What does it mean to thirst after righteousness? Does one achieve righteousness on their own or does God help them? In this sermon titled “Seeking Baptism in the Spirit (1),” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones preaches from John 1:26-33 to tell of the free gift of God: His Spirit. When the Christian repents of their sins and trusts in Christ, they instantly qualify to share in the inheritance of the saints. Christ has accomplished this good for His people. What then must the Christian do once they are saved? Dr. Lloyd-Jones helpfully explains that they should seek to please God. If the Christian loves God, they will seek to please Him by obeying Him. The Christian’s righteousness is not achieved by them, but by the Spirit’s work. They are not to grieve the Spirit by persisting in something if they feel conviction regarding it. Additionally, God’s children are not to quench the Spirit by not following the general direction God is giving their lives. God is willing to bestow Himself upon anyone who asks, and this is truly the greatest gift in the universe. Dr. Lloyd-Jones preaches that the Christian must let God know the desires of their heart. If the desires are right and God is sought in them, He will graciously give all things.
Listened to all MLJs Holy Spirit messages, as well as many others. No man understands the Holy Pirit baptism better than him. I've given away copies of Joy Unspeakable to fellow believers, but no one understands. We must not turn the Holy Spirit into an academic exercise, no, we must surrender and wait. And surrender, surrender,surrender to God and what happens is indescribable. This has happenned 3 times in my life. It humbled me and empowered at the same time. I hope before I die I can meet one person who understands. Just one.
This collection of sermons is such a blessing.
Listening to MLJ is like getting surgery in parts of the soul that formerly seemed unreachable!

Thirsting after righteousness to me is pleasing God. The Holy Spirit helps us in doing that, imagine taking on the nature of God in a personal way. That is powerful!
Can someone pray that I would get the baptism of the Holy Spirit and my prayer language?
What is the hymn sung at the end?
