Did You Receive? Pt 3

Did You Receive? Part 3

Acts 19... And finding some disciples 2 he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”, We are teaching and preaching on the Holy Spirit in a series of messages. We've talked about how the Holy Spirit is there to empower us and also reveal Jesus to us. This message we will be talking about receiving the Holy Spirit in all of his fullness. We see in scripture that the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit as Jesus breathed on them. He then told them to wait in Jerusalem until they experienced a second and separate experience of the Holy Spirit. This experience is what Jesus talked about, what Joel spoke of, what John the Baptizer preached, what Peter would later preach on the day of Pentecost. What is our part in receiving all that God has for us? Does church attendance, bible reading guarantee that we will get all that God has for us? In today's message we talk about how our pursuit of God, our desire for more intimacy with him will prepare us to receive.
