View MoreWhen the whole body of Christ receives the baptism, the indwelling of the Spirit of God, then the church will receive the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit in its fullness. What Jesus meant when He told His disciples to sell everything let the dead bury the dead, do not be conformed to this world; He meant that we must seperate ourselves from this evil world. We must abide in Gods word. Realize we are citizens of heaven. Desire spiritual life and gifts from God, not what we can get from sinful man in this world. Forsake the sinful lusts of the world and put your desire and focus on The King of Kings and Lord of Lords! The answer and fulfillment of all man could ever want or need is supplied with the indwelling and constant refilling of the Holy Spirit. When we receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, we receive the spirit of the trinity God into our Spirits personally. Only then are we empowered with power to break the bondages of sin in our lives. Only then can we walk in true freedom. To receive this indwelling baptism, we must deny our flesh, our worldly sinful nature. We must give up pride, arrogance, self-confidence, self-pleasing, and self-seeking. We must give up selfishness and anger and the whole sinful worldly way of thinking that is in opposition to Gods ways. We are to put on the mind of Christ because in Him, we now live and move and have our being. You must be willing to lose your old life to be worthy to receive Jesus's life. We must recognize our two great enemies by whom the devil temps us and we must contend with them. One is the world, and the second is the self-life within. It is love for being ruler over our self-life, the natural life of sinful man. The ego. that hinders the Lord from doing His work in mans heart. It costs more to be redeemed from the selfish ego within than to withdraw from the world around you. To be free from it, you have to realize first that it's sinful and it needs to be put to death. Sin is what separates us from God. We need to die to our worldly carnal desires and take, receive the life of God within us. Whatever you desire the most and fill your mind and heart with is the direction you will go in. What is more important to you, God and everlasting life or the world and all its evil sinful desires? Nothing hinders our life more than a secret reliance on ourselves, not God. You are not to put yourself as God over your life. The Holy Spirit led life leads to heaven and true abundant life. The self led sinful inner life leads to death and hell, torment for all eternity. God says in His word, "I put before you life and death, blessing and curses. Choose life so you and your household may live." Choose life choose Jesus. He is the Way, The Truth, and The Life! We need to set our inner life, desire on Jesus, and to be one with Him. The principal thing is to set ourselves in close contact with God. The Holy Spirit is the power of the life of the Christian church. What is really necessary to receive this gift from God is personal attachment to Jesus, the abandonment of everything in the world for Him. Despair of self and of all help from man. Holding on to the word of promise, and then waiting on "The Living God." This is the same way to live in the joy and power of the Holy Spirit. Remember to abide in God's word throughout the day and night. Hide His word in your heart. Pray always with love and power in the Holy Spirit. Worship and praise God in your heavenly language from the Holy Spirit and walk in love with all men. Walk in the spirit, and you will not gradify the desires of the flesh. Put your heart and focus on God and His word. Live by it. It is His book of Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth
