Becoming Spirit Filled

Becoming Spirit-Filled is the third step on the path of obedience to God’s call to each of us. Acts 2:38 tells us to “Repent, be baptized and receive the Holy Spirit”

Read John 14:15-17 If you love Jesus, what will you do? *

Who will send you another comforter? *

Read Acts 2:38-39 Who is the promise of the Holy Spirit for? *

What will the Holy Spirit do for you according to the following verses?

John 14:26 *

Acts 1:8 *

Romans 8:2 *

John 16:13 *

2 Corinthians 3:6 *

1 Corinthians 12:4-10 *

Galatians 5:22-23 *

There are five places in the book of Acts where people are baptized in the Holy Spirit. Read Acts chapters 2,8,9,10, and 19 and answer the following questions as yes or no.

Were they Christians in:

Acts 2 *

Yes No

Acts 8 *

Yes No

Acts 9 *

Yes No

Acts 19 *

Yes No

Did they receive the Holy Spirit in:

Acts 2 *

Yes No

Acts 8 *

Yes No

Acts 9 *

Yes No

Acts 10 *

Yes No

Does it say they spoke in tongues in:

Acts 2 *

Yes No

Acts 8 *

Yes No

Acts 9 *

Yes No

Acts 10 *

Yes No

Notice that all the people who were baptized in the Holy Spirit were born again, all who asked received and, in three of five places, it says directly that they spoke in tongues. We know that Paul (Acts 9) also spoke in tongues because he proclaimed it in 1 Corinthians 14:18.

Biblical examples make it clear that we should encourage every believer to receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit just as those people in the Bible times did.

Read 1 Corinthians 14:15 and fill in the blanks. *

Read the following scriptures and fill in the blanks.

He encourages us to pray in the Spirit because: *

The Church’s need for the Holy Spirit is obvious. His fruit, His gifts and His power in your life are available now. You may also pray in the Spirit which will enable you to:

· Speak to God more clearly

· Be edified (built up)

· Reveal mysteries

· Intercede better

· Receive strength

· Pray warfare prayers more efficiently

Jesus said, “Ask and you shall receive.”
