W ill strangers hear our name long after we are gone? Will they hear how well we have fought, or how well we have served? What will they say of us? Will they sing our name in the dance, or will they wrote songs about us?
Down through the ages the earth was always hostiles to man, since the fall of man. We have spoiled our name. However, Christ promises to give us a new name if we serve him. Men rise and fall like the autumn leafs, and in the kingdom of men, no one remember solders. Only the names of Kings. However, In Christ army all his solders are kings.
Our lord promises that whoever comes to him, he will plant in that person a spring of life giving water.
John 7:37 (KJV)In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. John 7:38 (KJV)He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. John 7:39 (KJV) (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
I have seen people in the charismatic churches got fill with spirit, spoke in other tongues In addition, manifest great gifts. At the same time, the spirit of living water is not evidence in their lives. Most of the woman I worked among, is members from different charismatic group, all claimed to be filled, all is married, but not one living with an husband. I cannot help but think that something is wrong. Many people do not realize that Satan has invaded the church and is putting his spirit in people.
A YOUNG MAN FROM ONE OF OUR CHURCH GOT FILL AND JUMP THROUGH THE WINDOW AND RAN AWAY.
I sister got fill and was still on the ground. A brother went to pick her up and she bites him two inches from his testicles. She almost castrates him. Satan is having the laugh of his life. He is putting his spirits in people right under our noses and we are telling them that they are fill with the Holy Sprit. Some do not even believe in the scriptures. But, claimed to be fill.
THE CONCRETE EVIDENCE.
IMPART LOVE TO BELIVERS.
To know if a person is truly filled with he genuine holy spirit. The scriptures told us what the Holy Spirit came to do in a believer’s life, and if these things are not happening in the person life the person pick up one of Satan spirit that he has masquerade, in the churches and is posing as the Holy Spirit.
THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME TO GIVE THE BELIVERS POWER TO PROCLAME THE GOSPEL.
Romans 8:15 (KJV) For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
GIVE BELIVERS A SOUND MIND.
THE HOLY SPIRIT BRING BACK THE THINGS OF CHRIST TO OUR REMEMBERAANCE.
THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDE BELIVERS INTO ALL TRUTH.
THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL NEVER LEAVE THE BELIVERS.
THE HOLY SPIRIT GLORIFIES CHRIST.
WALK IN THE SPIRIT MEAN TO CONDUCT OUR LIFE BASE ON THE WORD.
UNRULY WIVES IS NOT FILL WITH GOD SPIRT.
WE PUT ON JESUS BY APPLYING HIS WORD TO OUR LIVES.
Galatians 3:27 (KJV) For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Col. 3:12 (KJV) Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
This is Christ's explanation that the rivers of living water refer to the fullness of the Holy Spirit that was to be given to all men after He became glorified (Acts 2:33,38-39). See note, §John 3:34. This is a prophecy of the same thing Joel spoke about (cp. Joel 2:28 with Acts 2:1-21). Different measures of the Spirit: 1. Mosaic portion (Numbers 11:17,25)
2. Mosaic portion divided into 71 portions (Numbers 11:16-17,25-29)
3. Elijah portion (2 Kings 2:9)
4. Double portion (2 Kings 2:9-10)
5. Elijah portion on John the Baptist (Luke 1:15-17)
6. Earnest of the Spirit (2 Cor. 1:22; 2 Cor. 5:5; 1 John 4:13; Phil. 1:19)
7. The Spirit "without measure" (John 3:34; Isaiah 11:2; Isaiah 42:1; Isaiah 61:1; Luke
4:16-21; Acts 10:38); Spirit baptism or baptismal measure (Matthew 3:11; Matthew 20:22-23; Luke 3:16; John 1:31-34; Acts 1:4-8; Acts 2:1-21; Acts 8:15-24; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 11:14-18; Acts 15:7-11; Acts 19:1-7; Galatians 3:14); the fulness of God (Ephes. 3:19; Romans 15:29); the rivers of living water (John 7:37-39); and the full anointing of the Spirit and enduement of power from on high (Luke 24:49; John 14:12-15)
THE END
Let us face the fact, no matter how much education we had on a subject we can go out there and made the worst mistakes of our life, that cause us dearly. Only Jesus Christ can help us with our decision-making.
Proverbs 3:6 in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Psalm 34:8 (NASB-U) O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
HOW TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN.
Isaiah 7:11 (ASV) Ask thee a sign of Jehovah thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. Isaiah 7:12 (ASV) But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt Jehovah.
Ezekiel 18:32 (ASV) For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah: wherefore turn yourselves, and live.
First you must recognize that you are a sinner and need God mercy.
1 Peter 2:24 (Living) He personally carried the load of our sins in his own body when he died on the cross so that we can be finished with sin and live a good life from now on. For his wounds have healed ours!
YOU MUST KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT SAVE YOURSELF.
2 Peter 3:18 (ASV) But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Zech. 4:7 (KJV) Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
Eph 2:8 The Message Bible” “Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish! Eph 2:9 We don't play the major role. If we did, we'd probably go around bragging that we'd done the whole thing!” There nothing you could do to save yourself , the only thing you could do is bowed your head and ask God to save you.
You must believe that there is a God.
No other person can save you except Jesus.
Acts 4:12 (Living) There is salvation in no one else! Under all heaven there is no other name for men to call upon to save them."
Then you must know that God invites you to come to him.
Do not wait until tomorrow to get save.
2Co 6:2 The Message Bible. “God reminds us, I heard your call in the nick of time; The day you needed me, I was there to help. Well, now is the right time to listen, the day to be helped.”
Delay not your conversion to the lord, put it not off from day to day. Remember that tomorrow is promise to no man. Accept the lord, go home and continue with your life, if the lord.. If the lord saves you in bad life style, he has some plan up his sleeve how to get you out of it, give him time to work out his salvation in your life.
WHOSEOEVER SHALL CALL.
Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Ezekiel 33:11 (KJV) Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Now bow your head and pray this prayer.
From this day onward you will begin to feel a flood of joy and peace full your heart and mind. You must confess Jesus to others with your mouth. Tell what great thing the lord had done for you. Romans 10:9 (Living) For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and believe in your own heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Then you need to start reading the bible, start reading from St Mathew.
THE LORD WILL MAKE YOU HOLY IN HIS OWN TIME.
OUR BODY WAS NOT REEDEM AT CONVERSION.
Rom 8:21 that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Rom 8:23 And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
OUR VILE BODY WILL BE CHANGE AT THE RETURN OF JESUS.
THE SINS OF THE BODY WILL NOT BE CONQUERED LITERALY BY ALL SAINTS WHILE LIVING ON EARTH.
When the Lord redeemed us our body was not redeem, it was our spirit and soul. The changes took place in our spirit man. Not the body. The body will still continue to sin. If the believer do not know this they will become worried as to why am I still lusting? And became eaten up with guilt to the point where they experience no peace and joy.
Even though our body were not redeem, we who wanting to live up to certain standard, to please society, must bring our body into subjection, even thou we do not do that to buy salvation. But to prevent Satan from capitalized on it. But to bring this body into subjection take time. We saw belivers at the judgment seat of Christ in heaven being judge for the deeds of the body. That mean they made it in, so not all of us will overcame the deeds of the body, but we all will made it in.
1 Cor. 9:27 (NASB-U)but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
2 Cor. 2:11 (NASB-U) so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
Romans 12:1 (GW)Brothers and sisters, in view of all we have just shared about God's compassion, I encourage you to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, dedicated to God and pleasing to him. This kind of worship is appropriate for you.
2 Cor. 12:7 (NASB-U)Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself!
SOME THING YOU OVERCAME BY GRACE.
“I saw a river of blood, flows from Calvary Mountain, I am in it and your are in it, and I am clean, clean” By Smith Wiggle worth.
We can sing with the song writer" I rise walk in heaven’s own light above the world and sin with heart made pure and garments white, and Christ en-throned with in. The cleansing stream I see I see I plunge, and O It cleans-eth me. O praise the Lord, it cleans-eth me, it cleans-eth me yes, cleans-eth me."
HOW TO CONTINUE IN THE FAITH.
The first thing you will need to know is this. Beware of people who come laying hands on you say they are filling you with the Holy Ghost. That is how people get possess with demonic spirits. God will give you every thing you need to fit you out for his service in his own times. You do not need to push any thing nor to make any thing happen. Wait until God make it happen. Do not get too carry away into this charismatic stuff, I spent almost forty years in it, all those who try to fake it or pushed it got hurt.
You will need to read the book “War on the saints” By Jessie Penn-Lewis. The Christians literature Crusade, fort Washington, Pennsylvania 19034 U.S.A. ISBN 0-87508-958-4. Get this book before you start messing with Charismatic.
A NEW MIND-SET.
Eph 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
GIVE YOURSELF AWAY TO THE THINGS OF GOD.
Jer 29:13 The Message Bible. "When you come looking for me, you'll find me. "Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else,
