Grace for you today !
Behold Jesus the Resurrection and Life and experience His Holy Spirit’s fullness !
“And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:4, 8 NKJV
The believers of the Lord Jesus had received the Holy Spirit on the day that the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead & breathed into them.
When His time came to be taken up to Heaven, having blessed them with the “forever blessing”, He commanded them to wait for the Promise of the Father- The Holy Spirit.
This has led to confusion in times past among the believers after the early church movement. Some thought that both these are the same experiences.
My beloved, both aren’t the same. When we receive believing that Jesus died for our sins and God raised Him from the dead, the Holy Spirit comes in us. This is Christ in us. We become New Creation! This is Holy Spirit resident in us forever.
However, when the Promise of the Father, the Holy Spirit came upon the believers , that was a different experience & it was the Holy Spirit president over them.
It is one thing to drink the water and its another thing to be drenched and immersed completely into the water. The drinking experience is the Holy Spirit is us and the drenching experience is the Holy Spirit upon us.
Let’s experience both of them today- Holy Spirit in us & upon us in Jesus name. Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus !
