Listen to Acts 19:1-7

Twelve Disciples of John the Baptist

1 While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled through the interior regions and came to Ephesus. He found some disciples

2 and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" "No," they told him, "we haven't even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."

3 "Then with what [baptism] were you baptized?" he asked them. "With John's baptism," they replied.

4 Paul said, "John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people that they should believe in the One who would come after him, that is, in Jesus."

5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

6 And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began to speak with [other] languages and to prophesy.

7 Now there were about 12 men in all.

Jack Hibbs

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.
