I told My disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they received the Promise of My Father. I told them that John baptized with water, but soon they would be baptized with the Holy Spirit. When they were gathered in the upper room in Jerusalem, the Promise of My Father was delivered to them. My Holy Spirit came upon them in power and they all began to speak in tongues.
Much more was delivered to them that day besides the gift of speaking in a new prayer language. They received the seven-fold power of My Spirit. They received wisdom and understanding, might and counsel, knowledge and the fear of the Lord and of course, My very own spirit. The empowerment they received that day enabled them to evangelize the world.
You can receive that same power today. I am the One Who baptizes you with My Spirit. Simply ask and I will give this power to you so that you can be a more effective witness of My glory on earth.
It is My Father's pleasure to give this wonderful promise to you.
