The Holy Spirit
Good morning brothers and sisters. I am so refreshed today. After hearing the word of the Lord and setting my soul of fire, I am refreshed in the Lord. I do however have a question, do you think the same Holy Spirit that fell on the disciples is the same Holy Spirit that lives in each of us? I personally do. Because the Lord God does not change. And in Acts 10: 44-48 tells me the Holy Spirit comes to us. Lets take a look. 44- While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. 45- And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the GIFT of the Holy Spirit; had been poured out on the Gentiles, also. 46- For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered, 47- "Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?" 48- And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days. The Holy Spirit is a gift from God. He is also called the Helper. So can we still do the things the disciples did because of the Holy Spirit? If it is the same, then why not? Because we are not on fire for Jesus. We have believed that those things are for the old. What things are you talking about Kim? Well to know these gifts we need to go over to 1 Corinthians 12:7-11. Can we still do these today? 7- But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all; 8- for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit; to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9- to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10- to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11-But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. Those things is what I am talking about. Does that just seem to radical to you? And if you believe that they are just for the disciples, then please show me God's word that commands that. When are we going to repent and ask God to split open the heavens and bring on revival. But it all starts with you and me. Repentance is the key word! Have a blessed day. Rise up, repent, pray in your secret place, and stand on the promises that Jesus Himself said He would send. Rise up child of God, rise up!
