Be Filled With The Holy Spirit

How do I become filled with the Holy Spirit if I have never been filled with the Holy Spirit? Just ask Him. God is a good God and He gives good gifts.

ACTS 2:38 - 2:39

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

You see God wants you to have this gift. God is a good God.

Luke 11:10-13

For every one that asketh receiveth: and he that seeketh findeth: and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?

You see, all you have to do is ask. Now sometimes the Holy Spirit will just fill someone, like he did Paul in the book of ACTS. People are filled that way as well. You can read about Paul in Acts 9:1-31

John 7:37-39

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thrist, let him come unto me, and drink.

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given: because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

You see, just believe

Acts 2:4

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them uttereance.

Now, just receive what you asked for.

Now here are some things that may happen. You may begin to speak in other tongues. If you fill like the Holy Spirit wants to speak through you, do not be scared. Just go with the flow. You may feel heat or something bubbling up inside of you. Your tongue may begin to want to move on it's own. Allow it to do so. Do not be scared. It is okay.

You may also feel kind of drunk and happy. This is the JOY of the Lord. You see, with Jesus you don't have to buy alcohol. You can get high on your own supply and the supply never runs out! You also may begin to flow in some of the other gifts of the Spirit. You can read about those in 1 Corinthians 12:7-11. I will be talking more about those later. You also now have the power to win souls or to be a witness. I will be teaching on that as well. So just Go with the flow.

PRAYER: Please pray this prayer if you have not already prayed. Jesus I want to know you. I ask you to fill me with the Holy Spirit. I ask you Lord to speak through me and live your life through me. I ask you Lord for the gifts of the Holy Spirit to flow through me and I ask you for my prayer language in the name of Jesus. Fill me from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. I recieve the Holy Spirit now in the name of Jesus.

Okay, you now asked Him. Some of you may be experiencing some of the things I have mentioned eailer. Some may not be experiencing anything. Don't worry. You prayed. If nothing is happening now something may happen today or next week or whenever. You will start to want to know the Holy Spirit. He is a person and you may start having a desire to know Him that wasn't there before. Anyway, I hope this has blessed you. God Bless, Kevin Forest Frasure Braveheart07@fastmail.fm
