Detailed written and scripture based.

I chose this book because I wanted to know more about how to help people to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost using scripture. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to be used by God applying the Word of God in a simple way using faith as your guide in the Holy Spirit.

Stick with the New Testament

Many have been leery of the Holy Spirit and fearful of the baptism of the Holy Spirit/speaking with other tongues. Yet, there is biblically no need for this! The Holy Spirit is a member of the triune-Godhead, and His ministry since the Day of Pentecost is advantageous in every way to a believer's walk in Christ. In this book, brother Having clarifies two big misconceptions: 1. That once saved a person has all the Holy Spirit they're going to have. 2. That to receive the Holy Spirit one must always tarry for Him. He does this by taking the reader through scripture in Acts, "letting Scripture be the road map" for what is true and normal (a sound Christian practice for any doctrine). Finally, brother Hagin gives seven practical pieces of advice for anyone trying to help a believer receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit/speak with tongues. The Holy Spirit baptism is still needed today and we need not struggle with it, or resist it because "God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but power, and of love, and a sound mind" (KJV 2 Timothy 1:7). So, read this book, believe the Word, and just receive!!!!

A Must Read for Every Christian

This is one of the most practical books on the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I would suggest that folks pay most attention to the 7 simple steps Brother Hagin is giving in the last chapter. I highly recommend every Christian to get a copy and share this knowledge with others so they too can get blessed!

Amazing teaching!

“It is up to mankind to receive what God offers. Eternal life is a gift. Healing is a gift. The Holy Spirit is a gift.”

“Wherever the Word is preached, the Spirit moves to confirm the Word.”

“After Acts 2, you never read in the Acts of the Apostles where anybody was ever instructed to wait, nor do you see anybody waiting to be filled with the Spirit. From the day of Pentecost on, everyone, every time, was filled with the Holy
Spirit immediately. The early Church emphasized that individuals could receive immediately.”

“God already has done all He is ever going to do about providing the plan of salvation: He sent Jesus. Now it is up to us to receive Jesus.”

“God already has done all He is ever going to do about providing healing for us: God laid our sicknesses and diseases on Jesus, and Jesus bore them. In the mind of God we are already healed! It is up to us to receive healing. Healing belongs to us.”

“Why not do what the Bible says to do? Why not instruct people according to the Word of God?”

God is God The Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Helper that Jesus left behind for us after He was crucified and rose to the death. Many Christians today including myself do not know the Holy Spirit. This book helped me to understand how to receive the Holy Spirit, it is short, sweet and to the point. The Same power that conquered the grave lives in me.🙏😭💓

Wonderful and to the Point

One of my greatest impact, when he said, before you lay hands them, quote:

Acts 19:6 to them: ‘And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues.’ ”

I’m going on to the book on Why Tongues.

Kenneth Habib

My friend was his student. What I learned about him and his teachings, from my friend and from his other students like Kevin Zadai, is how to live with God's spirit in one's own self and manifest a spiritual life full of blessings.

This book is explicit on how to receive the Holy Spirit (ability to speak in tongues).It clears up the myths and traditions that surrounds "begging" as opposed to receiving the Holy Spirit from a biblical standpoint.
