HOLYGHOST & FIRE Holy spirit is promised to us by God in Joel 2:28 and Jesus Christ when He was in the world promised to His disciple and them that will believe, that He will send the Holy Spirit to us when He goes to heaven in Jn 16:7. He advised that it is better He goes and send the Holy Spirit but first in Jn 14:16 “And I will pray the father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever. God gives the Holy Spirit to him who asks Him as said by Jesus Christ in Lk 11:13 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? The work of the Holy Spirit Jn 16:8, And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. Jn 16:9, of sin because they do not believe me; of righteousness, because I go to my father and you see me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judgment, because the ruler of the world is judgment. There are three things that the Holy Spirit does 1. Convict of sin:- For unbelievers (World) 2. Of righteousness:- For Jesus Christ (Christ) 3. Of judgment:- For Satan (ruler of the world) Jn. 16:13 “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth – Jn 16:14: “He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is mine and declare it to you. Now you can see that He will show us and guide us into all truth, not some truth and not into false, He will also glorify Christ in our lives, which means He will bring the glory of Christ into our live. The explanation of the work of the Holy spirit is very simple and clear, Jesus did not tell us that the Holy spirit is used to send to our enemies to destroy them, instead the scripture according to St. Paul says, in 1 cor 5:5 “deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus; This punishment is for a backsliding brother, not your enemy. People say that they are placing judgment on their enemy, but Paul says in 1 Cor. 5:12 for what have I to do with judging those who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside, 1 Cor. 5:13 But those who are outside God judges. So my brother, let us stop using the name of God in vain. Allow the Holy spirit to abide in you, it shall show you all the truth about this our Christ and Christianity, do not do or say because others who are perhaps greater than you are doing or saying, their ways may be evil, but seek the ways of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you are among the Christians praying this prayer, stop there now, fast and pray that the spirit of God (Holy Spirit) will guide you into all the truth. Do not be carried away by powers around you, after all Satan operates with powers, but all powers, whether in Heaven or earth had been given to Jesus Christ Mtt.28:18. Without holiness/righteousness no eye shall see God, Mt 5:20 “For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven”, not without powers, prophecy etc, so let us pursue righteousness. “seek you first the kingdom of God and His righteousness Mtt6:33, then am I not against powers? No, I also operate with powers, but may it not take away the righteousness of Christ in me, Paul made it clearer in 1 Cor 2:4: And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the spirit and of power. Holy Spirit is not to be used against men, but against Satan and other works that populate the kingdom of Heaven, not to populate the kingdom of hell. Because it’s either you do the service of God or you do the service of satan, it’s either you populate the kingdom of God by saving sinner’s life as Jesus Christ commissioned us or you populate the kingdom of satan by sending sinner’s life to hell. Heaven is God’s habitation while hell is satan’s habitation, so ask yourself and judge yourself this question; “which of these kingdom do you populate?” any one you populate is the one you serve. You are not chosen by Jesus Christ to destroy men’s lives where as He did not destroy any. Jesus did not choose you to send people to hell where as he sends you to heaven, Jesus Christ came to save us from hell fire to heaven. Now there are two things on this earth, every thing on this earth has positive and negative, evil and good, male and female, God and Satan, then the service of God and Satan, then the service of Satan. You can never do the service of God and the service of Satan at the same time, you can never behave like God and Satan at the same time, you can never destroy men’s lives and at the same time save men’s live, not even Jesus Christ except God could do it. If you destroy men’s lives you are doing the service of Satan, because he is the one who come to steal, to kill, and to destroy “Jn 10:10, but if you save man’s lives, you are doing the service of Jesus Christ because He is the savior of the world/sinners. Jesus Christ saves sinners to Heaven, while Satan kills sinners to hells, the question is, are you doing the service of Satan by sending sinners to hell? Or are you doing the service God by sending sinners to Heaven? Or Are you populating the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Oh man of God, the word is coming to you and I today from Rev. 2, and 3. |
