HE HOLY SPIRIT FELL UPON THE BELIEVERS AND THEY SPOKE IN TONGUES AND PROPHESIED

Acts 19, Paul traveled through Turkey and arrived in Ephesus, where he found several disciples. “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” he asked them.“No,” they replied, “we don’t know what you mean. What is the Holy Spirit?” “Then what beliefs did you acknowledge at your baptism?” he asked. And they replied, “What John the Baptist taught.” Then Paul pointed out to them that John’s baptism was to demonstrate a desire to turn from sin to God and that those receiving his baptism must then go on to believe in Jesus, the one John said would come later. As soon as they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then, when Paul laid his hands upon their heads, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in other languages and prophesied. The men involved were about twelve in number. Then Paul went to the synagogue and preached boldly each Sabbath day for three months, telling what he believed and why, and persuading many to believe in Jesus. But some rejected his message and publicly spoke against Christ, so he left, refusing to preach to them again. Pulling out the believers, he began a separate meeting at the lecture hall of Tyrannus and preached there daily. This went on for the next two years, so that everyone in the Turkish province of Asia Minor both Jews and Greeks heard the Lord’s message. And God gave Paul the power to do unusual miracles, so that even when his handkerchiefs or parts of his clothing were placed upon sick people, they were healed, and any demons within them came out. FRIENDS, ASK JESUS TO BAPTIZE YOU IN THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YOU WILL BE EMPOWERED AND RECEIVE YOUR PRAYER LANGUAGE. Acts 2:4 And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in languages they didn’t know, for the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.
