Who Is the Holy Spirit? (Part 2)

Published on Jul 08, 2016

In the scriptures, Jesus invites us to receive a supernatural empowerment for service under His leadership. Unlike the indwelling presence of the Spirit, which is given automatically at conversion, this comes by seeking it.

How can we receive this empowerment?

Jesus told His disciples to pray and seek "power from on high"

It came to them at Pentecost

It is called "the baptism in the Spirit"

It is available to
every Christian

Yet, it still holds true, you must pray and seek it

Don't worry, Jesus has been dying to give it to you!
