INSIGHTS & NOTES FROM
Insights From "Church, Read The Book Of Acts, & Get Ready!" by Donnie Swaggart - Chapter 1012/7/2020 "HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT SINCE YOU BELIEVED?" Acts 19:1-2 "...everything the Lord does for us & through us is carried out by the person & agency of the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit in our services, we have nothing but dead religion, but with the Holy Spirit, the church becomes a living & a dynamic organism of anointed power that will set the captive free, heal the sick, & break bondages in lives." "READY FOR WHAT?" "...the greatest move of God the world has ever seen is coming." "Acts 2:17 is about ready to happen." "...signs & wonders, miracles, healings, conversions, & the like is going to come to pass once again in a greater measure than ever before." "MY DESIRE" "My prayer & my cry is for the Lamb of God to change me, humble me, & make me sensitive to His holiness; however, none of this can happen without the office work of the Holy Spirit." "PRAYER MEETINGS" "Our prayer is not for money, power or material blessing but for the glory of the Lord to fill the house." II Chronicles 7:1-3 "...begin to seek the Lord in earnest prayer." "PAUL'S QUESTION" "...'having believed, did you receive?'" "...it is the plan & will of the Lord for all believers to go on & be baptized with the Holy Spirit after conversion." "...one is not baptized with the Holy Spirit at conversion." "No, one does not receive the Spirit baptism at conversion, but this baptism is a baptism of power, distinct & separate from conversion & for which one must ask (Luke 11:13)." "WHY SHOULD THE BELIEVER BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT?" "1. Rest & refreshing. ...Isaiah 28:11-12 ...When one prays in tongues, it brings rest & refreshing to our burdened down heart. 2. Equips one for service. Luke 4:18 3. Worship. ...Our whole being should be given over to the Holy Spirit so that we can live a life of worship. 4. The gifts of the Spirit. ...The sign of a true New Testament church is the frequency in which the gifts operate. 5. The fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22. ...The fruit of the Spirit is Christ-likeness, which only the Holy Spirit can produce." "HOW TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT" "Simply pray this prayer: 'Father, in the name of Jesus, by faith I receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit.'" "You will begin to sense words, a language that is not known to you. Now, exercise faith, & begin to speak what you sense flowing through your Spirit." "Now, have you received since you believed?" Church, Read The Book Of Acts, & Get Ready!, by Donnie Swaggart, pgs. 73 - 80.
