Doing The Works Of Jesus
John 14:12-17 NLT
“I tell you the truth, ANYONE who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it! “If you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the HOLY SPIRIT, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives WITH you now and later will be IN you.”
Acts 1:4-8 NLT
“Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the GIFT He promised, as I told you before. John baptized with water, but in just a few days you will be BAPTIZED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.” So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?” He replied, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know. BREAK But you will receive POWER when the Holy Spirit comes UPON you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
How has the Devil talked us out of Spirit Baptism?
He’s convinced us we don’t need it
He’s got us self-focused
He’s tricked us into becoming mockers
He’s helped us become religious
“The Spirit-filled life is not a special, deluxe edition of Christianity. It is part and parcel of the total plan of God for His people.” – A.W. Tozer
1 Corinthians 14:14 NIV
If I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
The best news for the WORLD is salvation through Jesus Christ.
The best news for the CHURCH is the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Mark 16:15-18 NLT
“Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. These miraculous signs will accompany THOSE WHO BELIEVE: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”
