"THE PROMISE OF HOLY SPIRIT" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE MEANS WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT THE "PROMISE OF THE FATHER"?  THERE ARE SO MANY PROMISES IN THE BIBLE AND SOME PEOPLE JUST SKIP OVER THIS ONE.  THIS PROMISE I AM WRITING ABOUT IS HOLY SPIRIT. BELOW ARE THREE VERSES ON THIS.





LUKE 24:49 And, behold, 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.
THIS POWER IS HOLY SPIRIT.


ACTS 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.  AGAIN, THIS IS SPEAKING OF HOLY SPIRIT.

 

ACTS 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.  FROM THIS VERSE YOU CAN SEE HE IS SPEAKING OF HOLY SPIRIT (OR HOLY GHOST WHICH TWO ARE THE SAME) IN THE FIRST TWO VERSES.

 

A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS BECAUSE THESE VERSES ARE TALKING ABOUT JESUS' DISCIPLES NOT LEAVING JERUSALEM UNTIL THEY RECEIVE HOLY SPIRIT.  SINCE THESE DISCIPLES EVIDENTLY WERE BELIEVERS AND WERE BAPTIZED, WHY WERE THEY NOT BAPTIZED WITH  HOLY SPIRIT ALREADY?  ACTS 1:5 SAYS " For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence."

 

SOME TEACH THAT WE WERE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF  HOLY SPIRIT WHEN WE WERE BAPTIZED BUT IT SEEMS THERE IS A SEPARATE BAPTISM WITH HOLY SPIRIT WHERE YOU RECEIVER A PRAYER LANGUAGE OR GROANING'S IN THE SPIRIT.  I WILL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU AS TO WHAT YOU BELIEVE ABOUT THIS.  I AM JUST PUTTING FORTH WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.  I HAVE A PRAYER LANGUAGE AND USE IT WHEN I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRAY.  ROMANS 8:26 HAS A GOOD EXPLANATION ABOUT THIS WHICH IS "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered."

 

SPEAK IN TONGUES OR DON'T SPEAK IN TONGUES, THAT IS BETWEEN YOU AND HOLY SPIRIT.  HE TELLS US TO ASK, SO ASK HIM WHAT YOU SHOULD DO.  HE WILL TELL YOU BUT WHAT EVER HE DOES TELL YOU, DO IT WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH IT OR NOT.  HE IS NEVER WRONG.


 

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
