"I am going to send you what my Father has promised, but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” Luke 24:49
"On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Acts 1:4-5 (NIV)
"Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off —for all whom the Lord our God will call." Acts 2:38 (NIV)
1. Look at your stomach: Speak to your stomach and say, “Holy Spirit, You are living in there!”
2. I open myself up right now to the presence and action of the Holy Spirit in my life, my mind, but especially in my spirit—my innermost being. I am opening myself up to the presence and actions of Holy Spirit right now…in Jesus’ name.
3. I am going to open my mouth right now, and you will fill me. You are going to give me THE PROMISE. Just like in Acts 2, expect to speak in a language you don’t know!
