FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT







 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In the book of Genesis we read how God created the heavens and the earth. He created the waters, the grass, the trees, the sun, the moon and all the animals. In Genesis 2:7: The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. The same God of creation wants to fill you with His Holy Spirit

After Jesus died and was resurrected, his disciples were gathered together in a house with the doors locked. Jesus suddenly appeared to them and said “peace to you”. He showed them his hands and his feet so that they would know that it was truly him. Jesus repeated his greeting, “Peace to you!” And he told them, “Just as the Father has sent me, I’m now sending you.”  He then breathed on them and said,  “Receive the Holy Spirit. That word breathed in John 20:22 is the very same word as Genesis 2:7: 'And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
 
Being filled with the Holy Spirit is available to every believer. He wants to fill you with that same Spirit that created the heavens and the earth, healed the sick and raised Jesus from the dead. In Acts 2: When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues. That word Spirit (Or Ghost) is ‘pneuma” in the original context (Strongs concordance G4151) which is actually the third person of the triune God, the Holy Spirit, coequal, co eternal with the Father and the Son.
 
When we are filled with the Holy Spirit we will do the same works as Jesus disciples and apostles did. In Acts 5:12 many signs and wonders were done among the people through the apostles hands and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch. In the book of Luke Jesus sent out seventy disciples. They came back rejoicing saying “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. (This proves that He was God and He was there before the world was created)  and He said “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you”.

Jesus wants to equip and fill His people to do great exploits. Just as the Lord performed extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out. In Acts 10:44 When Peter was ministering he was amazed that the Holy Spirit fell upon the Gentiles and they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in tongues and magnifying God..Peter said, “How could anyone object to these people being baptized? For they have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” 

The Lord wants to release dunamis power and quicken your mortal body. He wants to bring resuscitation to your spirit as you get filled with the Holy Spirit. Being filled with the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues is available to every believer. Jesus said, you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and all the earth. That which the Lord has intended to do through us in these last days could be accomplished as we "receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit" and be endued with power from on high. Then we will be able to minister with excellent with miracles, signs and wonders to this generation.

 
Genesis 2:7 
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
 
John 20: 21-22
So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 
 
Acts 2:1-4 (TPT)
On the day Pentecost was being fulfilled, all the disciples were gathered in one place. Suddenly they heard the sound of a violent blast of wind rushing into the house[c] from out of the heavenly realm. The roar of the wind was so overpowering it was all anyone could bear! Then all at once a pillar of fire appeared before their eyes, It separated into tongues of fire that engulfed each one of them. They were all filled and equipped[f] with the Holy Spirit and were inspired [ to speak in tongues—empowered by the Spirit to speak in languages they had never learned!
 
Praise The Lord

Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power

   October 16, 2014 Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power In the First book of Corinthians Chapter two, Paul told the Corinthian church that he did not come with eloquence of speech or carnal persuasiveness, but with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Paul did not speak mere words of man, but he ministered in demonstration with miracles, signs and wonders following. When Paul prayed for people they were healed, set free, delivered, and even the dead were raised. He told the people that their faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. The Lord says; This is a new day. You are the generation who will walk in authority, power and demonstration of My kingdom. I am releasing My glory on this earth as it is in heaven. You have been created as conduits to be used in miracles, signs and wonders. I am looking for those who will speak to the mountains, rather than encircle the mountains repeatedly. I am lookin...

"HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE"

Image
June 10, 2016 "HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE" The Holy Spirit showed me a campfire that had died out but underneath, the embers were still red hot.  The embers radiated heat long after the fire was out and could easily ignite again if they were stoked, poked or if the wind blew upon them.  The embers were smoldering which means that they were still burning, yet without a flame. The Lord gave me this analogy from Leviticus 9:23-24 of how God supernaturally sent fire on the altar for the burnt offerings.  Although the fire was kindled by God Himself, the priests had to continually keep it from ever dying out.  This required a regular removal of the ashes and anything which would prevent the fire from burning. Jesus is rekindling the fires that have gone out of His people so that we will become a flame of fire for His glory. The Lord says I am igniting the lives of My people once again to go out into all the world an...

“The Desert Places and The Resting Places Encounter – January 16, 2019”

Image
                          As I lay down to rest, the Lord came and invited me to follow him. In the vision, I get up and follow him and find myself walking in a vast hot desert. All around us are sand dunes as far as I could see. The wind was hot and was blowing sand on us as we went. My feet were struggling to keep up with the Lord as He purposefully trudged forwards to His destination. I pressed harder in the soft sand and said, “Lord, where are we going?” The Lord just kept walking. After awhile, the Lord slowed down and I saw that we came to a place where there was an old well in a cleft among the dunes. It was ancient, well used, and it had old dry clay built up all around the sides. There was an old clay jar laying by the well that still had an old rope tied to it.   The Lord leaned against the edge of the well and asked me if I wanted a drink. I was amazed that He asked su...
