The Power of the Holy Spirit: God’s Promise to the Believers and the Initial Sign

By Samuel R. Bess

The purpose of this book is to enlighten and help you receive God’s precious promise so that God’s perfect will can be done in your life. This book will help you understand why the Holy Spirit should be sought after once you believe and get baptized. God’s most precious promise is now available to you so you do not have to be robbed of something very valuable in your spiritual walk. I believe that this book will encourage you to seek the Holy Ghost if you truly believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this book, you will learn seven steps to help you receive the Holy Spirit as well as learn why believers should speak in tongues.
The traditions and doctrines of men have robbed many believers of this power to be witnesses, with the evidence of speaking in tongues, that Jesus Christ has been raised from the dead. The world is not supposed to hear words but see proof that Jesus is alive today. As a believer, you should be taught to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and walk in love. I hope this book will teach you to trust the Word of God and believe what His Word says. The power of the Holy Spirit is now available to you today. Receive ye the Holy Spirit and remember to walk in love!

FOREWORD

I CHALLENGE ALL believers to ask yourselves this question, How can we experience the power of a new life in which our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ spoke of in the Bible and walk in authority and power in this world? The answer can only be found in 1 Corinthians 12:3; it states that no man says Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. I want to draw your attention to what Jesus did while he walked the earth. Fact one is that Jesus gave us the authority— Exousia , which means the legal right to act. But the Master also spoke about the second addition to the church, and this would only come when he ascended to heaven to be with the Father. Fact two is that in the coming of the Holy Spirit, the church received power— Dunamis , meaning the strength and ability to act and enforce in Acts 1:8. You will have power to live a new life. This book will explain why everyone needs to be filled with the Holy Spirit based on the initial sign. Once you have been filled, the true potential that God has placed in you can be unleashed through the body of Christ. Are you ready?
