In Jo 20:21 Jesus breathed on his disciples and said to receive the Holy Spirit, after that occasion he instructed to go into the City and wait.
Acts Ch 1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
If you will notice in all of the Gospels It was said of Jesus that he would Baptize believers with the Holy Spirit and Fire.
He had said to them in verse four of ch 1 wait for the promise of the father, which you have heard of me, we know he was talking of the Holy Spirit, or the baptism with the Holy Spirit.
Verse 8 ,notice he mentions it is the Holy Spirit, and he tell's them why, to receive power, that they may be a witness unto him.
The number in the upper room was 120, and they where all in one accord in prayer.
In Acts: 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
This is not the new birth they where already born again, but it is as it was in Jesus ministry an additional impartation of the Holy Spirit for power to be a witness unto Jesus.
The Spirit came upon not within
He came on all
As all received the Gift of the Holy spirit.
All spoke in tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 2:7 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Peter tells us what the promise of the father is, The Holy Spirit, it is the will of the father the Holy Spirit is to be poured out on all .
Now many want to argue this is the Gift of tongues, this is not the Gift of tongues it is refereed to as the Gift of The holy Spirit and when they received him all spoke in other tongues, as they where filled.
When a believe receives the Holy Spirit as in acts ch 2:4, you can pray in tongues any time you want to.
We will go to acts 10:44 and in this context we see this happening to the gentile believers and notice what the apostles say about it.
Acts 10:44 � While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
The Holy Spirit again Fell on all of them.
They said this was the Gift of the Holy Spirit
Because they heard them speak with tongues.
In explaining the occasion to the Jewish brethren Peter Said:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
lEON HOW IS RESPONDING TO YOUR RESPONSES, INSULTING YOU, I DID NOT POST ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE WRITTEN THAT ARE NOT TRUE, YOU SAID THE WORD WAS NOT TRUE NOT ME.
YOU SAID I ADDED,tWISTED reading into things that where not t here.
Now I am a false prophet for believing the word of God.
Spirit of Fire, Baptism of Fire, Return to Our Land Again!
The following word was prophesied by Kim Clement on June 11, 2010 from Orlando, Florida:
Kim Clement
The Spirit of the Lord says, "They have forgotten what the baptism of the Holy Spirit is. They have forgotten what the holy fire is. They have forgotten that I am the God of their forefathers. They have forgotten that it was through prayer, and through prayer and fasting, that your forefathers brought the truth and the sacredness and the strength into this nation, and they would dare to expel those values and those truths," says the Lord. "I will come. I just need somebody to shout out for Me, and I will come," says the Lord, "and I will pour out of My Spirit upon you. Shout!"
I pray, Spirit of fire, baptism of fire, return to our land again and baptize our young men and our young women so they will prophesy and see visions and dream dreams! I release that now! I release that now! Lift Him up!
God says, "I speak from this house because I trust you," says the Lord of Hosts. "For they have turned Me down, and many states have said 'No,' for they are fearing man; they have feared man and they have said, 'We must be friendly, and we must bring them in, and we must push out the Holy Spirit and the baptism, and the Parakletos, and the signs and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.'" God says, "It is impossible for you to expel what has been planted by the Apostles. It is impossible for you to expel the fire that once came." God said, "I'm going to send a baptism like I did on the Day of Pentecost, and," God says, "because you made a choice, I make the choice to do it as well!"
"Do you realize," says the Spirit of the Lord, "that the baptism that I'm about to send to you is greater than the baptism that took place at the turn of the last century? They boast and speak about the Azusa revival." God said, "It was wonderful, but do you realize that this land is in the same place? It is dry, it is thirsty, but," God said, "there is a remnant of people that refuse to bend down to the spirit of Babylon, that refuse to bend down to compromise, that refuse to stop the Spirit of God from resting His feet on this land."
The Spirit of God said, "Yes, I have watched how rain has come, but it has been destructive. But," God said, "what is going to come now is a baptism like you have never seen, for your children and your children's children to capture what they gave to you, and what they prophesied was for your children. Rejoice! It's yours!"
Send us the fire, send us the rain, we're ready!
To a dry and thirsty land, we're ready!
And to a dry and thirsty home, we're ready!
There is a Window Open in Heaven
Over America
The Spirit of God says, "There is rebellion. There is rebellion in this nation and it has become as witchcraft. Now," God says, "Watch as the baptism of the Spirit comes. I will wipe out and drive out rebellion from your White House, and I will shake it off this land," says the Lord!
God has opened a window in the Heavens, but it's not big, and I said to the Lord, "Why isn't it all over America?" And He said, "I cannot open where there is no great need." And I said, "Lord, America has incredible need." And He said, "Not the need I'm talking about."
When Jacob laid his head on that rock he had nothing. But America is lavished even in a recession, which is recovering so quickly as prophesied. There is a great need for direction, for destiny. What I saw was this window open. It's just a window that's open in Heaven, and the Lord said, "I just have to shine on one person." We know it's not just one, but one company. "And that word that I have must just go into the heart of one person and it will spread like wild fire."
Your decision makes descendants. Every decision you make, makes descendants, good or bad, blessing or curse. Your decision can be just like Lot's daughters when they impregnated themselves out of fear; they created nations which became multitudes.
And apparently, some decisions have been made in this nation and in many nations that have created bad and cursed descendants; and I'm not talking about your children naturally, I'm talking about spiritually. Apparently, the Church was too passive 20 years ago. But this has to change now, and the prophet brings you a word, and this is the word:
"The Place of Pain that We are In is About to Be Turned into a Place of Reign"
There is an opening in the Heaven, and I saw it; and the Spirit of God said it will come upon them like the 120 (see Acts 1 and 2), and it will breathe upon them�and these are companies all over the nation, and they will suddenly rise to the occasion. And they will be like warriors that will not be satisfied until they see the outburst of this incredible Spirit that apparently has been hurt, is sorrowful; the Holy Spirit has been grieved by the shunning of the most beautiful gifts that He gave to mankind�the gifts of the Holy Spirit�grieved because of abuse and misrepresentation.
He said to me, "I want to restore and restructure this." He said that it may not happen within the four walls of the Church, that it may begin to go out into the highways and byways, and that there would be baptisms of the Spirit in valleys, prisons, back street alleys. This is going to happen.
If I've ever felt the passion and strength of a prophetic word like this; I've never felt it like this: It's today. There is an opening and we must take advantage of it. And the place of pain that we are in is about to be turned into a place of reign. In the place where we said, "God could never be here," we'll say, "God was in this place and I never knew it."
We did this in Chicago�we said, "Send it up the ladder." Send your prayers up the ladder, because the pain of Jacob was being sent and it was ascending up the ladder, and the angels were taking it and presenting it to God; and once they sent it up the ladder�once the pain from Jacob's heart was sent up the ladder�taken by the angel of the Lord, what happened? God sent a word back down the ladder and He began to speak and tell Him the long-term vision.
Listen, this short-term challenge is just for a moment. Now you are going to look at the big thing. There are descendants that are going to come from you because of this one decision that you've made, thus saith the Lord!
"This Baptism Coming Shall Capture a Young Generation, and I Will Baptize the Islamic Youth with My Holy Spirit"
God wants to bless America, the sound of sirens must go. The sounds of war must go. The Middle Eastern infiltration shall not be as it is in the United Kingdom. God will not allow it. "What are you saying?" Yes, they will always be present. God said, "With this baptism coming and with the refreshing of the Holy Spirit, it shall capture a young generation. This is My strategy," says the Lord.
"And then I will take you to your proclamation for your nation. Do you know what I will do with the youth, the Islamic youth in this nation? I will baptize them with My Holy Spirit! Yes, we won't behead them. We won't kill them. We won't do the barbaric things they have done to their own," says the Lord. "I will baptize them with the Spirit, and they will shout, 'Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua!'"
My friend George is right about Kim Clement and the others in the New Prophetic Movement. Remember the standard Jesus gave us for Prophets. Everything they say has to come to pass. All of this group has been wrong more than right. Please do not be deceived. Too many will be in these last days.
