    Brother Heroyto (Junior) Martins - with Sister Ann Barros translating - shares a powerful message from (Matthew 4:1-11) about relying upon being full of the Holy Spirit to overcome the temptations of the Devil that come during the difficult times we all experience in the "deserts" of our lives.  As Brother Martins says, "You only win over the desert, in those fights, if you're full of the Holy Spirit."

    On the Day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the Early Church, God chose to manifest the presence of the Holy Spirit through two, unique symbols that were never repeated again - the sound of a strong wind and tongues of fire.  Together, these two symbols teach us some key insights about what we're to expect when the Holy Spirit moves in a church and in a community.

    Everything in the Christian life is about having faith in God - period.  Although everyone has different needs and situations that require faith, every Christian has the need to receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.  Jesus designed this particular need to be an universal "Exercise of Faith" for every Christian believer.

    "Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me" was King David's most intense prayer and greatest desire.  We sometimes focus so much on the power that the Holy Spirit gives, that we forget about the presence of the Holy Spirit.  He is a person.  He is God.  He is incredibly interested in helping us reach our maximum potential because He loves us!

    One of the keynote themes of the preaching of John the Baptist was that Jesus would baptize his church in the Holy Spirit.  The Church all around the world is expanding through the power of the presence of the Holy Spirit - except in the West.  Can it be that Western Churches have neglected the qualities that are needed to receive and respond to the Holy Spirit?

    Many think of the Holy Spirit as just a "force" or "power" that Christians can tap into.  The Holy Spirit is a person - God Himself, and in the Old Testament two prophets expressed God's plan for the Holy Spirit to made available to every Christian.  This wish and this word from these two prophets form the foundation of our understanding of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.  That God desires to immerse each Christian in Himself - and through His Presence, provide the power we need to represent Jesus Christ to the fullest.
