"In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise." Ephesians 1:13

Jn. 14:26 He will teach you all things. Jn. 16:13 He will guide you into all truth. Jn. 16:14 He will take from the Father and disclose it to you. Jn. 15:26 He will bear witness of Jesus. Rom. 8:26 the Spirit intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 2 Tim 1:7 God has given us the Spirit of power, love and discipline. How do we get the Holy Spirit. Jn. 20:22 " He breathed on them and said to them, receive the Holy Spirit." Acts 1:4 Don't leave Jerusalem until you receive what the Father had promised. Acts 5:32 The Holy Spirit is given to those who obey God. Joel 2:28,29 God will pour out His Spirit on all Eph. 1:13 We are sealed in God with the Holy Spirit at salvation. What is the Baptism in the Holy Spirit? Acts 1:5,8 Baptism in the Holy Spirit gives you power to witness. Acts 2:1-4 Tongues of fire; filled with the Holy Spirit; spoke in tongues. Acts 9:17 Hands laid on Paul and he received the Holy Spirit and was healed. Acts 10:44f The Holy Spirit fell and baptized those who were listening. Acts 11:15,16 same Acts 18:14-17 the Baptism does not necessarily happen at salvation. Matt 7:7-11 God will not give us what would hurt us. The Holy Spirit baptism will enable us to more effective Christians. Isa. 37:32 The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this. Don't reject the baptism of the Holy Spirit because it is too intense. It is the zeal of God that allows us to be effective in God's kingdom. We need all that God has to offer to do the job that is set before us. How do we flow with the Holy Spirit? Acts 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us. Acts 15:8 And God who knows the hearts, bore witness to them. Jn. 4:24 God is spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth. Jn. 7:37,38 The way to get into the Spirit is to believe. To drink is to believe. Isa. 12:2,3 To put our trust in God is to drink. Prov. 14:27 The fear of the Lord is the fountain of life. Ps. 87:7 Worship of God allows the joy of the Lord to flow through us. Eph. 5:18 Be filled with the Spirit. Eph. 4:22-24 Lay aside the old self and be renewed in the spirit of your mind and put on the new self. 1 Cor. 14:15 I will pray with my mind and I will pray in the Spirit also. 2 Kings 3:13-15 Music sometimes allows the Spirit to move. Isa. 61:3 God has given us the mantle of praise instead of the spirit of fainting. Isa. 59:17 God wrapped Himself with zeal as a mantle. God dressed Himself with zeal and we are told to be dressed in readiness in Luke 12:35 and to keep our lamps alight. Zeal worship and relationship to God are all linked. If you worship God with zeal you will be effective in your efforts. This allows the Holy Spirit to work through you. This ties in with the Scripture that says if you seek Me you will find Me if you search for Me with your whole heart. (Jer. 29:13) Oil as a type of the Holy Spirit Matt. 25:4 the prudent virgins took oil for their lamps. Ps. 45:7 Because you have loved righteousness you have been anointed with the oil of gladness. Lev. 14:16,17 Ear - Have ears for God's work. Thumb - Have hands for God's work. Toe - Have a will to follow God's direction. Blood - The Holy Spirit activates the promise of the blood. 2 Kings 4:2 All they had was some oil, but that was all they needed. God can do all things. (Phil. 4:13) If we have the Holy Spirit we have all we need. Never say that we don't have enough if we have the Holy Spirit. Don't look down on things that you can use for the ministry but use them in the ministry. But if all you have is the Holy Spirit that is all you need. To say that the Holy Spirit is resourceful is an understatement. Keys to Walking in the Spirit.
