You Need to Be Filled with the Holy Ghost

The transcription is a passionate sermon urging believers to seek a genuine baptism in the Holy Spirit. The speaker contends that many Christians experience personal struggles, demonic oppression, and a weak, inconsistent faith because they lack the Holy Spirit's true power. Merely attending church, having spiritual experiences, or performing religious acts is insufficient; these can represent a hollow "form of godliness" without authority. The speaker stresses that authentic filling by the Holy Spirit is evidenced by holiness, authority over sin and demonic forces (like depression, anxiety, and lust), and a mature, discerning life. He warns of coming spiritual attacks that worldly resources cannot overcome and urgently calls the congregation to prioritize being filled with the Holy Spirit above all earthly pursuits. True power, he asserts, comes only through the Holy Spirit, which grants believers authority in the name of Jesus Christ and transforms their character and choices.

I need it to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. Father, help us to preach this. One of the reasons why the house of God, including us, we're struggling in our personal lives. We have invited these spirits called depression and we've invited these spirits called anxiety and we've invited these demonic attacks. One of the things I hear about all the time is how the people of God are experiencing these demonic encounters at home in their dreams. The reason why we're seeing a lot of people come to the house of God and have euphoric experiences but never really moving into a realm or space of power. Hear me? This is why I see a lot of believers who are fickle if you will in their relationship with God. This is why we see a lot of people who are more enamored with the power of culture. This is why we're seeing a lot of people who are. I love Jesus Christ. I'm affiliated with Him but I want to keep my own and old lifestyle. One of the reasons why the church is accused of not being relevant. One of the reasons why we're starting to see many mighty men and women of God fall away because of sicknesses and disease and all types of internal conflict is because I don't believe that we have really been filled with the power of the Holy Ghost. Here's one of the reasons why we come to church and we have experiences with God but on Monday we do not have authority and we do not have a power over the kingdoms of darkness. Hear me very carefully that God has given us a paraclete. It is equivalent to a parachute that when I fall out of a plane, there's something there to catch me that if I have an emergency where I pass out at work, they're going to call the paramedics. Hear me very carefully. The wonderful thing about being saved, sanctified and feel the Holy Ghost is that I'm not in it alone, that I have authority, that I don't come in the name of Gabriel out in power when I pray that Gabriel does not have authority over demons. Gabriel does not have authority over fear. Gabriel does not have authority over death but the name of Jesus Christ has authority. Look at your neighbor and say you need authority. Second Timothy three and five. I want everybody to read this. I want everybody to get this. Don't move. Don't have a lot of distractions because I want to give you something and then I'll let you go. Look at your neighbor and say you need to be filled with the Holy Ghost. Hear me. In this culture, we have a lot of sound bikes and we have TikTok and we have Instagram and we have people who have their opinions about their interpretation of the scripture and we have people who have opinions about based upon their denomination or their religious affiliation, they have opinions about the power of the Holy Spirit and I want to show you where God has given us authority because of the Holy Spirit. Here's the condition of the culture. Timothy gives us this. Second Timothy three and five and it says this, having a form of golliness, having a form of golliness but denying the power thereof for such turn away, for of this sort are they which creep into houses and lead captive silly women, laden with sins, led away by by their divers lust, ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Always learning Google but never coming to the knowledge of the truth, having a form of golliness but denying the power thereof. God, I love you. That you can have a form of golliness. Did you know that being spiritual is a form but it is absent of power? That you can go and have a spiritual encounter in the trees or in the woods or by the pool and on vacation but it does not mean demons tremble at the thought and at the sound of Jesus that comes from your tone. Don't miss this. Don't miss this. That you can be religious. That you can be affiliated with encounter church but it does not mean that your life has power. It does not mean that when you pray demons hear you. See God can hear you but you may not have authority over the demonic realm. If you're going to survive, we have 77 days before the end of the year while you're getting your LLCs together and while you're getting your new year's resolutions together while you're planning to build businesses and empires while you're planning to get back in the gym. I need you to add to your plan. I need to be filled with the Holy Ghost because what's coming to America and what's coming to your house. Your fitness will not have authority over it. Your marriage will not have authority over it. I appreciate your posts and I appreciate your endeavors but there is something coming to your life and there is something coming to the church and there's something coming to America that no innovation will be able to have authority over it. There's an attack coming to your mind. There's an attack coming to your children's mind. There's an attack coming to your marriage. That sex will not be the cure for her. But look at your neighbor and say there is a cure. There is an answer and the answer is in the power of the Holy Ghost. Watch this. We have a few seconds here. Write this down. I must be hungry for the Holy Spirit. It must be something I desire. Watch this. I love this. Timothy says that there's a spirit that comes and it looks like God but it denies its power and the purpose of that spirit is to infiltrate weak women. That the objective of this source, the objective of this power here it is, it looks and it targets people who are absent of the power of the Holy Ghost. So what that means is they cannot discern if this is good or if it's gone. Pastor, make it make sense. Timothy calls these types of women silly, not absent of information but they're absent of maturity. That what it means to be a son and a daughter of Jesus Christ. That means maturity. That when you are a son and a daughter, that means the Holy Spirit comes to make you mature and that the spirit that is deceptive, it looks for weak people. It looks for weak women. It looks for women in the church. It looks for women in society to pollute. The spirit that Timothy is talking about is a spirit that says I believe in God is the spirit that Timothy is talking about is the spirit that goes into a house and it pulls on the affections of those who are lost, those who don't have discernment, those who don't have the wisdom of God and they cannot tell or discern or be able to see that this man, this source, this power, it is not sent by God. It is sent to distract me. It is sent to clip me off. It's sent to take me out of destiny. It's in the form of a God and that saying, oh, yeah, I go to church. And do you think that because he goes to church and he can quote John 3, 16, for God is so loved. My crib that he gave no, that God is trying to awaken this 21st century generation that it is time out for being wooed and seduced by witches on social media taking your money. It is time out for this generation. God, I love you. It's time out for this generation of women to stop wanting to get bags and get glory. It's time for this generation of women to not be having conversations about marriage, but having conversations about sitting at the feet of Jesus that if you are not careful, you will find your way having no concern, having no seat, having no pursuit of the power of glory of God, but you will be concerned about getting the house, getting your man back, you'll be concerned about going viral. And the problem with all of those things is that after you go viral, there is going to be an attack after you get your husband, your butt and your breast will not be able to save your marriage. Yeah, that after you have your child and after you post pictures with them, Jordan, Jonah, and after you go on vacation to the bar and after you go on the cruise, there is going to be something that comes knocking at your door, that's your breast and your butt. We'll not be able. Oh, yes, sir, your body don't have any type of it. It doesn't have any authority over the walls of the enemy, but if there will be 22 people in the room that I say, Lord, I want a man, but I want you more. Lord, I want a LLC, but I want you more. Lord, I want to get married, but I want you more. Lord, I want children, but I want you more. The Lord says, I am looking for a few people at encounter church. That would say, Lord, fill me with your Holy Spirit. Let me be very careful. One of the things, Elder V, that we have to go ahead and address God's people on, watch this, is that there is an evidence of being filled with the Holy Ghost. Oh, yeah, there is proof that you're filled with the Holy Ghost. Oh, yes, sir, I love this part that there is proof. Look at your neighbor and say, there is proof. Here it is, y'all, because I go to encounter, that's not proof enough, because I dress like I'm saved. That's not proof enough. Oh, yeah, y'all, and just because I speak in tongues, that's not proof enough. Oh, yeah, I hear you. I hear you speaking in your heavenly language that you copied from somebody else. Oh, yeah, I hear you speaking in your heavenly language. I hear you speaking in something that you've come to prayer service and you've caught the sound of Elder V's heavenly language that you've been on YouTube practicing. But the truth of the matter is, you can have proof that you have met God. It is not enough to lift up your hands and quote on 316. That at some point, you've got to go somewhere and have an encounter with God that you can trace back. I remember when I lifted my eyes and so fire in my bedroom. I remember when I was driving in the car and something lifted my car. And I saw angels from heaven calling my name. I remember when my body got hot as I kept saying the name of Jesus Christ. And the truth of the matter is that they evidence that you've been filled with the Holy Ghost. It's not that you come in here and you run and say, I'm not going to lose my mind. The evidence that you're filled with the Holy Ghost is that you don't lose your mind. Oh, no, sir. I'm sick of all these fearful people who claim to have the Holy Ghost. Did you know you can't have the Holy Spirit and say they God never bless you? It's not a no match up that you can't have the Holy Spirit and walk around fearing for your life. Oh, no, sir, you can't have the Holy Spirit and invite anxiety and depression. That's a cultural colloquial, but that's not the language of the heavens. The language of the heaven gives us this power. I'm giving you authority to tread over scorpions and say that. So if I have the power to slay a demon, sure, I have the power over depression, I have the power over lust. I have the power over anxiety. You ain't got no Holy Ghost because you still don't have authority over the anxiety attacks. Somebody needs to tell us this. Hear me. Let me help you. Let me address you on this. That when you have the Holy Spirit, you have no interest. Hear this. When there's the Holy Spirit that's filled in your life. Watch this LTV. I'm wondering why people speak in tongues, but don't have the confidence of the Lord. You know, Holy Ghost, feel. Oh, yeah. I know we had a good time earlier, but I came to do work. The truth of the matter is Pastor Lawson. I don't care what your mama said. Your old pastor said. I don't care what you read. I don't care what your grandma said. I don't care what a deacon said. That you cannot be filled with the Holy Ghost. In the same tongue, believe the words of your father that don't even know Jesus saying stuff like you will never be anything. No, sir, once you gave your life to the Lord and you invited the Holy Spirit. Come on, the Holy Spirit canceled the words of your daddy, canceled the words of your mama. So Pastor, what you mean? As soon as I get filled with the Holy Spirit, the rejection will try to hunt me down. I don't run from it. I turn and say, come on. Oh, I am the righteousness of God. And I don't care if you come in the form of my daddy. I'm the righteous that not have a new daddy and his name is Harper. His name is Jehovah Chyra. You have authority when you're filled with the Holy Ghost. I'm not done here. Hear me. Timothy says that you have a form of Godliness but denying the power thereof. Let me slow down here and tell you this. What happened? Here's how we know people were not filled because we still keep choosing bombs. No, no, no, no. Hear me. Oh, man, listen to me. I'm going to get an offering today. That's fine. I didn't come for money. Watch this. That that Holy Spirit when it's operative in your life, you can't stomach multiple penises in you. That when the Holy Spirit is in you, that there's something that takes over your soul that says that there is something God, I love you. Your flesh is okay with it. But as soon as the Holy Spirit came, it started to reject demonic lustful themes. It starts to cancel out. How is it that you can be filled with the Holy Spirit and in 12 months, sleep with 12 men? No, sir. That when I'm filled with Holy Ghost, something starts to rise up in me called holiness. That though I want to do it in my flesh, there's something called conviction. See, Holy Spirit, it don't let you settle with your lust for nasty attitude. Oh, no, sir, that when you have the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit does not compromise holiness. I'm going to ask you a question. Do you have the Holy Ghost enough to be able to choose and sense and discern that the man of God or the man that you are entertaining? He does not want God that he said he wants God to get in your pants. And as soon as he gets in your pants and you say, let's go to church. He'll say, I'm tired. I'm not done. Watch this. Holy Spirit, I mean, the real one. Here's what Timothy is talking about here. He's saying that there are silly women. I didn't say it. So don't get mad at me. The man says they're silly. He's not saying their absolute knowledge. He's saying they're not mature. They're not mature enough. Hear this, y'all. To discern God, thank you. To discern when these men come in enticing them out of their spirituality. All right. Y'all ready to do more work? Hear me. I know the answer for sanctifying a church. The woman is the answer. Once the women of God mature, lustful, egregious, wack, corny, insecure man can't run through the church. Let me just help you. God, I love you. Joe, check this one out. Don't ever be enticed because of a preacher. You don't know me just because I have this mic. Don't mean that I am a suitable enough to be your husband. You don't want this. Oh, yeah. You see the anointing. But when I go back there, I'm a man. And I can't guarantee. Stop calling me. Stop texting me. Don't inbox me. You don't want these problems. I'm not none of these cats here. Oh, yeah. I know you have an expectation that I am marriage material. I am not sure. And this is what we need in the house of God. Just because you see us on this stage does not mean we are holy. Just because you see us playing instruments. Just because you see us praying. It does not mean we've had an encounter with the Holy Ghost. Do you know what it is to be a real man? Do you know that God has to. I need the cross just like you. And until God, I love you. And we can't keep attracting these witchcraft like me and me and that don't want God. Me and that won't show drugs and your money and your car. We're going to keep attracting them until the women sanctify and say it is not enough for you to preach to me. I need to know if you know God. It is not enough for you to have a house. It is not enough for you to speak in tongues. Do you know God? Here's why. Because if I don't know God, I have nothing keeping me from cheating on my wife. I have nothing from God. I have nothing keeping me from sleeping around in my church. Look at the neighbors say he has to know God. I'm not done. I'm not done. Hear me. Hear me. What makes a man marriage material? It's not that he's a high value man. You a fool. Rest in peace, Kevin Samuels, but that is not God. I don't know where he is. But I'm here to correct it. This new phrase does not mean high value in the kingdom. You can make $52,000 and God will honor you with the crown of life because you feel where the holy goes. You ain't shout on that because you want you a back. But let me tell you what you're not going to be able to handle. You're going to marry that man and get you a back and he's going to give you a because he ain't got holy ghosts. What keeps you from putting your penis in every part of her is not that you love somebody. Do you know what me and need? Me and will not be faithful because you cook. We don't like that food anyway. Me and will not be faithful because you have on spandex. Me and will be faithful when the holy ghost tells us get up out of there. Come on, go home, buddy your wife, buddy your children, kill your face and pray. That's how a man is faithful. Hear me. When a man is filled with the holy spirit, he turns off porn. Oh, no. No, no, no. We almost done. Hear me. Let me tell you something. That's a tie. I started watching porn when I was 11 years old. Don't miss what I'm trying to tell you. I grew up around people who had nothing to do with God. How is it? Only the person, the personality of the holy ghost that when you trace it, you have the authority to face it. It's after I finish worshiping that when I get in my bed, I'm tempted to go back and entertain what the enemy introduced to me at 11. But here's why I always win. Not because I'm powerful, not because I'm special, but because once I want to, when I want to do it, pick up the phone. Holy spirit says remember who you are. Help me. You got to be filled. What's this? I'm curious. I'm curious. I'm curious. You want to know why people don't join churches? Because the Christians ain't changing. Number one, number two, people are not joining churches because the Christians don't confess. They just be porn addicts. These be drug addicts. And here's why we don't confess it because we know we still don't have authority over it. And the reason we don't have authority over it because we've been filled with church, but we haven't been filled with his power. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my, how many people have you sick hiding? Do you know what's going to birth revival in encounter? When everybody started walking around and say, yeah, I look good, but I ain't good. Oh, yes, sir, I need some people to say I still smoke weed, but I need the Holy spirit. I need some people to say I still curse, but I think God for the Holy Ghost. I need some people to say I did smoke some cocaine last week, but I think God for the Holy Ghost. I need some people to say I used to be a hole, but had it not been for the power of the Holy Ghost. Now, I'll be worse than what you saw me today. We need some real people in the room that says, I need the Holy Ghost. I'm not done. Him be very carefully. I want to test your Holy Spirit. How is it that you spoke in tongues? But that same Holy Spirit that gives you the ability to speak in tongues, so get in sit on you when you're about to sleep with that married woman. I got you. How is it? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Now we give you the license to preach this gospel. I'm asking you a question. Do you know you can quote the Bible and not be filled with the Holy Spirit. Hear me, y'all, without the Holy Spirit, the Bible is equivalent to the Goosebumps book. I said, I said, I said, without the Holy Spirit, you can read the Bible and get the same experience that you get when you read a Goosebumps novel. The Holy Spirit makes that word alive in you. I said, y'all, hear me, y'all, hear me. That's how I hear this. I said, Holy Spirit, I see on social media how people say, well, Christians are in which craft, too, because they believe in the Holy Spirit. Let's help. Go to Luke 10, 19. So I need a Holy Spirit, I need the Holy Spirit, I need the Holy Spirit in my life. The Holy Spirit gives us authority over demonic attacks. Man, watch this y'all, who's talking here? I have given you authority to trample over wood, snakes, and what else? Keep going. But nothing will harm you, all right. Say authority and power. When Jesus said, I'll give you the kings to the kingdom, he'll be very careful, he's talking about power and authority, power and authority. Here's what we're seeing here. Let's clear this up. Reach for a rattlesnake if you want to and see what happened. Try it if you want to. Who's going to die? That's not what Jesus was saying. He says, I'm going to, it's a metaphor, get this, he's not saying go in grab a scorpion, he's not saying go in grab a snake, he's saying that there are demons, there are demonic spirits that's in the earth and they are the equivalent to a serpent and a scorpion. Let's have some fun. As soon as you allow somebody to read your poem, you invite it the power of the scorpion in your life, the demon of the scorpion. As soon as you participate in witchcraft, magic sorcery, devination if you will, as soon as you allowed that lady or that man to do some cart readings on you, in the spirit, in the natural, it was cart reading, in the natural, it was a game, in the natural, you said at the table, in the natural, it was herbs and spices and potions and things, but in the spirit what you did not see was there was this animal and it wasn't the lamb and it wasn't the lion, it was a serpent, it was a scorpion, hit me very carefully and so what Jesus is saying is that I am going to give you power over those spirits that the Holy Spirit is power over the spirit of Satan, so any demon, any devil, any serpent, any scorpion, any type of demonic force in the earth, the people of God are not under it, but we are over it. So that's that's why that's why ever since you let somebody read your poem, your life been hellish, that's why you got you did those potions, but you end up getting sick a couple of weeks later. Oh no, don't worry about it. You came to the right place. It's time to do some work. Oh yeah, don't worry about it. Don't be scared. Don't be mad. And nothing gonna happen to you because the people of God, God is giving us authority and the authority that we have is the power of the Holy who in here needs some deliverance because once you invite it, once you set down with the potion, once you allowed it, spacing your life, you now are subject to it and it has to be broken by the power of the Holy Spirit. So Christians before we do work, when the real Holy Spirit is in you, the power of the Holy Ghost is in you. I hear everybody speaking in tongues around here, but your life don't look like the power of the Holy Ghost. Your speech don't look like the power of the Holy Ghost. All right, what's this? Let's talk real quickly. I'm going to give you some time to meditate on it because we got to break some things. I sense this in the room. I sense even Christians are going to come to this altar for some things to be broken, but I see at least 50 people saying I need the Holy Spirit. I want to be filled with the Holy Ghost. Hear me very carefully, and Acts 2, we see the birthing of the church. Get this y'all. The birthing of the church came. We call this what? Pentecost. The impeter feel with the Holy Spirit. Stats of them rulers and elders of the people. Keep going. If we are being called to the account for today, an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and asked how he was healed, keep going y'all. I'm going to show you this. I'm going to, I'm going to then know this. You and all the people of Israel, it is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom crucified, but whom God raised from the dead that this man stands before you healed. Now, I'll give you this and I'm going to let you go here. I don't have time to read the entire text, but here's what's happening. Peter changed their here and they're about to be accused. They're about to be crucified for all in prison because they healed laying man on the way to the temple a gate called what? Beautiful. So here this y'all. Don't miss this. That now, all of the Sanhedrin's, all of the officials in that day are saying, hey, let's crucify these cats. Let's imprison them. They are, they are, they are saying, I tell you what, we'll let y'all go. We'll let y'all continue to do miracles, but you can't do it in the name of Jesus. So it's either be in prison or compromise your belief. But the Bible says, Peter filled with the Holy Spirit. So they got together and said, is this God? Hear this y'all. I want you to keep reading this. The Bible says, watch this, that all of a sudden, all of the ones who were accusing them, they were filled with the Holy Spirit. Watch this y'all. Watch this. I'll leave you with this one. We always talk about the evidence of speaking in tongues, is evidence that you feel with the Holy Spirit. But we never talk about this. The evidence that you feel with the Holy Spirit is your boldness to come against carnal, demonic systems. Hear this y'all. How do you feel? How do you feel when pastors start preaching against gender, sexuality, moving in with your boyfriend and girlfriend before marriage. Holiness and righteousness, sanctification. Hear me y'all. Do y'all know that 90% of the room you're scared to talk about those issues because you don't want to be counseled. But Peter says, hey, I'm cool with being counseled. But watch this. What I'm noticing in the text is that Peter is so confident in God that those who were accusing him became filled with the Holy Spirit too. Let me ask you a question. Why don't we know that you saved sanctified full of the Holy Spirit by way of your Facebook status? Hear me y'all. Can I be honest with y'all? Can I say something to y'all? I want to just say this to everybody. It's hard being a pastor when I have to go on my timeline and see my church members breast. It's hard being a man of God. When I don't know, if it's hard being a man of God, when I got to get on social media, stop following me because because you are distraction. And it's time to start calling people out to hear me very carefully. We got to stop sending penis pictures in DM. So we got to stop. Oh, yeah. Come come here. We got to stop. We got to stop turning around to show our bottom. So every time we post, let me talk to y'all. You ain't selling fitness. You selling butter. Do you know you can show your muscles without making me have an erection? Oh, no, sir. It's time for the people of God to come out of this wickedness, this wicked thinking. Let me tell you how I know you ain't feel because the Holy Spirit has the ability to say, don't post that. Don't say that. Don't show that. Don't do that. Don't go over there. Don't agree with that. Don't share that. Don't comment under that. But yeah, still. We are just like the world, the evidence that you feel with the Holy Spirit should show up on your social media. Hey y'all. Get this y'all at some point. Am I doing all right, Dr. J? At some point. Can I ask you a question? Why do you, why do you share cussing memes? Why are you in this room? And you just ran and said, I'm not going to lose my mind because of Jesus, but you comment curse words. I ain't done. Holy Spirit will keep you out of the sex house. Oh, yes, sir. Come on, y'all. Listen to me. That we're in Atlanta. We are in Atlanta. Give me very careful. La Thonia. We coming for you. Tucker, we coming for you. Those sex houses right over there. La Thonia encounter is about to shut you down. But hear me, huh? We don't have the power to shut it down. If we in our flesh, want to go over there. No, sir. Come on. Why is your house a sex house? Why you keep bringing them in and bringing them out, bringing them in, bringing them sanctify yourself. Cover yourself up. You can still look stylish without showing your butt and your breast. You don't have to show no pictures. You don't have to touch up. You don't have to smoke weed. You don't have to snort. You can be delivered if you get the Holy Ghost. Tiffany, Shanese, Chris, Mallory, Jill, hear me. As you know, the Holy Ghost will sanctify you in such a way that you are disgusted with culture. I'm done, y'all. We got to go. But I want to give you an invitation. Hear me, y'all. Can I say this to you? I have never met so many Christians still walking up after years of being safe saying they have anxiety problems. I'm not done. Anybody can leave. I got to do this work. Why is this, y'all? We're about to do some deliverance. Me and Pastor, your care, we're talking. And one of the things I said, we were talking about Halloween and ABC&D. Do you all know that Halloween and the demons, I heard somebody, I heard somebody say this on social media that and it was true. But I said, I'm not going to get into that. They are Christians. It's time to mobilize and pray. Halloween is the day that the witches come and eat babies and steal babies. Though that's true, why are we afraid of the demonic when we have authority and power over it? I don't care who next door to you that got a a jack-a-lantern or a Halloween cake or whatever it is. Do you know that nothing will, come on, Psalms, it's not new one. Come on, nothing comes in my address. Where I live, I have authority over it. Come on, y'all, it's time for people to hear it. If you Holy Spirit field and come for the offering, I came for deliverance. Holy Spirit, feel people. Don't put on costumes for Halloween. We don't go to Halloween parties. We don't put on no mask. We don't go to no celebration. We don't go trick of treating. We don't let our kids go trick of treating her. We don't know. So when your Holy Spirit field, the Holy Spirit is holy and it rejects everything that's on holy. I have never seen so many Christians and hear me. Watch this, y'all. Watch this. Listen to me. This is not so you cannot post it. I'm not telling you this so you can hide. I'm trying to challenge, is it really real in you? I'm trying to figure out this. If the, if the inception of Halloween, I'm talking about real Halloween. It's to kidnap babies, kill people, pray to which is the same which that gave you that potion to get more money. That same demon. If that's the inception of it, how is it that a Holy Spirit field person can say, hey, let's participate in a fine ritual that was birthed out of the demonic. Watch this.

He warns of coming spiritual attacks that worldly resources cannot overcome and urgently calls the congregation to prioritize being filled with the Holy Spirit above all earthly pursuits. True power, he asserts, comes only through the Holy Spirit, which grants believers authority in the name of Jesus Christ and transforms their character and choices.
