11 Ways To Receive The Holy Spirit As Per The Bible by Emusan(m): 9:10am On May 22, 2013
1. Get a Bible and begin to check into receiving the Holy Spirit as in the Bible.

2 Look up Acts 2 :38 which says, if you repent and get baptised, you will receive the Holy Spirit.

3 Repent. Repent is from the Greek word "metanoeo" which means literally: "change ones mind." Inpractical terms, it means to do an about face .

4. Get Baptised. Baptism is from the Greek word "baptizo" means to immerse or to submerge in water. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist in water for our example to follow. Find some water (ocean, lake, river, swimming pool or warm bathwater, etc. will do). Anyone can baptise you, if already a Spirit-filled believer.

5 Ask God to give you the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened... how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" (Luke 11:9,10 & 13b)

6 Ask, by praying to God. Using your voice to ask for the Holy Spirit. Be prepared to be transformed and speak in tongues by the power of the Holy Ghost, as the early disciples did. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Acts 2:4)

7 Expect God to keep working in your life. Many people have been healed of illnesses, addictions and other problems of all sorts at the time of receiving the Holy Spirit.

8 When you receive the Holy Spirit, you receive the love of God and the power of God (to help your life and to help others) Luke 24 :39; Acts 1:8; Romans 5:5 and many other things, and it's awesome.
9 Live a good Christian life . (Galatians 5:22-25 & Romans 12:9-21)

10 Use your new tongue (prayer language) to talk to God (in private) which will build you up and maintain the faith which you have just received: "For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries... He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself" (1 Corinthians14:2 & 4a)

11. Tell others how easy it was and how they can do it too. (Mark 16:15-20)
