Hi, there! How's life with you? Hope all things are going in the right direction for you today, and all your dogs are barking.
Today, I felt like suspending my teaching on the Holy Spirit in order to deal with the Holy Spirit Baptism aspect. Most times, whenever I teach on the Holy Spirit, most people only think that I teach about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, but that's hardly the case. I usually teach about the personality, the works and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
I want you to know and understand that God wants all human beings baptised in the Holy Spirit. God expressed this desire when He spoke through the Prophet Joel [Joel 2: 28]. He said, "Afterwards, I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh" and Peter quoted the same thing when he apoke on that Pentecost day when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the 120 believers that were together at the upper room in Jerusalem. He said, quoting from Joel, "In the last days, saith God, I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh".
1. God desires that you'll be filled with the Holy Spirit {and I don't care who you are}.
2. God has already provided the Holy Spirit for us here on the earth and all we need to do is receive Him (Acts 2: 38).
3. It is only the person who receives Jesus as Lord and Saviour that CAN RECIEVE the GIFT of the Holy Spirit - reason being that, sinners cannot recieve such a holy Person, but sinners whose sins are forgiven through faith in Jesus can.
