Did you receive the Holy Spirit?
(Acts. 19:1-7)

Even we live a powerless life after believing in Jesus is because of not being filled with the Holy Spirit. To have successfully faithful life, we should be filled with the fullness of the Holy Spirit. In addition, we should be filled with the Holy Spirit to change our life and to have revival of Korean churches.

1. The gift that the Father promised
Jesus asked his disciples not to leave Jerusalem to get the promised Holy Spirit (Acts. 1:4-5) Even Jesus' disciples were required to be filled with the Holy Spirit to spread the gospel. When they gathered at the attic to receive the Holy Spirit, waiting for the Holy Spirit, they prayed hard and finally they got the Holy Spirit. When they spread the gospel bravely after being filled with the Holy Spirit, 3,000 people repented their sins and turned to God (Acts. 2:41) As a result, the early church was established, opening the era of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit to live a powerful life.

2. The experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit
Apostle Paul centered on Ephesus as the ground for spreading the gospel during his third journey. People there heard the gospel and believed in Jesus but they didn't know about the Holy Spirit. So Paul asked them to receive the Holy Spirit when they had believed. They said they had never heard about it. To live as children of God after being saved, we should be filled with the Holy Spirit. (Eph.5:18) Without it, it is impossible for us to live as children of God in the world where there are full of sins and darkness. Therefore, we should be filled with the Holy Spirit to light the world with the torch of the Holy Spirit until the power of the Holy Spirit covers the world.

3. Life full of the grace of Jesus
When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we are filled with the Sprit of Jesus thereby resembling Jesus and showing about Jesus. Therefore, we should only lift Jesus and witness Jesus through the fullness of the Holy Spirit. When Apostle Paul taught about the Holy Spirit and prayed people by putting his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came. After Paul witnessed the Word of God at in the lecture hall of Tyrannus, the evil spirits went away from people and the sick were healed. Therefore, Ephesus, where once was full of sins and idolatry, was the city of the Gospel. Therefore, we should be captured by Holy Spirit to spread Jesus and the Gospel thereby leading the revival so that we can give glory to God as a man of the Holy Spirit.
