The word of the Lord to the congregation, at Grace & Truth, recently, was: '(many) have been tricked into trying to undertake the work that the Holy Ghost is ordained and equipped to DO IN/THRU (you)' ...saying further: “Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh?” Selah. [Gal 3:3]
And the answer is, Nay, rather “the blessing of Abraham is come on the Gentiles through Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith” ...not works. [Gal 3:14]
Jesus told His disciples: “Behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you: but wait ...until ye be endued/clothed about/filled with power from on high (for the witness).” [Lk 24:49]
There are two necessary baptisms. First, the baptism of water (signifying repentance from sins committed); second, the baptism of the Holy Ghost (which is the total saturation of/by the Spirit; which fills us with the 'life' of Christ).
Here is the promise: “And ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem...Judea ...Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” [Acts 1:8]
ThenSingsMySoul:
COME, HOLY SPIRIT I NEED YOU,
COME, (HOLY) SPIRIT I PRAY;
COME IN YOUR STRENGTH AND YOUR POWER;
COME IN YOUR OWN GENTLE WAY.
