14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

367 Naked, and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in prison, and ye came unto Me.

1 Dear brothers and sisters, if another Christian is overcome by some sin, you who re Godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.

2 Share each other's troubles and problems, and in this way obey the law of Christ.

3 If you think you are too important to help someone in need, you are only fooling yourself. You are really a nobody.

4 Be sure to do what you should, for then you will enjoy the personal satisfaction of having done your work well, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else.

5 For we are each responsible for our own conduct.

12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises

James 2:15-17 KJV

15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

16 And one of you say unto them, depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; not with standing ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

I John 3:16-18, 22,23 KJV

16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

22 and whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

23 And this is His commandment, that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

Prayer:

Hebrews 13:20,21 KJV

20 Now The God Of Peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd Of The Sheep, through The Blood Of The Everlasting Covenant,

21 Make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

12 Wherein were all manner of four footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

John 14:15-18,26 KJV

15 If ye love Me, keep My commandments.

16 And I will pray The Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever.

17 Even The Spirit Of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

7 Nevertheless I tell you The Truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, The Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you.

8 And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on Me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and ye see Me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when He,The Spirit Of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will sew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Acts 1:13,14 KJV

13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brethren.

Acts 2:1-4 KJV

1 and when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with The Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as The Spirit gave them utterance.

Please read and understand:

This was a twofold event.

#1 The infilling of God The Holy Spirit, into the lives of believers.

#2 The empowering of believers with the power of God The Holy Spirit.

#1

I Corinthians 12:13 KJV (The Apostle Paul)

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews, or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

All Christians are baptized into The Spirit Of God!, How do we know that, The Word, says so!

#2

Luke 24:49 KJV (The Lord Jesus Christ)

And, behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

Question:

Are all Christians baptized in The Spirit, today?

Answer:

Yes, The Bible say so, I Corinthians 12:13 KJV!

Question:

Are all Christians endued with power of The Holy Spirit?

Answer:

No. The disciples had waited upon the coming of God The Holy Spirit for 10 days, in prayer, and all supplications. They were empowered by The Holy Spirit.

People who turn to The Lord, repent of their sins and are baptized, are children of God, baptized into The Lord's body, by The Holy Spirit.

But being endued with power from The Holy Spirit requires some things.

1. The desire (spiritual seeking) to be endued with The Spirit's power, the use of which is for the help, healing and liberating of others.
2. Waiting upon Him, in prayer and supplication, in the spirit of holiness.
3. To do without fear, the will and work (Great Commission- Mark 16:15-18) of God.

All Christians are baptized into The Holy Spirit, yes, but not all, take time to seek after the enduement of power, of The Holy Spirit.

I Corinthians 12:29-31 NLT

29 Is everyone an apostle? Of course not. Is everyone a prophet? No. Are all teachers? Does everyone have the power to do miracles?

30 Does everyone have the gift of healing? Of course not. Does God give all of us the ability to speak in unknown languages? Can everyone interpret unknown languages? No!

And yet the infilling and mighty power, of The Holy Spirit, is available to all, yet today!

Acts 2:38,39 KJV

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive The Gift of The Holy Ghost.

39 for the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as The Lord our God shall call.

The Comforter Has Come

Oh, spread the tidings ’round, wherever man is found,

Wherever human hearts and human woes abound;

Let every Christian tongue proclaim the joyful sound:

The Comforter has come!

Refrain:

The Comforter has come, the Comforter has come!

The Holy Ghost from Heav’n, the Father’s promise giv’n;

Oh, spread the tidings ’round, wherever man is found—

The Comforter has come!

The long, long night is past, the morning breaks at last,

And hushed the dreadful wail and fury of the blast,

As o’er the golden hills the day advances fast!

The Comforter has come!

Lo, the great King of kings, with healing in His wings,

To every captive soul a full deliv’rance brings;

And through the vacant cells the song of triumph rings;

The Comforter has come!

O boundless love divine! How shall this tongue of mine

To wond’ring mortals tell the matchless grace divine—

That I, a child of hell, should in His image shine!

The Comforter has come!

Sing till the echoes fly above the vaulted sky,

And all the saints above to all below reply,

In strains of endless love, the song that ne’er will die:

The Comforter has come!
