CONFESSION

"I thank God for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It was His idea to empower me and to allow me to be filled with His Spirit. I believe that it is for me today and I receive a fresh re-filling. I am full to overflowing with the Holy Spirit to the very extent that I am controlled by Him!"

Weekly Scripture

Ephesians 3:19 AMP

"[That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!"

SUNDAY's MESSAGE ONLINE NOW!

"DESIRE SPIRITUAL GIFTS - "Baptism in the Holy Spirit - Part 2"

The Word of God instructs us to earnestly desire spiritual gifts. Spiritual gifts come from the God by His Spirit to us. We need to know more about the Holy Spirit and understand about the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. This experience is something that He leads us into and not forces upon us. There is power that God wants us to have!

Baptized with the Holy Spirit: provision of power

Jesus, the Head of the Church said, "For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. ...But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." - Acts 1:5,8 KJV

Our supply of power comes from the Baptism with the Holy Spirit! This provision came from the Father to a small body of believers that were hungry and thirst for righteousness and waiting on God. This group that met in the upper room turned the world upside down when they became filled with this power from on high. Do we need this power any less today than over 2000 years ago? No.

The manifestation of the power of God in our lives is in direct proportion to our degree of being filled with His Spirit. No matter how much you have experienced of God, His Word, His Spirit and power...there is more waiting! Get hungry...and get ready...

We love you and pray for you daily!

-Pastors Bruce & Sheila
