Yes)
A businessman saved a child who was dying in a car accident and paid all the medical expenses. And I thought proudly. But 30 years later he became the most evil man and went to prison.
It would have been better for Judas Iscariot not to have been born.
to think
You must be baptized in the Holy Spirit to be a true Christian. Therefore, all of our beloved saints must be baptized with the Holy Spirit. Of course this is not what I want to receive. Because it is God who gives the Holy Spirit, it is the heart of the giver. But if we please God, God will give us the filling of the Holy Spirit.
“Rejoice in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. ”
And Jesus said
“If you, though evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
Therefore, dear saints, I sincerely pray that you will be filled with the Holy Spirit and become powerful saints.
1. What is the baptism of the Holy Spirit?
What is Holy Spirit Serenity?
It can be said that it is the work of God's Spirit and I becoming fully one with the Spirit of God as my flesh is broken through the Spirit of God and the lusts and desires of the flesh are washed clean and the spirit is renewed.
When I receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, a completely new and amazing change takes place in my mind, heart, and spirit. This is different from simply speaking positively. It is also different from a positive attitude. The Spirit of God controls me, so my thoughts do not guide me, but the Spirit of God guides me. Therefore, unless we are baptized in the Holy Spirit, the perfect Lord cannot become a disciple.
Therefore, dear believers, I hope you will receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
2. God's Promises Through Prophets
This baptism of the Holy Spirit was prophesied by the prophets of the Old Testament.
“Afterward I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions, and then I will pour out my Spirit on male and female servants.”
3. Promise through John the Baptist
“I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, and I am not worthy to take on his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.”
4. Jesus himself promised
“I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you forever.”
5. The work of the Holy Spirit in the early church
Today's text speaks about the appearance of the Holy Spirit who first appeared on earth in the early church.
To explain today's situation:
After being resurrected, Jesus was on the earth for about 40 days and appeared to his disciples 11 times. And he comforted his disciples in various ways and told them that they would ascend to heaven. And finally, he told them not to leave Jerusalem and wait. The reason is that we cannot do anything at present, but we will send the Holy Spirit, because when the Holy Spirit comes upon us, we have the courage, strength, and ability to do anything.
“They gathered together with the apostles and commanded them, saying, ‘Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard from me. John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Ascension of Jesus
And when they saw him, he ascended to heaven, and the cloud was covered up from view. Then I wish there was a sound in the clouds
“Men of Galilee, why do you stand and look into the sky? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”
At that time, about 500 people saw this scene.
Pentecost
About 500 people scattered and about 120 gathered in Mark's attic, locked the door inside, and prayed every day.
And on the tenth day. At this time, as usual, while longing for the Lord, he was devoted to prayer. Then suddenly, a strange air current in the room starts flowing. A sound like a rushing, strong wind fills the room. And the hearts of the 120 saints begin to warm. And a fire passes over the heads of each person, and everyone who sees the fire begins to speak in tongues and turn over. It begins to be engulfed in hot flames.
The Holy Spirit promised by the Lord has come. All 120 people were filled with the Holy Spirit. This is the work of the Holy Spirit that first fell on the branch.
Disciples who received the Holy Spirit and were transformed
Dear saints,
This is not the case with the early church alone. Even in our day, the work of the Holy Spirit still appears. God is the same yesterday and today. Therefore, I hope that all of us will be filled with the Holy Spirit and become powerful saints.
The work of the Holy Spirit is now appearing in Jaesong Church. And God wants all believers to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. We must go forward like the disciples of the early church and change the reconciliation. And we need to transform Haeundae into Busan. Not only that, but we must also change Korea and change the whole world.
At the center of it, the work of the Holy Spirit appears as a power and I pray that you will be used as the tools of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus.
