You Must WANT The Baptism of the Holy Spirit

/

This week Ps Rob teaches that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is not an optional extra.

He takes us through a series of scriptures that show we must have the baptism of the Holy Spirit AND also WANT it.

God's intent is for every believer to be filled with the power of the Spirit. He intends for us to do everything in that power. BUT to receive it, you must want it!

If you are a believer and are not yet baptised in the power of the Holy Spirit, cry out to God. Ask Him to make you desperate to be immersed in His power. Ask Him to baptise you in His power. Also, ask a church leader who is baptised in the Holy Spirit to pray with you to receive this power. Don't quit pursuing God until He baptises you.

Listen through to the end of the message to hear the powerful prophetic call from the Lord to be baptised and to immerse yourself in ministry time to receive the baptism (or a fresh infilling) of the Spirit!

Unity of the Spirit - Ephesians 2021-22 Series

/

This week Ps Rob continues expounding on Ephesians 4v1-6.

Rob reminds us that the Holy Spirit unifies us. The Holy Spirit enables us to fellowship with other genuine Christ-loving believers anywhere in the world. So, Paul urges us to make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace (v3). When we do this we will enter into the fulness of oneness in Christ (v4-6).

Apology: There are a few moments in final 4 minutes when the sound cuts out. The microphone battery was going flat.

Ephesians 4:1-6 (NKJV)

1 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

AM - The Promise of the Father - Pentecost 2020

Today is the birthday of the church. It’s Pentecost Sunday 2020! This week Ps Kaye reminded us that God never intended for us to do the Christian life alone (in our own strength). We are to walk through life doing what Jesus did, and receiving God’s promises, with the help of the Holy Spirit’s presence, guidance and power. This is why God gave us Pentecost.

“The Baptism of the Holy Spirit sets us apart from the world. This is a defining characteristic.”

We do this by regularly worshipping and praying in the Spirit.
