? About the Holy Spirit

[Albert Finch]

Psalm 115:8 -- "They who make idols are like them; so are all who trust in and lean on them."

If our Knowledge about God is not charged with the life and power of God, mere knowledge becomes an idol in our minds. It is easy for us to have ideas and images of God that are untrue, which the HOLY SPIRIT would remove if we would let Him.

The power of Christ's life is filtered and proportionally diminished by the number of these wrong images existing within us.

Matthew 24:4 -- Jesus answered them, Be careful that no one misleads you (deceiving you and leading you into error).

Hi Chiquita!

Do you remember the story about Jacob and his Uncle Laban? Your story here is similar to theirs in a way.

Its a really facinating story! Check it out! Genesis 29-31

Saints,

This topic is 2 years old and the OP did not revive it to get an answer to their original question. I'll leave it open, but if the OP is no longer asking the question it might no make much sense to answe something that has remained dormant for 2 years.

Psalm 100:4 - "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thainkful to Him, and bless His name."

Praise and thanksgiving, communing with God in the Holy Spirit, starts with being Holy Spirit sensitive and understanding the reality of having our spirit connected into the anointing of His Presence.

It is true that the anointing is for others, but it is also true that the anointing is for us to know Him and His truth.

1 John 1:20 - "But you have an anointing from the Holy one, and you know all things."

Ezekiel 37:2,3 - And He set me in the middle of a valley ; it was full of bones....He asked me, 'Son of man, can these bones live?'

The Holy Spirit resurrection power that is released through faith enables us to speak to and encourage ourselves in the Lord. We are to bring forth new hope and speak life to those that are dead and despairing. As our ears are tuned to hear the Lord's voice His words will create the hunger and desire to disciple others into a higher spiritual life in Chirst.

The Source of eternal life will connect us to others that will empower us to become all we are destined to be.

Ezekiel 37:10 - "So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet -- a vast army."

2 Corinthians 5:17 - If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

When we were born again we received the very Spirit of God, and through His Spirit we were birthed into another realm; the Kingdom of Heaven. Through the vehicle of the Holy spirit we are united to the actual person of Jesus Christ who is seated at the throne of God. Our heart is attached to the power of God. We are never alone. Christ is always with us. What we were as a person prior to salvation, we will never be again!

Matthew 5:20 - For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Christs virtue and power came from the Holy Spirit, not a religious spirit. For it was the fruit of the Holy Spirit that the Father crowned with power - love healed broken bodies - peace drove out tormenting spirits - joy released captives from sin.

Romans 14:17 - For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

1 John 2:17,18 - The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come.

Religion idolizes concepts and avoids personal experience. It is the antichrist spirit that has given rise to religious spirits. Being led by the Holy Spirit is an ongoing God encounter.

A religious spirit is a demonic presence that works to get us to substitute being led by our intellect instead of the Spirit of God.

Galatians 5:25 - If the Spirit is the source of our life, let the Spirit also direct our course.

John 4:24 - God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

John 10:4 - The gate keeper admits him, and the sheep hear his voice; he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. When he as brought them all out, he goes ahead and the sheep follow, because they know his voice.

Jesus did not say, "My sheep will know my book." It is His voice that we are to know.

Why the distinction? Because anyone can know the Bible as a book -- the devil himself knows and quotes the scriptures. But only those whose lives are dependent on the person of the Holy Spirit will consistently recognize His voice.

Observation

I must diligently study the scriptures, remembering that it is in knowing Him that the greatest truths of scripture will be understood.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
