The gift of the Spirit (continued)
I had already written at the end of the first part of my book, an episode that talked about the gift of the Spirit. God raises me indeed an unexpected and unimaginable height. Finally, I knew it was high and mighty, but I could not imagine the content ..
Here already 2 years God awakened my mind to get back to work, His work of course! ..
Every day I grow and what is more wonderful is that I can read my progress in the Bible, my history is written, and the pieces are positioned at the precise location of their place. I read and I marvel at what things are so precise and yet with the time difference.
Ecclesiastes 1:
9 What has been is what will be; and what has been done is what will be done; and there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Will he one thing we can say: See, this is new? -It has been already, in the ages which were before us.
I rebuild the temple, what a great honor that God made me, for choosing me to know Him ..
I Zerubbabel, the prince of Judah, and what is most fabulous, and that everywhere I read that Jesus is with me, as for example in Ezra 3 ..
Ezra 3:2 And Joshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brothers arose and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, whichever is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
In Zechariah 3 .. I had the soiled by my sins ..
Zechariah 3:3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
Currently (10/2012), I am exactly in Esdras 3, the foundations of the temple are placed, we offer the burnt offerings morning and evening (our main prayers for the moment, because I hope to increase this figure that nothing satisfies me ..), we celebrate the new moons, and this week will be the feast of tabernacles, I'm in the second year of the reign of Darius, as the second year of my spiritual wake ..
Obviously, I do not read the Bible trying to do the same thing with the same dates of Zerubbabel, but as by the merest chance, I realize that everything fits, what I read, dates, with what I saw .. Glory to our God who makes us live wonderful things ..
Let us return to the gift of the Holy Spirit, how the grow ..
What I just wrote was for you POSITIONED me very specifically, and I try to explain better what we do for our spiritual elevation, bearing in mind that only he who is of God can understand, because as can be read in Isaiah, God does not give knowledge to all, nor understanding .. but only some ..
Acts 5:32 And we are witnesses of these things, and the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.
Isaiah 6:10 Make the heart of this people fat ears, and shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, not and convert, and be healed.
Isaiah 44:18 They have no intelligence or understanding, for he hath shut their eyes, that they may not see, and the heart so that they may not understand.
We must consider everything I write in my lessons because I'm here to help you, prepared and taught by God to His Church, His chosen ones ..
The Holy Spirit is given to us at our baptism, It is It who convicts us of our sins, and the need for repentance and Jesus to save our souls .. It is given with a small dosage ...
Titus 3:
5 not on the principle of works which have been done in righteousness which *we* had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
6 which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
This small dosage of the Spirit, we must take care, because It is very fragile. We stifle or kill It with our sins.
Repentance allows us to erase our sins and deliver us to the level when the Holy Spirit, although every time we lose a little, but if we do not repent well or not at all, then we lose this earnest of the Spirit God gave us ..
What we must understand is that, at this moment, we are spiritual babies, and it is imperative that we are looking to grow, to become God made men, mature, able to be effective in the task He entrusts to us .. otherwise I'm afraid it will be like the five foolish virgins, or the one who received one talent .. "out, I do not know you" ..
(Matthew 25:1-13, Matthew 25:14-30)
Can not be designed in an adult body with a child's mind .. it is with the Spirit of God, it is imperative that we study in the grow in us, so that God in all His fullness in us, but also so as not to fall into the snare of the devil, which is active to destroy us.
How to grow the Spirit of God? .. Because I do not sin, I do not cheat, do not steal, etc. I am a good christian .. but yet I do not hear God speak to me .. I speak you, of course, not me .. The answer is very simple ..
Already in the first instance, be a good christian does not mean anything, it is a bad label .. (it assimilates all these religions, because in fact, I see no difference between them ..), because all those I work with are in this case, they do not hear God speak to them .. so they have gone astray somewhere ..
Rather than christian, I would say a disciple of Jesus (he who does the will of God through Jesus) ..
In fact, whether you are in the right path, you should compare yourself with Jesus.
You doing what He is doing, are you on His feet? .. Did you feel that he is the head of your body? ..
I'll give you some examples and you can compare with you ..
Circumcision was this physical time there, but now we will remove spiritual, it is the circumcision of the heart ..
Jesus was baptized adult .. you? ..
Matthew 3:
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized by him.
14 But John forbad him, saying, 'I have need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?
Jesus was shabbath .. you? ..
Mark 1:21 They went to Capernaum. And the shabbath, Jesus went first into the synagogue and taught.
Luke 1:10 Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the shabbath.
Jesus was a priest, he taught the law of God .. and you? ..
Matthew 1:54 he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that those who heard him were astonished, saying : Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
Jesus did not eat meat, but fish, He did not drink alcohol .. and you? ..
Luke 24:42 And they gave him a broiled fish and some honeycomb. (you can read that every time Jesus ate was fish, it is never mentioned meat, unless you consider the Passover which was in Jewish tradition to eat a lamb, which accounted for the rest ..)
Proverb 31:
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor to the nobles say: Where are the strong drink?
5 lest they drink, and forget the status and do not pervert the judgment of any son of affliction.
6 Give strong to those who drink will perish, and wine to those in bitter heart:
7 Let him drink and forget his poverty, and remember his misery more.
Jesus withdrew to pray, and you ..? ..
John 6:15 And Jesus, knowing that they would come and take to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
Matthew 2:23 When he had returned, he went up the mountain to pray away; and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
Jesus was consecrated to God .. not his wife or his children or his family .. and you? ..
Matthew 12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Jesus was a witness of God, He spoke of God .. an evangelist (to save souls) .. and you? ..
John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them : When ye have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know what I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but I speak just what the Father taught me.
John 17:8 For I have given them the words which Thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent me.
Jesus denounced the evil deeds (priests or Jews in general) .. and you? ..
Mark 11:17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations? But ye have made it a den of thieves.
Okay, I'll stop there, because it was just a few examples so that you POSITIONED you, you will complete by yourself ..
So in reading these verses, you can already see your weaknesses ...
Continue ..
The Bible is there to teach the people of God, we must do as He says.
I explain in the "some lessons" in this forum, what are the key to our spiritual growth, and how to do to receive that Spirit .. How to achieve perfection ..
I simply point out what I read, and you do share .. this is not my own teaching, different from God, it's just that my eyes are open to see, understand and convey to you what God teach me.
A little more every prayer .. read ..
Daniel 10:
12 He said to me, Daniel, fear not; for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and it is because of your words that I have.
13 The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for many days.
.. In reading this passage of Daniel, we can see that when we pray, it takes some time for the blessing comes to us.
We add to this, that God gives us according to our capacity to receive.
If we are babies, God can not give us as Men fact, adults .. It is for this reason that, despite that you have read several times the same chapter, you will understand differently each time or a little more. .
Repeated prayers ..
We must pray on the same subjects, here is an example ..
When we ask God to fill us with His Spirit, God gives us this blessing. As we read in Daniel, We must wait until it happens to us.
We must continue to pray and ask God to protect the angels He sends us, that they are winning the battle in the sky, because the devil tries to prevent this happening to you .. blessing
When this blessing happens to you, it is a small dosage, because you could not bear an excessive dosage, so you must continue to pray again asking God to fill you with His Spirit, so that each time you to receive a little more of the Spirit of God, and also to protect your blessing as it passes through the heavens to reach you .. and this applies to all subjects.
As I said, the ways we learn to practice, to enable us to develop the Spirit of God, are my lessons. So you can read on this forum in the "some lessons."
They are essential for our spiritual growth, if we do differently, we lose. They are written for our perfection. There are no superfluous, nothing too much, nothing exaggerated, nothing to change ..
God gives us a path to follow, one who wants to take another voluntarily engages in difficulties and conflicts ..
You just understand how I am writing this forum, I do not write to me denies that it is not in discussions not finish on some issues, not discussion, not to end in dispute. .
You can not reply to this forum, you can just learn about some topics .. because everything I write just me God, everything I write is holy, nothing does not stain, idol, no statue, no adultery, nothing wrong .. everything I write is holy. .. be holy as I am holy (Leviticus 11:45, 19:2) ..
Leviticus 19:2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them: Be holy, for I am holy, I the LORD your God.
I'm obviously talking to brothers adult baptized into Jesus .. I explain each of these well detailed topics with Bible verses, they are mainly:
- Marriage (can be single, of course, but we can not be married to a pagan or not following God) ..
- Prayer, because if we ask wrongly, our prayer does not happen ..
- The veil for women, because it is the authority of Jesus Christ ..
- The shabbath because it is the holy day of God with His people, and how to do it ..
- Repentance, because without repentance our sins remain ..
- Feasts instituted by God ..
- Alcohol, as God's people do not drink ..
- Eat, because we should not eat anything ..
- Holy Communion ..
- And of course this issue will now cultivate the Spirit ..
So as you all are, whisper, talk about your knowledge, your good manners and so many other things, but I, by the authority of YHVH, and Jesus Christ, I am mandated to open your eyes your mind, to strengthen you .. finally!, not those who are lost, but I am mandated to strengthen elected to the Apocalypse, to get them out of the snare of the devil and religions, to remove them from the clutches of lion ..
While those who want to grow up to God and his soul, which wants to defeat evil, read what I write, and especially the doer, and he who is not interested, do not read.
Only those whom God chooses can hear and understand God ..
So if you are in line with what I write, you belong to God, YHVH, and if you understand differently, then you have a problem with God .. that's some truth ..
God bless you to understand and act on you .. Peace ..
