Receive the Holy Spirit from God
Radio meditation and prayer by: Evangelist Sieberen Voordewind

Dear listener. Do you desire the presence of God in your life? Do you desire divine strength and consecration? Is your desire to tell people about The Lord Jesus, but don't have the courage? Oh, I've fantastic news for you!
In the Bible we can read, that apostle Paul asked12 believer (disciples of Jesus Christ) at Ephesus: Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? "You can read it in Acts 19. What do you think was their answer? "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."
Because it concerned believers, brother Paul adopted that they however were baptized in water.
And he asked: "Into what then were you baptized?" Aha! They were baptized. "Into John's baptism." Afterwards they want to be baptized again, but this time in the wonderful name of the Lord Jesus.
But still the Holy Spirit didn't come on these righteous believers. After Paul laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
In this time there are also kind people, who believe in the Lord Jesus, but aren't fulfilled with the Holy Spirit. Oh, they perhaps even participate to an evangelization action. They talk about Jesus. They talk about the Holy Spirit. But the Holy Ghost is lacking. 2 Acts 1:8: Jesus says:" You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you (That's number 1) and you shall be My witnesses (number 2).
If you desire to be baptized with the Holy Spirit, open then at this moment your heart and spirit for Him. Because the Bible says in Acts 10: "While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to the message." And at this moment the Holy Spirit wants to fall on you too while you are listening to this message full of spirit and faith.
Put up your hands while I'm praying for you.
"Oh, mighty God and Father. In the marvelous name of Jesus Christ I come to you with the one who desires baptism in the Holy Spirit. We do not doubt but believe that at this moment the Holy Spirit will fall upon everyone who is listening to your servant. Please give Your divine power and fulfill everyone with the Holy Spirit that in belief stretches out itself there. For this we praise and thank You Lord."
And my dear friends: receive the Holy Spirit at this moment. Receive His power and glory. Receive it at this moment in the Name of Jesus and thank Him.
Many blessings to you. Amen!
