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 (Acts 19:2).
God desires that we receive the infilling of the
Holy Spirit, so we can experience and demonstrate His power as He imparts our
spirits with the divine enablement, to live the victorious Christian life. If you've not received the Holy Spirit, you can do so even now, and I’ll show you
how.
First, there’re several ways to receive the
infilling of the Holy Spirit. During the Apostle Paul’s missionary journey
through Asia, he met twelve men in Ephesus who had not received the Holy
Spirit. The Bible records that "…when Paul had laid his hands upon them,
the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied"
(Acts 19:6).
This is one of the ways to receive the infilling of
the Holy Spirit. Those men had to have someone else, who had received the
fullness of the Spirit, lay hands on them, and pray over them. So, if you have
not received the infilling of the Holy Spirit, you can have someone (who’s full
of the Spirit) lay hands on you, and you’ll receive.
Secondly, you can receive the Holy Spirit by asking
in prayer. The Lord Jesus said in Luke 11:13, "…how much more shall your
heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?" You can ask
the Father in faith, in the Name of Jesus, and receive the Holy Spirit. In
fact, during one of our Live TV Programmes, a young Christian asked if it was
possible to receive the Holy Spirit while watching from another country.
Emphatically yes! Beautifully, while I prayed by the power of the Holy Spirit
for those in that category, who were watching from different parts of the
world, he received the Holy Spirit, along with many others. We received several
similar testimonies afterwards.
No matter where you are, you can receive not only a
miracle of healing or any other kind of miracle, you can receive the Holy
Spirit! The Holy Spirit is the secret of success for every believer. Having Him
in your life means you’re set up for an extraordinary life of excellence and
the supernatural. He’s the One to lead you through life, and direct your steps
in victory, glory, dominion and power.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the Holy Spirit, who lives
in me. He’s filled me with wisdom, glory and grace, and has imparted me with
divine enablement to live the victorious life in Christ, and demonstrate your
righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
