We are continuing our series of the teaching of the Holy spirit but this time we are in part 7!!! In this segment, we shall be discussing about how to receive Holy Ghost baptism; it is one of the most confusing topics about the Holy Ghost… I am going to try and break it to the simplest form and the Lord will help us in Jesus name!!!!
HOW TO RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST
Acts10:42-48
We started this aspect in part 6 and so therefore we shall be continuing from there.
RECEIVING THE HOLY GHOST BAPTISM
An individual can receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost through any of these methods:
1) While praying by yourself asking God in faith. Acts 2:1-10
2) While listening to the Word of God with an open heart. Acts10:34-38
3) While being part of a group praying. Acts2:1-10
4) While reading the word alone and meditating on same.
5) While being led in a series of prayer session by an anointed person. Acts2:1-10
6) Through laying-on of hands by an anointed person. Acts9:17-18
7) While singing praises unto the Lord.
Acts2:47
The above list, it must be emphasized, is in no wise exhaustive. There have been people who got the Holy Ghost baptism while in their sleep and they woke up and started speaking in tongues to the real world.
However, the state of the heart of the individual is of paramount importance.
CAUTION
1) Never ask for the baptism of the Holy Ghost for wrong reasons like; commercial purposes, power show, to oppress people, to use it as a medium to get whatever you want etc.
2) Beware of who prays for you and where you go for prayer. There could be a transfer of spirit through laying-on of hands.
3) Never ask with a revengeful heart; an automatic door will be opened to evil spirits.
4) Anyone who has been highly involved in demonic or occultic activities in the past, must be careful a strange spirit, speaking in tongues through him. This is a common thing with those operating with witchcraft and familiar spirit. IT IS ADVISABLE FOR SUCH AN INDIVIDUAL TO UNDERGO A THROUGH DELIVERANCE BEFORE ASKING FOR THE HOLY GHOST BAPTISM!
MANIFESTATION AT BAPTISM
The Holy Spirit is a gentle Spirit. Although people receive the Holy Spirit peacefully, it is not uncommon to witness a mild commotion at baptism of some other believers. You may be wondering and asking why? Well, most of the time, those who experience appear violent are people who still need to undergo further deliverance, as what takes place is usually a case of forceful ejection of strange spirits by the power of the Holy Ghost.
