Awakening: How To Follow JesusEsimerkki

THE AUTHORITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is not a lesser version of God, but fully God. He has the power to convict your heart of sin, empower you for ministry, and enable you to know Jesus Christ. When you receive the Holy Spirit, you receive "power from on high". The evidence of having the baptism of the Holy Spirit is the ability to speak in tongues or a “heavenly language." This is the prayer language of heaven the Holy Spirit will use to speak through you like a direct line to access heaven.

Another evidence of having the Holy Spirit dwelling within you, is that your life will produce fruit. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” (Gal 5:22). This is so that the world will see the actions of your life and give glory to God. God gives you the Spirit to enable you to do His will, and to do it with audacity.
