Jesus received the sign of the Holy Spirit at his baptism. He was God, He was anointed, but he didn’t begin his ministry until he received the Holy Spirit. Miracles began to flow through His life. Why would we want to try to accomplish anything without the power of the Holy Spirit in our life? The Holy Spirit is important! Jesus last words were of great importance! His last lecture was transformational! We should listen to his words and receive the Holy Spirit. When Paul asked the people who were already Jesus followers if they were filled with the Holy Spirit, they said they had not even heard there is a Holy Spirit. Does that sound like He was ignored, unnoticed, unappreciated, even forgotten, even within such a short time since the Holy Spirit first came and filled believers. This should not be! We need MORE, not less of the Holy Spirit! Let’s get it all! What part of you prays when you pray in tongues? It is your spirit! That is how the Holy Spirit prays through you as it says in Romans 8:26. You speak mysteries and edify yourself. Speaking in tongues bypasses the unbelief that is in your brain! It allows us to talk directly to God.When we get to heaven, we will see perfectly and know perfectly because our minds will be completely renewed and will be able to pray perfectly. Until that time we need the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives and specifically the power of speaking in tongues. We need it now!!!
