THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST, ACTS 2:1-4......(SUN AM 10/5/97)

This message explains the Nature of the Spirit Jesus breathed on His Disciples when He told them to receive the Holy Ghost. While Jesus was with them, the Disciples spent time striving over who was going to be the greatest and who was going to get to sit on His Left Hand, and who was going to be on His Right Hand. Jesus could not give them the Dove Spirit that had descended on Him, personally, when He was baptized, but He breathed a Breath of the Dove’s Spirit on them. And, that Breath was so Powerful that it sanctified them and brought them into one accord and made them willing to go back to Jerusalem and tarry until they were endued with Power from on High.

The 120 were in the Upper Room, in one accord, when suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty Wind. The Holy Ghost did not come to the Temple. He came to a separate house, in one room, to a group of people, some of whom already had been breathed on by the Dove Spirit. When the rushing mighty Wind came down on the house, the house started shaking. This is what drew the thousands of people who heard Peter preach on the Day of Pentecost.
