SUMMARY: The speaker changes the topic of the sermon to a case study in the Old Testament of Saul, who was baptized by the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes that the Holy Spirit has always been present in the lives of God's people and that the difference in the New Testament is that now every believer has access to the Holy Spirit. The effects of the anointing of the Holy Spirit include power, access to the supernatural, transformations, and effectiveness in serving God. Saul's encounter with the Holy Spirit is described in 1 Samuel 10, where Samuel anoints Saul with oil on his head, symbolizing a saturation and immersion in the Holy Spirit. The speaker encourages believers to seek a frontal encounter with the power of the Holy Spirit and not be content with just a pleasant experience.
In this passage, the author discusses the importance of seeking the Holy Spirit and receiving the anointing. They use the example of Saul being anointed by Samuel as the first king of Israel, despite his flaws and shortcomings. The author encourages readers to not be intimidated or discouraged by their own shortcomings, as God loves to use ordinary people to do great things in the Kingdom of God. They also discuss the controversy surrounding when the Holy Spirit is received and whether tongues are evidence of baptism, and urge readers to focus on living in the fullness and experience of the Holy Spirit in their lives. The author shares their own personal experience of receiving the Holy Spirit and emphasizes the importance of believing and receiving without hesitation.
The speaker shares his personal experience with the Holy Spirit and emphasizes the importance of seeking the filling of the Holy Spirit in one's life. He also highlights the significance of associating with communities and individuals who have experiences with the Holy Spirit and the importance of worship and praise in the presence of the Holy Spirit. He explains how Samuel prophesies about Saul's encounters with anointed people in symbolic places charged with the energy and meaning of the visitations of the power of the Holy Spirit. The speaker encourages listeners to live in places and environments where the presence of the Holy Spirit is felt and to seek out anointed individuals and communities for impartation of the anointing.
In this sermon, the speaker discusses the story of Saul in the Bible and the moment when the Holy Spirit fills him and he prophesies. The speaker emphasizes that prophesying is not just about predicting the future, but also about worshiping and praising the Lord. He also talks about the democratization of the Holy Spirit and how it allows for laypeople to be just as anointed as ordained pastors. The speaker encourages listeners to do whatever comes to their hand with the power of the Holy Spirit, and to cultivate their character and the fruit of the Holy Spirit as well.
As a soldier, we need to be armored for 360 degrees of our lives, not just focused on the front. Many Pentecostals lack the defensive area and are vulnerable to the devil's attacks. We need to have the fullness of character, biblical knowledge, humility, love for others, sincerity, and transparency, in addition to the anointing and filling of the Holy Spirit.

We talked about the complexity of the subject of the gifts of the spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit and we have been working, as you know, these Sundays on all that subject. I was thinking of continuing with the same topic but even though I worked on it this morning in the service in English, but I have felt the Lord, I have been debating myself with another text that I think is more appropriate for us, for the Latino, Hispanic congregation because I feel that there are many here who already have more understanding about this dimension and many of the things that I have been working on I can deal with you in a different way.
But I want to go to a passage that illustrates in a very eloquent and very specific way what the baptism of the Holy Spirit is, the typical effects of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And that towards which we should aspire when we are looking for that filling of the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. What I want you to do with me is to do a case study, as they say in English, a case study that illustrates many of these principles that we have been expounding in recent weeks.
