About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"THE PROMISE OF HOLY SPIRIT" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE MEANS WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT THE "PROMISE OF THE FATHER"? THERE ARE SO MANY PROMISES IN THE BIBLE AND SOME PEOPLE JUST SKIP OVER THIS ONE. THIS PROMISE I AM WRITING ABOUT IS HOLY SPIRIT. BELOW ARE THREE VERSES ON THIS.
LUKE 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
THIS POWER IS HOLY SPIRIT.
THIS POWER IS HOLY SPIRIT.
ACTS 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. AGAIN, THIS IS SPEAKING OF HOLY SPIRIT.
ACTS 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. FROM THIS VERSE YOU CAN SEE HE IS SPEAKING OF HOLY SPIRIT (OR HOLY GHOST WHICH TWO ARE THE SAME) IN THE FIRST TWO VERSES.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS BECAUSE THESE VERSES ARE TALKING ABOUT JESUS' DISCIPLES NOT LEAVING JERUSALEM UNTIL THEY RECEIVE HOLY SPIRIT. SINCE THESE DISCIPLES EVIDENTLY WERE BELIEVERS AND WERE BAPTIZED, WHY WERE THEY NOT BAPTIZED WITH HOLY SPIRIT ALREADY? ACTS 1:5 SAYS " For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence."
SOME TEACH THAT WE WERE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF HOLY SPIRIT WHEN WE WERE BAPTIZED BUT IT SEEMS THERE IS A SEPARATE BAPTISM WITH HOLY SPIRIT WHERE YOU RECEIVER A PRAYER LANGUAGE OR GROANING'S IN THE SPIRIT. I WILL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU AS TO WHAT YOU BELIEVE ABOUT THIS. I AM JUST PUTTING FORTH WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. I HAVE A PRAYER LANGUAGE AND USE IT WHEN I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRAY. ROMANS 8:26 HAS A GOOD EXPLANATION ABOUT THIS WHICH IS "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered."
SPEAK IN TONGUES OR DON'T SPEAK IN TONGUES, THAT IS BETWEEN YOU AND HOLY SPIRIT. HE TELLS US TO ASK, SO ASK HIM WHAT YOU SHOULD DO. HE WILL TELL YOU BUT WHAT EVER HE DOES TELL YOU, DO IT WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH IT OR NOT. HE IS NEVER WRONG.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
THANK YOU WAYNE. I DON'T THINK ENOUGH ATTENTION IS GIVEN TO HOLY SPIRIT. HE IS OUR COMFORTER AND WILL TEACH US IF WE ONLY WILL ASK. THANKS AGAIN AND YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND. GOD BLESS YOU.
Thanks for covering this topic David. May God bless you and be with YOU today.
