Many pastors and churches today have a fear of the Holy Spirit, feeling unsure of how to present the Holy Spirit in a context that is biblical and not sensational. Due to a lack of biblical exegesis and education, many simply relegate the Holy Spirit's power to salvation and neglect the baptism in the Holy Spirit altogether. This project uses biblical-theological research along with a contemporary literature review to present a biblical approach to receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit. By looking at the episodes of Holy Spirit involvement throughout Scripture, this research shows that the Holy Spirit has been present and active since Creation. Furthermore, modern literature and empirical data show how people best receive the Holy Spirit when atmosphere, expectation, and proximity are encouraged. To address this problem, I created and presented a series of teachings at Faith Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, over the course of four weeks. This series included teaching in the Sunday morning worship service, a Holy Spirit Lab was offered in the evening so participants could pray and wait on the Holy Spirit. I also distributed a survey on the Holy Spirit to strengthen this teaching series with over 1,600 participants. The results of the survey showed an increase in the participants' understanding of the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and a strong increase on four questions. As a result, many people experienced the baptism in the Holy Spirit during the teaching series and in the months that followed.
