The Holy Spirit Upon You



The Holy Spirit upon will do the following;
·       The Holy Spirit upon is the same Holy Spirit within. Our walk with the Holy Spirit leads us to a place where our lives are greatly/positively affected and we begin to overflow.

Acts 1:24 (NKJV)
And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen.

Acts 2:4 (NKJV)
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

·       The baptism and refilling of the Holy Spirit is an ongoing process (Luke 8:18-19).

·       The Holy Spirit upon is for service, not personal use. It is important to focus on the Spirit within and upon for complete growth purposes.
         
              The Spirit "Upon"  is available to the believer and can be transferred;
·       Through service to God. As you serve God and continue in your service to Him, He sees your heart and directs you just as in the case of Cornelius in in Acts.
·       Through tithes and offering
·       Through the Word – spend time studying the Word day and Night.
·       Through prayers – invest time in prayers
·       By serving the anointed man or woman of God.
·       By the laying of the mantle.
·       By looking into the eyes of the anointed man or woman of God with whom you have a relationship with.
·       By being of service to them.


It should be noted that, although the anointing can be transferred as mentioned above, the person receiving the transfer must remain in prayers and follow Paul’s example as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15:10 (NKJV) - But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.



The Holy Spirit Within You


The Holy Spirit Within You will do the following;

·       For our healing and health of our bodies. The Holy Spirit within vitalizes our mortal bodies.
Romans 8:11 (NKJV)
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Emphasis Mine

·       The Holy Spirit will lead us to walk with Him such that the life we live does not bring shame (condemnation). Therefore we ought to walk by His leadership, not by the flesh
Romans 8:1 (NKJV)
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Emphasis Mine

·       Children of God ought to abide by some roles – a life lived in the Word that leads to freedom.
Romans 8:4 (NKJV)
that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

·       When you walk with the Holy Spirit, you enjoy peace
Romans 8:6 (NKJV)
For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

·       We enjoy freedom as well.
2 Corinthians 3:17 (NKJV)
Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Emphasis Mine

Romans 8:14 (NKJV)
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

·       The Holy Spirit helps us in our infirmity.
Romans 8:26-27 (NKJV)
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

·       The Holy Spirit is able to lead us and teach us from within.
·       The Holy Spirit is able to comfort us from inside.
·       The Holy Spirit helps us to live from one level of glory to another (2 Corinthians 3:18). Colossians 1:27 (NKJV)…Christ in you, the hope of glory.

·       The Holy Spirit exposes the Word to us.
