Yearn for the Fire.
The Lord promised us the gift of the Holy Spirit before Jesus came to earth in the flesh. In Joel 2:28, God said, 28 “And afterward,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.
Jesus promised to send The Holy Spirit to be with us when he
leaves; John 14:16-17 16 And I will ask the Father, and
he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the
Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him
nor knows him. But you know him; he lives with you and will be[c] in you.
Now the bible talks about the baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire. This is another
dimension in the promise which comes with a whole package of the gifts of the
Holy Spirit found in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10: Prophecy, Discernment of Spirits, interpretation
of dreams, wisdom, word of knowledge, healing, diverse tongues, working of
miracles, interpretation of tongues.
8 To one there is given through
the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by
means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by
the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to
another miraculous powers, to a
nother prophecy, to another
distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of
tongues,[a] and to still another the
interpretation of tongues.[b]
The baptism of the Holy Spirit comes with power; Acts 1:8, “But
you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be
witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
The Lord is willing to empower us with the Holy Spirit more
than we even desire therefore, let us wait upon Him and keep on longing until
our desires and His promises are fulfilled in our lives. Amen.
