Baptism with Fire - Presence of the Holy Spirit

There is nothing like the Glory of the Lord! It is like Winds of Refreshing, and that creates an atmosphere for Healing's, Sign and Wonders.  Joel says in verses 28-29:

It will come about after this
That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind;
And your sons and daughters will prophesy,
Your old men will dream dreams,
Your young men will see visions.
 Even on the male and female servants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days. 

“To pour out” signifies “communication in rich abundance, like a rainfall or waterfall.” It is true the Spirit of God is the only inward bond He has with His people, but the outpouring in abundance with the gift of the Holy Spirit was confined to the few whom God chose. Jesus promised that He would continue the works He did on earth, and even greater works, through those who believe in Him. “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (John 14:12 – 13) If we stay focused on Jesus’ commands and move with His compassion we will manifest and reveal the glory of God on the earth, and in greater ways, so that God will be glorified. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. (Matthew 10:7–8). It is all about being hungry for the Presence of the Lord and to start walking in the supernatural that God has prepared for us. Nothing is impossible for them that are in Christ Jesus.


The bible says we are seated with Christ in Heavenly places. We are from above and not beneath so that means we are not limited by this world but there is a Power of God working in our life's that enable the Law of Faith that we can walk in an Atmosphere of Heaven. The Word says, In Christ we Live and Move and Have our Beings. That means that as Christ walked we are. Nothing is impossible for them that Believe and if you apply the Word of God in your Life, it will enable you to walk in the Supernatural. We have Received the Holy Spirit that is the Kingdom of God in us so we have Heaven living in us. 


God is more real than you can ever imagine!    

John 4:14 But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” Verse 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God wanted true worshipers that will worship Him in Spirit and Truth! That means that God wants you to worship Him with your whole heart and the outflow of your Life must be to Glorify Him. If we fill ourself's up with His Word and start walking in the Presence of the Lord allowing the Holy Spirit to take control of our life's,  that will bring an Heavenly Worship into our churches and environments. We are dependent on the Holy Spirit for it is not by our power or might but by my Spirit sayest the Lord! 

We must live life's of Christ likeness, we are representing the Kingdom of God as Jesus did. Jesus brought Heaven with Him. And nothing was impossible for Him there was no restrictions for the Laws of the natural did not apply to Jesus. He had a Heavenly Life here on earth. We have been made partakers with Christ, isn't that excited! He gave us All Power and Dominion nothing is impossible for us. The Word is not only a letter but it is alive, breathed by the Holy Spirit it is powerful! It is all about our Identities, who we are and what was bestowed on us. We are carriers of the Glory of God. Most people does not even reach what God has for them, because they are not willing to Sacrifice the natural(Flesh) for the Spiritual! You cannot have alive that is balanced if you want the fullness of God in your life. You have to sacrifice the things of this World and be separated for the Gospel.  I have seen the Glory of the Lord in the church and have seen how people were being touch by the Spirit of the Lord, Healed and Delivered. God is looking for a man and women that says here I am Lord use me. I have decided I want to reach my purpose and destiny in Christ and oh what a small sacrifice for what Jesus has done for us the price that was paid.  You have to become thirsty for the presence of the Lord if you are in His anointing. The day we gave our hearts to the Lord our nature changed and we became sons of God. 

    

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that commeth after me, is mightier then I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear, he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with Fire. Matt3:11

We need to be baptized by Fire so that we will have a Fire to reach the nations. Many people tries to Live a life according to there abilities and wants to live a life according to there works. But when we are filled with the Holy Spirit(Filled with Fire) you will be filled with Power and there will be no affords. Your desire will be souls and souls and to preach the Gospel to the Lost .  

Initially on the Day of Pentecost as many disciples were baptized in the Holy Spirit as 

evidenced by speaking in other tongues, being empowered to witness the gospel. Peter then 

mentioned in Acts 2:38-39 that this same charismatic gift was available to all who are repentant 

and believe in Jesus, “And Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the 

name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy 

Spirit. For the promise is for you and your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the 

Lord our God shall call to Himself.” The charismatic gift of the Holy Spirit is universally 

available to all believers, potentially. The book of Acts documents five incidents over a period of 

twenty-five years where the baptism in the Holy Spirit came upon various kinds of believers. 

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they (the 12 apostles and other disciples) were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Without a doubt, this was also a remarkable and phenomenal event. In fulfillment of what the Lord had promised before He returned to heaven, these apostles and disciples were at this time "baptized with the Holy Ghost" and received "power from on high" in connection with it. (cf. Acts 1:4 5,8) The Holy Ghost came upon them as so described, and they began miraculously uttering forth in other languages "the wonderful works of God". This was truly astounding and impressed the Jews from every nation which were then dwelling at Jerusalem. As verses 6-7 declare they were all "confounded" and were "all amazed and marveled.

How hungry are you for God, and for His Presence in your Life. We saw that in History the greatest outpourings came by people that was so hungry for a move of God and were willing to spend hours in prayer and the Word. They seeked God's face night and day until God gave them there hearts desire and pour out upon there gatherings and towns and cities were change. If you want God to move in your life love Him with all your heart! Take the Word and "eat it" by putting it in your spirit. Oh how wonderful is the Glory of God. It is not about money and doctrines and theories but it is pure God. He uses the simple and pure of Heart! Those that say Lord Jesus use me for your Glory. I want your Holy Spirit I want a Life that is filled with your Glory.  God is waiting for you surrender everything to Him!

     

Don't limit yourself start walking from Glory to Glory!  Greater is He that is in you than He that is in the world! And you can do all things through Jesus Christ!

Jesus Loves you!
