30 Bible Teachings Why You Must Have the Holy Ghost to Make the Rapture
by Ernest Angley A WORD OF EXPLANATION: The word "Rapture" refers to the second coming of Jesus when He will come for His Bride. There are those who misunderstand when I say the Bible teaches you must have the Holy Ghost baptism to make the Rapture; they think I mean that no one can go to Heaven without the Holy Ghost baptism. NO, I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT TAKES THE HOLY GHOST BAPTISM TO GO TO HEAVEN. A person who is born of the Spirit of God will go to Heaven. ALL THAT IT TAKES TO GO TO HEAVEN IS THE NEW BIRTH, A BORN-AGAIN EXPERIENCE THROUGH THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. However, more power will be required for us to go to Heaven by way of the Rapture than by way of the grave. We who are alive on the face of the earth when Jesus comes will need something extra; we will need the Holy Ghost baptism before we can be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.

4. They Received the Holy Ghost and Spoke in Tongues During the Early Rain
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the EARLY and LATTER rain (James 5:7). At Pentecost the early rain fell: But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel (Acts 2:16). AndI will pour out my spirit upon all flesh (Joel 2:28). In the early rain during the early church period, EVERY GIFT AND FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT WAS MANIFESTED IN THE CHURCH until the nine gifts and the nine fruits of the Spirit hung as eighteen perfect apples upon the perfect tree. The Early Church is our pattern today. THE EARLY CHURCH HAD THE HOLY GHOST BAPTISM WITH THE EVIDENCE OF SPEAKING WITH OTHER TONGUES.
5. You Must Receive the Holy Ghost and Speak in Tongues in the Latter Rain
The Holy Ghost had control and wrought mighty miracles in the midst of the people; then the devil wormed his way into the Church and she lost her power. That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten (Joel 1:4). Joel said this would happen to the Church and it did. For almost 2,000 years God has waited for the harvest of the latter rain; James said he had waited with long patience for it. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you (Joel 2:25). Yes, the Lord said He would restore the power to the Church in the last days. Now that power is here. THE LATTER RAIN IS THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST; YOU CANNOT BE READY FOR HIS COMING WITHOUT THIS POWER. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT JUST

BEFORE THE COMING OF THE SON OF GOD THE HOLY GHOST WOULD BE POURED OUT, not a sprinkle, but a downpour of the Spirit. Why do you think He promised to pour out His Spirit on us in the last days if it were not necessary in our preparation for His coming? Again in Acts 2:18 He said, I will pour out in those days of my Spirit. Whatever keeps you from receiving the Holy Ghost in an age of the downpour of the Spirit will certainly keep you out of the Rapture. No one can be caught up in the Rapture without first receiving the Holy Ghost baptism.

quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God (Revelation 3:10-12). God considered it necessary for Jesus to have the Holy Ghost; and it is vital that you have that power within you, too, if you are to be an overcomer for the Lord. YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE THE HOLY GHOST TO BE AN OVERCOMER. The overcomers only will be taken at Jesus return.

Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, BUT UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE WILL OF THE LORD IS. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 5:14-20). This is the pattern for the Spirit-filled life; the ones who will be taken in the Rapture will be alive in His Spirit as they await His coming.

but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (I Corinthians 15:51,52). THIS CHANGE IS NOT DEATH. Death will not have a chance at those taken in the Rapture. THE HOLY GHOST THAT WORKS WITHIN YOU WILL CHANGE YOU. On the other hand, Hebrews 9:27 tells us: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Remember THERE IS AN APPOINTMENT OF DEATH TO EVERY MAN, but in I Corinthians we are told that SOME WILL ESCAPE THIS APPOINTMENT. How can this be done? By finding favor in the eyes of God through complete yielding to the Holy Ghost.

brought back Rebekah. God sent the Holy Ghost into this world to find a Bride for His Son, Jesus. It takes something very special to be caught away with the Lord. In our day it will take the Holy Ghost baptism.

of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away (II Timothy 3:5). WHEN YOU REJECT THE HOLY GHOST YOU REFUSE HIS POWER (Acts 1:8).
14. The Man Child in the Twelfth Chapter of Revelation Will Be Taken
The woman, in the twelfth chapter of Revelation, is Israel. The man child is the 144,000 spoken of again in the fourteenth chapter of Revelation. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness (Revelation 12:5,6). Out of the millions of Jews in the twelve tribes of Israel, 144,000 are to be caught up to God in the middle of the Tribulation Period. Why are these caught up? These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb (Revelation 14:4). The 144,000, the man child of Revelation 12:5, find favor with God and are caught up while the remaining millions of Jews are left behind, still in the Tribulation Period. Note the 144,000 are all men: These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins (Revelation 14:4). AND IN THEIR MOUTH WAS FOUND NO GUILE: for they are WITHOUT FAULT before the throne of God (Revelation 14:5). However, because the main part of the nation of Israel will not be caught up does not mean that they are lost. No, they are saved, but left behind to go through all the tribulation. So it will be with the Gentile nations when Jesus comes for the Gentile Bride; ALL GENTILE CHRISTIANS WILL NOT BE CAUGHT UP, but the bulk of them will go into the Tribulation Period.

started out of the city and only three, Lot and his two daughters, made it all the way. LITTLE THINGS CAN KEEP YOU OUT OF THE RAPTURE. LOTS WIFE JUST LOOKED BACK at the city and was turned to a pillar of salt. Do you think God will excuse you for your disobediences when He did not excuse Lots wife? He said He would give the Holy Ghost to them that obey Him (Acts 5:32). Neighbor, obey the Lord as Peter and the other apostles did when they said in Acts 5:29, We ought to obey God rather than men. Remember, in Noahs day only eight people out of all the multitudes on the face of the earth went into the ark. The others were left to suffer the wrath of God. Those who have not received the Holy Ghost baptism when Jesus comes will remain on earth to suffer the wrath of God also.

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that YE SHOULD FOLLOW HIS STEPS (I Peter 2:21). John saw Him receive the Holy Ghost (Matthew 3:16). The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me (Luke 4:18). God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost (Acts 10:38). Every miracle that Christ performed was through the Holy Ghost. Christ had the Holy Ghost when He ascended, and you must have Him to be caught up when Jesus comes. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead SHALL ALSO QUICKEN YOUR MORTAL BODIES BY HIS SPIRIT THAT DWELLETH IN YOU (Romans 8:11). You must have the Holy Ghost IN you to quicken your mortal body. It was the Holy Ghost that raised Jesus from the dead.

righteousness: for they shall be filled (Matthew 5:6). If you hunger for God, He will give the Holy Ghost to you. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: HOW MUCH MORE SHALL YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO THEM THAT ASK HIM (Luke 11:11-13)?. A hunger for God will compel you to seek Him in His fullness, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost is part of that fullness. The Bible states that God will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask.

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so

great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:1,2). Friend, if you LAY ASIDE ALL THE WEIGHTS BY LOOKING TO JESUS, He will give you the Holy Ghost; for He said in John 14:16, And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh (James 5:8). Lay aside the weights, look to Jesus and continue to look; receive the Holy Ghost.
22. The Holy Ghost Will Give You Faith to Make the Rapture
Contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints (Jude 3). The faith that was delivered to the Early Church brought them to the place they were baptized in the Holy Ghost. If we dont need such faith, why are we told to contend for it? We cannot have the fullness of Gods faith without having the Holy Ghost dwelling within.
23. You Must Have the Fruits of the Spirit That Come through the Holy Ghost
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance (Galatians 5:22,23). To bear the fullness of the nine fruits of the Spirit, one must have the Holy Ghost. There are no apples without an apple tree, no pears without a pear tree, and there are no fruits of the Spirit in your life unless you receive the bearer of those fruits, the Holy Spirit.

the Holy Ghost) offered her. Do you think she would have been accepted as the bride for Isaac had she refused the servant of Abraham and his gifts? Absolutely not. Neither will you be accepted as part of the Bride of Christ if you refuse to accept the Holy Ghost and His gifts.
25. How Shall You Escape If You Neglect the Holy Ghost?
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will (Hebrews 2:1-4)? PAUL IS WRITING TO CHRISTIANS; THEY ALREADY HAVE SALVATION. THIS GREAT SALVATION HE IS TELLING THEM ABOUT IS THE HOLY GHOST. How shall we escape the Tribulation period IF WE NEGLECT SO GREAT SALAVATION?

peace, without spot, AND BLAMELESS (II Peter 3:14). AND UNTO THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation (Hebrews 9:28). How can you truly be looking for Him unless you are blameless before him? Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the FULNESS OF CHRIST (Ephesians 4:13). YOU CANNOT HAVE THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST WITHOUT RECEIVING THE HOLY GHOST, neither can you have the fullness unless you are blameless. TO BE BLAMELESS YOU MUST WALK IN THE LIGHT. If you do not walk in the light, you are not blameless in the eyes of the Lord. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin (I John 1:7). Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin (James 4:17). You will be blameless when you have done all the Lord requires, and that includes receiving the Holy Ghost baptism.
30. Yield to the Holy Ghost or You Will Quench the Spirit
The Holy Ghost is here on a mission to get the Bride ready for the coming of Christ. How can anyone who QUENCHES the Holy Ghost be ready for the Rapture? Quench not the Spirit (I Thessalonians 5:19). Quench means to subdue, suppress, extinguish or make an end of. Some of you have allowed unbelieving preachers and teachers to cause you to quench the Spirit. No one could be ready for the coming of the Lord when he is turning his back on the Holy Ghost baptism for his life. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. QUENCH NOT THE SPIRIT. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God

YOUR WHOLE SPIRIT AND SOUL AND BODY BE PRESERVED BLAMELESS unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (I Thessalonians 5:16-23). A person doing these things WILL RECEIVE the Holy Ghost. If you quench the Spirit, there will not be enough of His power working in you to change you when Jesus comes.
God Spoke to Me
Friend, three times God has told me that THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ALIVE WHEN JESUS COMES WILL NEED THE HOLY GHOST BAPTISM, WITH THE INITIAL EVIDENCE OF SPEAKING WITH OTHER TONGUES, to be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye. God has given numerous scriptures to back up what He said. He also gave me special power for laying on hands for the Holy Ghost just as they had in the Early Church (Acts 8:17 and Acts 19:6). He told me to preach the Holy Ghost to the people. JESUS IS SOON COMING! Dont let anyone convince you that you do not need this glorious baptism, because WITHOUT IT YOU WILL GO INTO THE TRIBULATION PERIOD. After Jesus comes it will be too late to change your mind and escape that devastating period. Humbly, I give you this message as the Lord has given it to me. I can say with Paul, Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God (Acts 20:26,27).
