    It's vital that we experience this – that the infilling of the Holy Spirit – as it was poured out in the upper room – becomes part of our daily lives. As in Romans 8:26 "we do not know what we ought to pray for – but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us…". I find it is easier to pray/intercede in tongues when we do not know how to put into 'words' how to pray.

    It means spending intentional time with the Holy Spirit every morning. This time would give the Holy Spirit space to correct things in my heart and mind, prepare me for the day ahead, no matter what I am facing and fill me with love, peace and joy. It would also allow for the Holy Spirit to empower me to take on everything I am being called to in that day as well.

    I am reminded of the words of Jesus in John 16:7 "I tell you the truth. It is better for you that I go away. If I do not go, the Helper will not come to you. If I go, I will send Him to you." This statement establishes how essential the Holy Spirit is to the life of believers. As amazing as it must have been for the disciples to have had Jesus with them in the flesh, He was telling them that what they were about to receive was so valuable, that it was better that He should go, so they could receive it!

    As a foundational concept of the ACOP, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is a gift to us both personally and corporately as a fellowship of like-minded believers. The corporate aspect is something that can encourage and strengthen our own personal conviction and serve to further allow the power of Holy Spirit to lead, guide and move through us in every area of our lives.

    The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a miracle, evidence of the reality of God and His personal concern for us. It facilitates our experiencing the favour of God and enjoying being able to worship in Spirit and truth. We get a glimpse of the joy of being in sync with the Spirit of God. It also is essential for ministering in power and authority and the observable gifts of the Holy Spirit in operation.
