Intro
The Lord Suddenly Spoke to me Today and said,
"You're the only one out here with My Spirit in you. Everyone else believes in Me, but they don't ask me for My power. You need My power to conquer sin, the devil and the world. Do you know why I told you that? Because I want you to tell them to
'Come'" ...
"Come Unto Me"

Matthew 11:28-30
Authorized (King James) Version
28 Come unto me,
all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Empowered by the Holy Spirit
To Live a Life of Holiness

The Holy Spirit is the Power of God
That Conquers Sin, the Devil and the World
Acts 1:1-8
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
Wait (v. 4),
Receive, (v. 8),
Witness (v. 8)
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus,
of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 until the day in which he was taken up {to the clouds},
after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 3 to whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs,
being seen of them forty days,
and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
4 and, being assembled together with them,
commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem,
but wait for the promise of the Father,
which, saith he,
ye have heard of me.
5 For John truly baptized with water;
but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying,
Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 And he said unto them,
It is not for you to know the times or the seasons,
which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But ye shall receive power,
after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem,
and in all Judæa,
and in Samaria,
and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

To Receive the Holy Spirit
Is Called Getting Born-Again
John 3:1-21
Authorized (King James) Version
Born-Again by the Holy Spirit
Through Faith in Jesus
Born-Again by the Holy Spirit
(vv. 1-8)
3 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him,
Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God:
for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him,
How can a man be born when he is old?
can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth,
and thou hearest the sound thereof,
but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth:
so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Born-Again Through Faith in Jesus
(vv. 9-21)
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him,
How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
We speak that we do know,
and testify that we have seen;
and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things,
and ye believe not,
how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven,
but he that came down from heaven,
even {I} the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent {into the air}
in the wilderness,
even so must {I} the Son of man be lifted up {from the earth into the air on a tree - the Cross}:
15 that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned:
but he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation,
that light is come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light,
neither cometh to the light,
lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light,
that his deeds may be made manifest,
that they are wrought in God.
And the Baptism into the Holy Spirit

Acts 2:1-4
Authorized (King James) Version
2 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come,
they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind,
and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire,
and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost,
and began to speak with other tongues,
as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Faith in Jesus is Not Enough
You Must be Born-Again
Acts 19:1-6
Authorized (King James) Version
19 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth,
Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus:
and finding certain disciples,
2 he said unto them,
Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?
And they said unto him,
We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
3 And he said unto them,
Unto what then were ye baptized?
And they said,
Unto John’s baptism.
4 Then said Paul,
John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance,
saying unto the people,
that they should believe on him which should come after him,
that is, on Christ Jesus.
5 When they heard this,
they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them,
the Holy Ghost came on them;
and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
The Devil's Believe Like You Do
Faith Is Not Enough
To Be Saved from Sin, the Devil and the World
You Must Be Born-Again
James 2:14-26
Authorized (King James) Version
14 What doth it profit, my brethren,
though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 and one of you say unto them,
Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled;
notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body;
what doth it profit?
17 Even so faith,
if it hath not works,
is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say,
Thou hast faith, and I have works:
shew me thy faith without thy works,
and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God;
thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works,
when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works,
and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith,
Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness:
and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified,
and not by faith only.
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works,
when she had received the messengers,
and had sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead,
so faith without works is dead also.
Come to the Waters
Revelation 22:12-17
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
12 And, behold,
I {Jesus} come quickly;
and my reward is with me,
to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the end,
the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do {God's} commandments,
that they may have right to the tree of life,
and may enter in through the gates into the city {the New Jerusalem}.
15 For without are dogs,
and sorcerers,
and whoremongers,
and murderers,
and idolaters,
and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.
I am the root and the offspring of David,
and the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say,
Come.
And let him that heareth say,
Come.
And let him that is athirst
come.
And whosoever will,
let him take the water of life freely.
Isaiah 55
Authorized (King James) Version
55 Ho, every one that thirsteth,
come ye to the waters,
and he that hath no money;
come ye,
buy, and eat;
yea, come,
buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread?
and your labour for that which satisfieth not?
hearken diligently unto me,
and eat ye that which is good,
and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Incline your ear,
and come unto me:
hear, and your soul shall live;
and I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
even the sure mercies of David.
4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people,
a leader and commander to the people.
5 Behold,
thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not,
and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee
because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel;
for he hath glorified thee.
6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found,
call ye upon him while he is near:
7 let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts:
and let him return unto the Lord,
and he will have mercy upon him;
and to our God,
for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,
saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down,
and the snow from heaven,
and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth,
and maketh it bring forth and bud,
that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:
it shall not return unto me void,
but it shall accomplish that which I please,
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace:
the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree,
and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree:
and it shall be to the Lord for a name,
for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
Outro,
Jesus said in the Intro above that people need His power; the power of God, to conquer sin, the devil and the world. The Holy Spirit told us in the Bible passages that followed the Intro that He, the Holy Spirit, is the power of God to conquer sin, the devil and the world. That, we receive God's power when the Holy Spirit comes upon us.
Finally, the Holy Spirit showed with more Bible passages that when the Holy Spirit comes upon us in power is called getting born-again and the baptism into the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit makes us born-again through faith in Jesus. Once we receive God's power through the Holy Spirit, it is to be a witness about Jesus. This means that we testify what happened to us when we believed in Jesus and got the Holy Spirit. It's called giving our "testimony", "witnessing" and the "Great Commission". We give our testimony in the power of the Holy Spirit with signs following our witnessing. The Holy Spirit empowers our witnessing with spiritual gifts, miracles and salvation. People getting saved through faith in Jesus and baptized into the Holy Spirit at our witnessing because the Holy Spirit is inside the believer giving power and demonstration to our witness about Jesus.
The Born-Again Experience is Salvation
The Holy Spirit Makes Us Born -Again and is the Lord Our Savior
Like God the Father and Jesus Are
Titus 3:4-7
Authorized (King James) Version
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 not by works of righteousness which we have done,
but according to his mercy he saved us,
by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 that being justified by his grace,
we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
The Holy Spirit Makes Us Born-Again
Ezekiel 36:25-27
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you
{the word of God - scripture - Jn. 15:1-3},
and ye shall be clean:
from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart also will I give you,
and a new spirit will I put within you:
and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh,
and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you,
and cause you to walk in my statutes,
and ye shall keep my judgments,
and do them.
The New Birth
2 Corinthians 5:17
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away {dead};
behold, all things are become new.
Our Testimony
Revelation 12:11
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
11 And they {conquered the devil} by the blood of {Jesus} the Lamb {of God},
and by the word of their testimony;
and they loved not their lives unto the death.
The Great Commission
Matthew 28:18-20
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
Go and Teach
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them {in water} in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo,
I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world.
Amen.
Mark 16:15-20
Authorized (King James) Version
Go and Preach
15 And he said unto them,
Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe;
In my name shall they cast out devils;
they shall speak with new tongues;
18 they shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them;
they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven,
and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached every where,
the Lord working with them,
and confirming the word with signs following.
Amen.
Your Spiritual Gifts in the Baptism into the Holy Spirit
Are Your Title & Office of Service to God
The Power of God
And the Spiritual Gifts
Are the Signs That Follow Your Preaching,
Witnessing and Testimony
1 Corinthians 12:1-11
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles,
carried away unto these dumb idols,
even as ye were led.
3 Wherefore I give you to understand,
that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed:
and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord,
but by the Holy Ghost.
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same {Holy} Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord {Jesus}.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God {the Father} which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;
to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 to another faith by the same Spirit;
to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 to another the working of miracles;
to another prophecy;
to another discerning of spirits;
to another divers kinds of tongues;
to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit,
dividing to every man severally as he will.
The Point of This Message
Receive the Holy Spirit
If you believe in Jesus but have not been born again, or don't know if you have been born again, I can give the Holy Spirit to you through the word about Him. Jesus said to receive the Holy Spirit to simply ask God the Father for Him ... if you are expecting the Holy Spirit to come upon you, He will come ...
There are believers and there are born-again believers. Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed in Jesus? Without the Holy Spirit inside you, you will not conquer sin, the devil and the world ... Jesus says to ask God for Him ...
Luke 11:9-13
Authorized (King James) Version
9 And I say unto you,
Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth;
and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone?
or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13 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?
An Offering
The Sinner's Prayer
The Confession of the Word of Faith in Christ
Romans 10:6-17
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
God's Saving & Healing Power in the Bible
The Word of Faith & Salvation
6 But the {right standing with God} which {comes from biblically created faith}
speaks {in this way in the Bible about how to get saved through faith from sin & death},
"Say not in {your} heart, 'Who shall ascend into heaven'"? {Dt. 30:12}
(that is, to bring Christ down from above).
7 or, "Who shall descend into the deep?" {Dt. 30:13}
(that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead).
8 But what {does} it {say}?
"The word is {near you}. {It is in your} mouth, and in {your} heart
{from hearing the scriptures - Pr. 4:20-27}.
That is, the word of faith, which we preach.
9 That if you shall confess with {your} mouth the Lord Jesus
and shall believe in {your} heart that God has raised Him from the dead,
you shall be saved {from sin & death}.
10 For with the heart man believes {the scriptures about Jesus giving him right standing before God}
and with the mouth confession {of these scriptures about Jesus} is made
giving him God's salvation from sin & death through that confession of faith in Christ}.
11 For the scripture {says},
"Whoever believes on {Jesus the Son of God} shall not be ashamed" {Isa. 28:16}.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the {Gentile}.
For the same Lord over all is rich {in faith & salvation} to all that call upon Him {through the scriptures}. 13 "For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord {Jesus}
shall be saved {from sin & death - Joel 2:32}.
14 How then shall they call on {Christ for salvation from sin & death}
if {they do not believe in Him}?
And how shall they believe in {Christ if} they have not {first} heard about Him?
And how shall they hear without a preacher {telling them what the scriptures say about Him}?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent {by God to do this}?
As it is written,
"How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace
{with God through faith in His Son Jesus} and bring glad tidings of good things"! {Isa. 52:7}
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel.
For {Isaiah says},
"Lord, who has believed our report {in the Old Testament prophecies that God's Son Jesus
is the long-awaited and prophesied Savior from sin & death"? {Isa. 53:1}
17 So then faith {in Christ as the Lord & Savior from sin & death}
comes by hearing, and hearing by {what} the word of God {the Bible prophecies say about Him.
To get faith to call upon the Lord Jesus for salvation from sin & death,
listen to what God's preachers tell you about Jesus & read for yourself what the Bible says about Him}.
Got it? What the Holy Spirit is saying in this passage is that to get saved, you need to do verses 9 and 10 highlighted in bold case above. That is, confess with your mouth the scriptures about Jesus being the Lord of sin and death because you believe them, and you will be saved from sin and death by your confession of faith in what the Bible says about Jesus dying and raising from the dead for your sins.
The Holy Spirit is telling you in this passage that if you want to believe in Jesus and be saved from sin and death, then read what the Bible says about Him, because faith in Jesus comes, or, is created in your heart and mouth, when you read the Bible. Read what the Bible says about the Lord Jesus in the New Testament and you will be saved when you tell God and this world that you believe what the Bible says about Jesus. To do this is called the Confession of the Word of Faith in Christ, and the Sinner's Prayer. Let me lead you in the Sinner's Prayer.
The Sinner's Prayer
The Confession of the Word of Faith in Christ the Lord
"Lord Jesus. I believe in You. I believe that you died for my sins and rose from the dead and that you are alive today right here with me now as I tell you that I believe in You".
"Please forgive me of my sins through my faith in your shed Blood on the Cross, and please raise me from the dead by my faith in Your resurrection. Thank you, Lord, for saving me from sin and death. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen".
Get out your Bible out and read John, Acts and Romans in the New Testament while you listen to the Playlist below...and know that the tears that flood your eyes when you pray the Sinner's Prayer are coming from the Presence of God. That's God the Holy Spirit you're sensing and that's why you're crying as you pray this prayer. God is love (1 Jn. 4:7, 8) and when you meet Him, you can't but cry around Him. It's called "godly sorrow" (2 Cor. 7:9-11).
Now, I want to use my anointing & authority in Christ to baptize you into the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is Heaven's guarantee. There are believers, and there are born again believers (Acts 19:1-6). Please pray this prayer below and you will meet God the Holy Spirit instantly...
The Holy Spirit Is Heaven's Guarantee
Ephesians 1:13, 14
Living Bible
{Paraphrased}
13 And because of what Christ did {on the Cross}, all you others too, who heard the Good News about how to be saved, and trusted Christ, were marked as belonging to Christ by the Holy Spirit, who long ago had been promised to all of us Christians.
14 His presence within us is God’s guarantee that he really will give us all that he promised;
and the Spirit’s seal upon us means that God has already purchased us and that he guarantees
to bring us to himself.
This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God.
My Prophetic Intercession for Your Baptism into the Holy Spirit
Since you are reading my Page and hearing Jesus call you to the Rapture here,
I will use my Prophetic Anointing and ask the Holy Spirit to give me a prayer for you
to be baptized into the Holy Spirit NOW.
Read the prayer and receive the Holy Spirit...
"I am using my anointing and authority with Christ to pronounce you dead in Christ
And renewed to life by the Ever-Living Presence of God."
said the Holy Ghost...
"NOW RETURN TO ME AND BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST!"
said the Lord Jesus...
