It explains that the Holy Spirit was promised by God and Jesus, prepares believers for spiritual birth and power, and teaches and guides believers. Receiving the Holy Spirit involves repentance, baptism, asking God, thirsting for the Spirit, and surrendering fully to God through worship and prayer. The document provides biblical support for these points and encourages readers to seek receiving the Holy Spirit.

Repentance In Christian Conversion
Repentance is an act by which we realise we have offended an Holy and righteous God; this act is characterised by a deliberate turn away from the sinful act(s) in question, begging for God’s forgiveness and turning to him and his ways. Repentance is also that window that opens for us to see what we are called to; this being that, we are to represent God’s living and working in human life; how the effects of sin’s offensive attack on God defeats this purpose and how it can be remedied by means of the lordship of God’s Spirit over man’s spirit, soul and body.

Hello friend! =D
If you would like to accept Jesus Christ as your personal God and savior, please let us know by emailing us at walkthewok@gmail.com
Jesus loves you very much. May God richly bless you my friend!
My friend, you don’t need to keep waiting until the Lord tells you what your call is. He already stated it in the scriptures. He charged us to do the very same things that he was doing. He was not going to ask us to do something that we were not able to do. He put it in our spirit everything that we could ever need to do what he commanded us to do.

He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
