DEEP WITHIN US ALL IS A DESIRE FOR MORE.Are you hungry for more, do you believe the best is yet to come, thatyou can draw so much closer to the Lord than where you are atpresent? I know I’m hungry, so hungry for much more. I know theeis a deep, deep place of intimacy beyond which I have experienced todate. I want more, Holy Spirit take me deeper, reveal more and moreto me and draw me closer to Jesus.Acts 8:14-1714 Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria hadreceived the word of God, they sent them Peter and John,15 who came down and prayed for them, that they might receive theHoly Spirit.16 For He had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply beenbaptized in the name of Jesus.17 Then they began laying hands on them and they were receivingthe Holy Spirit.(NAS)Acts 9:17-1817 And Ananias departed and entered the house, and after laying hishands on him said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared toyou on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that youmay regain your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit."18 And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales,and he regained his sight, and he arose and was baptized;(NAS)Acts 19:1-61 And it came about that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul havingpassed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found somedisciples,2 and he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when youbelieved?" And they said to him, "No, we have not even heardwhether there is a Holy Spirit."3 And he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" And they said,
 
"Into John's baptism."4 And Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance,telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is,in Jesus."5 And when they heard this, they were baptized in the name of theLord Jesus.6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit cameon them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.(NAS)Acts 10:42-4842 "And He ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly totestify that this is the One who has been appointed by God as Judgeof the living and the dead.43 "Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His nameeveryone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins."44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fellupon all those who were listening to the message.45 And all the circumcised believers who had come with Peter wereamazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out uponthe Gentiles also.46 For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exaltingGod. Then Peter answered,47 "Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized whohave received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?"48 And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.(NAS)John 7:38-3938 "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From hisinnermost being shall flow rivers of living water.'"39 But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Himwere to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasnot yet glorified.(NAS)Ezek 47:99 Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. Therewill be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and
