Read Luke 24:49 – I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. The Holy Spirit is the Promise of the Father!
Have you received the Promise of the Father since you believed? Did you know that the Father promised you the Holy Spirit? Did you know and decide you did not want His Promise? How will you answer Him if you don't receive His Promise because you ignored or refused Him? Man of God, if the Father is so gracious to send us the Holy Spirit why would you not greet Him into your life? If you are living without the Promise of the Father you are living below your privilege. No man can conquer the powers of this world in his own might. No man has the wisdom to make all the right decisions without the help of the Holy Spirit. It is arrogance to ignore what God has sent to help us. Bow your knee today and welcome the Holy Spirit into your life!
