Be filled with the Holy Spirit! – Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran
“…the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message.” (Acts 10:44)
Jesus said to His disciples, “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” Before leaving He said, “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Just as He promised, after He was taken up, Jesus sent His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, on the day of Pentecost.
Read what young Rebecca, from Sri Lanka who attended our meetings says: For a long time, I was asking God to fill me with His anointing. Yet, the sinful nature in me did not allow me to cry out persistently for this anointing. When I came to this meeting I cried bitterly, “Lord if there is anything displeasing in my life, please remove it and fill me with Your anointing. If not, let me die.” Miraculously, during the prayer time of Sis. Evangeline, God touched my heart. I could feel a change within me. The Holy Spirit filled me without measure. At that time I received a unique experience. A bright and powerful light struck me and I received great peace in my heart. The moment I received this change I started asking God for His heavenly wisdom because I bunked classes having a fear that I lacked wisdom. To my surprise I heard the voice of God telling me “I will bless you from today.” I thank God Almighty for blessing me with His supernatural anointing and wisdom. I know I will never be the same again. Glory to God!
When the Holy Spirit comes into us He will lead us into a holy life before God. The Holy Spirit will fill us with power to be witnesses for Jesus everywhere we go. Jesus said, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). My friend! Right now you can also cry out to God like Rebecca saying, “Lord, Remember me for good and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Lord, I have waited enough Lord; fill me with you Holy Spirit. fill me with your power. Father! It is not enough what I have received till now. I need you more Lord. Father! You are the God of fullness. Lord Jesus when you received the Holy Spirit. You received the Holy Spirit without measure (John 3:34; Acts 10:38), I need the same anointing; the same experience. O! Holy Spirit come into me”. Don’t become tired and don’t quit asking the Holy Spirit if you face delays. Ask God every day. In His time God will surely fill you with His Spirit.
Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father,
Baptise me with Your Holy Spirit. Pour Your Spirit on me without measure. Let me receive power to live a holy life and to be Your mighty testimony. Help me to walk by the counsel of Your spirit. Do miracles through me just as You empowered Your disciples. Use me for higher purposes.
I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
