In this sermon, Martin discusses an interesting and often overlooked account in the Gospels. Both Jesus and the disciples experienced the work of the Holy Spirit in a specific sequence, with a certain remarkable dynamic.

The Holy Spirit was first in Jesus and the disciples; then He was upon them, and then He worked through them.

Let yourself be drawn into a detailed journey through the Gospels that will help you understand the work of the Holy Spirit in your life.

Among other things, Martin talks about:

• why Jesus breathed on His disciples and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit!”;
• what the actual difference is between the Holy Spirit within us and upon us, and what the baptism of the Spirit means;
• the significance of the Transfiguration of Jesus in the Bible;
• why it is said that people are overshadowed by spirits and
• that the Lord has much more power and passion for us than we have received so far.

I baptize you with water for repentance; but the one who comes after me is more powerful than I am, and I am not worthy to carry his sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire
Matthew 3:11 (Statement by John the Baptist)

And when he (Jesus) was gathered together with them, he instructed them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the Father’s promise wait – which, he said, you have heard from me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit will be after these few days. … But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; "And you will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Acts 1:4–8
