We shall all be changed in the twinklingof an eye!This video is to encourage all of those who are born again and all of those who are not born again watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. 1

1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 1 Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 2

1 Corinthians 15:50-53 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 3

1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS

John 5:21-29 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He thatheareth my Word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 5

Luke 21:27-36 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your ownselves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my Words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. 6

First of all, let me warn you ahead of time, that there are many people (such as Elymas Barjesus, the sorcerer in Acts 13:8. See next slide) who will purposely do whatever they can to keep you from hearing the true Word of God that the disciples of Jesus preached. In this presentation, I will show you scriptures in the Word of God that will enable you to recognize when someone has changed the Word of God to fit their own doctrine. 7ISN’T THE RAPTURE EXCITING NEWS? Do you want to be ready when Jesus comes for His Church, but you need someone to tell you what to do? Great, I have the answer for you!

Acts 13:6-12 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus: Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the Word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul, (who also is called Paul) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.8God’s judgment fell on Elymas Barjesus The Sorcerer, for trying to stop Sergius Paulus From hearing the Word of God. God wants all people to hear about the gospel of His Son, For it is the gospel of salvation. Those who hinder people from hearing the gospel are in danger of the judgment of God.

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! False prophets, etc., stop hindering people from knowing how to be born again as taught by the disciples of Jesus. Repent of your sins and ask the LORD to forgive you. Perhaps he will show you mercy and forgive you of your sin!9

10Well, what is wrong with repeating the sinner’s prayer?Did you know that the SINNER’S PRAYER is not in the Bible and it never has been? There is more to salvation than repeating words that people tell you to say. There are many variations of the words used in the sinner’s prayer, but they are all basically the same. Never listen to people who tell you to repeat the sinner’s prayer and you will be saved, because it is not true. I will show you scriptures that show how the disciples preached the Word of God.

11

 Galatians 1:6-9 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;  Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. Don’t believe everyone who tell you they are of Jesus Christ. If they are of Jesus Christ, they will believe and preach the same gospel that His disciples preached. satan uses false prophets, preachers, and teachers, etc., to stop people from hearing the true gospel of Jesus Christ.12

13 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.  2 Corinthians 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.  2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.  2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.  2 Corinthians 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. AND NO MARVEL; FOR SATAN HIMSELF IS TRANSFORMED INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT.

BEING SINCERELY WRONG DOES NOT MAKE YOU RIGHT!People may be sincere when they tell you that after you have said the SINNER’S PRAYER, you are now born again and filled with God’s Spirit and are now in the family of God. But, they are sincerely wrong, and sincerely wrong does not make them right.FOR EXAMPLE: SAUL (PAUL) WAS SINCERELY WRONG!Paul, before his conversion and faith in Jesus Christ, thought he was right, but he was sincerely wrong for thinking that his tormenting the Christians was the will of God. Jesus had to get his attention to let him know that it was he, Jesus, that Paul was fighting against.(Read the scripture on the next slide) 14

Acts 9:1-9 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. (Webster dictionary: prick: To affect with sharp pain; to sting with remorse.) And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. (cont. on next slide)Did you notice that Jesus did not tell Saul what to do? Jesus still uses people to tell others about Himself, and to preach the true gospel about how to be born again, as the disciples told it.15SAUL (PAUL) BEFORE HIS CONVERSION, THOUGHT HE WAS RIGHT, BUT HE WAS SINCERELY WRONG!

Acts 9:10 -18 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. 16SAUL (PAUL) BEFORE HIS CONVERSION, THOUGHT HE WAS RIGHT, BUT HE WAS SINCERELY WRONG!

GOD GAVE HIS SON TO DIE ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS. AND ONLY THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND THE GRACE AND MERCY OF GOD SAVES US, NOT THE SINNER’S PRAYER. If used at all, the sinner’s prayer could possibly be used as a step towards opening your heart to God; but asking for forgiveness and asking Jesus to come into your heart is only the beginning step. You must be baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of your sins and you must be filled with the Holy Ghost (with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives you the utterance), and you must live a holy life that pleases the Lord. You can only mortify the deeds of the flesh and be led by the Spirit, if you are filled with the Spirit of God, and are allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you in the ways that please God.Romans 8:13-17 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 17

19What? You mean we’ve been lied to about that, too?And are you aware that ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVEDis not in the Bible, either?

People who say ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED, may be sincere, but they are sincerely wrong.The Word of God asks: “Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid.”Read below to see how you should live after you are free from sin.Romans 6:1-4 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Romans 6:12-23 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 20

1 Peter 1:13-16 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Romans 8:13-17 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. NOTICE THAT THE SCRIPTURES BELOW DO NOT SAY YOU CAN CONTINUE LIVING ANY WAY YOU WANT TO, BECAUSE ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED.21

Those who foolishly say they can do any thing and live any way they want to BECAUSE ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED are just deceiving themselves. They should not tempt the Lord with such nonsense, for He will not be mocked.Galatians 6:7-9 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Luke 4:12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.Matthew 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.Deuteronomy 6:16 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.1 Corinthians 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.1 Corinthians 3:16-18 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 22

1 John 1:3-10 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. IF WE SAY THAT WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM, AND WALK IN DARKNESS, WE LIE, AND DO NOT THE TRUTH24

1 JOHN 3:6 WHOSOEVER ABIDETH IN HIM SINNETH NOT: WHOSOEVER SINNETH HATH NOT SEEN HIM, NEITHER KNOWN HIM. Notice that the scripture says “whosoever abideth in him sinneth not”. But, if we do not abide in him, we do sin … and we are liars if we say we have not sinned.25

JESUS GAVE PETER THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM. PETER FIRST USED THOSE KEYS ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST.(Read Acts 2:38-39 on the next slide)26

27Mark 16:15-18 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Acts 2:38-39 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 27

Don’t build your faith, belief, and your salvation on only one scripture. (Like some people do, who repeat the exact words in Matthew 28:19 when baptizing people, instead of obeying it like the disciples did). John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.“Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Read all of the book of Acts, to find out for yourself how the disciples always obeyed the command in Matthew 28:19-20.28

Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, As you read the book of Acts, You will discover that the ONLY NAME the disciples baptized people in was IN THE NAME OF JESUS. They knew that Jesus was the name referred to in Matthew 28:19. Remember, Jesus opened the disciples understanding to understand the scriptures. Always compare scriptures with other scriptures that say the same thing about Jesus and salvation. John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 29

THE BOOK OF ACTS records the actions of the disciples as they peached the gospel to people; it shows what name they told people to get baptized in and it shows how they knew God had filled people with the Holy Ghost.30TO FIND OUT HOW TO BE BORN AGAIN OF THE WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, YOU DO NOT GO TO THE EPISTLES, YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE BOOK OF ACTS. (Epistles are also called Letters). You WILL NOT FIND SALVATION IN THE EPISTLES. The Epistles are given as instructions to born again believers, on how to live after they have been baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost.30

Luke 11:9-13 …. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 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? 31God wants to give the Holy Spirit to everyone, including children. Children get filled with the same Holy Spirit as teens and adults! (for there is only One Holy Spirit)

John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. John 7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)THOSE WHO BELIEVE ON JESUS WILL RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT32

Some may ask, “Why do I have to be filled with theHoly Ghost … isn’t believing in Jesus good enough?”There is more to believing then simply saying you believe.If you truly believe, you will obey the Word of God.Romans 8:9-11 “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” I pray that you now understand quite clearly that you must be filled with the Spirit of Christ. And why? Because if you are not, you do not belong to Him, and if you don’t belong to him, your mortal body cannot and will not be quickened (changed) to be caught up to meet Jesus in the sky when He comes back for His born again believers.33

YOU WILL SPEAK IN TONGUES WHEN GOD FILLS YOU WITH HIS SPIRIT.28THOSE IN THE BIBLE DID! WE DID! OTHERS DID! AND SO WILL YOU!34

Knowing and reading about the Rapture is so very exciting, but as mentioned in the beginning of this video, you must know how to be born again of the water and of the Spirit. On the next slide are some review questions that will help you remember what you learned in this video about how to be born again and how to receive the Holy Spirit.35Following the REVIEW QUESTIONS slide, are slides that will take you through some steps to prepare yourself to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

How did the disciples baptize people? Did they sprinkling them or immerge them in water? Answer: they were immerged! In Whose name did they baptized people in? Was it in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, or in the name of Jesus? Answer: in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins. What happened when they prayed for people to be filled with the Holy Ghost? Did the people speak in tongues or did they claim they received the Holy Ghost by faith without speaking in tongues?Answer: they spoke in tongues. Did they preach be holy and be perfect or did they preach once you are saved you are always saved, no matter how you live?Answer: Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Romans 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?) May the Lord’s Holy Spirit guide you into the whole truth of God’s Word.REVIEW QUESTIONS 36

SOME HELPFUL STEPS TOWARD PREPARING YOURSELF TO BE FILLED WITH GOD’S SPIRIT!37

Just as satan lied to Eve, he is still lying to people today, telling them they don’t have to obey God and that they won’t die if they disobey God. Those lying words of satan caused sin to enter the world and caused Adam and Eve to be kicked out of the garden of Eden. satan hates God and humanity, and doesn’t want us to obey God so that one day we can live in God’s beautiful heaven. REMINDER: the same heaven that satan was cast out of.38

Ask the Lord to forgive you for all the bad things (called sins) that you have done, and He will. You don’t have to worry about how many sins you can remember … God knows what they are. All you have to do is repent, asking Him to forgive you of those sins. THE FIRST THING TO DO IS REPENT (BE SORRY OF YOUR SINS) 39

WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO REPENT OF YOUR SINS? BECAUSE …..40

Hallelujah! Thank You Jesus! These are some praises some people say as they pray to receive the Holy Spirit. They are not useless words to say, they are true words of worship, if your heart is into what you are saying.41After you have repented of your sins, thank God for forgiving you of your sins, and begin praising and worshipping Him in your own words. Use whatever praises you feel comfortable saying. Just be sincere in what you say. Something wonderful is about to happen to you. God is going to fill you with His Holy Spirit.

Speak out loud as you praise the Lord. By that we mean use your voice to praise the Lord, instead of whispering or speaking in silence. It allows the Holy Spirit to use your voice, as He gives the utterance, and as a result, it helps prove to you that God has filled you with the Holy Ghost.So, open your mouth and begin praising the Lord out loud. 42

Just have faith in God and believe Him to fill you with His Spirit and He will … He promised He would give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks for it.Speak out loud whatever sounds are beginning to form in your mouth. As you continue to praise God, He will soon change those sounds into a clear language.43

Speaking out loud, does not mean you have to scream. It simply means use your voice so that you will know that God has filled you with His Spirit, which is His Seal showing He now owns you. No other religion has this Seal, which gives Witness and Proof that a person has been filled with the Holy Ghost. God does not leave His children in doubt or cause them have to wonder: Did God really fill me with the Holy Spirit? They know they have been filled with God’s Spirit, because they hear themselves speaking in tongues, as the Spirit gives them the utterance.2 Corinthians 1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the Word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 44

What an honor to worship such a wonderful and loving heavenly Father. As you praise and worship Him, your faith will grow stronger. I remind you again that God promised that if anyone asked Him for the Holy Spirit, He will give it to them, for God keeps His promises. The gift of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God to you. You do not have to beg Him for it. Just keep praising Him … it’s going to happen!45

Usually, after praising and worshipping the Lord for a while in your own known language, your tongue and lips will start moving very quickly, and it will become harder for you to continue speaking clearly in your known language. That’s called stammering lips!46

Many times, people feel God’s presence all around them and over them, but that does not mean God has filled them with His Holy Spirit, yet. 47

Just continue worshiping and praising the Lord, because that sound means that God is beginning to fill you with the Holy Ghost.Your tongue, lip, and mouth may feel funny to you, and it may seem as if they are going a hundred miles an hour, and the words coming out of your mouth might not make sense to you. It may seem strange, but get excited, you are almost there … soon, you will begin speaking in tongues as clearly as you speak in your known language.48

Some people think when their lips are stammering, they have been filled with the Holy Ghost.They are wrong! Stammering is something that usually happens just before the words the Holy Ghost is giving you to speak turns into a clear language.When stammering begins, yield yourself to God’s Spirit by allowing the words to change. If you were praising the Lord in your known language, and the Holy Spirit begins to form words in your mouth, don’t try to continue speaking in your known language. Just allow the Holy Spirit to change your words into the words He wants you to speak. (Those praying with you should be able to explain to you what that means)49

Some people think God has filled them with His Spirit because they feel good, feel happy, or cry. You must not depend on feelings. When you receive the Holy Ghost, you will hear yourself speak in tongues.50

Lift up your hands and begin praising the Lord. Close your eyes as you praise the Lord to keep yourself from being distracted by what is around you. Keep all of your attention on the LORD as you praise and worship Him. 51

CLOSING YOUR EYES MAY HELP YOU STAY FOCUSED ON THE LORD AS YOU PRAY. Some people are more easily distracted than others, that is why many times people are encouraged to close their eyes while praying to receive the Holy Spirit. And some people are more emotional then others, so you may hear some people speaking VERY loudly asthey worship the Lord. Try to not let that distract you, just continue focusing on the Lord as you praise and worship Him. If you stay focused on the Lord, you will be surprised how quickly you will lose focus on the person who is a bit loud and very emotional in their worship. 52

A reminder to thosewho are preventing people from hearing the Word of God:YOU SHOULD BE AFRAID, VERY AFRAID,for you will have to answer to God for doing so.53

ISN’T IT WONDERFUL TO KNOW THAT JESUS IS PRAYING FOR YOU?John 17:20 neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;54

ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, PRAY IN TONGUES OFTEN … DAILY IS EVEN BETTER!Some people don’t pray in the Holy Ghost for long periods of time. It causes some to lose faith and it becomes difficult for them to believe and begin speaking in tongues again, at least not without a lot of struggle to do so. Some think because they can’t speak in tongues again, they have lost the Holy Ghost, and leave the church. Jesus said He would never leave us, and the Bible tells us to stir up the gift that is in us. Believe it or not, you can speak in tongues again, for it is the Spirit that speaks through you. Just begin sincerely praising the Lord with all your heart and believe it is going to happen and it will. Your faith is just a little low, so in order to not go through the difficult struggle of trying to speak in tongues again, don’t wait for a long time to speak in tongues; pray in the Holy Ghost often, even daily.55

Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and obey His gospel, and you shall also be changed in the twinklingof an eye, to meet Jesus in the air!56
