Welcome to Hank’s Place
Is the baptism in the Holy Spirit for you? Of course! “So, how do I get this baptism?” you may ask. Well, listen to this–
Lu 11:9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” What promises! From the one in whom ALL of God’s promise are YES and AMEN—so be it! Jesus goes on to give the example of earthly fathers giving good things to their children when asked and says in vs 13, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?” Have faith in God; God, your Heavenly Father, who does NOT disappoint. ASK HIM!
A pastor friend told me his testimony. He was a student at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, center for Reformed Presbyterian theology. He loved Jesus and wanted more of Him. He kept asking for more, and as he worshiped at his bedside, songs of praise rose effortlessly from his lips – in other languages. He spoke and sang in tongues without realizing what had happened. In fact, he went with great expectation with his classmates when a professor led them on a field trip to a Charismatic meeting, to experience first hand these theologically ignorant, emotion led, dumb bunnies of Christians as they supposedly experienced the presence of the Holy Spirit in their midst.
Yes, they were more than ready to mock, laugh, and destroy their silly arguments for the Holy Spirit. In the meeting, can you imagine the devastating shock when my friend realized that he was one of them! He added the rest of his time in the seminary was a battleground of attacks against him and the Holy Spirit.
Dear friend, the Holy Spirit has been poured out since Pentecost. Take advantage of the PROMISE of the Father. Desire, as my pastor friend did. Desire more of God. Take some time to worship and receive all He has to give you.
Why bother? My friend! My friend! When the Holy Spirit is moving through you, you will speak and act with the boldness of the early disciples, the world will be turned upside-down, and multitudes will— COME ALIVE!
