57. HOLY SPIRIT
--page 492--
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem,and in all Judea, and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the Earth (Acts 1:8).
1. The lamp burns best, when full of oil!
2. Is everybody happy and healthy? I know you're wealthy and wise because you have the Holy Spirit!
3. The oil flows freely through a wick that is yielded and deeply soaked in the oil! Then it is the oil that burns and not the wick, and gives bright pure clear light to all the house, in the beauty of His perfection, in the holiness of His light!
4. Help us not to try to do the work of Thy Spirit, but to let Thy Spirit work through us!
5. Jesus had to take His body away, so His followers could feel His Spirit--get their minds off the flesh, so they could get their hearts on His Spirit! When we're the furthest from the flesh--we're the closest to the Spirit.
6. You have His Spirit! You are His Truth!
7. If you follow the man, you'll go back when the man is gone. But if you follow the Spirit, you'll go on forever!
8. The main reason for the baptism in the Spirit is to give you POWER TO WITNESS!
9. Holy Ghost power means more disciples and less trouble with the ones you have.
10. Simply pray and ask Jesus to fill you with His Spirit and He will!
11. If the Devil's evil spirits possess evil people and if he gives his children evil powers--evil tongues, evil wickedness, evil strength and evil wisdom--how much more can God's good spirits possess good people and God give His children Godly gifts and Godly powers.
12. When you're saved, He implants a bit of Himself--His Spirit and His love and His spirit helpers and controllers--in your mind and heart to guide and direct and protect you and keep you in control and guided by His direct will and His leadings.
13. You'll never be able to escape that Hound of Heaven, Who'll follow you every step of the way and track you down no matter where you are and nail you one way or the other!
14. The Holy Ghost is the best concordance I've got.
15. Who needs drugs when you've got the Druggist? The Holy Spirit is not a depressant or even a stimulant, She's a resurrection which brings you back to life!
16. The Oil of His Holy Spirit oils everything: Our heads, our hearts, our spirits, our tongues and even our feet so we'll go and preach the Gospel!
17. If you don't have the oil of the Holy Spirit you'll get rusty and break down.
18. Don't just be overflowing with the water of the Word, overflow with the wine of the Spirit!
19. The kind of baptism we preach and practice is one where you get so full of the Spirit of God you overflow with His testimony, His witness and His wonder-working Words!
20. All we need is the Holy Spirit to conquer our own spirit, other spirits and evil spirits!
21. Our spirits, like machinery, need cleaning and oiling--the washing of the pure water of the Word and the oiling of the love and patience of the Holy Spirit!
22. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is an overflowing baptism of love--the power to share your love with others!
23. When you feel you cannot hold it and you have to tell others about Jesus, this is the overflowing, this is the baptism of the Holy Spirit!
24. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is love, love for the lost, love to witness, love to win souls, such a love for the Lord that you just love everybody!
25. God's Spirit is like a broadcasting station broadcasting all the time.
26. It is only the restraining power of God's Holy Spirit which prevents the flood of iniquity from overwhelming the World.
27. Being possessed of the Holy Spirit is a form of reincarnation. Any type of incarnation of any spirit working in a human body to which it does not normally nor originally belong is a form of reincarnation.
28. His Spirit will lead you into all truth--through His Word and His prophets as well as your individual leadings and personal revelations.
29. This army has got to be mostly directed from its headquarters in Heaven by the communication of the Holy Spirit, since our ground communications are very slow and very poor and extremely inadequate and frequently disrupted. If you follow the Lord you'll never go wrong.
30. The Holy Spirit is like a Mother, tender and gentle with the little baby. Not even the Father has so much patience.
31. I'd rather be drunk on the Spirit, than sober on sadness!
32. The Holy Spirit is more personal to us than God.
33. Unless the Holy Spirit reveals something to you and enlightens your mind, you can be totally blind to a certain truth that's been right there in front of you all the time!
34. The Holy Spirit is the Old Gold Miner who points the way to the treasures!
35. Oh the Spirit, blessed Spirit,
How I thank Thee, for by Thee
I am always in the Spirit
And I live a life that's free!
36. Oh I thank Thee for Thy Spirit
Thou hast given unto me,
For it's only by Thy Spirit
I have truly been set free!
37. Give me Spirit, give me Spirit,
Oh that's the life for me!
So for a Happy New Year
Give me Spirit that is free!
38. Dream Queen of Heaven's Realm Above,
Entrance me in God's spell of love,
Thrill me, fill me, gratify,
None like Thee can satisfy!
39. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is Love Power!
40. Just reading the Bible and studying the Word is not enough--You have to have air, the oxygen of the Spirit, to make it burn to give you power and energy spiritually.
41. Try the baptism of the Holy Spirit and see if it doesn't wet your soul and satisfy your thirst and cause you to witness and overflow on others with power, and get them saved and filled too! That's the kind of baptism we believe in and Jesus was talking about!
42. Holy Spirit oil poured on troubled waters calms the waters. Oil that's poured on squeaky parts of a mechanism that are complaining and howling and growling and groaning makes that part of the mechanism quiet and run smoothly without complaint.
43. How do you know you have the Holy Spirit? You know you're saved because somebody told you about Jesus, you believed it, you received Him and you know you're saved because the Bible says so. How do you know you have the Holy Ghost? Because someone told you about it, someone showed you out of the Bible, and you believed it, you asked for Her, you received Her, so you have Her. I don't care how She manifests Herself, or if She doesn't seem to at all immediately, you have the Holy Ghost if you ask for Her, if you really believe it.
44. His Spirit cures both impotency and frigidity in His bride and gives her the strength to conceive from the seeds of His Word, and bear children unto God--the Children of God!
45. He just pours in His Holy Spirit and just fills you from top to bottom, until you just overflow! And it just flows out all over you and covers you up and hides you so they can only see Jesus in you! All they can see is Jesus and you just disappear!
46. When you get filled with His Holy Ghost, you get so full of the Spirit you run over! It runs out your eyes, it runs out your mouth, it runs out your ears, it runs out all over so "we see no man save Jesus only". We see Jesus in each one of you.--That same glorious expression, happiness, joy, Spirit, smile and peace!--That little bit of Heaven on Earth, the reflection of Heaven in you, the moon, from God the Sun, Jesus Christ!
47. His ministering spirits are the ones that bring us these gifts of the Holy Spirit!
