Did You Resceive The Spirit?

19:1 And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples

2 he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?"

So they said to him, "We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit."

3 And he said to them, "Into what then were you baptized?"
So they said, "Into John’s baptism."

4 Then Paul said, "John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would 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 hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

　

Good morning friends and family!

Todays Challenge: Read Acts chapter 19, then test yourself and see if you have been changed by the power of God, to see if indeed you have resceived the Holy Spirit.

Some will say that the true result will be to speak in what is called tongues, the type that they speak of is to speak as if to babble. This is due to miss guided messages being aloud to carry on through generations for lack of better understanding.

The true result is that you will pray or speak out, by the spirit of adoption, calling out to God as Abba - Father and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. This is the tongue of the redeemed. Please don't be missled. The unknown tongue that others speak of is a gift of the Spirit allowing us to speak or pray with a heavenly language, but not all have this gift and that is totally OK! OK?

The other result is that you will have a desire and an understanding to see others saved as well.
 I think that Charles Spurgen said it best when He stated," Do you not have a desire to see others saved then you are not saved yourself, believe that"! ...

The Holy Spirit is the difference. He is the one who brings us to gether with the Father, He's the connection . The one who connect's our spirit with the spirit of God, and in order to connect with the Spirit we must repent of all that is sin and ask the Lord to fill us with His Spirit. Jesus said that the time will come and now is that all who worship the Lord will worship Him in Spirit and in truth. So come to Him in truth of all that is inside you, confess your sins to Him and follow Him with all your heart, In Jesus name!
........and above all else LoveEachOther and trust in Jesus.
