Baptized in the Spirit: God's Presence Resting Upon You with Power

As soon as I got this book, I read it for 2 days straight. Before I ordered it, I read the reviews because I was desperate to find good books that will reveal to me the how-to for The Holy Spirit. I'm a single mom who doesn't yet have a car and I watch ministry on Youtube since I can't make it to church. I've never met Randy Clark or any of these amazing people with strong inspiring relationships with God. I was hoping this wasn't gonna be another book that would lead me on and at the last 2 pages suddenly give me a little hope. I got my wish! Through the first half of the book, I kept thinking I was in school, Randy was at the front of the classroom showing youtube videos and taking me on a journey through time and different places to meet people, and after this and this chapter I would graduate and get my hard earned diploma. It felt real. Then through the second half of the book, I learned ALL KINDS of unexpected things about Holy Spirit. I was WAY off with my expectations before reading this book. Then when Randy prays his prayer of impartation over you in the book, YOU WILL feel a sense of "WOW what just happened?!" YOU DO feel equipped with the full knowledge of Holy Spirit AND you'll feel how real He Is. My eyes are opened. This book wasn't those types of books where the author boasts of their wonderful skill throughout the entire book without sharing with the reader how to receive these things and at the very end says good luck and you immediately decide that book is going straight to Goodwill. No, this is one of those permanent-spot-on-the-shelf books that you'll either want to read over and over or keep at your bedside to search and memorize phrases from it. It was worth more than the money I spent yet the affordability was appreciative as I ordered a big bundle of books equalling to nearly $200. BTW, today is the day after I finished reading it and a teacher I work with (out-of-nowhere) gave me a prophetic Word. That's never happened to me. I wasn't brought up to believe in these things. This book is no joke. If you're searching to know The Holy Spirit, you're about to find out. This book WILL change your life.

This is a short and easy to read sermon preached by Randy Clark on the need for the baptism in the Holy Spirit. It essentially urges believers to seek God for this experience.Overall, not a bad read. It moves very quickly. Clark is passionate for you to ask God to fill you with His Spirit.I have two complaints about the book. First, it needs more Scripture. Experiences will not keep us. God's Word is our true source for truth. Second, AW Tozer is said to be Dutch Reformed but he actually was Christian & Missionary Alliance (CMA).

High recommended! This is a refreshing book! Delves deeply with the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Randy Clark supplies us who read this wonderful book not only with support from the Word of God, but also from his experiences. I have tried to read all I can regarding the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and this book stands out among all the other books! This book describes a balanced view of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. It also is very PRACTICAL. It tells us:1- Both the Pentacostal and Traditional views of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, as well as the Protestant and the Catholic perspectives!2-Practical instructions of how to RECEIVE the Holy Spirit.3-The Benefits and How to receive the wholeness of God. This book is not only a good teaching with a balanced view from all perspectives, but what I enjoyed is how practical it is in How to be filled with the Holy Spirit, How to be in His Presence and being Led by the Spirit, the Holiness and Purity and Power of the Holy Spirit we can all experience and enjoy as Children of God! Not only that, we are commended to do it !.

I like the theme of the book--The baptism of the Holy Spirit and the presence of God restingupon you.I also like the testimonies.The author does intensive research evident in the bibliography of more than ten pages.The research information is good, but the presentation of the information is CHAOTIC.The author focuses on many different topics: The baptism of the Holy Spirit; the history of the baptism of theHoly Spirit; the Early Church perspective; the Roman Catholic Church perspective; the Protestant Church perspective;the Pentecostal Church perspective; the Charismatic Church perspective; the Great Awakenings or Revivals;testimonies, etc.The author loses focus of the central theme and presents an academic research, in the brain-storming stage.It defeats the purpose for writing the book and effectiveness.

This really brings me to the place and the point at which everything began, and from which they all proceed: I've had my fill of content, looking for The solution here and there, only to end up in more disappointment and despair. Yet, these surely brought me to the place where He could finally meet me, not according to my thirst which though great was still too weak compared to all He had for me, but according to the greatness of His person: Everything about Him is great. Now, I want nothing less than the fullness of Him. I have pre-ordered my copy!!!

I normally don't write reviews and I read a ton of Christian books. This book is by far the best I have ever read on this subject! Every pastor should read it and every believer. It gives not just on viewpoint of the baptism , but presents various doctrinal beliefs and is done with excellence! Highly recommend! It allows the reader to gain a more prescribe understanding of varying views and encourages them to really go to the Lord and seek Biblical understanding as to how she moves and why.

I love the way Randy writes. He is a down to earth man with in depth knowledge about the matters of the Holy Spirit. He describes the experience of the Holy Spirit from a variety of denominational backgrounds as well as biblical and historical. The book gives a great overview of what the Baptism in the Spirit means.Highly recommended!

This book is, and has been, instrumental to both my faith and my walk with God. I was taught in Bible college that there is no such thing as a baptism of power and that the Holy Spirit only comes to us once. Then I was baptized in power and my life changed dramatically with godly fruit to demonstrate it was Him. This book has allowed me to understand my experience through sound theology and truly walk in the power of a transformed mind that marries what has been transformed in my spirit, soul and body. I thank God for all of Randy's teaching and highly encourage everyone to read this book and be who you have been designed to be!

Randy "brought it to the table" as usual.

Cet extrait est très inspirant mais je suis déçu car j'ai un problème pour acheter le livre complet.J'habite au Canada

Great explanation without theological bias. Recommended reading for all who truly believe there is more than what they are presently experiencing.

Love it
