People would rather sit and cry instead of asking God for forgiveness. The Lord wants to change your life. We can’t always try to be ready, we must be ready. When you have a cup that is not filled, you are creating space for something else to fill it up. When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, there is no room for anything else.
ACTS 19:2 “Have ye received the Holy Ghost after ye believed?” It sounds crazy to ask this cause it’s like saying have you been a negro since you been black? The scripture is saying these are 2 different experiences. The verse continues to say: “And they said unto him, “We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.” If you don’t hear it, you can’t receive it. If you don’t know what God has for you, you won’t receive it. If someone told you that your Grandfather left you some money after he passed, you would go get it. But if nobody has ever told you that, it would just sit somewhere in a trust fund. Tell the Lord you want EVERYTHING that God has for you.
We must first Acknowledge that we are a sinner, Believe that Jesus is God’s only son and has chosen to die on the Cross for you and Commit yourself to a life of following Jesus and serving others.
