Acts 19:1-7

Listen to Acts 19:1-7

1 While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled through the interior provinces to get to the city of Ephesus. He met some disciples in Ephesus

2 and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?" They answered him, "No, we've never even heard of the Holy Spirit."

3 Paul asked them, "What kind of baptism did you have?" They answered, "John's baptism."

4 Paul said, "John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. John told people to believe in Jesus, who was coming later."

5 After they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came to them, and they began to talk in other languages and to speak what God had revealed.

7 About twelve men were in the group.

The Holy Spirit In The Life Of The Believer - 3B

Jack Hibbs

Before we received Christ, God began to intensify the emptiness within our hearts. The need to pursue Him grew deeper and deeper inside our minds. In the same way, once we receive the Holy Spirit, He begins to reveal Himself to us, prompting us towards a vision, or by creating a ministry for us wherever there is a need.
