Baptism With the Holy Spirit
Baptism With the Holy Spirit
"You will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now." Acts 1:4
On this day, October 10, in the year of our Lord 1821, Charles Finney encountered the manifest presence of Christ. He fell weeping at Jesus’ feet and cried out, “‘I receive the mighty baptism of the Holy Ghost’…without expecting it, without ever having thought in my mind there was any such thing for me, without any recollection that I had ever heard the thing mentioned by any person in the world, at a moment entirely unexpected to me, the Holy Spirit descended upon me in a manner that seemed to go through me body and soul.”
Finney’s book Lectures on Revival, born out of many encounters with the manifest presence of Christ, was a bestseller in his day, with more than 250,000 copies in circulation when the entire population of the U.S. was less than thirty million.
Receive your baptism today.
Father God, right now baptize me with the Holy Spirit. Overshadow me. Immerse me. Saturate me. Flood my spirit, soul, and body with Your Holy Spirit, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
YEAR ON FIRE
