Andrew, amen amen. It truly is Acts 2:38. As we follow Christ w love.Even the Holy Spirit asked me to tell others about having the indwelling of his Spirit. Many ppl think they have it , & they really don't. We can not live for God in the flesh. The Holy spirit indwelling is a supernatural birth from above. I spoke in tongues too. Praising Jesus daily

My small church speak in tongues. We pray in the Spirit. It is speaking to God. Only God understands. The "gifts of the Spirit" are totally separate. When receiving the Holy Ghost, THAT is the gift, not the utterance in the book of Acts. I have witnessed ppl speaking in tongues when receiving the Holy Ghost.

Do we have the holy spirit in us, when we accept Christ as our savior?

It is time to look for only one thing and thus righteousness. May God help me to attain righteousness.The devil knows he have a limited time and having great wrath to decieve the inhabitants of the earth.

Hello Andrew,

Just to reply on one of your statements. As living proof(myself) you do not need to speak in "unknown tongues" to know you have received the Holy Ghost. The second detail, about receiving the Holy Ghost, you stated is much more accurate and important than the first about "unknown tongues". Helping us to repent from sins of the flesh and follow the Lord walking after the Spirit.

In Acts 2 you will see it is stated "other tongues" and the people who surrounded the building understood them speaking in "our own tongues"(or their own native language). Which means it was not "unknown" babble. Also in ( 1 Corinthians 12 as it just being a specific Gift of the Holy Ghost. That not everyone receives who has the Holy Ghost. Then in ( 1 Corinthians 14 it states if "there be no interpreter" to keep silent in the church with your "tongue" gift.

It just saddens me to see some people state that you have to speak in "tongues" to know you have the Holy Ghost which is a false teaching.

Not knowing if that is what you preach. Hopefully I will receive a reply and thank you for your time.

God Bless.

Thanks and Praise be to God Almighty. Thank you for the encouragement.

May God Bless You and Your House. And stay steadfast in His word and endure for the Glory of Gods Kingdom we will call home one glad day. Amen. We are a child of the King. Hallelujah !

Sowing The Seeds Until His Great Harvest

As a follower of Jesus,we must have very thick skin.That's because of the rocks that are hurled at us daily.Even by those that read the Bible.Words matter and we will have to give an account of every one of them.

Jesus taught in Mark 9:39-41 about the attitude of a servant.When Jesus bent down to write in the sand twice, what did He write? ( John 8:6:8:8)Jesus recorded my sins and the day He came looking for me and I accepted Him as savior & they where to be never remembered and I became a new man.Was set free saved by the grace of God.The Holy Spirit teaches me all about Gods word.Read the next verse in 2 Tim 3:17 before assuming that a person is an internet prophet.That's the division I wrote about in my post.I posted what was laid on my heart.I spoke the truth.We need to realize that we may be the only Bible that the world will ever read.If we live it. It will show.If we love it.It will show.If we treat all as Jesus commands, with love.It will shine.A house divided can not stand.My first post ever:I wrote of my experience with a church as an evangelist.The Macedonian Call Acts 16:9.And the gospel was presented as comfortable and private. No coming forward as to embarrass anyone of their decision for Christ. That was not a preparation for what Christ followers must and will endure.Jesus sure did not have a very comfortable life being the King of Glory as a man here in this world of pain.He hurt and wept.He taught and prayed.He read the word of God to the people in the temple.Are we not to do as Jesus did? Jesus associated,loved and cared for those who were cast out and least desirable.That's why wrote about denominations.The Gospel is very simple, and man makes it difficult.Please don't twist another mans heart for God by the words that divide.My heart,it breaks daily for a lost and dying world.That's my focus.My Love and Prayers towards all.Our work here is not done.Don't let up or give in.

Still Sowing The Seeds Until His Great Harvest

John E.Dillard,Sr.

Danette, The book of Job brings up hard questions that are difficult to answer. Why did God allow Satan to take and destroy all he had, his wealth all the cattle and animals, and his family, and for God to allow this on a righteous man like Job? Job had the patience to trust God even while going through the suffering he was enduring. We need that kind of faith. Everyone around Job was convinced he had done a great sin even his wife told him, Job 2:9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

God may allow trouble and tribulations to come into our lives, but as hard as they may be, we must trust God and remember what our promise is. Our promise is not wealth and prosperity that some cling to, leading many in the way of this world and away from God. Our promise is eternal life by the faith given by the death burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, regardless of what we face in the corrupt world. The story of Job is needed in these times more than when it was written.

We have been told we will have tribulations in this world. It's hard for us humans to accept that God will allow bad things to happen to us for his will. But this message needs to be told especially in the days we are living. We must have faith that it is God's will for his purpose. But if we are used for God's purpose we should rejoice.

James 1:2-4 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

God bless us, Ron

Please pray for Jehovah to provide me a spouse, I'm 48 and still waiting.

Did I mention love and forgiveness, no matter what, is also an sign of the Holy Spirit's presence?

Amen.

Hi, The Holy Spirit in a believer (saved sinner) will provide peace by a lack of condemnation of inherited sin in one's soul. Questions five and six were/are part of my life.

Amen.

Dear Fred,

The Holy Spirit is God the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, the one true God ( John 17:3). You will know you have received the gift of the Holy Spirit when you speak in an unknown tongue and are filled with power to overcome sin by walking after the Spirit and not after the flesh.

As to the issue of sin and God fixing it, He sent His son to die for our sins. Peter preached the new testament gospel (as the NT didn't begin until the day of Pentecost) in Jerusalem to many of the same Jews that crucified Jesus. This Gospel is: Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. - Acts 2:38

Hallelujah! This is how one's (past) sins are remitted (in baptism, calling on the name of Jesus Christ and not the titles F,S&HS) and how one can receive power to live in victory over sin (receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost).

I'm here for you if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Andrew

Need a prayer to free myself from a evil spirit of distraction. I have battled this for years.

Divide and conquer is the strategy of the elite, just like what's happening now!

Mark my words, the vaccine will separate the righteous and the wicked, the Godly and the Godless.

It is the manifestation of the separation.

It has begun, and it will reveal who is who.

It will show who trusts in God, and who doesn't.

Wake up people, before it's to late...

This vaccine will make people think evil continually, So when there is food shortages, because those who take 4 vaccines and survive, and think evil continually, they will surely eat one another!

My backup - ( Jeremiah 19:9 kjv)

And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, where with there enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straitened them.

How do u know, what the spirit of the holy is? Is it a feeling, a revelation of some sort? A visit from an outsider? Perhaps a dream ,if so how to interpret it. Being cursed with sin, how can we interpret these things? Is the holy one, the new creature within us? Guiding and directing our path? How do we become one with the spirit? Praying seems fruitless, waiting for his answers, seems unending! Or , how about the times when we think we are in the spirit, and it is nothing more than our self-righteousness! How do we understand these questions, concerning these things of the holy! We are born into sin, our condition is beyond repair, how will God fix it? He must be the one to repair it! We can't. This would be a miracle, if all he had to do is snap his fingers! One thing I know, is I have a free will, How I use it depends on me!

Discussion is looking real good the past hours!

:)

OnlytruthintheworldKJV, while I am reluctant to take the vaccine, I don't think the mark of the beast will be taken by a Christian on accident or unknowingly. I do believe you will be very aware it is from the devil and will make a conscious choice to receive it or not.

I agree that 2020 was a dry run for those times. We are being conditioned and most are under strong delusion already. Praise God for His mercy to those that love The Lord Jesus Christ!!! May He draw many more to His flock before that day comes!

Mary House, I used to watch Shepherd's chapel but something led me away. I believe it had to do with a particular view of his on creation. My advice is no matter what teaching you hear or watch....stay in your bible! Individual study led by the Holy Spirit will prompt you regarding such programs...I have watched many of them. There is no substitute for making time with the Word every day. Each read through will reveal something new! May God bless you daily!

Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Genesis 18:27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:

Job 4:19 How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?

Psalms 103:14, Psalms 104:29 , -- Ecclesiastes 3:20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

We haven't cremated any of our family, no plans to. But I wouldn't think it makes a difference.

Hi Jesse. I too was very glad to see you back here, remembering your clear & wise teaching that you've shared with us in the past, often basing it on your proficiency in Greek.

I'm still on vacation, as mentioned earlier to others, but trust to contribute here once again after a few days. And thanks for what you've shared in this thread - to which I fully concur.

Please pray for my daughter and son-in-law and their children. They have decided to divorce and my daughter has gotten out of the will of God.

Hi Danette ,im not sure what you mean by acceptable ? Maybe you mean applicable ? Any way yes ,ultimately all Christians are Job in my opinion ,we all suffer tragidies and heartbreak but hopefully our trials and tribulations will make us cling even harder to the Rock of our Salvation .

please be with Kristie and myself pray the Lord gives Kristie the strength and courage to face what is before us

Hi Adam

Actually we had a class and we were to discuss what do we think God is. Everyone had different perspective to what God is to them so when I read Genesis I was aroused to ask this question. Thankyou very much!

Why were the four angels bound in the river euphraties?

Is the story of Job acceptable today?

Acts 2:38

This epistle of Peter is full of encouragement and hope for us, reminding us how others in old times looked into these things based on the information they received from the Spirit, yet could not completely comprehend. They prophecied about Jesus and his coming to earth, but they didnt know Him. They prophesied about the later church thousands of years ago, not knowing what they were really talking about. Things which they desired to understand. Peter talks about prophets who were obedient to the revelation of the Holy Spirit, not knowing they were talking to us, who are people born thousand of years later. This epistle is precious, as Peter tells us to think about these things, knowing how priviledged we are and humbly thanking God for revealing these things to us, encouraging us to continue in the trial of our faith and above all, keep that faith until the very end, for the arrival of Jesus.

I sometimes visual Water as a physical comparison to The Holy Trinity. Three forms of one substance! A liquid, a solid or a gas..

Water as a liquid, GOD The Father. Ice, the Solid as Jesus when he was Birthed, Died and Resurrected in Human form! The Holy Spirit as a Gaseous form; clouds, fog, steam etc, but always Present!!

When Ice melts it becomes Water again! When steam, fog etc condenses it also become Water again! So even though Water can exist in three forms it is still One Substance, WATER.. Just as GOD can exist in three forms; The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit!!! And just as Water is to Life(we can not live without Water) we are to GOD! We can Not have Eternal Life without GOD! Please remember, I only draw this comparison as a physical reference. Not saying we or anyone should worship or Idolize Water as a Replacement for The True Living Eternal GOD....

May GOD bless each and everyone of you who believe in and Trust in the Holy Trinity.

Easter is the pagan festival known as Ishtar, in homage to the fertility goddess Ishtar. The bunny & eggs represent fertility. None of these things have anything to do with Christianity or the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
