies, the same way that sometimes an evil spirit works. An eye
opener. Baker shares that prophetic preaching is the mouth speaking in
tongues (bypassing the mind), with interpretation following.

Chapter 11 Activating Prophetic Destiny is a "must

Ezekiel 2:7, 3:4; Revelation 10:2,8; Jeremiah 29:11 & Hebrews 10:7..."Father I
want to eat the scroll. I want to eat pages from my book of the future
that will become knowledge - the when, where and how of my destiny. Show
me the title of my book...What page & chapter am I in?
How many books are written about me? Show me what's coming in my
(Your) ministry. Show it to me like You unrolled the
scroll for Ezekiel. I want to eat the book I want an impartation
that becomes knowledge...I'm waiting for commissioning and new mantles.
Let the scrolls come now.
I thank You for the books
of remembrance and of
the future. I commit myself to both." In Jesus name.
Amen.

Bertolucci, Father John - On Fire with the Spirit - St
Francis Assoc for Catholic Evangelism, POBox 8000, Steubenville, Ohio, USA 43952
- Autobiography. Father insists that as a certified college professor,
priest, chaplain, and pastoral counselor, he would be disqualified - without the
baptism in the Holy Spirit - & end up with human results rather than God's.
He also notes that the short time after the Holy Spirit baptism is the honeymoon
period. He says this baptism is a must for each of us, not only for priests &
revered saints.
He was privileged to be prayed over by Kathryn Kuhlman in
Jerusalem. He remarks that only one who has a personal relationship with Christ
can evangelize & explain to others their need for a personal relationship with
Jesus; one cannot share what he does not have.
You cannot share a loaf of bread
if you have no bread. The spirit of Christ is contagious, like a virus & not taught.

Spirit

Chapter 1 Three Pillars of Wisdom "You can be
absolutely sure that God has something for you to do NOW and a special
privileged place in which to put you...There is a job to suit you (now) & a
job for which you are being prepared...God gives us the power to do what He commands.
That power comes through
the baptism with the Holy Spirit."
Chapter 2 God Has Taken the Field "To claim to possess
the Holy Spirit & deny the very work which has always distinguished Him
can only grieve Him...1 filling of the Spirit is not lasting or enough. We
need to keep coming for a repeat experience - 'many fillings'...
John plainly
announced the purpose of Christ - to baptize men and women in the Spirit (Luke
3:16)...Christ is called the Baptizer because that is His constant work, His
heavenly office - the baptizer in the Holy Spirit...When someone says he or she
has been baptized in the Spirit, how long does it last? a week? an hour? six
months? Does the Holy Spirit leak away like power from a car battery?...
At
the dawn of the twentieth century it was taught for the 1st time that the sign
of tongues (glossolalia) was the assurance of the baptism in the Spirit...The
Holy Spirit was God in earthly activity, just as Jesus had been. The
baptism in the Spirit is not meant to be a single emotional event recorded in
believers' diaries...Terms, such as 'coming upon,' 'being filled,' 'drinking' & 'anointing,' describe the same divine gift of the
Spirit. Christ said we should 'ask...seek...knock' (Matt.7:7). This
applies to receiving the baptism of the Spirit also...
If we do what the apostles
did and we get what the apostles got, its name doesn't matter....
When people
were baptized they were anointed afterward to receive the Spirit. It was
called 'chrism.'"

Bonnke, Reinhard - Holy Spirit
Revelation & Revolution - Exploring Holy Spirit Dimensions - Speaking in
tongues is the only SIGN indicated in scripture as evidence for the baptism of
the Holy Spirit, which is done by Jesus Christ the baptizer, having arisen from
the dead & sitting at the right hand of God.
"Jesus did NOT baptize
anybody with the Holy Spirit while He was on earth." NOBODY except Christ
baptizes in or imparts the Holy Spirit, such as by laying on of hands. The
baptism in the Holy Spirit & salvation are NOT doctrines nor sacraments,
but rather a live person of the Trinity indwelling a human being, making him
alive to Father God. "Without the Holy Spirit, religious faith runs on a flat
battery."

Chapter 6 Baptism of the Holy Spirit "The Holy
Spirit goes a step beyond regeneration (salvation/being born-again/receiving
forgiveness & eternal life) and that's what the
baptism of the Holy Spirit is all about. Regeneration is NOT the same
experience as the baptism of (or with) the Holy Spirit. Of course, both
regeneration & the baptism of the Holy Spirit can happen at
the same time. But in other cases there is an interval of time between the
two experiences.
Before Jesus' death His disciples had already received eternal life, for
Jesus called them in person.
They obeyed Him, believing that He was the son of
God...Jesus also testified in John 13:10 that His disciples were all
clean except Judas Iscariot...Jesus admitted that the 70 disciples had already
received everlasting life (see Luke 10:20)"
Acts 8:14-17 KJV When the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that
Samaria had received the Word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John, who,
when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy
Ghost (baptism)[For as yet, He (the Holy
Spirit) was fallen upon none of them. They were only baptized in
the name of the Lord Jesus.]
Then they laid their hands on them, and
they received the Hoy Ghost.
"Christians today are NOT powerless, sick and spiritless because they are
NOT born again, but because they have NOT received the fullness of the Holy
Spirit, the tremendous power of God for service."
Luke 3:16 KJV "I indeed baptize you with water, but One mightier
than I cometh,
the latchet of Whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose; He shall baptize
you with the Holy Ghost & fire."
Acts 1:4-5 KJV "Wait for the promise of
the Father, which ye have heard of Me; for John truly baptized with water, but
ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence."
"The Jewish calendar tells us...Jesus died at the Passover feast.
The
Holy Spirit (baptism) came upon the disciples on the day
of Pentecost, a feast celebrated 50 days after Passover.
Jesus had shown
Himself to His disciples for 40 days between His resurrection & ascension.
So the disciples gathered together in Jerusalem for prayer for about 10 days."
Act 2:1-4 KJV When the day of Pentecost was full come, they were
all with one accord in 1 place.
Suddenly there came a sound from heaven
as of a rushing mighty wind. It filled all the house where they were
sitting.
There appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire &
sat upon each of them.
They were all filled with the Holy Ghost
& began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance...
Speaking in tongues in itself is not the fullness of the Holy Spirit, but as
confirmed in
the Scriptures tongues is the common external sign that a person
has received the fullness of the Holy Spirit."
Chapter 7 Receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit -
"Those who want to receive the promised baptism of the Holy Spirit should have a
fervent expectation and a desperate desire to receive...If those who want to
receive the Holy Spirit are half in doubt...lukewarm...that God will give them
the baptism of the Holy Spirit if He want to, they cannot receive no matter how
long they pray...We must take care of any sin in our lives before we pray for the experience of
the baptism of the Spirit...Try to be baptized with water as soon as possible as
it is the external sign
of salvation; but to conclude that unless you are
baptized with water, you receive neither remission of sins nor baptism of the
Holy Sprit is against the teachings of the Bible."
Cho cites significant warnings concerning receiving/ministering the
baptism of the Holy Spirit.

* Lake contends that one must consecrate his spirit, his mind, and

heaven, and then with Holy Spirit boldness accomplish on earth what He has
already been accomplished in heaven.
Most of us do no take what has
already been accomplished in heaven.
That is why many prayers are not
answered. It is not God's fault. It is not Satan's fault. It
is our neglect. God is waiting on us to act on our own behalf and on the
behalf of others.
This is our mandate as brothers/sisters of Christ and
sons/daughters of God. Wake up. Do not lose 40 years as Moses did.
In
Chapter 25 Adventures in God Lake testifies that God healed him of a 9
year bout
with constipation
upon his 100% consecration of his spirit,
mind and body to God.
Chapter 25 also addresses Paul's thorn in the flesh. Lake contends that on
the 3rd plea, Paul was healed.
Lake believes 2nd Corinthians 12:9 should
read, "Paul, My grace is sufficient for you (to heal your spirit,
to heal your mind and to heal your body).
Chapter 43 The Baptism of the Holy Ghost has a plethora
of "awe inspiring, unique, & encouraging" sermons.

Chapter 2 Sin Consciousness Versus Christ Consciousness
-
Matthew 28:19 KJV - Wherever you go, make disciples of all nations;
baptize
them in the name of the Father, the Son ant, of Joseph son of Elid the Holy Spirit."
Immersion into Christ produces a SUBSTANCE, which forms your
character...Baptism into the nature of the Son produces obedience to the
Father...Immersion into the Holy Spirit baptizes us into the manifestation of the
Godhead."
Ferrell, L. Emerson -
Immersed in Him -
www.voiceofthelight.com -
also introductory video -http://www.voiceofthelight.com/VOTLM2009/ImmerseInHim/ImmersedInHIMFirstChapter.pdf -
Emerson gives his personal testimony + his understanding that there needs to be
3 water immersions (dunkings/baptisms), in the name of the Father, the Son, AND
the Holy Spirit. [The 3rd seems to be for the baptism of the Holy Spirit,
Who empowers us to be useful to the Trinity and imparts both spiritual gifts and
spiritual fruit enabling us to raise the dead, heal, deliver & do miracles.
Emerson suggests that one's operation in these powers is the "sign"
(seal) marking
one's passport into the Kingdom of God, rather than one's "speaking in tongues".
Jesus began His ministry immediately after His baptism by John. Jesus said
per Luke 4:21 and Isaiah 61:1-2,
"TODAY this
scripture has been fulfilled in your ears."]
The Baptism of Jesus by His cousin John in the Jordan river.
(Matthew 3:13-17,
Mark 1:9-11,Luke 3:21-22)
The Ministry of Jesus Begins (Luke 3:23) Then (after His
public river baptism) Jesus was beginning His ministry at about 30 years old,
being a Son, as it was thought of Joseph,
son of Eli.
Immediate Demonic Temptation of Jesus (Matthew 4:1-11, Mark 1:12-13)
Luke 4:1-2 TPNT)
1Now Jesus returned from the Jordan (river) FULL of the Holy Spirit and He was
being led
in(to) the wilderness by the (Holy) Spirit, 2being tested by the devil
for 40 days. Beginning of Jesus' Ministry in Galilee [after baptism + temptation (of
Jesus' human soul/mind)] (Matthew 4:12-17, Mark 6:1-6, Luke 4:14-15)
Jesus' hometown Nazareth rejects Him. (Matthew 13:53-58, Mark 6:1-6, Luke
4:16-30) Luke 4:16 TPNT Then He came into Nazareth, which was where
He grew up, & He entered the synagogue according to His custom on the day of
Sabbaths (feast days) & He stood up to read.
17A scroll of the
prophet Isaiah was handed to Him & when He opened the scroll He found the place (Isaiah
6l:1-2) where it was written:
18"The (Holy)
Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me
to preach Good News to the repentant; He has sent Me to preach release to
(physical & spiritual) captives and recovery of
(physical & spiritual) sight to the blind,
to send release
to the (demonically & physically) oppressed,
19to preach the acceptable year (of deliverance)
of the Lord."
20Then rolling up the scroll, after He gave it back to the
attendant, He sat down.
The eyes of all in the synagogue were looking
attentively at Him.
21He began to say to them, "TODAY
this Scripture has been fulfilled in your ears"...
[One might be able to conclude that Jesus the man (flesh and soul) was
enabled to begin to become the Christ when His human spirit was united to the
Holy Spirit. Probably that would have been true of the 1st Adam - and of
each human. However, as Jesus' Spirit was God from the moment of
conception, that is what (in all likelihood) enabled Him to never submit to
temptation. Even though Jesus' disciples did wonders, they did greater
works AFTER Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, when He sent our helper the
Holy Spirit at Pentecost...
There is a deeper understanding. When one's human spirit is immersed into
the Holy Spirit (when the veil to heaven is ripped open) one can (often at will)
peer into the mind and heart of God. One can WATCH what the Father God is
doing. One can reproduce it on earth. Jesus said that He did ONLY
what He SAW His Father in heaven doing. Remember, Jesus taught in
the Lord's prayer for us to ask, "May it be done on earth as it is now done in
heaven." When we observe it being done in heavenly places, this prayer
becomes more of a command, "Be done on earth NOW, as it is now done in heaven,
in Jesus' name."
Numbers 12:6 KJVer - He said, "Hear
now My words, 'If there be a prophet among you,
I the Lord will make
Myself known to him in a vision and will speak to him in a dream.'"
John 16:14-15 - He (the Holy Spirit)
shall glorify Me (Jesus), for
He shall receive of Mine & shall show it to you.
All things that the Father has are mine. Therefore I said that He (the Holy Spirit)
shall take of Mine & shall SHOW it to you.
John 8:38 TNAB I tell what I have seen in
the Father's presence.]
Fife, Dr Dale A - The
Secret Place (#1) -
www.whitakerhouse.com
Fife, Dr Dale A - The Hidden Kingdom (#2) -
www.whitakerhouse.com -
Jesus told Dale that one must believe in Him AND also be baptized in order to be
saved.
Dale admonishes us to ask our pastors to baptize us with water & to ask Jesus to baptize us with His Holy Spirit.
Those of us who have had an infant christening or infant baptism, may
want/need to pursue an adult baptism, even if our local congregation accepts
that as sufficient. Lakes, rivers, oceans & swimming pools work as well as church tubs.

(evil) spirit it is

kind of spirit they are but also their name or number.'"
Hammond, Frank - Pigs in the Parlor - A Practical Guide to Deliverance -
www.thechildrensbread.net -
Some who cannot speak/pray/sing in tongues or who can only say a few words
(after asking for the baptism in the Holy spirit) may be prevented by
hindering/interfering evil spirits, perhaps due to past occult involvement, such
as dabbling with a Ouija board. We can ask the Holy Spirit to reveal
any open doors which let the evil spirit enter.
Then we need to shut the
door, after evicting the demon.

"The
river flows down from the throne of God, flows down into the very depths of our
beings and flows out through us to others.
None of that is controlled
by our own wills. The river has a will of its own. The Spirit is the river & the
river is the Spirit.
The will
of the river is the will of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we must join ourselves
to the purpose of the will of God.
But the prophetic word cannot come forth
unless you let it come forth...The other manifestations of the waters of life cannot come forth unless you let
them
come forth. Although the river has a will of its own, you can prevent it from
performing
its desired function by not yielding. Let the river flow...I have seen the glory come in as a river and have seen that it is not
democratic.
We can’t vote on it.
We can’t choose those to whom the river will flow. The
river
has a will of its own. We can, however, have an influence on the river.
How is
that?
Jesus said it, 'If any man
is thirsty, let him come and drink'...
All the questions that are in your heart can be answered. Your great
thirst moves the heart of God like nothing else can.
You may try to
influence God in 100 other ways, but no thing can do it like your spiritual
desire. He responds to your desire for Him...
The enemy of your souls knows the power of desire and would try to channel your
thirst into any range of other matters.
Don’t let him do it. Focus your thirst.
Direct it, and let nothing dilute the intensity of it. Let your thirst for God
grow...
We must also work to create thirst in others...Once they have experienced
new revelation, they want to receive more new revelation. God knows how to make
us hungry and He will do it for us, if we will let Him...I want to declare
that just as I have many acquired tastes in the natural, I have many acquired
tastes in the spiritual. When I was a small girl and felt the glory in certain
meetings, I was spoiled by that, and I have never been satisfied with anything
less. Very early in my life I acquired a taste for revival. I have never been
satisfied without it...Imagine, as a child I had the opportunity to sit on the
front row and hear all the great people who were flowing in God at the moment:
Oral Roberts, William Branham, Jack Coe and many others. How blessed I was to
have things sown into my spirit at that young age, things that have never left
me, but have only continued to grow...In the anointing & in the glory, seeds of greatness are sown into our lives.
It happens when we hunger...
Start a prayer meeting in your home where you can let God have His way. Make
yourself available to God every day.
The Lord will teach you, and you will know
His hand on your shoulders in a new way in the days ahead. He will be so close,
whispering in your ear, speaking into your heart, writing on your spirit. You
can be among those who are simple, yet profound.
You can know the mysteries
hidden since the foundation of the world...
You can know, not by the understanding of the flesh, but by the revelation of
the Spirit. The Lord will lift you into His Spirit again & again until rivers
flow in you & through you to bless all those around you...If you have no desire
to swim on out in God’s water, He may permit something to happen that will
give you that desire...Unless you get hungry & cooperate with God, there isn’t much He can
do for you...When we are baptized in the Holy Spirit...we will...come to Jesus.
Once we are there, we must take the step of drinking by faith: receiving
what He offers us. When we do it, a river is released within us.”

Jorgensen, Owen - Supernatural, The Life of William Branham (Books 1-6) (1909-1965) - Branham had a marvelous, magnificent healing ministry. Per book 4, he contended that each Christian must have the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which he considered to be the seal of the Holy Spirit. He did NOT believe that speaking in tongues is evidence of baptism. He considered the fruit of the Spirit to be the real test. However, he did believe in speaking in tongues and the other gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Lake, John G. - The Baptism of the Holy
Ghost - "The outpouring of the Holy Ghost (baptism) is the greatest
event in Christian history - greater than the
crucifixion...resurrection...ascension...glorification.

finality which the crucifixion, resurrection and glorification sought to
accomplish."

others. You will 'know' for yourself what the will of the Father is for
your life."

How the Faith Giants Flowed in the
Spirit and How You Can Too : JR Goodwin, Smith Wigglesworth, John
Osteen, Kenneth E Hagin,
http://brothermel.com/default.aspx
http://revjrgoodwin.wordpress.com/
"God will...if we will but believe what the
Bible teaches about this gift (of the baptism of the Holy Spirit), and accept
its operation.
If we will not learn and yield, we will not be recipients of the
encouragement and strength Heaven desires us to have...The working of the Holy Spirit is not dependant on perfect theology...
We need to learn from Stanley Frodsham, who helped pioneer the Assemblies
of God in Great Britain.
He ministered alongside Smith Wigglesworth, and wrote
Apostle of Faith,
the first biography of this giant. We must listen to Howard Carter, whose book,
Questions and Answers on Spiritual
Gifts,
electrified the Pentecostal
world in the 1930s, presenting the outline for teaching on spiritual gifts that is widely used today. Carter
mentored a young Lester Sumrall. We must consider the spiritual approach
taken concerning spiritual gifts by: F.F. Bosworth, Kathryn Kuhlman,
Kenneth E. Hagin, David Du Plessis & others of like spiritual caliber,
including my mentors, the Rev. & Mrs. J.R. Goodwin...
Mom and Dad Goodwin ministered together almost constantly in all 9 gifts of the
Holy Spirit through 40 years of prophetic & pastoral ministry."

Pickett, Fuchsia -
http://godswordtowomen.org/healing_pickett.htm - Stones of Remembrance
"Sometime later I had another sovereign visitation from God. I was in my
room waiting for George to come home from work. As I lay in bed, I heard a voice
louder than a normal tone of voice call my name. I raised up in the bed &
answered questioningly, 'Yes?' As I sat there for a moment, I sensed that my
room was filled with the presence of God. No one answered my response so I lay
back down. A few moments later I was awakened, & I heard that
voice call my name again. I decided it must be the people living upstairs in our
house. I got up and looked up the stairwell, but I did not hear a sound. There
was no one in the house. I went back and lay down on my bed. The third time I
heard my name called aloud, I fell by my bedside trembling. I asked, 'God, is
this You?' He said, 'Yes, Fuchsia. I want you
to preach and teach My Word'...
One of the greatest blessings in my heritage is that my parents taught me to
obey them. My daddy, the best friend I ever had on earth, taught me to obey even
when I did not want to & to love to please him. So when the infinite,
almighty, eternal, triune God--my heavenly Father--walked into my room, called
by my name, and told me He wanted me to preach and teach His Word, I didn't
question whether I had an option to obey Him or not. My earthly daddy had taught
me unconditional obedience...(Later)
As an ordained Methodist minister, she moved in the Evangelical Methodist
stream. In 1959, after becoming terminally ill, Dr. Pickett resigned her
pastorate and spent much of the next year in hospitals. On April 12, 1959, she
was carried into a church to attend a service she felt would be her last. God
miraculously changed the course of her life that morning as He healed her and
baptized her in the Holy Spirit. Her testimony is that the greatest thing that
ever happened to her was when her 'Teacher' came in the Person of the Holy
Spirit to unveil the Christ in her and to her, Whom she had studied and taught
about for so many years...'I knew that I would not have lived more than a few
months if God had not miraculously intervened in my life and healed my body.
That was more than thirty years ago, and I have enjoyed the results of that
miracle all these years. Yet, something more wonderful than physical healing
happened to me that Sunday morning. Within a few days of my healing, I realized
that the baptism of the Holy Spirit I had received that day had ushered me into
a new relationship with God.
My divine Teacher had come to fill me
with Himself & to split open the veil between my soul and my spirit. He
intervened in my desperate circumstances & healed me miraculously when my mind
did not believe the doctrine of healing...Apart from my salvation experience &
the supernatural calling of God to the ministry, I had not experienced visions
or other divine visitations.
That all changed when the Holy Spirit moved in to
become my Teacher.'"

Prince, Derek - The Spirit-Filled Believer's handbook - www.derekprince.org - Section New Testament Baptisms delves into the necessity of adult "baptism by immersion in water" for believers, to separate ourselves from the power of Satan. This issue is also covered in Prince's book They Shall Expel Demons. Regardless of our doctrinal position, if we follow Jesus' example as protocol, then baptism by immersion seems to be the spiritual thing to do. This can be done in a swimming pool, in a large pot of clay, in a river, or in the ocean, as well as at church.

"3 blessings are available to us...
May people are satisfied with having only
one.
There is a blessing in justification (salvation, being
born-again), a blessing in sanctification, and a blessing in the
baptism of the Holy Ghost. Salvation is a wonder (1st)
thing...Sanctification is a process which takes us on to a higher height with
God (where our character is refined). The fullness of the (Holy) Spirit
is an (ongoing/lifelong) process, too, just as salvation & sanctification
are" (a process/maturation/a gradual unveiling of both evil as well as of
God/Trinity.
Holy Spirit slowly exposes parts of our character or
self which need to die & be replaced with God's character and
personhood/nature.
Death to selfishness can be painful, but fruitful.)
Chapter 8 The Clothing of the Spirit for the World's Need - "If we
wait for such power,
we have mistaken the position we have through the

to be like Jesus...He lived in the

on until Jesus is glorified."

Fellowship Foundation, Shreveport, Louisiana, USA -
Chapter 5 Good Times, Bad Times
A pastor asked Delores , "Do you know some things you think you shouldn't know?"
(This gift of the Holy Spirit is called the "gift of knowledge".)
Delores asked, "Will I always know bad things about people?"
He
replied, "No, not unless God is going to use you to set them free or to help
them through it." (However, some teach that the gifts of God are
irrevocable, & thus can be
misused.)
The pastor went on to explain to Delores that she was 'baptized in the Holy
Spirit" & "received some (ministry) gifts"
(tongues, interpretation of tongues, & gift
of knowledge) at the same time that she received her healing. No one had
ever explained this to her before.
Chapter 6 The Surrender Another aspect of
revelation regarding the gift of knowledge - Delores during ministry exclaimed,
"I know the heart healing is here tonight," because she recognized that that her
own "heart was acting the part of the heart being healed... irregular, stopping,
& then starting again."
Her "own heart became normal again."
She asked the patient to claim
the healing.
Chapter 7 The Ministry "When God healed me that
night, He also baptized me in the Holy Spirit.
Then He bestowed on me the
gift of healing...Until we receive the baptism & are filled, we cannot consistently
manifest the fruit of the Spirit...Jesus commanded us to receive the baptism.
That makes us whole. Without it we cannot be whole."
Sometimes the Holy Spirit will "slay people in the spirit" -
"When He wants to

to me, 'You take care of your business & I'll take care
of this' (going under God's anesthesia in order for Him to operate)" when
we are ministering.

Chapter 33 Gifts for Men - "They (Yeshua's followers) were all filled
with the Holy Spirit
and spoke the Word (of God) with boldness...This was a
greater baptism...needed...to prepare them for the work they had to do (in
their generation)...God (Himself) did mighty signs and wonders at (though) the
hands of the apostles... Beloved, you are a son and an heir to ALL the
Pentecostal blessings, gifts & power. Press your claim at the
court of heaven." (Like a car, we can NOT function without oil.
For
us it is the oil of the Holy Spirit, Who deflects the glory to Jesus.)
Wommack, Andrew - http://www.awmi.net/extra/article/deal_temptation - "Being filled with the Holy Spirit is an absolute necessity for overcoming temptation (or doing anything beyond our own ability/power). There are many Christians who received the Holy Spirit years ago & haven’t been full of the Holy Spirit a day since. It’s not about what happened to us long ago; we have to stay full of the Holy Spirit. One way of doing that is to speak in tongues on a regular basis. Jude 1:20-21 says, 'But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep your-selves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life'.

Chapter 15 The Double Minded Man shares that Satan
tricks us by injecting thoughts into our minds beginning with the word "I".
For instance, if on Monday we accept Jesus as our savior/healer/baptizer, but
on Thursday we ask again to be saved/healed/baptized, we may have been
listening to/believing Satan's lies & not standing on/quoting out loud the facts of
scripture.
Chapter 17 Deliverance warns us to steer away from exorcisms where the
speaking of tongues is allowed during deliverance, because demons can speak in
tongues.

Molokans @
Expect the Supernatural - Billye Brim Ministries 5/28/2021 - "In Russia for
years his family had the job of cleaning the Orthodox Church buildings. Though
Bibles were not available for common folks in the 18th & 19th Centuries, his
family had access to the Holy Book when they were cleaning the church.
So they decided to read it. Within its script they could find almost nothing
that matched the ritualistic worship of the church. They decided to practically
follow the Book as closely as they could.
For example, they could not find the
practice of giving up milk for Lent as the Orthodox Church required. So, they
began to drink milk during Lent. That’s how they got their name, the Molokans.
Molokans in Russian means milk-drinkers.
Later, they found in the Bible
where believers were filled with the Holy Spirit. When the Molokans received
this experience, they began to leap & dance with joy. Thereafter, they were
known as the Leaping Molokans, or the Holy Jumpers."

Expect the
Supernatural - Billye Brim Ministries Excerpt from
Demos Shakarian's
The Happiest People on Earth -
"Efim Gerasemovitch Klubniken…could neither read nor
write. Yet, as he sat in the little stone cottage in Kara Kala, he saw before
him a vision of charts & a message in a beautiful handwriting. Efim asked for
pen & paper…For 7 days he laboriously copied down the form & shape of letters &
diagrams that passed before his eyes. When he had finished, the manuscript
was taken to people in the village who could read…This illiterate child had
written out in Russian characters a series of instructions & warnings. At some
unspecified time in the future, the boy wrote, every Christian in Kara Kala
(Armenia) would be in terrible danger. He foretold a time of unspeakable tragedy
for the entire area, when hundreds of thousands…would be brutally murdered. The
time would come…when everyone in the region must flee. They must go to a land
across the sea…the Boy Prophet drew a map showing exactly where the fleeing
Christians were to go…The body of water depicted so accurately in the drawing
was not the nearby Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, or even the Mediterranean, but
the distant…Atlantic Ocean…
The map plainly indicated the east coast of the
United States of America. But the refugees were not to settle down there,
the prophecy continued. They were to continue traveling until they reached the
west coast of the new land. There, the boy wrote, God would bless them, prosper
them, & cause their seed to be a blessing to the nations…A little after the turn
of the century, Efim announced that the time was near for the fulfillment of the
words he had written down nearly 50 years before. 'We must flee to America.
All
who remain here will perish.' The instructions proved correct. In 1914 a
period of unimaginable horror arrived for Armenia.
[Beginning
in 1914 Muslim Turks enacted genocide against Armenians & massacred at least
1.5 million. Every inhabitant of Kara Kala died.] Those who had
heeded the warning of the Boy Prophet & sought asylum in America heard the news
with dismay. Grandfather Demos was among those who fled. After his experience
with the Russian patriarch, Grandfather no longer discounted the validity of
prophecy.
In 1905 he sold the farm which had been in his family for generations…
The family reached New York safely but, mindful of the prophecy, did not settle
there.
In accordance with the written instructions they kept traveling across
the vast new land, until they reached Los Angeles…
1 day it happened that
Grandfather & his brother-in-law…were walking down San Pedro Street in Los
Angeles, looking for work in the livery stables. As they passed a side road
called Azusa Street they stopped short. Along with the smell of
horses & harness leather came the unmistakable sounds of people praising God in
tongues. They had not known that anywhere in the United States were people who
worshiped as they did…Grandfather & Magardich returned (home) with the news that
Pentecost had come even to this distant land across the sea."

GREAT HEALING REVIVALISTS - HOW GOD'S POWER CAME -
http://www.revivalschool.com/healing.html
- "(Isaiah 35:5)... John said in Luke 3:16, 'He shall Baptize you with the Holy
Spirit and with FIRE'...It was 14 years after I received the Holy Ghost &
tongues before I received the Holy Ghost & power." (Pg 13). "If God has called
you into a full time ministry of healing the sick & casting out devils He
usually gives you time to give yourselves to fasting & prayer...Then 1 night to my surprise the Lord appeared to me & told
me to go on a 7 day fast, which I was willing to do. After the fast was over the
Lord appeared to me. I heard the angels singing a song I had never heard. I
wrote it down. It was beautiful! It was like heaven. Then an angel just above my
head spoke these words, 'In My name shall ye cast out devils, ye shall lay hands
on the sick & they shall recover.' As I began to eat I felt something like an
electric current run out at the ends of my fingers & down to the bottom of my
feet. The fire of God was all through my body!" (W.V. Grant Sr, 'Must I Fast for
40 Days', pg's 20, 36, 37):
"But on the last day just about break of day, the Holy Spirit began to speak to
me.
Mark 16:17-18 - 'These signs shall follow them
that believe. In My name shall you cast out devils, they shall take up serpents,
if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them, they shall lay hands on
the sick, & they shall
recover'...
I got up, and walked, & my feet were burning like they
were connected to a high voltage wire. The Holy Spirit & Fire was running all
through my whole body from my head to my toes. It seemed like all my strength
had been drained out of me, and the strength of Christ had taken its place...For
several years since, devil's have been cast out, & people healed. "I had the
Holy Spirit for years, but it seemed that now, I was not only filled, but
baptized with zeal, compassion, and with the divine nature of Jesus, with
virtue, & with the fire...
If you feel like the Lord has called you into a
special ministry of casting out devils, then remember this: There are many more
things which are just as necessary as fasting. Fasting within itself will not be
sufficient...But when I was called to fast, it was just as real as being called
to preach.
I was conscious of the fast, that it was the Lord's doing & not my
own...It takes a longer fast for 1 man to be brought to the place where he is
yielded to the Lord enough to receive certain gifts in his life than it does for
other men. It took a certain amount of days for me to fast & to become so
yielded to the Lord; it seemed that all my strength left my body, & the Lord's
strength came into its place.
Then I felt the virtue & divine nature, & the fire
of the Holy Ghost dwelling in my body, which gave me power to meet devils & to
cast them out. "But I still have to be led by the Lord when & how to do it. It is not myself
that doeth the works but the Father that dwelleth in me. God will not trust you
with a ministry if you do not know the leading of the Spirit."

"The 2nd great spiritual essential is the
Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost and fire. 'Have you received THE HOLY
GHOST SINCE YE BELIEVED?' (Acts 19:2.)
Holy Ghost visited them, as us at the
beginning. God, Who knows the hearts, bears them witness, gives them the
Holy Ghost, even as He did unto us.' So IMPORTANT AN ESSENTIAL IS THIS THAT IT
IS A COMMANDMENT: 'Commanded them to wait for the promise of the Father.'
Clothing of power...If there is that something lacking in your life, even if you
have the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, the FASTING EXPERIENCE is for you. There
would be more success instead of so many failures in the ministry.
The power
& demonstration in the Spirit would be manifested and gifts of the
Spirit would
commence to operate."
Lake, John G - chapter 2
@ GREAT HEALING
REVIVALISTS -HOW GOD'S POWER CAME -http://www.revivalschool.com/healing.html
"I prayed for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit for 9 months, and if a
man ever prayed honestly, & sincerely in the faith, I did.
Finally one day I was
ready to throw up my hands, & quit. I said, 'Lord, it may be for others, but it
is not for me. You just cannot give it to me.' I did not blame God. 1 night a
gentleman by the name of Pierce said, 'Mr. Lake, I have been wishing for a long
time you would come over, & we would spend a night in prayer together. We have
been praying for the Baptism for a whole year & there is not 1 of us
baptized yet (with the evidence of speaking in tongues). Brother, I do not
believe that you are either, so we can pray for one another." I was so hungry to
pray, so I went with all intentions of praying for the rest, but I had not been
praying 5 minutes until the light of God began to shine around me, I found
myself in a center of an arc of light 10 feet in diameter, the whitest light in
all the universe. So white.
Oh how it spoke of purity. The remembrance of that
whiteness, that wonderful whiteness, has been the ideal that has stood before my
soul, of the purity of the nature of God ever since. "Then a Voice began to talk
to me out of that light. There was no form. The Voice began to remind me
of this incident, & that incident of disobedience to my parents, from a child;
of my obstinacy, & dozens of instances when God brought me up to the line of
absolutely putting my body, soul, & spirit upon the altar forever. I had my body
upon the altar for 10 years, & I had been a
minister of the Gospel. But when the Lord comes,
He opens to the soul the depths
that have never been touched in your life. Do you know that after I was
baptized in the Holy Ghost, things opened up in the depths of my nature that
had remained untouched in all my life, & that which was shadowy, distant, & hazy
became real. God got up close & let His light shine into me. "Shortly after this
experience, 1 afternoon a brother minister called, &
invited me to accompany him to visit a lady who was sick. Arriving at the home
we found the lady in a wheel chair. All her joints were set with inflammatory
rheumatism. She had been in the condition for 10 years...
While my friend was
conversing with her, preparing her to be prayed with, that she might be healed,
I sat in a deep chair on the opposite side of a large room. My soul was crying
out to God in a yearning too deep for words, when suddenly it seemed to me, that
I had passed under a shower of warm tropical rain, which was not falling upon
me, but through me. My spirit, & soul & body under this influence soothed
into such a deep still calm, as I had never known. My brain, which had always
been so active, became perfectly still. An awe of the presence of God settled
over me. I knew it was God.
"Some moments passed; I do not know how many. The (Holy) Spirit said, 'I
have heard your prayers, I have seen your tears.
You are now Baptized in the Holy Spirit.' Then currents of power began to
rush through my being from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet. The
shocks of power increased in rapidity, & voltage. As these currents of power
would pass through me, they seemed to come upon my head, rush through my body, & through my feet into the floor...(Pg 16-20).
"I found that my life began to manifest in the varied range of the gifts of the
Spirit.
I spoke in tongues by the power of God, & God flowed
through me with a new force. Healings were of a more powerful order...
"Then a new wonder manifested. My nature became so sensitized, that I
could lay hands on any man, or woman, & tell what organ was diseased,
& to what extent, & all about it. I tested it.
I went into hospitals where
physicians could not diagnose a case, touched a patient, & instantly I knew the
organ that was diseased, its extent, condition, & location. 1 day it
passed away.
A child plays with a toy, & his joy is so wonderful, he sometimes
forgets to eat."

We need "a fresh new baptism each day in order to wash away all the

JERAME: Matthew chapter 3:16-17, is where Jesus is baptized by John on the
river. It's the greatest example, because it says that as Jesus came up out of
the waters of the Jordan, it says the heavens were opened unto Him. It says that
the spirit of God descended upon hHm in the form of a dove, rest & remained on
His life. It says that God the Father began to speak His approval & love over
Jesus. From that moment on that Jesus was activated. He began to move in
miracles...signs, wonders. He began to hear the voice of God & have encounters
in the supernatural.
When you receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost,
the (portals of) heavens will open over your life & all of those different
things will be activated.
Holy Spirit Empowered by Dennis
Reanier
- 5/2014 - "I
wrote about the word wait in this passage.
It is the Greek word
perimeno.
It means 'to stay around, to wait for, & to fellowship with.'
The
baptism of the Holy Spirit was to be a direct result of relationship through
fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, 'If
any man is thirsty, let him come to Me & drink. He who believes in Me
(who cleaves to & trusts in & relies on Me)
as the Scripture has said, from his innermost
being shall flow
(continuously)
springs & rivers of living water.'
He was speaking here of the Spirit, whom those who believed (trusted,
had faith)
in Him were afterward to receive. For the (Holy) Spirit had not yet been given,
because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor). Jesus knew that we
would need both a special boldness & divine 'overflow' in order to
walk in the manifestation of His promises. The Scriptures teach us that
every believer born of the Word & the Spirit automatically has the Holy Spirit
within. The Holy Spirit came & took up residence in you at the moment of your
salvation. We also see in Scripture that the Holy Spirit's empowerment was, in
many cases, a subsequent, deliberate & repeated experience for all believers.
The Empowering of
the Spirit - The
indwelling ministry of the Holy Spirit is automatic;
you did not have to seek His indwelling presence when you first got
saved. He came & took up
residence in your heart at the moment of your salvation. The empowering of
the Spirit is not automatic. It usually comes in response to
prayer...The Greek word for baptism here is
baptizo.
It means 'to be over-whelmed.' The idea is to continue to repeat the same process
until an object is fully saturated.
It is often illustrated by the picture
of a pickle being saturated in dill brine by dipping it over & over again.
If
an object is completely saturated, it means that it can no longer contain the
substance in which it is saturated. It is over-flowing out of the saturated
object & getting all over everything that it comes in contact with.
In
Prophetic
Evangelism,
Sean Smith writes, 'When we are baptized by Christ in the Holy Spirit, we become
partakers of the divine nature at the optimal level.'
He is
not trying to say that we have to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit in
order to become partakers of the divine nature.
He is emphasizing the point that
the divine nature that is already in us is activated to operate at the
optimal level in our soul through the Holy Spirit baptism."
He said he fell from the roof & died around 50 minutes ago. He said, "No pulse. We are waiting for the ambulance."
HRVOJE: We immediately started to do
what we knew to do: praying in tongues, in the spirit.
So we prayed, prayed,
prayed & prayed. Suddenly such a sweet smell arose. I knew the Holy Spirit
is going to do something.
So we prayed for a couple of minutes. Suddenly a
voice came out of this man, but he fell back again. After a while he did it
another time. The 3rd time he woke up, rose, took his mobile, said to his
friend, "Call my wife & say everything is okay."

Baptism of the Holy Spirit
-
from
Restoration Magazine - March/April 1979 -
"God's people under the New Covenant need
to be initiated into Christ as His Old Covenant people were initiated into
Moses, that is by a baptism in cloud & sea.
Neither water
baptism nor Spirit baptism is an optional extra for the committed Christian...
The word that is used consistently & repeatedly to describe what happens in
the Baptism in the Spirit but is never used simply of conversion is 'upon'. The
Old Testament prepares us for this.
Anointing oil was poured
'upon' the head of prophet, priest and king, not to make them
God's people (for they were already
that) but to fit them for their special service.
God put the Spirit that was 'upon' Moses 'upon' the elders of Israel to equip
them for leadership...
The Spirit
coming 'upon' the Lord Jesus at the Jordan was not to make Him more holy than He
was, an impossibility, but that the works & words of God...might be
manifested in Him...Later in the Acts we read how the Spirit came 'upon', fell
'upon' & was poured 'upon' different groups of disciples. Paul reminds Titus
of the 'Holy Spirit that was poured upon us richly'."
Wigglesworth, Smith -
http://www.revivalschool.com/healing.html - "He said, 'There are 2 sides to
this Baptism:
The 1st is, you possess the Spirit; The 2nd is that the
Spirit possesses you.' (See 'The Life of Smith Wigglesworth' by Jack Hywel-Davies).
He had counted the cost,
and everything was God's. He was a man who truly
understood GODLY AUTHORITY.
He WALKED in it by faith. He said, 'Be filled
with the Spirit,' ie., be CRAMMED with
the Spirit, so filled that there will be
no room left for anything else.'
That was the way he lived. Full of
audacity, full of daring, 'full of faith & of the Holy Ghost.'"
Inhttp://smithwigglesworth.com/index.php/smith-wigglesworth-sermons/ever-increasing-faith/deliverance-to-the-captives
"The 1st chapter of Acts, we see that Jesus gave commandment to the disciples
that they should wait for the promise of the Father, &
He told them that not many days hence they would be baptized with the Holy
Ghost.
Luke tells us that he had written his former treatise concerning all that Jesus
began both to do & teach. The ministry of Christ did not end at the cross, but
the Acts & the epistles give us accounts of what He continued to do & teach
through those whom He indwelt.
Our blessed Lord Jesus is still alive, &
continues His ministry through those who are filled with His Spirit.
He is
still healing the broken-hearted and delivering the captives through
those on whom He places His Spirit."

-
“Jesus said:
Verily, verily, I say
unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; & greater
works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. Whatsoever you
shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the
Son. If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.
(Jn. 14:12-14)
If you abide in
me, & my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, & it shall be done
unto you.
(Jn. 15:7)...
You see, Christ’s will & our wills come together with the same
desire to glorify the Father.
The Spirit of Christ prompts us to ask for great
things so that the Lord will have a chance to let down His “right hand of power”
(Mt. 26:64) & let the people see the visible signs of the Lord. Everyone of
us ought to be anointed with the same power & gifts that God has given to the
church, so that the world may believe that the Father has sent Christ into the
world &
that the Father has loved us as He has loved Christ (Jn.17:23).
“In my name
shall they cast out devils…They shall lay hands on the sick, & they shall
recover”
(Mk.16:17-18)...I praise the Lord for this, In His name, through
His name, thousands of unclean spirits have been cast out. Demons causing
deafness, muteness, lameness, blindness, paralysis, and cancer have fled when I
(MARIA WOODWORTH-ETTER) have lain my hands on the sick in His name; those who
were sick have been made whole. Healing in the Atonement...Divine healing is taught in the Atonement, as much as the salvation of the soul
is. Consider these Scriptures:
“He was wounded for our (personal) transgressions (when we appropriate His work
on the cross),
He was bruised for our (inherited) iniquities (when we nail them to His cross):
the chastisement of our peace was upon Him (when we take Him at His word); & with His stripes we are (were) healed (as we believe, behave and speak as though
His words are our reality).” (Is. 53:5)
“That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
Himself (already) took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. (Mt. 8:17)
Together we have the promise of apostles, prophets, teachers, & evangelist
in
the church of Christ.
What a glorious church is the real body & bride of our Lord.
Signs (medical miracles) were to follow those who believe in Christ (Mk. 16:17):
“For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Christ” (Eph. 4:12).
You see that God placed all the gifts & workings of the (Holy) Spirit in the
church (the bride who acts as though she is a wife of Jesus & an heir of God
plus a citizen of heaven right now), & they were to remain with the people of
God “till we all come in the unity of the faith” (v13) “by the same Spirit”
(1Cor.12:28). “The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit
withal…But all these worketh (via) that 1 & selfsame Spirit” (vv.7,11). There is
1 Lord & 1 (Holy) Spirit (Eph. 4:4-5). The Holy Spirit is the working agent of
Christ, sent by God to work through the church, the body of Christ. Each member
is to possess one or more of these gifts as the church walks in the light & believers & accepts these blessings or gifts. Ignorance Inexcusable:
Paul said, “Concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant”
(1 Cor. 12:1). “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, & of the knowledge of the Son of
God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of
Christ” (Eph. 4:13).
The bride will go out to meet Him with the same power that the Apostles had
after they were filled with the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. He is
coming for a Glorious church (who is NOT impotent).
(Yes, later, but also in every generation, so God via His Holy Spirit can
function through us - right now.)

The kingdom of heaven is not, not later, to be understood, not with the mind,
but rather with the spirit.
The Bible's book of Revelation is a 101 spiritual training manual.
A wrong interpretation of holy scripture can keep us bound for generations.
Without Pentecost, the descent and baptism of the Holy Spirit, there is no
church.
The Holy Spirit contains the entire intelligence of God.
The 7 spirits of
God encompass the fullness of God.
Isaiah 11:1-3 If the 12 disciples already had powers to heal, deliver,
resurrect the dead, why did they need Holy Spirit power?
To witness &
prophesy; to hear & see heaven
as did Jesus (William Branham and others).
Then I/we can bring down from heaven to earth what we hear and see. Such
become a threat to the spirit of Babylon, the spirit
of antichrist, who will
attempt to come against His disciples.
If you are a king/queen, you have a territory. If you do not know your

Christ's blood on the cross opened the door for the Gentiles (dogs) to receive
the blessings (salvation/healing/deliverance/ miracles) that began with (were
originally available only to) the Jews. The Trinity (Father God/Jesus/Holy
Spirit) loves/ encourages holy audacity & even bends/breaks His rules/spiritual-parameters
(and apparent/perceived-destinies) to accommodate it, as illustrated in
scripture:
[Matthew 15:21-28 + Mark 7:27-30 - A Gentile (from northern coastal
Canaan/Canaanite/west of the Jordan River/Syrophoenecian)
mother is/was tenacious to have Jesus deliver her daughter (harassed by an evil
spirit).]

- Regarding Matthew 25:1-12 "the 5 foolish virgins were the ones with
only 5 natural senses (sight/touch/hearing/smell/taste) & the 5 wise virgins
were the ones with all 10 senses activated, including the 5 spiritual
senses...Spiritual senses are sharpened through being filled with the Holy
Spirit...to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and then be in-filled again &
again...Spiritual senses grow as we saturate or 'soak' in His presence."
[The book hints that a Christian is dead if he/she does not allow the Holy
Spirit to operate violently in our lives. Thus 5 virgins (half) could be
(water baptized) born-again Christians, while the remaining 5 (who meet Jesus
when He arrives) could be those who have the Holy Spirit baptism (which is an
additional step in the work of God in our lives, where we not only believe in
Jesus, but allow His Holy Spirit to be violently active in our lives - raising
the dead, healing, delivering, changing our character for the better, having
heavenly visits, & having frequent intimate fellowship with the Trinity).]

that He is a person as well as God and needs/wants a body to inhabit, but it
must be total Him & 0 us; the commitment will requiring an empting of self and

Rees Howells on the Holy Spirit 1/19/2008 -
http://refinedinthefire.wordpress.com/2008/01/19/rees-howells-on-the-holy-spirit/
"He and the students and staff at his college were
instrumental
in turning the course of World War 2 through their intercessions."
http://www.byfaith.co.uk/paulreeshowells3.htm - Rees founded a Bible
college that interceded
for each British battle of World War II. " (This
is God's model for Billy Brim's ministry.)
http://www.anglicanrenewalministries-wales.org.uk/main/Livingwater/appendix1.htm
"With the Welsh revival of 1904, many
came to the Lord but teachers and intercessors were needed to prevent
backsliding as the enthusiasm waned.
Rees
realized that although they had
seen the power of the
Spirit
in conversion & conviction of sin, the churches did not have power for
service, he saw the importance of Isaiah 59...but it was hearing someone read
from Romans Chapter 8:26-30 that he discovered what was missing, 'I know I am
predestinated...& justified, but am I glorified?' It was the
summer of 1906 and he went...to the Llandrindod Wells Convention, the Welsh
Keswick; here he heard the Rev. Evan Hopkins speak on Ephesians 2:1-6 and he saw
the Glorified Christ.
The next day there was more teaching on the
Holy
Spirit
and he realized that here was God as
Spirit
needing his body. Bible passages guided him[1]
but God made it clear that this was total
surrender;
he was to die with Christ and allow the
Holy
Spirit
to have control of everything. 'I had received a sentence of death'...is
how he described it. He...spent 5 days in anguish alone with the Lord before he
could accept the position of the over-comers.
In that time he saw the
awesome holiness of God & his own corrupt nature that had to die.
He could no longer
live for self. He knew that God would never force him but he realized that he
had been saying that he wanted to give himself to God as Christ
had given
Himself for him; it was as it were a last chance, 'Are
you willing?' ...
(Subsequently) Rees
Howell’s broke through into a remarkable journey (ministry) of Intercession.
Holy
Spirit
had (already) come in to abide forever. He knew the power of the Spirit,
but he had to seek the face of the Lord over & over again to gain a
position of faith for the intercession.
Each time he grew stronger,
but his life was like some of the Old Testament prophets as he had to be
totally obedient & be prepared to die or go without & give up
everything as the Lord tested him for that prayer. He heard from the
Lord & responded with a love that could only have been the Love of God for the
world. His Savior never failed him & when he reached a point of victory he
rejoiced & was happy with the life he led in Christ.

"God had poured out His Spirit. Miracles of healing had taken place. People had
seen angels.
God had come down to be with us...I lay on my bed, looked up
to God & asked Him a question.
'God, how can you use me? I am nothing,
make mistakes & am far from perfect.
Yet I have seen Your glory like a trail of fire
following me everywhere.
How? Why?' He answered me, 'It's
because you are willing to do anything I ask you to do.'
'Is that all, Lord? Then You could use anyone, any woman, who, like myself,
would be totally surrendered to You!' 'Yes,
My child, I could,'
He answered. 'Then, Lord, raise up 10,000 women-women just like myself,
who will pay any price, make any sacrifice,
be totally obedient to Your will.'

Study in Romans 8:1-25 appears fundamentalist rather than Pentecostal regarding
his teaching on salvation.
(Water baptism is the typical public ceremony of one's decision/testimony
to accept what God says in the Bible.)
Benny Hinn seems to teach
that when one is born again that one receives 100% infilling of the Holy Spirit.
The necessary baptism in the Holy Spirit seems to be for commissioning.
Check it out. He also teaches that healing is available for the body at
the same time that one receives salvation &/or baptism. In other words,
the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit, bringing with it/Him all the benefits for
spirit/body/mind

Benny believes that head faith pertains to hearing, believing and receiving
salvation/eternal-life.
He says that that this faith matures as we grow up
in Christ.
The "gift of faith/anointing" is different, usually coming in a
group situation for a specific purpose to glorify Christ &
leaves/lifts when the job is done/occasion/event is over.
The "gift of
faith" is an act, a verb.

“What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in
you,
which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” scripture says in (1
Corinthians 6:19)
Benny comments, “This is one of the most breathtaking
statements in all the Bible.
The Holy Spirit dwells in the believer’s body.
He
doesn’t dwell in the building in which
you worship on Sunday. He doesn’t even
dwell in your house where you live every day.
He is in your body. You are His
house! You are His temple! He dwells in you.”

"Few believers have discovered the difference between the external Christ and
the indwelling Christ.” Referring to an incident reported in Acts 19, Pastor
been said, “20 years had passed since the Day of Pentecost. Paul was in Ephesus.
The 1st question he asked believers there was whether they had received the Holy
Ghost since they had believed.
The disciples at the church of Ephesus replied
that they didn’t know anything about the Holy Ghost. Amazing! It had only been 2
decades, yet the Ephesians knew nothing about the greatest event in church
history.”

Rees Howells :
Intercessor
-
http://vnesdoly.blogspot.com/2005/05/book- review-rees-howells-intercessor.html
- "Shortly after he returned to Wales in 1904, the Welsh revival broke out. He
became involved in it & worked at discipling new converts. However, he & his
friends sensed spiritual needs in their own lives. In the summer of 1906
they spent their summer holiday at the Llandrindod Wells convention (a Welsh
equivalent to the English Keswick Conference) where Howells made a pivotal
decision. From the first meeting, Howells was deeply moved. The realization
dawned on him that
Holy
Spirit
was a person,
and not an ‘influence.’ In his words:
'He said to me, "As the Savior had a body,
so I dwell in the cleansed temple of the believer.
I am a
Person.
I am God. I am come to
ask you to give your body to Me
that I may work through it.
I need a body for My temple,
but it must belong to Me without reserve, for 2
persons with different wills can never live in the same body.
Will you give Me yours? But
if I come in, I come as God,
& you must go out. I shall
not mix Myself with your self." This precipitated a 5-day struggle
in Mr. Howells. From the 1st, he realized it was an unconditional surrender, of
which he said: 'I had received a sentence of death, as really as a prisoner in
the dock. I had lived in my body for 26 years, & could I easily give it up....I wept for days.
I lost 7 pounds...Nothing is more real to me than the process I went through
for that whole week.
Holy
Spirit
went on dealing with me, exposing the root of my nature which was self.
You can only get out of a thing what is in its root.
Sin was canceled. It
wasn’t sin He was dealing with. It was self'...Some of the things he (Howells) came to a point of surrender over:
1. His love of money: 'The Lord told him that He would take
out of his nature all taste for money & any ambition for the ownership of money.'
2. His choice in making a home:
'I saw I could never give my life to another
person,
to live to (for) that 1 alone."
3. His ambition: 'Supposing he had a mission in a town & another mission
opened in the same place; if there was jealousy between the 2, and
it was better
for the town only to have 1, then it would be his which would have to go.'
4. His right to a good reputation: 'As he was thinking of men of the Bible who
were full of the
Holy Ghost, & particularly John
the Baptist, the Lord said to him,
"Then I may live
through you the kind of life I lived through them."'
Finally on Friday of that week he came through...
The book continues with stories of how God worked through this man teaching him
faith & intercession as he prayed for the sick, prayed for the salvation of
friends & acquaintances, gave up raising his own son to work as a missionary,
traveled without any money in his pocket, bought estates, established a Bible
school & prayed for international events, especially during the World War II.
All the while God also continued to deal with his self-life."

We we repent for our sins, ask Jesus to be our saviour & Lord, invite Him to

1st Jesus walks along side us via His Holy Spirit, BUT when we
invite Jesus to baptize us with His Holy Spirit & to permanently indwell us (as
in a marriage & with a wedding ring) He moves 101% inside us via His Holy Spirit
[& can be a parallel/shadow/type of legal intercourse/intimacy where the 2

join/comingle with/wed our human spirit until one's baptism in the Holy Spirit.]
Kerr, Kat -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra0MYPyRJ90 6/4/2015 - AUDIO - When we
invite Holy Spirit to indwell us, He deposits one slice of Himself, which is to
us the entirety of Himself. He is a multi-layered entity, like a rolodex.
Our human spirit is also multilayered. After the baptism in/with the Holy
Spirit, the baptism of fire, is available.
This helps to burn up one's
self centeredness & hidden or habiitual sin,
leaving a vacancy for more of
God's indwelling.

from the Well of God's Spirit within You - Chapter 8 Unleashing Your
Floodwaters of Blessing - "Pentecost was a pivotal event that changed... the
disciples from weak, insecure people into those who turned their world
upside down...Believe that you are full of power...Talk to yourself on a regular
basis about the anointing you have received from God (during confirmation &/or
laying on of hands)...Make declarations aloud and speak about the miracle you
want produced...
DAILY, Start drawing from your river - by speaking TO that pain
in your body & command it to leave (in Jesus' name)...
Praying in tongues
is probably the most powerful way to fill you well to overflowing. It
(invisibly) builds you(r spirit man & your inner wellness) up like nothing
else, because it carries power that does the work (heavy lifting/healing of the
heart) for you.
The more I pray in the Spirit, the less I have to push
myself (pretend/struggle to pray in tongues & do daily chores).
The (Person of the Holy) Spirit carries me. I just go along for the ride."

TODD: I had a vision in January of 2018, that as I'm
walking across the stage, I see our baptistry.
I'm just in a moment of prayer,
walking across the stage, nothing unusual. We're in a time of fasting with our
church.
I look at our baptistry & see the baptistry completely empty in the
natural, but in the spirit I had my 1st open vision.
I see the tank full of water & a strip
of fire on the water. The Lord spoke to me, "I'm
going to baptize people with Holy Spirit fire."
Ever since then, we've
been baptizing people.
After revival hit our church, we started baptizing people
& they're encountering the fire of God in that water.
TODD:
I was raised Southern Baptist. I thank God for my heritage.
I was saved as a
Southern Baptist, schooled as a Southern Baptist, started pastoring a church
that was a Southern Baptist church.
So I was not completely open to the
baptism of the Holy Spirit & fire & even the gifts of the spirit.
I wasn't even
open to them. I was more of a cessationist. A staunch dispensationalist if you
will.
TODD: (I, as) a Baptist went to a Pentecostal prayer
meeting…I said, "Fellows, I'm ready to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, and they
walked around me, prayed, & said, "Be filled with the Holy Spirit."
They laid
hands on me. My throat tightened. I got a constriction around my throat.
I
stopped the gentlemen & said, "Listen, my throat...It's hard for me swallow.
It's hard for me to swallow."
One gentleman said, "Well Todd,
here's what's going on. There's a prayer language that God wants to release
through you, but it's being constricted." He says, "I want you to denounce all
false teaching.
I want you to repent of teaching false teaching." As soon as I
did, I said, "Lord, I'm sorry for believing false doctrine.
I'm sorry for
teaching false doctrine." Immediately my throat loosened. It relaxed.
He put 1
index finger on my forehead & said, "Be filled with the Holy Spirit."
At that
very moment the power of God came upon me. The kavod, the glory of the Lord, sat
upon me.
I fell backwards & began to speak in other tongues.
Finney, Charles Grandison - web biography -
http://www.laguerison.org/pages/index.php?action=fiche&id=301#
Christians may be filled with the Spirit of God. It is their duty to be
filled with the Spirit.
Why they are not filled with the Spirit. The
guilt of those who have not the Spirit of God, to lead their minds in duty & prayer.
The consequence that will follow if they are filled with the Spirit. The consequences if they are not.

discusses that the majority of born-again Christians fail to receive or walk in
the full power of the Holy Spirit baptism as they fail to DAILY empty self (of
power grabbing) & receive (refill self with) His Spirit...There must be NO area
of our lives to which we cling to & do NOT replace with (refill with/relinquish
to) God. His Spirit MUST fill every nook & cranny of our lives, with NO
vacancy for self NOR a demon. [Psychiatrists have evicted God & tried to
empower self. WRONG. This is hurtful (demonic) to both our human
spirits & to our souls/minds. The human self is selfish &
greedy.
The self must die to self & live to Messiah Jesus.] This emptying
of self & refilling with Holy Spirit is a DAILY walk -
NOT a one time
baptism. This is the mistake most Christians have made.

"I believe it is wrong to wait for the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is

I know something is wrong...
It is the will of God, even your (ongoing/lifelong)
sanctification, that you should be filled into all the fullness of
God...The Holy Ghost begins to reveal uncleanness, judging hardness of heart &
all impurity to men (especially prior to salvation). Until the process of
(our repentance & God's) cleansing is complete, the Holy
Ghost is NOT welcome in them (to be born-again).
But when the bodies are clean, sanctified (for the 1st deposit of Himself via
His Holy Spirit, then) Jesus delights to fill them (up) with His Holy Spirit
(via the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is the initial honeymoon infilling,
which needs to be daily refilled like gas in an auto.
Salvation is often considered the engagement, whereas the Spirit baptism is
considered the wedding. Every marriage needs ongoing attentiveness.)

Transcript 12/6/2020 - Edited Excerpt - ,
ANDREW: I saw a wave of healing.
I can only describe it as a tsunami of healing that began to take place among
these people.
It was 10s of thousands of people. Cancerous growths began to
fall off.
I saw people rising up out of wheelchairs, just miracles after
miracles. I stood back & was in such amazement of what was happening, I just
couldn’t believe it. I looked at Jesus in just utter amazement. He said, “Look
again.” So I looked again & saw heavy chains that were all around
people. They were trying to lift up their hands. It makes me get emotional
right now, because I think about what I saw.
ANDREW: Most stadium services
concentrate on 1 area: salvation, healing, or deliverance.
I’ve never
seen it to where it’s all 3 in 1. I said, “I’ve never experienced anything
like this before.”
He said, “I know.” It was
almost an excitement & such giddiness, like He’s been waiting for this moment.
He says, “I know. It’s a triple threat
movement.” (Triple threat to satan's kingdom.)
ANDREW: . He
said, “I want you to look in Scripture.” So
when I did, if you look at the Great Commission, He commanded them to preach
the gospel message of salvation. To heal the sick which is healing &
to cast
out devils, which is deliverance. He said, that is what we are equipped to do
today. The army of God is called, the people of God. Every believer is
called to walk in the triple threat anointing.

Living

"God has called us to 'incarnational living.' To get to the
end of a day & know undeniably that God showed up.
But it takes getting our
lives down under God. I have discovered at least 5 paths to getting down under
God.
These are not in any way formulaic but are patterns to tune your heart & life
into the centrality of God in living. They are:
1.Live out of
your core identity as a child of God
2.Value dependence on God more than mechanics
3.Pray for God's 'sacred anointing'
4.Seek to be filled with God
5.Aim for God's pleasure in living
Getting
under God requires a clear understanding of 2 simple words: 'do' and 'be'. All
too often, we define ourselves by what we have, what we do and to whom we are
related. God cares far more about who we are. If you are going to live out
the power and passion of Christ, you have to get a firm grip on your true
identity, because, quite frankly, even though the old one might get you an
interview with a person of power & influence, only your
identity in God's Son can empower you to speak Christ into another person and
make an eternal difference.
So to get a handle on life and live out what God has intended, you've got to
understand
a couple of things.
1st, we were born into a screwed-up world
dominated by the most screwed up-character of all time: Satan.
2nd,
you're not as good or as important as you may think.
At the other end of the
spectrum, there are individuals who need to get a grip because they think less
of themselves than they ought to. This is why both the ego-driven & the
self-deprecating need to get a grip: each will fail miserably in the things of
God unless they do. They don't need a human or a positive-thinking grip, but 1
based on truth and infused by the power of the Holy Spirit until it sets the
very marrow of their bones on fire! Your Heavenly Father provides the ultimate
make-over.
Scripture declares, 'For
Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that 1 died for all, &
therefore all died.
He died for all, that those who live should no longer live
for themselves but for him who died for them & was raised again.
So from
now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once
regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
Therefore, if anyone is in
Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come.'4
A path leads
from cold, lifeless religion to an experience that burns with zeal & fire.
This path involves four words: Instruction, Inspiration, Transformation and
Incarnation.
1.Instruction
- This is the receiving & taking in of truth & giving it mental assent &
agreement.
However, because instruction stops at this point, there is no
spiritual power because there is no submission to truth.
2.Inspiration - I am using this in the sense of a divine/human
transaction
that happens in the midst of worship.
3.Transformation - This is where my life & identity become more &
more conformed
to that of Christ.
I live with His strength and zeal.
4.Incarnation - This is a walk that shows forth the power & passion of
Christ, 1 where words are spoken, a cup of cold water is given and the person
is ablaze with the Spirit of God.
When certain spiritual things occur, it initially scares me, because I know I
couldn't have done it alone. This humbles me, fuels the fire in my bones &
explodes the ardor within me, because not only do I know I couldn't have
produced this, I know without a shadow
of doubt God Himself, reached down
through me to perform His will on earth.
It's only when you be who you are in Christ that you can do what
He calls you to do.
Here are some powerful truths (to profess/declare aloud TO yourself/your
circumstance/your problem/angels) about your new identity in Christ: (in God’s
family, in God’s kingdom)
(With God's Holy Spirit indwelling me:)

22.I am a citizen of heaven, seated in heaven (Phil. 3:20; Eph. 2:6).
(I have a birth
certificate & a passport.)
23.I am hidden with Christ in God (Col. 3:3).
24.I am chosen of God, wholly and dearly loved (Col. 3:12; 1 Thessalonians 1:4).
25.I am a son of light and not of darkness (I Thessalonians 5:5).
26.I am a holy partaker of a heavenly calling (Eph. 3:1).
27.I am a partaker of Christ, I share in His life (Hebrews 3:14).
28.I am one of God's living stones being built up in Christ as a spiritual house
(1 Peter 2:5)
29.I am a member of a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
for God's own possession (1 Peter 2:9-10).
30.I am an alien & stranger to this world (1 Peter 2:11). (I am an immigrant
with a visa & a green card.)
31.I am an enemy of the devil (1 Peter 5:8).
32.I am born of God & the evil one, can not have me (1 John 5:18).
33.I am NOT the Great 'I AM,' but by the grace of God I am what I am (1 Cor.
15:10)
(in Him,
because of Him.)

The extra oil symbolizes the baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Dorothy, 5 born again virgins did have oil (the Holy Spirit/salvation), but not extra oil, & thus were disqualified by the groom (Christ).

However, for Holy Spirit (Trinity) to
indwell/live/occupy us, we need to invite and accept Jesus to be our baptizer
in/with the Holy Spirit. Kat indicates that when Jesus baptizes us in/with
Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit TRADES a layer of Himself with a layer of our
self/soul. Like a rolladex, Holy Spirit is layered like our soul. Each
layer is a 100% copy of self. [Remember, this protocol occurred in 2 steps
in the New Testament 99% of the time. Typically the spiritual progression
is via Salvation, then water-baptism & then Holy Spirit
baptism (Pentecost/confirmation).]

Some manifestations of Holy Spirit are legitimate but misunderstood,
while other spiritual manifestations are in fact demonic (manifesting an evil
spirit), disguised as holy or healthy/holistic (such as Kundalini Yoga).

"Tell me How much time you spend with God & I will tell you how spiritual you
are." Leonard Ravenhill
Roberts, Evan with Pen-Lewis, Jesse - http://hissheep.org/deliverance/war_on_the_saints.html - Immediately after the honey-moon of the baptism in the Holy Spirit - "In preceding years (prior to one's baptism in the Holy Spirit), through yielding to (personal or ancestral) sin, an evil spirit may have obtained access to body or mind, hiding deeply...never...detected or dislodged (forgiven/renounced/ rejected/evicted)...They (the Christians) are left deceived to the end, unless light for their (need & acceptance of) deliverance (exorcism of the evil spirit/s) reaches them. (It is extremely important to have on-going spiritual fellowship & mature oversight/accountability. Additionally it is imperative for one to have read the Bible end to end & to continuously read and contemplate it. Immature/new Christians need to be brought up to speed quickly, especially in the area of demonic activity, discernment & spiritual self defense.)

SALVATION Peter'
knowing about Jesus was not enough; he had to know & accept Him personally.
He had to receive John's water baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM - However, neither was sufficient; Peter himself
needed the Holy Spirit baptism to operate in peace, power & fire.
BAPTISM OF SUFFERING - However they were only stepping stones; Peter
needed martyrdom (a baptism of suffering) for his crown & assigned crowning act.
The same applies to many disciples, but most of all to Jesus Christ, our role
model and perfector.
We each will be a toothless tiger without each of the
successive steps, especially without the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
Yes,
we need each of persons of the Trinity in our lives. We do right now
invite You Jesus into our heart, You Holy Spirit & You Father
God.
With Your help we make ourselves available to You in Your timing, in Jesus name.
Amen.
