Read Acts 10
He who has My commandments and keeps them,
it is he who loves Me.
And He who loves Me
will be loved by My Father,
and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
“Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him,
“LORD, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
Jesus answered and said to him,
“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word;
and My Father will love him, and
we will come to him and make Our home with him...
“These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name,
He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance
all things that I said to you.
John 14:21-23, 25-26To many today, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is controversial, but it is a promise from Christ Himself. He said,
“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word;
“These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.”
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name,
He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
On the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit came and filled the believers in the Upper Room, but it didn’t stop there. The believers took what was given to them, to others who believed. We only have to look at Acts chapter 10, to see that this baptism was with the believers at Cornelius’s house, that it was for all who believed.
Samaritan believers received it in Acts 8, Ephesians believers in Acts 19. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is for all who believe, even for us today.
"He who has My commandments and keeps them,
it is he who loves Me.
And He who loves Me
will be loved by My Father,
and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
Something to think about:If we truly love Jesus the world will see Christ manifested in us. If we ask God he will send the Holy Spirit to dwell within us and we cannot help but be changed by it.
