Translation from Spanish
[John 3:3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
[John 3:5-6] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
My beloved, says the Lord, many of you feel dry. You feel like you’re in darkness. You can’t experience certain spiritual things. When you hear others share their spiritual experiences, you think, “I don’t know what this person is talking about, because nothing like that has ever happened to me.”
Noelia: Many of you are thirsty to taste those waters, waters that only the Holy Spirit within us can give us to drink. And this passage comes to mind:
[John 7:38-39] He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
The Spirit is showing me now that some of you literally feel a deep thirst for spiritual things. You feel dry, and some of you have even dreamed that you were in a desert with no water to drink, or that you were thirsty but couldn’t find water to satisfy that thirst.
The Lord says that some of you feel blind. You want to reach out and touch spiritual things, but you just can’t. When people preach or talk about spiritual things, you feel like those things are very far away. You want to experience them, you want to touch them, but at the same time you feel like something is missing, like there’s an obstacle keeping you from experiencing them, like something is standing between you and those things.
The Lord says you’re feeling this way because there’s truly something missing in your life, and that something is being born again.
Only those who are born of the Spirit of God can experience spiritual things, says the Lord, and not only experience them through the revelation of the Spirit of God, but also understand by the Spirit what they’re experiencing.
Noelia: This passage comes to mind:
[1 Corinthians 2:12-14] Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
What is flesh experiences what belongs to the flesh, and what is spirit experiences what is spiritual. That’s why there are things you simply can’t access unless you receive the Holy Spirit within you, unless you’re baptized in the Holy Spirit, unless you’re born again of water and of the Spirit, says the Lord. The Lord is speaking to everyone who feels stuck, who feels like something is missing.
What you’re feeling or suspecting is true, says the Lord. What you’re missing is the immersion in the Holy Spirit. You need to go through that new birth. You need to be regenerated. You need to be baptized by the Spirit.
Noelia: The Lord is showing me that many of you have gone through water baptism, but you haven’t received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. You haven’t been regenerated through immersion in the Spirit of God, and the new birth hasn’t been completed.
[Acts 1:5] For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
So, says the Lord, believing alone is not enough to experience spiritual things, to experience the kingdom of God in a spiritual way, by the Spirit of God. Believing alone is not enough for you to see the kingdom of God, as John 3:3 says, or to enter the kingdom of God, as John 3:5 says. You must be baptized in water and you must receive the Holy Spirit, going through the immersion in the Holy Spirit.
To be born again, this process must be completed, says the Lord, and many of you feel like something is missing, because something truly is missing.
You haven’t completed this process and you haven’t been fully regenerated. You haven’t taken all the steps that one needs to take to enter the kingdom of heaven and to experience and understand spiritual things through the revelation given by the Holy Spirit.
Noelia: The Lord says some of you are like a lightbulb that’s off and hasn’t been switched on, because you haven’t received the light through baptism in the Holy Spirit of God. Others are literally dull in the Spirit because you haven’t been immersed in the Holy Spirit.
When someone is baptized in water, their body is completely submerged in water, from head to toe. But when the Lord Jesus baptizes in the Holy Spirit, He immerses us in the waters of the Spirit in the spiritual realms. The body is submerged in water, and the spirit is submerged in the Holy Spirit, in the waters of the Spirit. This is how the Holy Spirit is showing it to me now.
[Matthew 3:11] I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.
The decision to be baptized in water is ours, but it’s the Lord Jesus who decides when to baptize us in the Holy Spirit, when we’ll experience that immersion in the Holy Spirit. It’s the Lord Jesus who sends the Holy Spirit so we can be baptized in Him.
My beloved, says the Lord, many of you stopped halfway. Some of you just took the first step, which is believing in the Son of God, and that’s where you stayed, and you even go to church.
Noelia: Some of you only believe and confess that Jesus is the Son of God. You have the certainty in your hearts that Jesus died for us on the cross, rose again on the third day, and is seated at the right hand of the Father, but that’s where you stayed.
I now see a path, and the Lord shows me there are different steps a person has to take to finish that journey. Those who only believe stay at the first step and don’t move on to the other steps needed to enter the kingdom of God.
The Lord tells me that after believing, the next step is to repent and be converted with all your heart, to completely turn around, to change so fully that you don’t return to your past sins. I turn away from my sins to look at God. I stop turning my back on my Creator and turn around to look straight at Him.
That’s what it means to repent. It’s not just realizing that what you did was wrong and feeling remorse for those offenses against the Lord, but actually turning completely away from that sinful path you were on.
It’s a total turnaround, not a partial one, like when you’re going straight down a road and suddenly you grab your head and say, “What was I doing? This road is wrong. I have to change,” and you turn around completely, never to walk that road again.
This is what’s missing for those who have already believed but haven’t yet repented: heartfelt repentance, brokenness, sorrow over sin, remorse for what they’ve done. When someone truly repents with all their heart, they wish they could go back and undo what they did wrong, and it hurts.
[2 Corinthians 7:10] For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
This is what the Lord is talking about: a pain that leads to repentance, a wholehearted brokenness, a sorrow that drives you to ask God for forgiveness.
That’s the second step a person must take after believing, or even at the very moment they believe, because the Lord’s intention is for someone to turn to Jesus and be born again in that same moment, like when Jesus was baptized and the Holy Spirit came upon Him, even though Jesus had nothing to repent of, since He had never sinned.
Ideally, a person would believe, repent, and receive the Holy Spirit at the same time, and then go through water baptism to complete the process of being born again.
There are some who say they’re Christians and children of God, but they haven’t been born again and don’t have the Holy Spirit. That’s why they can’t see the kingdom of God or enter it or walk in the power of the Spirit of God, because the Spirit of God doesn’t live in their bodies. Their spirits haven’t been regenerated to walk in the Spirit, because they haven’t gone through the change they need to go through to be born again.
The Lord says the first step to being born again is to believe in the Son of God and confess Him, but just believing is not enough. Many people go to church and think that believing Jesus is the Son of God is enough, but the Bible says even the demons believe, and tremble.
[James 2:19] Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
To complete the process of being born again, several Scripture passages must be considered. To finish the process of being born again and being regenerated, one must fulfill all righteousness, as Jesus said to John. So, when a person completes the steps needed to be born again, they fulfill all righteousness. On the other hand, when someone doesn’t do this, they’re being unrighteous, God tells me, because they’re not fulfilling all righteousness.
If even the Lord Jesus Christ, being the Son of God, had to go through water baptism and receive the Holy Spirit, how much less would it be enough for us to simply believe in Him as the Son of God.
You can’t stay at the start of this journey, which is believing in Jesus and confessing Him as your Savior. You need to follow the steps Jesus Himself took out of obedience. You must repent in order to be ready to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
[Acts 2:38] Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The Lord says this because there are some who have believed but haven’t repented. That’s why they’re not worthy to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, because without repentance, Jesus doesn’t send the Holy Spirit to baptize them.
It doesn’t matter if someone gets baptized in water—without repentance, that baptism is just an empty symbol. Even if the person physically goes into the water, nothing has changed in the spirit. The body hasn’t been surrendered to belong to the Lord Jesus.
And not only that, but it’s actually an insult, because getting baptized without repenting is lying to the Lord, and this opens the door for God’s judgment to come upon their life for spitting on the cross of the Lord.
What I’m saying is strong, but this is what the Spirit is revealing to me right now so you can understand how important it is to take these acts seriously. They’re not a game to God, and when you do them, real things happen in the spirit.
You must believe in Jesus as Savior and also truly repent with all your heart, turning from idols to the Lord, stopping sin, renouncing all iniquity, and going through water baptism as a symbol that you’re surrendering your life to Jesus, no longer wanting to live as before.
Those who haven’t received the baptism of the Holy Spirit before will be able to receive it after going through water baptism. The Lord says that, whether before or after water baptism, it’s necessary to ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit is showing me that this is something many of you didn’t know or didn’t understand in this way. If you haven’t yet received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, you can ask for it, as the Bible says.
[Luke 11:13] If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
But to be ready to receive it, you must be repentant, not just believe. That’s why many of you haven’t received the baptism of the Holy Spirit: because you have believed, but you haven’t repented.
So, everyone who feels dry and thirsty to drink from the Holy Spirit, everyone who doesn’t feel those rivers of living water flowing within, everyone who can’t experience the kingdom of God, walk in the Spirit, or understand spiritual things, everyone who has fulfilled the necessary steps and has already been cleansed and prepared for the Lord, let them ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and the Lord will grant it if they’re truly repentant, if they’ve truly obeyed and fulfilled all righteousness.
Obedience is essential to be ready to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
[Acts 5:32] And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
Some have believed and repented, but have refused to be baptized in water. They haven’t believed in the importance of water baptism. They’ve underestimated it, put it off, and avoided it. The Lord expects you to obey and fulfill all righteousness, so He can then send the Holy Spirit to baptize you in the spirit.
The Lord says you must fulfill all righteousness. Search the Bible, because everything you need to do is written there, and decide with all your heart to obey and do it, so you can be found worthy to be regenerated by receiving the Holy Spirit.
If some of you feel it’s necessary to fast so the Lord will show you what the obstacle is, what the problem is, what you’re missing to be ready to receive that baptism, do it, without wasting any more time.
You must long to be born again, says the Lord. You must desire it with all your heart. You must ask for it. You must beg for it. You must cry out for the baptism of the precious Holy Spirit.
The time is short, says the Lord, and you need to be born again—not just to see the kingdom of God and enter it, not just to become a new creation in Christ Jesus, but also to find your identity, to know your purpose, to walk in the power that comes with the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and to move in the spiritual gifts that the Spirit gives once He lives in you.
[1 Peter 1:23] being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
The Lord says that many of you are bored. You know the Bible, you go to church services, you even gather with other brothers and sisters, but your lives don’t change, and you stay the same as before. The only difference is that you believed when you heard about Jesus.
Nothing is happening on a spiritual level in your lives. You hear others talk about spiritual things, but you don’t understand them, and sometimes you don’t even believe them, because since you can’t experience these things for yourself, you think others are making things up, exaggerating, lying, or just imagining things.
But only those who are born again can walk in new things, because they are a new creation, because they are literally a new person in Christ Jesus. Being born again is literal. It’s like being born a second time. There is a before and an after. You’re not the same after being born again.
The cross of Jesus marks a before and an after in the history of mankind, and all of us who live under the new covenant Jesus established, all of us who believe in Him and are born again have, as a gift of grace, the privilege and honor of being able to live in the Spirit as He did, walking in the power of God.
The Lord says you need to understand how important it is to be born again, and you need to react. Get up from the chair where you’ve been sitting for so long, feeling dry, dull, in darkness, feeling like something is missing, seeing that you can’t move forward, that there are limits you can’t cross.
Many of you read the Book of Acts and say, “How come I don’t experience anything that’s written here? I can’t speak in tongues, I don’t prophesy, I don’t have visions, I don’t perform miracles or healings, I can’t discern what I see others discerning. Why?”
It’s because you’re not born again. The Holy Spirit of God hasn’t baptized you, hasn’t filled you. The temple that is you hasn’t been filled with the cloud of power that is the Holy Spirit. The Bible says:
[Acts 1:8] But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Some of you go out to preach on the streets and talk to others about Jesus, and sometimes you talk about things you haven’t experienced, things you haven’t seen, things you haven’t touched, because the Holy Spirit doesn’t live inside you. You’ve read about spiritual things, but you haven’t lived them, because it’s the Holy Spirit who gives us the power of God.
Some of you can’t stop sinning because you haven’t experienced that extraordinary strength to resist temptation that only the Holy Spirit of God living in us can give, because someone who hasn’t been born again, who hasn’t been baptized by the Spirit of God, remains only carnal and not spiritual. Spiritual things aren’t more important than carnal things, because the Spirit of God isn’t leading you to walk in them.
Anyone who hasn’t been born again by the Spirit of God remains on an earthly level. They have a spirit, but that spirit hasn’t been regenerated. They have a body, but the body is not a temple filled with the cloud of the Holy Spirit and the power He gives.
So, they won’t walk on the spiritual level that those who are born again walk on. They’ll remain on an earthly level, on a carnal level, and their spirit won’t be able to rise above earthly and carnal things, because it’s not connected with the Holy Spirit, who is the one who lifts them up in spiritual things.
The Lord says there’s another level for those who aren’t born again, for those who don’t experience these spiritual things and can’t even understand them. They can’t understand them because only the Holy Spirit can interpret and reveal what happens on a spiritual level. Spiritual things are understood spiritually, and the Holy Spirit is the one who holds the key to unlock those hidden mysteries.
Today is the time to act, says the Lord. Today is the time to decide to fulfill the righteousness you haven’t fulfilled until now. Today is the time to change and not stay stuck where you are. This is the answer you asked Me for, says the Lord. This is what you’re missing.
Noelia: Many of you want to speak in tongues, to hear the Lord’s voice, and to receive revelation, but your eyes won’t be opened until you receive the power of the Holy Spirit living in you, because it’s the Holy Spirit who opens your eyes to receive revelation.
That’s why the Bible says in John 3:3 that anyone who hasn’t been born again can’t see the kingdom of God. Those who haven’t been born again have their spiritual eyes closed, even if now and then they might have a revelatory dream or receive a little drop.
If the Lord in His sovereignty wants to give some revelation to someone who hasn’t been born again, He can do it, just like He did with Nebuchadnezzar, who received dreams from God, or with other unbelievers mentioned in the Bible.
God can reveal Himself to whoever He wants, born again or not, but it’s never the same. You can’t compare a light bulb that’s off with one that’s on, the Lord tells me. You can’t compare someone whose spiritual eyes are closed with someone whose eyes are open.
There are things in the Bible you won’t understand until you receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, because the Bible is inspired by that same Spirit who gave the words to the men who wrote the books of the Bible. And if the Holy Spirit is the author of those words, you’ll only be able to understand and interpret them through the revelation He gives.
There is a before and an after, says the Lord. Knock on that door so it will be opened to you.
Noelia: Some of you need to persist. You’ve believed, you’ve repented, you’ve been baptized in water, and you’re living in holiness, but you haven’t persisted in receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit, and partly it’s because you haven’t really believed you can receive it. You haven’t believed that God wants to give it to you.
That’s a sin you need to repent of, because you make God a liar, when the Bible says the Lord will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.
You’ve taken the previous steps, but you don’t believe you’re worthy to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit living in you. You need to repent, because you’re putting a stumbling block between yourselves and the Lord, calling Him a liar indirectly.
So, when these lies come to your mind, you need to declare the verse that says, “How much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”
The Lord now shows me that the blockages have been removed in several of you as you understand what I’ve just said. Repent and ask the Lord for forgiveness, because it’s not that God has closed the door to keep you from being baptized in the Holy Spirit, but that you’ve closed the door by not believing you’re worthy to receive Him.
Repent of making Me a liar, says the Lord. Repent of believing you can decide who can receive Him and who can’t, because I am sovereign.
Noelia: Now I see that sometimes Jesus breathes in the spirit so a person can receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit through a spiritual wind, and the word “ruach” comes to mind, which in Hebrew means “wind” or “spirit.” It’s the Lord Jesus Himself who visits some so they can receive the Holy Spirit.
[John 20:22] And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.
The Lord still does today what this passage describes, but in the spiritual realm. He continues to baptize many in the Holy Spirit through His breath, even though you can’t see it.
Some people have received the Holy Spirit this way, and I’m one of them. When I received the Holy Spirit, I felt a strong, mighty wind come in through my mouth.
Have faith, says the Lord, because without faith it’s impossible to please Me, and unbelief can become a stumbling block that keeps you from completing the process of being born again. You have to believe that you can be born again, and that I want you to be born again. You have to believe that there is a Holy Spirit who wants to enter everyone who longs for Him and who cleanses their house to make room for Him.
You have to become a worthy dwelling and invite Him in, says the Lord. Call to Him and love Him, so He can come and live in you, because I have many things to give you and many gifts to grant you. I want to fill your hands with precious stones, but I’m waiting for you to fulfill the righteousness you still need to fulfill.
If I Myself was obedient to everything commanded of Me, says Jesus, how much more should you be, you who are My younger brothers? Do it, and don’t put off water baptism any longer. Truly repent and truly believe that I exist, so nothing stands in the way and I may visit you and breathe into your mouths so you may receive spiritual life and have a new beginning.
I am willing, says Jesus, but I demand holiness and obedience. I demand uprightness, in the sense of fulfilling the steps that are written to complete the process of being born again.
The old self is useless for fulfilling My divine purposes in your lives, says the Lord. You won’t be able to move forward if you stay the same as always. You have to leave the old self behind and become a new person, so I can give you a new name, which is only received when you are born again.
Little ones, says God, pray for those who haven’t been born again. I’m speaking to those who are Mine, those who can see the kingdom of God, those who are authorized to enter the kingdom of God. Intercede for those who haven’t yet completed this process.
Intercede so they realize the importance of genuine, deep, and total repentance. Intercede so those who haven’t taken the step of being baptized in water will do so, surrendering themselves to Me. Intercede so I may visit them and baptize in the Holy Spirit those who haven’t yet received this baptism.
Pray for them, says the Lord, because among those who claim to be the congregation of the saints, some are on fire and others are extinguished. Pray that the dark lamps will begin to shine. Pray that those still in darkness will receive the light. Pray that those who still belong to the world will come to belong to Me.
There is a before and an after, says the Lord, and you must intercede so that many more may be born again and truly encounter Me, because you can only truly and deeply know Me once your spiritual eyes have been opened through that new birth.
Noelia: Another thing that being born again makes possible is seeing the Lord as He is and receiving the revelation of who He is through the Holy Spirit, who comes from Him.
It’s through the Holy Spirit that it can truly be revealed to you who I am, says the Lord, and until you receive Him, you’ll hit a wall. You’ll run into a limit, a barrier, a closed door that can’t be opened to you, no matter how much you knock, kick, or cry out.
You have to be born again to truly see who I am, says the Lord. You have to be born again to truly understand spiritual things. You have to be born again to walk in the power you need to destroy the works of darkness, because the devil also has power.
You need the power that comes from the baptism of the Holy Spirit to tear down the works of the enemy, because spiritual power must be met with greater spiritual power. The only one who can fill you and give you the power you need to destroy the works of darkness is the Holy Spirit living inside you.
If you receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and complete the process of being born again, says the Lord, you will become a powerful and dangerous weapon. The enemy isn’t afraid of someone who hasn’t been born again, but the one who has been born again becomes a threat to his kingdom.
The devil knows that if that person remains in Me, walks in holiness, and stays filled with that power and its manifestation, nothing will be able to stop them. Understand the importance of this, says the Lord.
Noelia: The Spirit keeps repeating that there is a before and an after. When you are born again, the old person is truly left behind, and everything changes for the better and aligns with God’s purposes for your life. You’ll be able to look at yourself in the mirror and understand who you are in God, and you’ll finally feel fulfilled when that precious cloud moves within you.
[2 Corinthians 5:17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Now I see someone prophesying. It’s the same Holy Spirit speaking through this person.
This means that many of you long to prophesy, to hear God’s voice and speak words from heaven, to speak on God’s behalf, in God’s name. But you won’t be able to experience this until you are born again, because it’s the Holy Spirit who gives spiritual gifts and shows God’s power through those gifts.
God wants to bring renewal to your life. God wants you to be able to breathe in a menthol aroma. God wants to refresh you. God wants to give you a new beginning. God wants to take you to unimaginable places, symbolically speaking. God wants to reveal things to you that eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man. God wants to give you keys to unlock heavenly mysteries. God wants to give you more revelation and understanding of the Scriptures.
God wants you to be one of them—this is what I hear—one of those who dwell in His presence, one of those who have access to God’s heavenly temple, in the Holy of Holies. God wants the door to be opened for you to enter His Kingdom.
God wants you to see what you can’t see now and to experience the spiritual at a higher level. God wants you to no longer be bored, tired, or on the verge of giving up the faith of Jesus Christ. God wants you to break out of your routine and out of spiritual dryness. God wants to quench your thirst. God wants you to feel alive, no longer dead or extinguished.
But there’s a step you need to take, and each of you knows exactly which step you’re missing.
Remember that Jesus began His ministry only after He allowed Himself to be baptized in water and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and after He went to fast for 40 days in the desert and returned full of the Holy Spirit. His ministry began after being tested in the desert, but Jesus was already filled with the power of the Holy Spirit to resist those temptations.
[Luke 4:14] And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
That’s why I haven’t called you yet, says the Lord. That’s why there still isn’t a ministry prepared for you, because to fulfill a ministry, you need to be filled with the Spirit of God. You need to be born again, to be changed, to have surrendered in order to be baptized.
Noelia: Some of you have been asking for a ministry, telling the Lord to call you and use you, saying, “Here I am,” but you’re not even citizens of the kingdom of heaven yet. You don’t have the card to enter, the Lord tells me. You’re not authorized to work there, because you don’t belong to that company yet.
First, you have to go through water baptism and receive the Holy Spirit. You need to be born again so the door of that company will open to you and you’ll be given a heavenly office to work there. The Lord tells me that you need to do the paperwork to become citizens of the kingdom of heaven.
Many of you haven’t understood this, but through this prophetic word, you will understand.
Fulfill the righteousness you need to fulfill, says the Lord, and I will fulfill the righteousness I need to fulfill.
Noelia: The Lord shows me that some of you pray, but since you haven’t been born again, your prayers only go so far. You always pray the same thing, because you don’t have the Holy Spirit living inside you to inspire you and show you how to pray. You lack the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God.
So many things can change when someone is truly born again. Be aware of this, says the Lord. Anyone who doesn’t know or understand what’s keeping them from receiving the Holy Spirit and being born again, even if they’ve already taken the previous steps, should go into the secret place and cry out for Me to reveal it to them.
Noelia: God even gives dreams where He shows you what the problem is, why you still haven’t become citizens of the kingdom of heaven.
Many of you don’t know what the problem is, even though you’ve done what the Bible says needs to be done, or you think you have. But there are things you’re unaware of, and God can reveal them to you through a dream, a prophetic word, a vision, or a message through a brother, so you can address that problem and be ready to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Now I want to pray for the Lord to baptize each one of you in the Holy Spirit. And this passage comes to mind:
[Acts 19:1-6] And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, he said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Just as Paul intervened so they would receive the Holy Spirit, I pray that Your disciples may receive the Holy Spirit right now, Lord. Lord, baptize in the Holy Spirit everyone who has faith and has repented of their sins.
Remember, the Holy Spirit can be received before or after water baptism, says the Lord. Cornelius and his household are an example of those who received the Holy Spirit before being baptized in water.
Noelia: Lord Jesus, right now baptize with the Holy Spirit everyone who is still missing this step. Fill these vessels with the water of the Spirit, Lord. Fill these temples with the wind of Your Spirit, so there is a before and an after, Lord, so the process of becoming citizens of the kingdom of heaven is completed, so they may see the kingdom of heaven and enter it.
Lord, I ask You to anoint with the Holy Spirit everyone You’ve prepared to be anointed through this prayer and to do Your work, whatever it may be. Anoint them, Lord, so they may be true Christians.
When someone receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit, they not only receive the Holy Spirit to live in their temple, but also receive an initial anointing, by which they become an anointed one of God, just like Christ Jesus, which means “Jesus the Anointed One.”
Noelia: I see several of you now receiving the Holy Spirit and an anointing along with that baptism. You are receiving the immersion in the Holy Spirit and also an oil in the spirit, flowing from your head to your feet. You are becoming true Christians, not just believers.
Amen. Thank You, Lord.
