Holy Spirit: Are We Flammable Or Fireproof?Sample

It’s for All

The Holy Spirit is not distributed by lottery, with a few people selected to receive. It is not a game of chance. There are no winners or losers. Those whom God calls, He equips. There is more than enough power to go around. No one is left out, and no one gets leftovers. Don’t disqualify yourself when you are already accepted.

The Scriptures are clear and without Vagueness. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is not just for a few of “God’s favorites.” No, God has no “favorites.” In fact, we are all His favorites. On the Day of Pentecost, 120 men and women were in the Upper Room in Jerusalem, and we read in Acts 2:3 and 4, “Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit...” It was no coincidence and NO LOTTERY! “Each” of the 120 received and “all” were filled. Their gender was not a consideration, neither was their age nor race nor status in life. 

Somebody in heaven must have counted the heads, since one flame landed “on each of them.” If you have a head, God has a flame for you. Right now, His count includes you. “You shall receive power...” (Acts 1:8). Just imagine, your head becomes a landing strip for the fire of the Holy Spirit. He lands and abides–never to take off again.

Every one of the 120 disciples in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. No one was left out. It was not just for the 12 apostles that we know or that walked closely with Jesus. There were nameless ones that also received. They may not have been famous, but they were faithful. They showed up in the Upper Room and waited for the promise. The Holy Spirit came upon all, and a flame of fire landed on top of all their heads—120 flames for 120 faithful ones. If you show up, you will have a flame of power for your assignment.
