At salvation, you were reborn as the Holy Spirit recreated your spirit and came to live inside of you.

How to Receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit

● Jesus promised the Holy Spirit as the Comforter who abides with you forever.
● The Holy Spirit recreated your spirit at salvation and now lives inside you.
● The Holy Spirit wants to release His energizing power in you to transform you into an effective witness and connect you with the deep things of God.
● Jesus performed works through the Father, and you will do greater works through the Holy Spirit.
● The Holy Spirit dwelling within you will do these greater works.
● Jesus commanded His disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel with signs following.
● God intends the Holy Spirit to bring salvation, healing, and deliverance as you witness and pray for people.
● The Baptism in the Holy Spirit empowers you for ministry.
● This empowering is for everyone in the Body of Christ because God gave His Spirit to the Church on the Day of Pentecost.
● You must personally receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit just as you received Jesus—by faith, by believing God’s Word.
● You do not have to beg God for this empowering; you must ask Him.
● God promises that if you ask, you shall receive the Holy Spirit.
● You are a son of God, and He is your Father; if you ask for the Holy Spirit, you will not get a devil.
● God is poised and ready to baptize you in His Holy Spirit when you ask Him.
● The Holy Spirit is ever present and ready to move because He wants you to be a vital and powerful witness for Jesus.
● God will not force the Holy Spirit into your life in any way you are unwilling to receive Him.
● Your will is involved, and without your voluntary action, you will never receive anything from God.
● You must humble yourself before God, give Him your body, mind, and spirit, and ask Him to baptize you in His Holy Spirit.
● You receive the Holy Spirit by faith, not by feelings.
● When you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, you can speak in another language.
● The Holy Spirit gives the utterance, but you do the speaking.
● God will not force you to speak in tongues; the Holy Spirit supplies the words, but you supply the sound.
● When you pray in tongues, your spirit speaks mysteries unto God.
● You can pray a prayer to receive the Holy Spirit, expecting to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
● You begin to thank and praise God for baptizing you in the Holy Spirit, and words and syllables unknown to you will rise in your spirit.
● You speak by faith, using your own voice, and you cannot speak two languages at the same time.
● You are a Spirit-baptized believer from that moment on.
● The Holy Spirit is your Comforter, Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby.
● The Holy Spirit teaches you all things and leads you into all truth.
● You are no longer alone; the Holy Spirit abides with you forever.

Healing belongs to you. Jesus purchased it at the cross.

How to Pray for Healing

● Healing belongs to you because Jesus purchased it by going to the cross.
● You have just as much right to be healed as you do to be saved and filled with the Holy Spirit.
● Jesus took your infirmities and bore your sicknesses in His own body so you wouldn’t have to.
● Christ redeemed you from the curse of the law by being made a curse for you.
● Jesus bore a curse so you could receive the blessing of Abraham.
● The blessing of Abraham covers every area of your existence: spirit, soul, body, finances, and social life.
● Physical healing is one of those blessings.
● You have the right to live free from sickness and disease.
● By Jesus’ stripes you were healed—past tense.
● You were healed 2,000 years ago, but you must receive it by faith today.
● Healing is part of your inheritance, and you must believe it for yourself and accept it as a reality in your own life.
● You can pray a simple prayer, declaring that Jesus bore your sickness and carried your diseases, and accept by faith that you are healed now in the Name of Jesus.
● As a child of God, you have the right to command Satan to get out of your life.
● Satan has no right to lay sickness or disease on your body because Jesus bore all sickness and disease on His own body.
● You are God’s property, and Satan is a trespasser.
● Satan has no right to touch your spirit, soul, or body.

By confessing God’s Word about health, you will build the image of divine health in your heart until you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it is God’s will for you!
