In his sermon, Pastor Joel Tassiello demystifies the idea surrounding the baptism of the Holy Spirit, stressing that this baptism is not a one-time peak experience, but rather an endowment of divine power meant to help believers emulate Jesus' works on Earth. Tassiello observes a lack in the everyday application of this divine power among believers, indicating that the signs of the Holy Spirit—such as miracles—should be present not only in ecclesiastic contexts, but also in the routine tasks of life. This, in essence, emphasizes an active, rather than passive, application of the Holy Spirit. Besides dwelling on manifestations of the Holy Spirit, Tassiello warns against over-dependence on prophetic utterances as the sole source of spiritual guidance. Instead, he advises believers to pay heed to the physical and emotional cues given by people, using those as starting points to employ the wisdom and discernment granted by the Holy Spirit. He shares his personal encounter with a pastor who dismissed his prophetic advice, consequently leading to a discussion on the relevance and function of prophecy, especially in tough situations. Tassiello concludes by championing the need for believers to not only strive for a profound comprehension of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, but also to actively apply this divine power in their daily lives, utilizing their own experiences and relationships as tools of prophecy.
