Baptism with the Holy Spirit
15 October 2014
All four of the Gospels tell us about the 'Baptism with the Holy Spirit' and it was one of the last things that Jesus spoke about before he ascended into heaven. This shows how important it was to the Apostles and to Jesus. So why, in my experience, is it so rarely spoken of in the church?
I've been a Christian for a very long time and I have never heard anyone preach about it apart from Dr Martyn Lloyd Jones. Even then I didn't hear it directly from the doctor; it was a tape recording.
I would argue that it is one of the most important subjects for Christians to understand today, especially in the West. If more people in the church understood what it is, how it happens and what it's for, then the church would become far more effective and powerful.
I preached about it some time ago and I'm sure I've still got the notes somewhere. So keep an eye on the Teachings page of my website and hopefully I can put something on the page soon. In the meantime, I pray that this matter will come as a revelation to you.
