Get the Water and the Spirit Pt. 1

Acts 20:17-35

**Get the Water and the Spirit Pt. 1** is a straight warning from Acts 20: Paul called the elders together because the flock was bought with blood, and preachers don’t get to play games with blood-bought souls. The Holy Ghost must make the overseer—not money, not popularity, not a board, not old-time religion. Any man who holds back baptism in Jesus’ name, denies the Holy Ghost, or feeds people half-truths is walking in dangerous territory. God didn’t stutter: you must be born again. This study calls out deception, division, filthy lucre, and grievous wolves that don’t spare the flock. It presses pastors to examine themselves, preach all the counsel of God, support the weak, and finish their course clean from the blood of all men. And it presses every hearer too: don’t hide behind denominations, tradition, or what somebody told you. Get the water. Get the Spirit. Repent, believe, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, and receive the Holy Ghost—because this ain’t church talk, this is your soul.
