#6 It’s Time for the Holy Spirit
“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13 NKJV
If there is one thing, one moment in history, one attribute God wanted you to have, it is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Jesus brought salvation to mankind and great peace in believing in Him, but He wanted all His followers to wait for the Holy Spirit which He said the Father would send in my name: (In John 14:26, Jesus said), “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and will bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
The Day of Pentecost was the turning point of the early church. Jesus came, people believed in Him, and He fulfilled all Scriptures thereby bringing and giving great mercy and salvation to all mankind. But the fullness of all that Jesus offered is found by continuing in the Holy Spirit, as Jesus commanded.
The Holy Spirit is critical to the Church and after 2000 years the Church still has not gotten it completely right. Too often we get our eyes on pieces of the Holy Spirit—yes, the gifts and fruits of the Spirit are important but are only scratching the surface of what the Holy Spirit does or can do. He, the Holy Spirit, brings all who the Father and the Son are to mankind, and He is preparing the Church to be the Bride of Christ.
We are indeed in the Latter Rain, as the Bible states, but what the Holy Spirit is about to do (and I see glimpses of the Holy Spirit’s total power) which I call the ‘Second Pentecost’, is upon us, but we must stop limiting, holding back, and restraining the Power of the Holy Spirit. His purposes are stated in the Book of Proverbs—His power is unlimited, and His sensitivity is more than amazing.
Denominations and church doctrines stand in the way of the Holy Spirit. I believe the Church is “standing in the balance” of God’s judgment. The Church will be judged, and her candle sticks be removed if we do not allow the Holy Spirit to do what He is supposed to do. We must start believing in all that He can do!
It is time to get it right! It is time to let the Holy Spirit fulfill His purposes in all the earth. Let’s fulfill Jesus’s command ‘to wait for Him and allow Him to comfort us, teach us, and empower us to be the Sons of God’.
