But one thing is sure and certain, these series of teachings will ignite a fresh passion and power into your life in Jesus name. From our last lesson, I shared with you some of the benefits of the baptism experience in the Holy Spirit, I pray these benefits will be a reality in your life. Today by his grace, I intend to go further by examining other benefits associated with this baptism experience. Are you ready for this? I believe you are, so off we go!
BENEFITS OF THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
4. It helps you pray in line with God’s perfect will.
Praying in line with God’s will is so crucial if you want to get answers to your prayers. From experience, I’ve come to realize that this is an area of challenge for most believers. But you need not worry about this anymore because this is one of the blessings of the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Glory be to God! Your days of praying amiss are over if you will only follow the leading and help of the Holy Spirit. This is why he is in your life. He is there as your intercessor, strengthener, helper, counselor, standby, and advocate. You are really not alone because he is there to assist and help you overcome the infirmities and weaknesses of the body and mind. So, rejoice dearly, beloved; it’s a new day for you. Eph 6 v 12: Rom 8 v 26 – 27
5. It helps you to magnify God.
We are often limited in the flesh as to how we ought to praise God. This is why the blessing of the baptism in the Holy Spirit is of utmost importance because there is no limit to how you can praise God with your spiritual language. Beloved, it’s time to utilize this benefit to your advantage. Acts 10 v 46
6. It helps you to stay sensitive to the Spirit.
Praying or speaking in tongues helps you to stay conscious of the Holy Spirit’s presence. This is such a huge blessing to one’s life. If I were you, I would jealously guard this treasure. You need to be more conscious of his presence with you than you have been devil conscious. Jn 14 v 16 – 17. May this be your testimony and Experience in the land of the living.
7. It builds up your faith.
Speaking or praying in tongues does not give you faith but stimulates and strengthens your faith. This blessing of the baptism experience in the Holy Spirit is such a valuable one because there will be times when your faith will be under attack; that is when you switch over to this to this amazing benefit that you have access to in the Holy Spirit. It will give you respite and great succor. It’s high time you built up your faith. In fact, I believe the days of your faith wobbling are over because strength and power are made available to you right now in Jesus name. If you believe this, say a big Amen. Jud 1 v 20
Other scriptural references: Isa 28 v 11 – 12: Jam 3 v 8: Eph 3 v 14 – 16; 5 v 18: Acts 4 v 8,13 ,31; 13 v 52
Prayer for today: Glory be to God for the blessing of the baptism in the Holy Spirit is mine in Jesus name, amen.
CONFESSION: My days of walking in the dark are over because I have a light of life. I walk in the light of his word, and the blessings of the baptism in the Holy Spirit are mine. It’s a living reality in my life and work. Glory be to his name; I am a beneficiary of the benefits of the Holy Spirit!
