You Must WANT The Baptism of the Holy Spirit

This week Ps Rob teaches that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is not an optional extra.

He takes us through a series of scriptures that show we must have the baptism of the Holy Spirit AND also WANT it.

God's intent is for every believer to be filled with the power of the Spirit. He intends for us to do everything in that power. BUT to receive it, you must want it!

If you are a believer and are not yet baptised in the power of the Holy Spirit, cry out to God. Ask Him to make you desperate to be immersed in His power. Ask Him to baptise you in His power. Also, ask a church leader who is baptised in the Holy Spirit to pray with you to receive this power. Don't quit pursuing God until He baptises you.

Listen through to the end of the message to hear the powerful prophetic call from the Lord to be baptised and to immerse yourself in ministry time to receive the baptism (or a fresh infilling) of the Spirit!

Ephesians 4:17-18 (NIV) 
17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.
