Yes, it was posted by me and I have to admit that I did word this very badly. My thought was that the Holy Spirit did not enter believers before Christ as He does in the Church age. He did not remain as He does today. Otherwise, Jesus would not of said that if He did not return to the Farther, then He would not be able to send the Helper.

Please accept my apologies for such a terrible explanation of my thoughts.

OK, glad that got cleared up -

Sorry I got the quotes mixed up . . . but well, it was confusing going through the quotes of quotes and . . . well, you know. . . .

Seeker,

a non Believer does not walk with the Holy Spirit -

Before I was saved in 2001, I believed in God, yet I didn't FOLLOW in His footsteps. I can see now in retrospect that before I was saved, God certainly had His eye on me because for certain, there were situations I was in that called for serious outcomes...but yet it didn't happen.

But in no way can I say that I had a relationship with Jesus and I definitely didn't "hear" or "know" the Holy Spirit's promptings and guidance until after my serious commitment and lifechanging salvation.

Of course before I was saved, I knew right from wrong and knew that I was doing something that I ought not to do - maybe this is where you feel that the Holy Spirit is with nonBelievers.

When I was a non-believer I did the right thing. I never knew at the time that Christians believed that Jesus is God (and I grew up in a Christian church). I just loved God and walked in the Spirit.

If you loved God then you must have believed in God eventhough you say you didn't know Jesus is God, yes? Then by definition you were NOT an un Believer.

Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities

Okay well it is how one defines it. I was a believer in God at the time but I was not a believer in Jesus. I did not know that Jesus was thought of as God.

I still nontheless walked in the Spirit.

Can you clarify the red text for me please? I'm not getting it.

You went to Church as a child and believed in God but did not believe in Jesus - what does that mean?

Even though you didn't know Jesus was God, you still didn't believe in Jesus?

I'm not computing.

Maybe you simply mean - " I believed in God AND Jesus but didn't know Jesus was God."....Correct?

Seeker - there are two aspects of a persons walk in life - pre Salvation , post Salvation.

There is a huge difference.

Just because one believes in God doesn't equate to being led by the Holy Spirit - I'm sure the others here have already mentioned that.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
