We owe this world an encounter with GOD!
When The Holy Spirit came to live inside you, He came as a Living River, not a lake.
Jesus spoke in John 7:
37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow Rivers of Living Water.”
39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
The purpose of The Holy Spirit in us is to expand The Kingdom of GOD here on earth. To do anything less is self-centered. We are to be like Jesus in our individual callings.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 10:
34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In Truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.
35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.
36 The Word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ-He is Lord of all-
37 that Word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, Who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
What happened when the Word of Truth was received by the Gentiles?
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, The Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the Word.
When you and I received The Holy Spirit, we were anointed the whole time. When we truly believe we are anointed, we will walk in signs and wonders, power and authority.
When you got saved you believed in Jesus, but you become dangerous when you realize He actually believes in you!
How come we are not walking in the power of The Holy Spirit? It is because of some level or aspect of doubt and unbelief.
Thankfully, Mary did not allow doubt and unbelief to prevail when the angel spoke to her as Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 1:
26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.
28 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”
29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.
30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.
32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the Throne of His father David.
33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His Kingdom there will be no end.”
34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” 35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.
36 Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”
38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your Word.” And the angel departed from her.
Can Our Heavenly Father cause HIS Holy Spirit to work through you and me? After all, nothing is impossible with HIM. HE is not holding back the anointing of The Holy Spirit, we are. Let us jettison the past, the doubt, and the unbelief, and allow that anointing to not only flow to us, but through us as well. Be it unto us according to FATHER’S Word!
