If you have received Christ as Savior, you were baptized BY the Holy Spirit into God’s family forever. But since you believed, have you been baptized WITH the Holy Spirit—drenched, saturated, overflowing? Have you received that promise of the Father? If not, in whose power are you trying to live the Christian life? Ask for the gift. Wait for the baptism. And by any means necessary, receive the drenching of the Holy Spirit.

A Simple Prayer for Spirit-Drenching:

God, drench me with the Holy Spirit. Fill me to overflowing with your love. Saturate me with your presence. Cleanse me with your fire. Enable me with your power. Equip me with your gifts. Transform me into what you want me to be. Let my life continually spread the fragrance of you wherever I go. For your glory alone, I ask in faith and with gratitude in advance for the promise of drenching in the Holy Spirit.
