KNOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT
Memorise:
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee,
and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. .. Luke 1:35

Message
When I first got born again, I noticed that each time an altar call was made in church, the pastor would say, "Those who want salvation should come forward. Those who want sanctification and baptism in the Holy Spirit should ask God for it." At that time, I had never heard a teaching on the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and I wondered what the pastor meant. After some time, I became thirsty for the Holy Spirit; I wanted to really know Him, and I began to read books on the baptism of the Holy Spirit. In time, I became baptised in the Holy Spirit and grew really intimate with Him.
If you become a friend of the Holy Spirit, there is no limit to what God can do through you. While I was reading about the baptism of the Holy Spirit, today's Bible reading really caught my attention. The angel told Mary that she would have a son, and Mary asked a very important question, "How can I conceive when I am a virgin?" The angel then said, "The Holy Ghost will come upon you," and he ended his statement with, "For with God, nothing shall be impossible." Seeing this, I realised that if the Holy Ghost comes upon me and overshadows me, then nothing would be impossible for me.
Beloved, to live a life of holiness even when you are surrounded by so many temptations, you need the Holy Ghost. You also need the Holy Ghost for impossibilities to become possible in your life. When I read about how the Holy Spirit came upon Mary, I knew that I had to become intimate with the Holy Ghost in order to do exploits for od. Therefore, I got baptised in the Holy Ghost and began to speak His language. Then, He began to do seemingly impossible things for the spread of the gospel and the expansion of God's Kingdom through me.
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. ...Acts 1:8
When you make the Holy Ghost your friend, you will become empowered to do exploits and take the gospel to the ends of the earth. Make up your mind to become more and more intimate with Him every day.
