Gloria Copeland — Filled With the Holy Spirit
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland
After Jesus Christ was raised from the dead and before
He ascended into heaven, He left us this promise: “Ye shall
receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto me…[throughout] the earth”
(Acts 1:8). The Holy Spirit is the One who endues us with
power for our Christian walk and to do the works of Jesus
(John 14:12).
God has already sent the Holy Spirit. He came to earth on
the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2). Now it is up to you to receive
Him into your life.
Once you are born again, you can receive the Holy Spirit
just as you received Jesus—by faith in God’s Word. All you
must do is ask Him. Jesus said, “If ye then, being evil, know
how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more
shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that
ask him?” (Luke 11:13). The Holy Spirit will empower you
with God’s own power! You need His power working in you—
ask Him now.
My heavenly Father, I am a believer. I am Your child and
You are my Father. Jesus is my Lord. I believe with all my
heart that Your Word is true. Your Word says that, if I will
ask, I will receive the Holy Spirit, so in the Name of Jesus
Christ my Lord, I am asking You to fill me to overflowing
with Your precious Holy Spirit. Baptize me in the Holy
Spirit. Because of Your Word, I believe that I now receive
and I thank You for it. I believe that the Holy Spirit is
within me and, by faith, I accept it. Now, Holy Spirit, rise
up within me as I praise my God. I fully expect to speak
with other tongues as You give me the utterance.
Meditate on these scriptures about the Holy Spirit: Luke
11:9-13; John 14:10, 12, 16-17; Acts 1:8, 2:4, 32-33, 38-39,
8:12-17, 10:44-46, 19:2, 5-6; 1 Corinthians 14:2-15, 18, 27;
Ephesians 6:18; Jude 20.
