8. BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
“On the last day, that great day of
the feast, Jesus stood and cried out,
saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him
come to Me and drink. He who
believes in Me, as the Scripture has
said, out of his heart will 6low
rivers of living water.”
But this He spoke concerning the
Spirit, Whom those believing in
Him would receive; for the Holy
Spirit was not yet given, because
Jesus was not yet glori6ied.”
(John 7:37–39, NKJV)

9. JESUS HAD TO DIE
SO THAT BELIEVERS COULD RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It
is to your advantage that I go away;
for if I do not go away, the Helper
will not come to you; but if I
depart, I will send Him to
you.” (John 16:7, NKJV)
Jesus says that the presence of the
Holy Spirit in the disciples will be
better than having Him physically
with them.

It was the power of the Holy Spirit

convinced people of the truth of what
they preached.

Samaria and preached Christ to them.
And the multitudes with one accord
heeded the things spoken by Philip,
hearing and seeing the miracles which
he did. For unclean spirits, crying with a
loud voice, came out of many who were
possessed; and many who were
paralysed and lame were healed.”
(Acts 8:5–7, NKJV)

11. THE ACTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
“Now it happened in Iconium that
they went together to the synagogue
of the Jews, and so spoke that a great
multitude both of the Jews and of the
Greeks believed. But the unbelieving
Jews stirred up the Gentiles and
poisoned their minds against the
brethren. Therefore they stayed
there a long time, speaking boldly in
the Lord, Who was bearing witness
to the Word of His grace, granting
signs and wonders to be done by
their hands.” (Acts 14:1–3, NKJV)

because I go to My Father.”

Him would do what He had done
because they had been baptised in
the Holy Spirit.

(forgiven) so that the Holy
Spirit can penetrate every part
of us.
