1. The Power of the New
Testament Church- Praying
in The Holy Spirit

2. Acts 2:42
“And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and
fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers”
In the Original Greek it says “the prayer”

3. Acts 2:1-4
“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were
all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as a rushing
mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were
sitting.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire,
and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to
speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”

4. Leviticus 23:16-18, 21 (NKJV)
“Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then
you shall offer a new grain offering to the Lord.”
Verse 21: “And you shall proclaim on the same day that it is
a holy convocation to you. You shall do no customary work
on it.”

5. Hosea 14:2
“Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him,
Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we
render the calves of our lips.”
“

6. Isaiah 28: 11-12
“For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak
to this people.
To whom he said, this is the rest wherewith ye may cause
the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing; yet they would
not hear.”

7. Compare the Pentecost of Mt Sinai and the Pentecost at Mt
Zion

8. John 7:37-39
“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and
cried, saying, if any man thirst, let him come unto me, and
drink.
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his
belly shall flow rivers of living water.
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”

9. Mark 16:17-18
“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.”

10. Acts 1:4-5, 8
“And being assembled together with them, commanded
them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait
for the promise of the Father, which saith he, ye have heard
of me.
“For John truly baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized
with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.”
Verse 8:
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is
come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me…”

11. Acts 2:1-4:
“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were
all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a
rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they
were sitting.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire,
and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to
speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance

12. Can you receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit without
speaking in tongues?

13. Peter preaching to Cornelius
Acts 10:43-45
“To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name
whosoever believeth in him shall receive the remission of
sins.
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on
all them which heard the word.
And they of the circumcision which believed were
astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the
Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.”

14. How did they know the Gentiles received the Spirit?
Verse 46: “For they heard them speak with tongues, and
magnify God.”

15. Paul speaking to believers in Ephesus
Acts 19:2-6
“He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since
ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much
as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized?
And they said, Unto John’s baptism.
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of
repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe
on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

16. Acts 19:5-6
“When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of
the Lord Jesus.
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy
Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and
prophesied.”

17. Paul clearly tells us praying in the Spirit is praying in tongues.
1 Cor 14:2 “For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue
speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man
understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh
mysteries.”
Verse 4: “He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth
himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.”

18. Verse 14-15: “For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit
prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray
with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I
will sing with the understanding also.”

19. Verse 18-19 “I thank my God, I speak with tongues more
than ye all:
Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my
understanding that by my voice I might teach others also,
than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.”

20. Romans 8:26-27
“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we
know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the
Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which
cannot be uttered.
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind
of he Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints
according to the will of God.”

21. John 5:14-15
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we
ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:
And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we
know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”

22. Psalm 105:37
“He brought them forth also with silver and
gold: and there was not one feeble person
among their tribes.”
