Understanding The Ministries Of The Holy Spirit: Part 9

September 25, 2024 – 4:46 am
Not only is GOD The Father Lord, not only is Jesus Christ The Lord, but The Holy Spirit is The Lord and the only Personal Representative of GOD on earth! Jesus is Lord over the church, but The Holy Spirit is Lord IN THE CHURCH.  And the lordship of Jesus over the church is effective only insofar as The Holy Spirit is Lord in the church.  We cannot say “I’ve made Jesus Lord of my life” and set aside the Lordship of The Holy Spirit.  In other words, the Lordship of Jesus Christ is worked out through the Lordship of The Holy Spirit.  If a church really wants to have Jesus as Lord, that church must also have The Holy Spirit as Lord in the church! It is vital that we see and understand this Truth.  This is a great problem in many churches today.  They confess Jesus as Lord but don’t make ...

Understanding The Ministries Of The Holy Spirit: Part 8

September 24, 2024 – 6:06 am
The Holy Spirit is THE Personal Representative of GOD on earth! The adversary’s main objective is to lead us away from Truth. Jesus spoke in John chapter 8: 37 "I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My Word has no place in you. 38 I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father." 39 They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the Truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. 41 You do the deeds of your father." Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father-God." 42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would ...

The Holy Spirit is our Advocate! An advocate is defined as a person who takes any action that speaks in favor of, recommends, argues for a cause, supports or defends, or pleads on behalf of others. Jesus spoke in John chapter 14: 16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive [and take to its heart] because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He (the Holy Spirit) remains with you continually and will be in you. 18 “I will not leave you as orphans [comfortless, bereaved, and helpless]; I will come [back] to you.  AMP It is vital that we understand Who The Holy Spirit is in our individual lives.  We are not left to our own devices in dealing with adversity.  If we ...

Understanding The Ministries Of The Holy Spirit: Part 6

September 22, 2024 – 4:08 am
The Holy Spirit is a Person of THE GODHEAD and not to be ignored! Jesus spoke in John chapter 16: 5 "But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?' 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless I tell you the Truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. Jesus was referencing The third Person of THE GODHEAD Who was yet to be sent to the earth for an earthly ministry accessible to all.  In essence, Jesus planted the “seed” on a limited basis, but The Holy Spirit was to minister The Gospel to all the earth without restriction, both Jew and Gentile alike. 8 And when He has ...

Understanding The Ministries Of The Holy Spirit: Part 5

September 21, 2024 – 3:03 am
Our access to GOD THE FATHER is by way of The Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit is here on earth to connect us with Heaven.  If we disregard the ministry of The Holy Spirit, it is our loss. Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2: 22 In Whom you also are being built together for a Dwelling Place of God in the Holy Spirit. In other Words, This means that God is transforming each one of you into the Holy of Holies, His Dwelling Place, through the power of the Holy Spirit living in you! Our access to GOD is totally dependent on The Holy Spirit. Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 3: 1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you? 2 You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read ...

Understanding The Ministries Of The Holy Spirit: Part 4

September 20, 2024 – 4:44 am
Let us acknowledge and embrace the full ministry of The Holy Spirit on earth! Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2: 14 For Jesus Himself is our peace, Who has made both (Jew and non-Jew) one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18 For through Him (Jesus) we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. All Three of the GODHEAD are involved in our collective citizenship in the household of GOD.  We have access to THE ...

The answer to chaos is the ministry/work of The Holy Spirit on earth! Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 1: 1 When God created the heavens and the earth, 2 the earth was completely formless and empty, with nothing but darkness draped over the deep. God’s Spirit hovered over the face of the waters. TPT Before the work of The Holy Spirit began, the earth was formless and empty.  Those who do not have The Holy Spirit experience the same emptiness at a personal level.  When they find that the world cannot fill that emptiness, they will seek the spiritual. Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 10: 34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: "In Truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. 36 The Word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through ...

Understanding The Ministries Of The Holy Spirit: Part 2

September 18, 2024 – 5:31 am
Are we hindering the work of The Holy Spirit here on earth? As I wrote yesterday, the first Person of THE GODHEAD we encounter is The Holy Spirit yet many place little or no importance of the ministry of The Holy Spirit.  The first Person Who contacts us is not THE FATHER, not THE Son, but it is the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit introduces us to The Son.  He influences us in the way we begin to think. Paul recorded by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 1: 20 Opposition to Truth cannot be excused on the basis of ignorance, because from the creation of the world, the invisible qualities of God’s nature have been made visible, such as his eternal power and transcendence. He has made His wonderful attributes easily perceived, for seeing the visible makes us understand the invisible. So then, this leaves everyone without excuse. The Holy Spirit is active ...

Understanding The Ministries Of The Holy Spirit: Part 1

September 17, 2024 – 3:36 am
Are we hindering the work of The Holy Spirit here on earth? What are the ministries of The Holy Spirit?  Much of the church ignores the importance of The Holy Spirit in our lives… sadly.  The Holy Spirit in the most difficult aspect of GOD because we fail to associate Him as a separate person in the GODHEAD.  It is not difficult to associate with GOD The Father and GOD The Son.  Both can be “seen” in Scripture.  For most people, GOD The Holy Spirit is difficult to comprehend because The Holy Spirit is without a body.  Our mind has difficulty in conceiving or describing The Holy Spirit.  We know that GOD The Father is a person, and we know that Jesus is a person.  It is vital to understand The Holy Spirit is as much a person as both THE FATHER and Jesus, the Son. We need to relate to The Holy ...

Afflicting One’s Soul

September 16, 2024 – 5:10 am
Will you afflict your soul? Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Leviticus chapter 16: 29 "This shall be a statute forever for you: In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month (Yom Kippur), you shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether a native of your own country or a stranger who dwells among you. 30 For on that day the priest shall make atonement for you, to cleanse you, that you may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. 31 It is a sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall afflict your souls. It is a statute forever. The word afflict means: to be put down, become low, to stoop, to humble oneself, bow down, to weaken oneself. It is imperative that our spirit man be stronger than our soul and flesh.  This is only done by each of us making the decision to subdue ...
