Now, I know that some of you may not know or understand exactly what I am referring to when I speak of Holy Ghost Power and Fire: and so I'll give to you a very brief explanation of what, or rather who the Holy Ghost is...
As we all already know, Jesus Christ was crucified on Good Friday, after being betrayed by Judas Iscariot, one of the organization twelve disciples. Three days later, after descending into hell, and stripping the keys of hell and death from lucifer himself, Jesus the Nazarene would rise again! For forty days after the resurrection, Jesus would show Himself many times to His disciples; walking along the dusty roads just days after His burial, cooking breakfast on the beach, and passing through walls of solid stone before He finally ascended into Heaven. Before beginning His final ascension into the heavenly places, Jesus would have one final meeting with His disciples, in which He ordered them to return to the upper room and tarry there until the promise of the Comforter, that is the Holy Spirit, would become a reality...
Ten days after Christ's ascension into heaven, Mary, the mother of Jesus, along with Mary Magdalene, the brothers of Jesus, the Apostles and many others totaling one-hundred and twenty, where praying when a mighty and rushing wind came down from Heaven, and each and everyone of the 120 individuals present there in the upper room that day received the gift of the Holy Ghost... That same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the grave filled everyone in that place that night, and that same Power is available to you and I today just as the Apostle Peter describes below...

| (The Holy Ghost) |
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved...
So, what do we do now? Ask yourself, do I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died for me? Yes! Now, What's the next step? Well, according to Acts 2:38, we must Repent of our sin, then we are to be Baptized in the Name of Jesus for the remission of our sins, and finally, we become eligible for the promise of Joel chapter two, that the Spirit will be poured out upon all flesh, and that that same Holy Ghost Power will rain down on you... Yes! It's free, it's Grace, it's Salvation, Liberty, Freedom, and it's all freely given to those who Believe... Thank you Jesus for your Holy Spirit... Amen...
