Dear brethren,

The baptism with the Holy Spirit is a misunderstood topic even among saved, Bible-believing Christians. It has divided churches into factions and torn brothers and sisters apart. Now, why is that? What is responsible for this? What are the hindrances? Why are we allowing the greatest power available to us just by asking to become such a dividing force?

In all honesty, this is the era of the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit baptism and continuous infilling is necessary to live a life full of his presence, power, and leading. With the increased outpouring of demonic activities in our world today as we race toward the end, it will be practically impossible to be effective in ministry and live a successful and victorious Christian life without the infilling and continuous infilling of the Holy Spirit for ministry in advancing the kingdom of God in a wicked world.

If you are a Christian, the Holy Spirit already dwells within you. How is that possible? For our example, consider the following. When you purchase a mechanical item that runs on batteries, frequently the notice "batteries not included" is printed on the box. The Holy Spirit - your source of power for living - is "included" when you receive Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. Therefore, you do not need to invite him to come into your life. He came to live within you when you became a Christian, and Jesus promised that he would never leave you.

The moment you received Christ and asked the Holy Spirit to come into you, the Holy Spirit not only came to indwell you, but he imparted to you spiritual life, causing you to be born anew as a child of God. The Holy Spirit also baptized you into the body of Christ. In

1 Corinthians 12:13 Amplified Bible (AMP): "For by one [Holy] Spirit we were all baptized into one body, [spiritually transformed - united together] whether Jews or Greeks (Gentiles), slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit [since the same Holy Spirit fills each life."
