that time, nothing happened. I even got a little upset and I was like, "Okay, I thought that something really wild was supposed to happen." I even had a little fear there that something was going to pop off and it seemed like nothing had
01:35
Speaker A
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is probably one of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had. It actually launched me into ministry. In 2013, a deliverance minister laid his hands on me and asked the Holy Spirit to fill me.
01:50
Speaker A
me and all of a sudden it felt like the water got hot. The electric goodness of God came up on me and out of my belly come rivers of living water. Languages that I could not understand with my
02:02
Speaker A
Now, Jesus is the baptizer in the Holy Spirit and fire. No man can give that gift, only Jesus can. But this man laid hands on me and he asked the Lord Jesus to baptize me in the Holy Spirit. At that time, nothing happened.
02:16
Speaker A
started to see people healed. My boldness for Jesus increased to another level. My love for people just, you know, became so enormous. I would just stop people and chase them down. I just became different. I mean, that's what
02:29
Speaker A
I even got a little upset and I was like, "Okay, I thought that something really wild was supposed to happen." I even had a little fear there that something was going to pop off and it seemed like nothing had happened, but more happened in that moment than I thought because not too long after that day, I was in my shower and all of a sudden I remembered that prayer and out of my belly came this voice out of nowhere.
02:42
Speaker A
see when people are baptized with the Holy Spirit, there is an immense change that takes place. Now, as a minister of the gospel who travels the whole world and does revivals and has a church and has so many other things by the grace of
02:55
Speaker A
The water was on me and all of a sudden it felt like the water got hot. The electric goodness of God came up on me and out of my belly came rivers of living water. Languages that I could not understand with my carnal mind. I was speaking mysteries to God in a moment.
03:08
Speaker A
Holy Spirit. That means you're a saved. But being filled with the Holy Spirit is a whole different thing. It's called the empowering anointing or the anointing that comes upon you. The abiding anointing is the anointing that saves.
03:20
Speaker A
So, when that man prayed for me, it did happen. It just popped loose later on. And I remember my life became completely different after that. I started to see deliverance. I started to see people healed. My boldness for Jesus increased to another level.
03:32
Speaker A
prepared because if you're one of these people watching and you have not been baptized with the Holy Spirit, I'm going to give you five things that you can do to prepare your heart to receive. And I'm going to pray for you at the end
03:45
Speaker A
My love for people just, you know, became so enormous. I would just stop people and chase them down. I just became different. I mean, that's what happened to Peter, right? He went from denying Christ three times to coming out of the upper room after the Holy Spirit entered in and he was filled with boldness preaching the gospel and not loving his life even unto death.
03:59
Speaker A
Now, this is John the Baptist, right? But he that cometh after me is mightier than I, he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire. So, we see that Jesus Christ is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit and fire. The fire
04:15
Speaker A
So, we see when people are baptized with the Holy Spirit, there is an immense change that takes place. Now, as a minister of the gospel who travels the whole world and does revivals and has a church and has so many other things by the grace of God, I encounter people often who have not been filled with the Holy Spirit, but yet they're praying.
04:27
Speaker A
you that's keeping you from your Holy Ghost shine. Amen. Being that he is the baptizer in the Holy Spirit and fire, that means he can baptize people in that through men by the Holy Spirit. That's why when the apostles laid hands, people
04:40
Speaker A
Now, they've been sealed with the Holy Spirit because when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are sealed by the Holy Spirit. That means you're saved. But being filled with the Holy Spirit is a whole different thing.
04:52
Speaker A
8, but Peter said, "Simon, you better repent. Your bitter heart's getting you in trouble." Right? So, he said you can't buy the gift of the Holy Spirit.
05:01
Speaker A
It's called the empowering anointing or the anointing that comes upon you. The abiding anointing is the anointing that saves. The empowering anointing is for the ministry of everybody around you and that's why we get baptized with the Holy Spirit.
05:15
Speaker A
builds faith. It renews your mind and it also prepares your heart to receive from God. I mean, the word is amazing. The word is Jesus. When you anytime you look at the word, you are looking literally at Jesus Christ. And those words of
05:32
Speaker A
That's why Peter came out of the upper room and 3,000 people were saved that very day. But I want you to be prepared because if you're one of these people watching and you have not been baptized with the Holy Spirit, I'm going to give you five things that you can do to prepare your heart to receive.
05:47
Speaker A
the word of God, you have no faith because you're going to be filled with everything else other than faith. The world gives you doubt and unbelief, fear, all this stuff, right? But, the word of [snorts] God builds your faith
05:59
Speaker A
And I'm going to pray for you at the end that you will be filled with the Holy Spirit and you won't have this problem ever again. So, get ready. Your life is about to be changed forever.
06:13
Speaker A
and they are life." So, the more room God's word has in your heart, the less room unbelief has.
06:23
Speaker A
In Matthew chapter 3 verse 11, it says, "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance." Now, this is John the Baptist, right? But he that cometh after me is mightier than I, he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire.
06:42
Speaker A
if he's going to actually do it, right? Faith receives, doubt resists. It says in James chapter 1 verse 6 to 7, "But, let him ask in faith nothing wavering." For let not that man think he shall receive anything of the Lord.
07:00
Speaker A
So, we see that Jesus Christ is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit and fire. The fire part is to refine you into the gold because Jesus has called us to be his gold, right? So, we are gold to him.
07:10
Speaker A
little bit of something. You can't just come and say, "Ah, whatever." and walk away.
07:14
Speaker A
So, you need the refiner's fire to come upon you to burn away all that mess that's on you that's keeping you from your Holy Ghost shine. Amen. Being that he is the baptizer in the Holy Spirit and fire, that means he can baptize people in that through men by the Holy Spirit.
07:30
Speaker A
stressed, and we definitely wouldn't be Holy Ghost impressed. So, don't live by your feelings, live by faith. The just shall live by faith. The just does not live by sight, they live by faith. Amen.
07:42
Speaker A
That's why when the apostles laid hands, people received the Holy Spirit and the gift of the Holy Spirit. And also, Simon the sorcerer wanted to buy it because he saw it take place himself.
08:00
Speaker A
believe his promise first. Believe what God says in his word. You believe, you achieve in Jesus name.
08:07
Speaker A
So, it was something dynamic taking place that Simon the sorcerer wanted to buy in Acts chapter 8, but Peter said, "Simon, you better repent. Your bitter heart's getting you in trouble." Right? So, he said you can't buy the gift of the Holy Spirit.
08:19
Speaker A
is by faith. Hebrews 11:1 and Hebrews 11:6. Now, number three, you need to surrender every area of your life, not just some of your life.
08:31
Speaker A
So, this is something that is freely given. You can't pay for it. It's just given to you. Isn't that amazing? But let's jump into these five ways you can prepare your heart.
08:42
Speaker A
submitted people. So, you got to lay down your pride, your control, your hidden sin, anger, your own agenda. You got to lay it all down, all right? It's not about you, it's about him through you, and when he comes through you, he
08:58
Speaker A
So, number one, fill yourself with the word of God. The word builds faith. It renews your mind and it also prepares your heart to receive from God. I mean, the word is amazing. The word is Jesus.
09:17
Speaker A
also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him." Obedience is better than sacrifice. So, the more yielded your heart becomes, the easier it is to recognize the Holy Spirit's leading.
09:33
Speaker A
When you anytime you look at the word, you are looking literally at Jesus Christ. And those words of Jesus Christ come alive in your life. And what happens? Faith gets stirred.
09:47
Speaker A
What fellowship can light and darkness have together? None, right? So, you you have to make sure you're in a yielded place, that you're obedient, that you believe that God will do exactly what he says he will do. So, surrendering every
10:00
Speaker A
In Romans chapter 10 verse 17, it says, "So, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God." You have to hear the word of God to gain faith. Without the word of God, you have no faith because you're going to be filled with everything else other than faith.
10:07
Speaker A
You have to hunger and ask. You have not cuz you ask not. And God always responds to spiritual hunger.
10:17
Speaker A
The world gives you doubt and unbelief, fear, all this stuff, right? But, the word of God builds your faith because you read all of the promises that God has for you.
10:33
Speaker A
going to do. Now, Jesus said to ask, and we see this in Matthew chapter 5:6.
10:39
Speaker A
Also, in John chapter 6 verse 63, it says, "It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life."
10:49
Speaker A
So, they're hungering for righteousness. They're asking God, "God, fill me with your spirit. Lord, I want the things that you have. I want everything your kingdom has for me. I want to see your kingdom come, your will be done." You
11:01
Speaker A
So, the more room God's word has in your heart, the less room unbelief has. Now, number two, you have to believe God without doubting. Very necessary.
11:10
Speaker A
Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. So, spend time praying, spend time worshipping, and wait on him, and expect him to move. He's going to move. That's what he does. He moves on our behalf, because that's how he shows his glory to
11:29
Speaker A
Many people are asking while secretly wondering if God really wants to fill them. And that's a problem. How are you going to ask God to fill you then wonder if he's going to actually do it, right?
11:40
Speaker A
That's why it's so important to get baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire. Now, hungry hearts are receptive hearts.
11:46
Speaker A
Faith receives, doubt resists. It says in James chapter 1 verse 6 to 7, "But, let him ask in faith nothing wavering." For let not that man think he shall receive anything of the Lord.
11:59
Speaker A
mad because they expect God just to boom, right? And he can do that. But if you say you're a believer then you have to believe that he will reward those who diligently seek him.
12:09
Speaker A
So, when you come with doubt and unbelief, you're not going to receive from the Lord because you don't even believe. You have to come with a mustard seed of faith. You don't have to come with much, but you got to come with a little bit of something.
12:18
Speaker A
And number five, receive by faith, not by feelings. Now this is going to kind of back up what I've said earlier, but feelings are a big problem as we know.
12:28
Speaker A
You can't just come and say, "Ah, whatever," and walk away. You see? So, Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to believers. Believe his promises more than your feelings.
12:46
Speaker A
by faith. Now goosebumps happen, overwhelming things happen, right? When the Holy Spirit comes upon us. Some people scream, some people cry, they have experiences. That happens. I mean you see it in the Bible, it happened.
12:59
Speaker A
Your feelings can easily deceive you. So, if we live by feelings, we'd be a big mess, right? We wouldn't be blessed, we'd be stressed, and we definitely wouldn't be Holy Ghost impressed.
13:14
Speaker A
says. The encounters are for us, but the way we live by faith is for everybody else because it's our faith that's going to cause people to become saved and know Jesus Christ is Lord and savior. So the kingdom operates by faith.
13:28
Speaker A
So, don't live by your feelings, live by faith. The just shall live by faith. The just does not live by sight, they live by faith. Amen.
13:45
Speaker A
Hebrews chapter 11 verse 6, it says, "But without faith, it is impossible to please him." So, don't chase an emotional experience.
13:53
Speaker A
Luke chapter 11 verse 13 says, "If ye then being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?"
14:07
Speaker A
God. The second thing is believe God without doubting. The third thing is that you should surrender every area of your life. The fourth thing is you hunger and ask, and the fifth thing is you receive by faith, not by feelings. If you'll take what I
14:28
Speaker A
So, stop looking for a feeling first and just believe his promise first. Believe what God says in his word. You believe, you achieve in Jesus name.
14:39
Speaker A
listen, you don't have to make up anything with your mouth, and you're not going to do that if you speak by faith anyway. Some people are so full of themself that they won't even allow their tongue, their mouth, and their
14:50
Speaker A
voice to get going. You got to remember it's out of your belly, so there has to be something that comes forth. Your voice comes forth. If you just stand there quiet, you act like God's voice is just going to speak
15:01
Speaker A
through your mouth. Now, I'm not saying that can't happen, but you got to put action behind your faith. That means when I pray here in a minute, you got to you got to let that tongue go. The gift
15:10
Speaker A
of tongues is one of the evidences that you've been filled with the Holy Spirit.
15:14
Speaker A
One of the evidences. The other is boldness, prophesying, and of course the power of the Holy Spirit having its way in your life, and amazing things taking place. But, and well, ultimately the kingdom of God expanding, right? But,
15:27
Speaker A
speaking in tongues is a strong evidence. Now, I know people who speak in tongues are living like hell, right?
15:32
Speaker A
They need to repent. They went sideways. But, it is a gift that is for us that edifies us, and it's the Holy Spirit that's speaking through us mysteries to God. So, you want this gift, and you want this gift to flow out of you. And
15:45
Speaker A
I've seen people have powerful encounters when this happens. Now, are you always going to feel something when you do this? No, because you're doing it by faith. But, some of you are going to have an amazing experience as I pray.
15:57
Speaker A
So, just say this. First of all, you need to say, "Lord Jesus, I repent of all my sins.
16:05
Speaker A
I am not a sinner. I am a saint. I am a son of God because what you have done at the cross of Calvary has grafted me into your kingdom.
16:16
Speaker A
I am now fathered by the Father. I ask you now, Lord Jesus Christ, as it says in your word, for the gift of the Holy Spirit, for the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire.
16:32
Speaker A
You are the one who gives that. So, I ask you right now, Lord Jesus Christ, fill me with the Holy Spirit and with fire, and awaken my prayer language now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
16:49
Speaker A
Amen. If you prayed that, I believe the Holy Spirit is about to come up on you, and is going to burst forth from you, and you're going to have a new language.
16:59
Speaker A
Amen. A new spirit, a new prayer language for the glory of God, and it's going to be amazing, and you're going to go further than ever before. So, Father, I come into agreement with this prayer right now.
17:10
Speaker A
I ask you, Lord, because you are faithful, and you reward those people who seek you. I ask you now to bypass [snorts] every area of their life, any area in their mind that they have doubt and unbelief. I pray, Father, that it will
17:24
Speaker A
be removed now. And I ask you now, Lord Jesus Christ, to baptize this saint right now from the crown of their head to the soles of their feet with the Holy Spirit and fire. Now, receive in Jesus' mighty name. Now, I'm going to
17:42
Speaker A
start speaking in tongues and you just roll with me. You are being filled now with the Holy Ghost. There are There is a shift happening. Out of your belly is coming rivers of living water.
18:34
Speaker A
Be filled with the Holy Ghost and fire in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Now, I can even sense by the spirit some of you are getting set free from demonic things. Some of that stuff that's been burdening you is lifting from you.
18:49
Speaker A
People are being healed. People are being filled with the Holy Ghost. It is yours and it is totally free in Jesus' name. Amen and amen. Now, listen, you got to go in the comment section and you need to let me know what just happened
19:03
Speaker A
cuz I know amazing things just took place for some people. And somebody watching this, you may have just struggled a little bit. Go back, listen to this, study the word, come back, and start doing it again, and believe. You
19:16
Speaker A
know, keep punching that door until that door opens wide open, and now you have your prayer language, now you're filled with the Holy Spirit, and now you can go forward and do even greater things for Jesus Christ. But, let me know in the
19:27
Speaker A
comments section what happened. Let me know if this teaching helped you, and of course it did because it comes straight from the word of God. Amen. Amen.
