Baptism in the Holy Spirit


Pray for it!
                                    Peters attraction to Jesus is what caused him to follow without hesitation. 
But later him being heartbroken, Peter did receive the Holy Spirit.  

To be filled with the Holy Spirit is to be emptied of everything that is contrary to God's presence.

 You must rid yourself of:

    • deceit and trickery
    • jealousy
    • a heart filled with satanic thoughts
    • selfishness
    • criticism
    • any unholy spirit
Just as Peter came to realize later on that in order to truly live for Christ and in order to be complete in his desire to be sufficient in the Lord he had to:
  1. Acknowledge that the first encounter , the invitation to "follow me" was  a external following.
In his self sufficiency Peter had to realize that he would never rely upon himself again.

2.     Receive with astounding joy that the second invitation to "follow me" was an internal acceptance.

In Peter's state of destitution , he is ready to receive all that the Lord has for him.

As scripture reveals: "He breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit" ( John 20:22

                                                     Are you ready? I am in preparation!
Won't you join me

The love of Christ compels us to

The love of Christ compels us to: 1 Corinthian’s 5:14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. (Christ’s love to me, not my love to Him. Always looking outward and not at self.) Romans 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. Romans 15:1 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 1 Corinthian’s 8:9 If you decide to abstain; no, I can’t pass judgement upon you. If it will be on your own account, you must give a sum to; Not before me as you stand or fail but it will be before God that “WE” stand or fail. While we are bearing the weakness of others we are not to think of ourselves greater than them. Know we are doing our good for the good of Him, and it is He who keeps us strong. Just as Christ bearded our infirmities, that of others we must bear. The instructions came through the scriptures and were giving t

Transition- Lord I hear you!

Transition- Lord I hear you! In the beginning  God created  the heavens  and the earth.   Genesis 1:1 New International Version (NIV) It’s all new this transition and the experiences to come.  A period of remote and unknown antiquity, hides in the depths  of this transitional movement. Right now there are not  any preexisting materials, just a blank canvass. Everything which is coming from nothing is being formed. By the Power of God, His hand is drawing out the vision now. Our availability is critical to the existence of this plan. Let it be you who are asking that God uses in order to perform His new creation.
