God's Promise of the Holy Spirit

In today’s teaching, we dive deep into what Jesus called “the promise of the Father”—the baptism with the Holy Spirit and the power that comes upon believers (Acts 1:4–8).

If you’ve ever wondered why the early church walked in miracles, boldness, signs, wonders, and supernatural power—and why so many Christians today don’t—this message walks straight through Scripture to show you exactly what Jesus intended for His followers.

Being born again means the Holy Spirit lives in you.
But being baptized with the Holy Spirit means He comes upon you with power.

And that power is for:

• Preaching the gospel with effectiveness
• Healing the sick
• Breaking oppression
• Setting captives free
• Seeing miracles
• Living the life Jesus promised in John 14:12

We walk through:

• Ephesians 1 & 3 – What Paul prayed believers would understand
• Acts 10:38 – Jesus anointed with the Spirit and with power
• Matthew 9 & 10 – Jesus imparting power to the 12 and then the 70
• Luke 4:18 – Why Jesus was anointed and what He was anointed to do
• Acts 2, 8, 10, and 19 – Clear biblical examples of believers receiving the Spirit after salvation
• John 14 & 16 – Why Jesus had to go so the Spirit could come
• The difference between the Spirit in you (salvation) and the Spirit upon you (power)
• How believers today can receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit
• A closing prayer for fresh anointing, boldness, and empowerment

If you’ve never been baptized with the Holy Spirit—or if you need a fresh filling—this message is for you.
 And if this topic is new or feels foreign, buckle up… we go straight into the Word of God and let Scripture speak for itself.
