Baptism of the Holy Spirit

Dearly beloved, there is much confusion within the church about many spiritual things, but one of the biggest is the gift of the baptism o the Holy Spirit, the spirit of the comforter, which seeks the heart of the Lord.

All Christians have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, for none can call Jesus Lord but by the Holy Spirit, however we are also offered the baptism of the Holy Ghost, our spirit being fully immersed in the Spirit of God. There is countless verses that express the gift of the Holy Spirit, and His role in the church even to today.

Jesus told the apostles they would receive power when the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they did, and it manifested in both gifts and miracles, but also in an even greater boldness and love for the Lord. Fishermen became powerful orators and preachers of the gospel. Miracles were wrought and the kingdom of God was advanced and grew.

We seek not the power of the Holy Spirit for our own glory, but for the glory of him who pours him out upon us, for the glory of God.

The Spirit searches the things of God, hears God and speaks to us, that we may better know the things of God. This is the indwelling spirit inside of us, but the baptism of the Holy Spirit takes us to new spiritual levels.

Saul received at least six things when prayed for by Ananias they are: acceptance into the church, forgiveness by the church, a new name, new vision, baptism of the Holy Spirit, and a new role. Paul always gave credit to his preaching as being in the power of the Holy Spirit, right in line with what Jesus told the church.

Peter said the gift of the Holy Spirit was for those who heard, to their children, all who were afar off, as many as the Lord will call. acts 2:38/39 in other words, the gift of the Holy Spirit is for all who believe, not for our own glory, but for the glory of the Lord, that the body may edify each other and itself. The Holy Spirit is for the edification of our own spirit, for the church, and as a sign to the nonbeliever

The best part of all of it, we have but to ask, doubting nothing, and receive from the lord with faith, and he will pour it out without measure.

Spiritually blind

We live in an age of information, virtually anything we seek can be found at the speed of light, and yet even with this plethora of access to information, majority of the people are being misled.

Even if truth is shared, it is not being received, as Christians we have to do more than share knowledge and truth, right now the soil is not even remotely close to being ready to receive the seeds of truth, the people are so blind spiritually that they are mentally incapable of seeing even the simplest truth when it is right before their eyes.

If we want others to receive truth, we have to start laying the ground work, we must prepare the soil of men’s minds, and this start first with prayer. We must win the spiritual battles, and from there we can start going for the intellectual battles, until then the blind and ignorant will remain lost.

The socially unjust left have been poisoning our children’s minds, and want to take it to the next level, and are not resting until they can manipulate the youth, turning them into mindless puppets of socialism and the state, we must fight for our children, and we must learn to pray harder and harder, and we must take all this serious, for our world is falling faster and faster, and we are at risk of losing our nation and the future wellbeing of the coming generations.

Let us all pray, pray for strength, pray for our nation and world, pray for the will of God to be accomplished and pray that we might be able to pray more. Let us remember, the prayer of a righteous man availath much. How much more shall the prayers of a righteous body of Christ avail.

Amen.

Yet another dangerous covid precedent

Recently there was a volcano eruption in the small island of St Vincent in the Grenadines. This is not the first time that there was an eruption of this volcano, however this was the first time that the government would decide the value of lives of its inhabitants based on government compliance.

We have seen for the past year how governments the world over are using the CCP virus, also known as the Wuhan Corona virus, to overreach and grab power at an alarming rate, all the while the people are compliant as it as been said it is for their own good and health. The sad reality is, these governments seek power and control, not the well being of the people, and this is perfectly shown in the DANGEROUS and dictatorial behavior seen in St Vincent.

Here we had a natural emergency, one that a hundred years ago left over a thousand people dead, and when given the chance to evacuate the people using cruise lines, their leader barred any unvaccinated individuals from leaving the island, and this message is clear, the lives of those who follow the government mandates wholeheartedly and blindly, are of more worth and value than those who seek personal freedom.

This message has been at the forefront of the global “pandemic” although far more subtle, but now has we are on the second year of our fourteen days to flatten the curve it is becoming more and more apparent that the freedoms of the people are of no consequence to any governing bodies, but only that we obey and listen to our overlords, regardless of any personal choice or freedoms, and this will only get progressively worse in the coming years unless the people decide to once again stand on the premise that we are ALL free and equal.

One name

Recently a false teacher lead America into a prayer in the name of “god known around the world by many names”, a somewhat common theme as of late as the world moves toward a single religion and government, but there is only one God, one true and living God and His word is thus.

“I am the Lord, that is myname: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” Isaiah 42:8

“… and I will not give my glory unto another” Isaiah 48:11

“For I the Lord thy God am a jealous God” Exodus 20:5

For their is only one God in heaven, and His name is the Great I Am, I AM, the LORD of Lords, the God of Righteousness, His name is YHWH, there is only one name under heaven given among men whereby we might be saved, Jesus who is the Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach, the only begotten Son of God.

YHWH chose the people of Isreal to reveal himself to unitl the appointed time when he would reveal himself to the world through His annointed one the Messiah, Jesus. They were chosen among all the nations and people of the Earth through Abraham’s faith, and were blessed accordingly, God only revealed himself to the other nations through His hand over the people of Israel, and therefore could not have been the god of other nations around the world, there is however one being whom could have, the adversary and father of lies, satan, the old serpent himself, very much could have (and did) reveal himself around the world under false names, but we have one name to turn to, and that is GOD, YHWH and HIS annointed one Yeshua.

Amen

More than conquerors

More than conquerors

Christainity, particularly in America has become a place of passivity and complacency. We see the world, and culture coming and dominating the faith and the church, we are focusing more and more on how we can defend ourselves and keep our ways, and I look and I see this, and I cannot help but feel like we are missing something.

I think of the early church, of the great heroes of the old testament, and I wonder to myself and cannot help but ask myself, where did we go wrong, how did we lose ourselves so much? We have moved past turn the other cheek, and rather we have rolled over and given away ground, ground that so many have fought and died for… but this is not who we are called to be.

Christianity was never called to a place of appeasement, Jesus never cared if he offended or overstepped on cultural norms, we are called after a lineage of warriors, whom would charge through the enemy lines to get their king a sip of water from a well, we are from a line of people who smiled as they were stoned to death and crucified upside down for their RADICAL faith in the Most High God.

We must retake our place as men and women who are willing to fight darkness, not only to defend what we have, but we must go into the enemy’s camp, we must take back the lands that have been lost to us. We are called to be conquerors, but we act not like conquerors, but as one conquered. We give and give and are brought to a place of spiritual submission and bondage, but this is not who we are.

We must become roaring lions of the Christian faith, taking the spiritual fight to our enemy, the principalities, the powers and the spiritual hosts of wickedness that permeate our world, learning to engage in spiritual warfare at all levels, until we are able to finally advance the kingdom and save our neighbors, and hopefully our nation.

Let us seek God, and turn to HIM in all our ways, that we may glorify and exalt HIM always, and pray that He raise up a generation of spiritual warriors ready to take back what the enemy stole.

Amen.

Prologue

This is the Prologue excerp from my book on spiritual warfare I hope to have published this year.

The LORD our GOD had set the writing of this down upon my heart in order that I may be able to attempt to shine some light on a topic that I believe is of the utmost importance and yet is relatively ignored by the church abroad, and there is a certain level of misunderstanding and at times fear of discussing it, particularly amongst college age Christians who face some of the largest attacks from the enemy, as such I hope purely to create a source of information designed to clarify these misgivings. It is not my wish that any individual should think that they should go seeking after spiritual battles, for it is not wise for any man to go seeking for battles and wars neither of the physical nor of the spiritual type, but it is important that we should be educated about these spiritual battles because we will find ourselves engaged in warfare at many times in our lives. There is nothing wrong with educating ourselves about spiritual warfare; in fact it is only by ensuring that we have a clear biblical understanding that we will be able to see victories in our lives over the strongholds of our enemy. In this book I look to discuss the three keys of engaging in spiritual warfare, the first being a strong biblical foundation, the next how we are to defend ourselves and finally how we are to finally become offensive and take back what the enemy has captured and put in bounds, it is our responsibility to offer the freedom of God to those who are kept in bonds.

Confounded, the wicked turn to the courts

When the people of God were returning home and rebuilding Jerusalem after their time in captivity, the enemies of the people of God turned to the king, the high court, and used it to the disadvantage of the people of God. They knew what to say and how to say it in order to get their way, how often in today’s day and age we see the wicked using the American judicial system to attack the Church, we must not be afraid to fight back, to educate and raise up our own judicial warrios to learn the law and how to defend it and our nation.

In Ezra we read how the coalition against Jerusalem, lead by Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, Rehum, Shimshai, and all their companions, had sent a letter to the new king in the first year of his reign, to the end that they may prevent this righteous act from being accomplished. They went on about the past of the city, and how powerful the jews were, and convinced the king that their work must be stopped.

This story should resonate with us and how the modern day court systems is being used to attack conservative values at all levels, especially those from a Christian background, this malicious assault on the church can only be prevented if we fight back, no longer the people who turn the other cheek when wronged, if we want to survive we must learn to fight back in the same way our enemies have been, not fighting dirty or illegally, but using the justice system, and the law to defend ourselves and our rights, that Godliness can abound.

Amen.

United, or conform?

I refuse to be united to violence, I refuse to be united to hate, I refuse to be united to the murder of babies, I refuse to be united to socialism, I refuse to be united to communism, I refuse to be united to sin, I refuse to be united to a lack of morality, I refuse to be united to the corruption of our nation, I refuse to be united to hypocrisy, I refuse to be united to rioters and looters, I refuse to be united with those who only accept their view, I refuse to be united with those who will seek further infringements upon the 2nd amendment, I refuse to be united with those who call that which is good bad and that which is bad good.

Prayer of victory

Dear Father in heaven,

Raise up a combative Spirit in your people stir our spirits to fight the good fight Lord. Breathe life into our bones, and raise an army that will give a shout, a shout of triumph that breaks walls and causes armies to fall. Raise an army of your people oh God, an army of conquerors, who will shout to the LORD of hosts! Raise an army who will take our faith out into the streets and spread your word God, that we may take your sword and spread your Gospel to all the nations.

Amen!

Seperating

God is going through a refining process, seperating those who are seeking to serve Him, and those who are serving with lip service, and are vain glorious man pleasers. In the book of Leviticus we see the teaching of seperating, seperating the sick, and the sinners from the healthy and the righteous, the idea of this was to prevent the spread of sickness from the rest of the people, not by seperating the healthy, but by seperating the sick that they may recover, and to seperate the unrighteous from the righteous that their unrighteousness would not spread, so too we must not look to seperate our healthy, but the sick only that they may recover and come back into the camp.

So many want to seperate all people right now, the sick and the healthy, and to treat all people as sick, to live in fear of diseases and death, but we are called not to live in fear, but to always serve the LORD our God, the God of the living to whom all creation sings praises.

The unrighteous and the deniers of God want to push God out of our nation, these individuals serve their masters of wickedness and push their dark agendas, but we must stand strong and stand in the gap, working for God towards righteousness.

God is seperating those who will allow governments and men to tell them when they can worship together and join in fellowship, how many believers can be together and where they can gather, from those who refuse to live in fear, but will say enough is enough I know who my God is, He is the Lord mighty and strong, the Lord dressed for battle, to whom all victory belongs.

God is using this time to seperate His people from those who only call themselves by his name. God’s people are becoming bolder in the face of these times, and stand on the verge of a great spiritual awakening. God is helping His people to not live in fear, but to say in the face of adversity and persecution we will serve our God always.

Amen.
