People of God, I want us to understand that Jesus is the baptizer with the Holy Spirit and He is the son of God. He told His disciples in the books of Acts to go to the upper room to receive power when the Holy Spirit has come [Acts 1:8]. We must be good receivers, but one of the problems we have is that we are bad receivers. We were given the Holy Spirit who is the third in the Trinity, right from Genesis but we have forbidden Him. Instead of taking him to the goal and scores for us, we have forbidden him.
Listen: He said, But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; Why power? Power is the first of the seven spirits of God revealed in Revelation 5:12. Individually, you need the power or else, you will be useless. Beloved, God is willing to release that power but it comes through the person of the Holy Spirit. Why not Jesus or God Himself? Because He is the God of order. He is the maker and the designer, and His son [Jesus] is our redeemer who connects us back to Him and the Holy Spirit is our protector. Listen to this: whenever you see people confused, just know that there’s another spirit driving them because in heaven there’s no confusion. Where order is, there’s liberty and freedom. When the Holy Spirit comes, you are at liberty to better yourself. The Holy Spirit came to protect the whole earth; He hovered over it and went above the darkness [Genesis 1:2]. Darkness cannot comprehend the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit only moves on earth when you talk. God said, “let there be” and it was [Genesis 2:3]. The Holy Spirit grabs the word and puts it into action. Previously I told you that Covid-19 attacks the eyes, nose and mouth but why not the ears? Because that’s the gateway of our faith; so then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God [Roman 10:17]. When you hear, you get faith and then you use your mouth to confess. Your nostril is where God breathed His breath of life [Genesis 2:7]. The eyes are your vision. So when Jesus told the disciples to go to the upper room, it was because it’s the skull. The skull houses the eyes, mind, nose, mouth and ears. Remember, the skull is where Jesus was crucified. The skull houses your thinking [mind], that’s why the Holy Spirit has to come on your mind and transform it. Anointed people cannot transform you because that is the work of the Holy Spirit. Prophet Samuel couldn’t transform Saul. It was until Saul met with a group of prophets that the Spirit of God came upon him and he prophesied among them, and people said to one another, “what is this that has come upon the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?” [1 Samuel 10:10-11]. The Holy Spirit is the only one who will transform you. Mary asked the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? [Luke 1:34] The angel never said to her, come here and I touch you but he told her that, “the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee” [Luke 1:35]. The Holy Spirit is the catcher of your seed. That’s why the people in upper room each got a gift and they spoke in other tongues [Acts 2:4].
Once you receive the Holy Spirit, you become a witness. You cannot receive power unless the Holy Spirit has come upon you [Acts 1:8]. When Jesus is around, you get a revelation about Him because He was given the power on earth [Matthew 28:18]. Therefore, the one who is anointed with the Holy Spirit can tell you what you need to know. When Jesus sends you, He gives you power to operate in, that’s why when he sent the 72, they were able to cast out devils [Luke 10:17-18]. After He was slain, He said, you shall receive power. John 1:12 reads, But as many as received him, to them gave he POWER to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name. That’s why you need the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
People of God, the Spirit was given in the beginning in the book of Genesis chapter 1 and he was very catching. Then Jesus said, you need to go to the upper room that’s why you need the transformation of the mind. Psalms 19:7 says, The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple. Love is one of the laws that’s why Jesus said, love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul… [Luke 10:27]. So what is the Testimony of Jesus? He died and rose from the dead. The Testimony of Jesus is that you shall receive power, and His glory as stated in John 17. You and I are the witnesses of the Testimony.
Get this: we become wise because of the Holy Spirit. Wisdom is one of the seven spirits of God [Revelation 5:12]. Wise people invest and get dividends. When you are wise, you defeat your enemies. May the Holy Spirit come upon you that the world will see a change in your life. When the Holy Spirit came upon the apostles, they were able to turn cities. It’s time for us to become world changers. The Holy Spirit is a person though He flies like a dove, He is not a dove. He comes like water yet He is not. He is not fire though He burns like fire. You rather take everything you want from me and don’t take away my Holy Spirit. The promise of the Father is what is going to make you different and progressive. The Father promised the Holy Spirit in Joel 2:28-29, and Jesus came and activated Him when He said, “I will not leave you as orphans” [John 14:18]. He prayed to the Father to let us go where He is. He said, “I go to prepare you mansions” [John 14:2-3]. The Father promised us the seed of the woman that will crush the devil’s head.
The Holy Spirit was given to us for three reasons; to become sons of God [John 1:17]; to become witnesses [Acts 1:8] and to receive power to create wealth for God’s covenant to be established [Deuteronomy 8:18]. The Holy Spirit teaches us how to pray. He is the one who teaches us on how to create wealth. He controls the seasons. He is the breath of God. He preserves us. He is the third member of the Trinity, and He is your partner.
