Glory to God I had the privilege of laying hands on the head of a fellow Believer just this morning and she received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and began speaking in tongues! Praise God!
I should also add: Notice that when Jesus breathed onto the Apostles, they received the Holy Spirit and became born again. Now why is He right after this saying that they would be baptized with the Holy Spirit in Acts 1:5? They already had the Holy Spirit inside them by being born again. So you can see that these are 2 different things: 1 being the Holy Spirit coming inside your heart at the point of being born again, then 2 the baptism of the Holy Spirit that Jesus said He would give us after being born again. And then you see Acts 2 and they are speaking in tongues as a result. Then you see the other 3 instances in Acts (8, 10, 19) and these are all new Believers and the Apostles believe it is very important that they all receive this Baptism of the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues; and they got their instructions straight from Jesus. Obviously pretty important.
But you can receive it today. Right where you are, just pray to the Father to receive this Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Pray this: "Heavenly Father, I am a believer. I am Your child and You are my Father. Jesus is my Lord. I believe with all my heart that Your Word is true.
“Your Word says if I will ask, I will receive the Holy Spirit. So in the Name of Jesus Christ, my Lord, I am asking You to fill me to overflowing with Your precious Holy Spirit. Jesus, baptize me in the Holy Spirit.
“Because of Your Word, I believe that I now receive and I thank You for it. I believe the Holy Spirit is within me and, by faith, I accept it.
“Now, Holy Spirit, rise up within me as I praise God. I fully expect to speak with other tongues, as You give me the utterance.”
Now begin giving sound to the expressions in your heart. Speak and hear the Holy Spirit speaking through you.
Rejoice! You’ve just been baptized in the Holy Spirit! You’ve been endued with power—hallelujah!
