How does one receive the Baptism with the Holy Spirit? First off make sure you are born again, simply by asking Jesus to be Lord of your life. Then talk to the Lord about the issue, He will always honor His word. David in Ps 22 talks about how God is waiting for us to Praise Him. So I would start at that point of praise then when you know the timing is right talk to the Lord about being filled with His Spirit. This not a one time experience it is also a command to be filled with the Spirit daily. What will happen is you will have a deep compassion for the our Lord as well as the lost and a deep since of Gods Holiness. With a longing to serve others. It is not something to boast about nor show like a new car sticker price. But assist in fulfilling the great commission.
