What is "The Big Bang" that Happens in You? part 1

Tip! God’s people do not have authorization to demand the Savior’s promise of, “...Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do,” in order to gain something very special for themselves.

Baptism of the Holy Spirit is the divine explosion or "the big bang" that happens within the innermost part of a person that brings to the surface all things good and evil.

If you don't find an interior revolution or rebellion that has affected the external or the way you live, then I must question your experience of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

1. The Holy Spirit is always the dynamic, the power for any of the things God will do. It was the Holy Spirit working in the Old Testament in every sign and miracle. God is the initiative; Jesus executes the will; the Holy Spirit accomplishes the work.

2. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is the activity by which the spiritual Body of Christ can be formed, and the emphasis of God today, at this time in the dispensation of grace. It is that of getting His Body, the children of God ready, shaped up, filled with life, vision, hope, so that He can take us home. That is His great program! Isn't it time that people got acquainted with the objective for which this marvelous, unheard of outpouring was sent!

God's first thought is not what we can do, but what we can become.

Works are subservient or secondary to what we are to become.

Jesus said He would call us out; He would train us; give us discipline; He would give us all that was needed in the way of separation, and light, and illumination, and, most of all, the terrible training which was necessary to conform us into the image and likeness of Himself—the Bridegroom, because we would be the Bride.

The Bride (we who are born again) must have some features that are similar to the Bridegroom. The Holy Spirit will begin to restore, reshape, re-pattern, and redesign in us—in this Body with the features that are becoming here, so that some day we may be taken out of this earth, and united with Him, and projected into the things of the eternal ages.

For in Ephesians it says that through the Church, He will show His glory and grace in ages to come. This is the instrument. So He says, "Ye shall be unto Me My witness in the world." The power of the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and immerse you into what He is, and Who He is, and YOU will BECOME identified with Him.
