Welcome to The Living Word of God in Acts chapter 19 we find Paul visiting Ephesus where Apollos was and Paul asked the people did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed so they say to him we have no such as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit and he said to them into what then were you baptized and they said into John’s baptism
then Paul said John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance saying to the people that they should believe on him who was to come after him that is Jesus Christ and when they heard this they were baptized in the name of Jesus and then Paul laid his hands on them and the Holy Spirit came upon them and they spoke in tongues and prophesied oh I tell you brothers and sisters what do we believe today as Christians what are we baptized into have we just gone underwater and Alive have not changed before baptism after baptism alive have not changed
and the question that Paul asked the people of officials is still the profound question that is being asked to every Christian today did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed what have you been baptized to o brothers and sisters I pray that we believe in the name of Jesus that when we baptize when we choose to follow Jesus we will be baptized in the name of Jesus believing in the name of Jesus and as Jesus Promised his disciples when I go my father will send the spirit Who Will Comfort you teach you and guide you Empower you comfort you oh I tell you brothers and sisters let us believe in Jesus let us be baptized in the name of Jesus and let us pray that when we are baptized we will be filled with the Holy Spirit that the spirit will Empower us that the spirit will guide us teach us and lead us and comfort us may that be our blessed experience amen
