May 20, 2015
Why Do You Need The
Holy Ghost?
1. Because Believing on the
Lord is not Enough
Acts 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye
believed?
And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be
any Holy Ghost
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them,
the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake
with tongues, and prophesied.
2. Because You Need It To Be
Saved
Rom 8:9 Now if any man have not the
Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
John 3:5 Jesus answered… Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God.
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must
be born again.
3. Because You’re powerless against
sin without it
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come
upon you:
4. Because it’s God’s
Promise for You
Isa 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this
people
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass
afterward, that I will pour out my spirit
upon all flesh;
Joel 2:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour
out my spirit
5. Because it’s what the
resurrection of Jesus was all
about
Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that
raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in
you,
he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your
mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in
you.
6. Because You Need A Comforter
John 14:18 I will not leave you
comfortless: I will come to you.
7. Because You Need A
Guide
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will
guide you into all truth:
Acts 8:30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias,
and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
v. 31 And he said, How can I,
except some man should guide me?
Jesus Confirms The Promise
Luke 24:49 I send the promise of my Father
upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem,
until ye be endued with power from on high.
The Promise Fulfilled
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy
Ghost, and began to speak with other
tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
How Do You Receive the Holy Ghost?
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the
remission of sins,
and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy
Ghost.
For the promise is unto you, and to your
children, and to all that are afar off, even as
many as the Lord our God shall call.
You Must Realize You Do Not Have All Jesus Wants You To Have
Unless You Are Baptized
With The Holy Ghost
Holy Ghost Baptism Is For
You!
Receive the Holy Ghost!
