Glory Carriers
"My understanding as a teenager was to 'seek' the Holy Spirit and then the Holy Spirit would take over my mouth. At a youth camp, a pastor excitedly told me that the Holy Spirit was there and encouraged me to speak out. I did exactly that and I received." –Edwin Smith
Glory Carriers demonstrate the manifest presence of God with signs and wonders because they have cultivated over time an intimate friendship with the Spirit of God. Every friendship has a starting point, however, and I believe friendship with the Holy Spirit begins with the baptism in the Holy Spirit. We read in the Bible how this experience is necessary for us to walk in the power of the Spirit.
Holy Spirit Baptism in the Bible
Let's look at two biblical promises: first, John the Baptist said, "I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire" (Matthew 3:11). Later, Jesus said, "For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit... You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you" (Acts 1:5, 8).
The Bible Illustrates clearly when you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, He gifts you with a supernatural language. This is the sure sign that you have received the promise of the Spirit. Let's look at this in Scripture:
"When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from Heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them." (Acts 2:1-4)
"While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. The circumcised Believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God..." (Acts 10:44-46)
A third verse in Acts illustrates a direct connection between tongues and Spirit baptism: "When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied" (19:6). (Photo via Unsplash)
Other passages in the New Testament reveal the same truth, only indirectly. For example, in Acts 8, the apostles in Jerusalem had heard that there were disciples being made in Samaria. Keep in mind that these were new Believers in Jesus who had only been water baptized. The apostles traveled to Samaria and prayed for the new Believers to receive the Holy Spirit "because the Holy Spirit had not yet come on any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit" (v 16-17).
There had to have been some kind of evidence or sign to prove that they had received. The biblical account does not say directly that the new Believers spoke in tongues, but something took place that was so obvious that Simon Magus offered the apostles money to give him the ability to lay hands on people to receive the Holy Spirit, too. Simon's offer was met with a swift and stern rebuke by the apostle Peter, who said, "May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!" (v. 8:20).
The apostle Paul powerfully converted to Christianity, having been confronted by Jesus Himself on the road to Damascus. What is interesting is... (continue reading)
