LESSON 2

INTRODUCTION TO THE BAPTISIM OF THE HOLY GHOST

Acts 1:6-8 (KJV)

⁶ When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? ⁷ And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. ⁸ 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 Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Acts 1:6-8 (CEB)

⁶ As a result, those who had gathered together asked Jesus, “Lord, are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel now?” ⁷ Jesus replied, “It isn’t for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has set by his own authority. ⁸ Rather, you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

1.   RESTOREING THE KINGDOM TO ISRAEL V. 6-7

·        Expectation of Disciples

·        Jesus answer: that’s not important now; here is what is important now

2.   RECEIVING THE ‘POWER’ V. 8

·        First, the ‘power’ is a Person – the Holy Ghost

·        When He comes upon you major change takes place

·        You become a witness (one who has ‘been there, done that’)

·        Don’t keep witness to yourself, rather spread it everywhere

·        Even to the end of the earth

HAVE YOU BEEN FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST AND ARE YOU A WITNESS?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT?
