Shortly before His ascension Jesus told His disciple to wait in the city for "the promise of the Father", which was the baptism in the Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:4-5) In this first message of the series 'The Spirit's Anointing' Pastor Duane explains what baptism in the Holy Spirit is, why it matters, and how it equips believers to live with boldness and purpose. This promise isn’t just emotional or symbolic — it’s a vital part of God’s unshakable covenant, rooted all the way back in Abraham.
