What is it to be baptized in the Holy Spirit? From your baptism, God is with you. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are inyoiu. But that is not enough, for it is necessary that this God, that is in you, comes to the surface. As Jesus says,” from your interior will run rivers of living water.” (Jn 7:38b)
From the baptism of the Holy Spirit, all begins to change! “Send your spirit, they are created, and thus you renew the face of the Earth.” (Ps 104:30 CNBB from Portuguese)
This renewal of the face of the earth begins our renewal day after day. This renewal is charismatic, therefore, it is made with the most powerful arms of God: The charisms, the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is only to open the book of the Acts of the Apostles and you will see many marvels.
God bless you!
