  2. Pray To Receive the Holy Spirit

    14/03/2020

    Pray To Receive the Holy Spirit

    It says in Hebrews 12:5-11 and ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: for whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Amen.- And I am telling you have to work for it. You have to work to receive your baptism of the Holy Ghost. (Pray for it!)3x. If you want to receive it. But it is a working process.- Say this prayer right here: Dear Jesus Christ, please baptize me with your Holy Spirit so that I can prosper. Also, let your Holy Spirit empower me to live a triumphant life on the earth. Please make me an embodiment of your testimony through the help of your Holy Spirit. For in the name of Jesus Christ. I pray. Amen.- First. You must be chosen by God. And that's anyone who is a believer in Jesus Christ. You are chosen and set apart. I Peter 2:3- If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. So. It is a working process. Continue. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into marvelous light. Amen.- I Corinthians 1:21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. Amen. God gives us his spirit through Jesus Christ. Which means yes we have to work for it.- Build your faith in Jesus Christ. If you haven't already done thus. Just believing makes you anointed.- I John 2:27-29 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. The anointing that John is referring to is the Holy Spirit. He says you have no need to be taught because the Holy Spirit leads you into all truth, as the Bible says. This doesn't mean don't listen to the word of God be preached, but it means that you can know and agree to what the preachers, teachers and fellow believers say. Since we all have the same Holy Spirit in us. Also. You can keep the anointing of salvation within you by abiding in Jesus. Jesus said, remain in me, and I will remain in you. Amen.- The

    Australian Apocalyptic Fire

    Australian Apocalyptic Fire. Good morning. To everyone. Now. I will make my comment on that devastating Australian Apocalyptic Fire.- As I thought to myself. Are we near to the end times. With so many forest fires, the depleting of the Ozone Layer, Smog Alerts and the extinction of animals.- I also wonder if the whole world becomes destroyed by fire and burn up.- A poem by Dolly Parton- God Knows when the end of time will come, not some fanatic... The World will end someday, but the end Of the world and the end of time are Two different things. By Dolly Parton- Military called in to help emergency workers as hundreds of wildfires rage out of control and turn the skies orange.- Helicopters and naval vessels deployed to evacuate thousands of residents and tourists trapped on beaches.- New South Wales the commissioner says it is the worst bush fire season on record.- The Australia's deadly bushfires had began from a prolonged drought that began in 2017. The Australia's bushfires have been blazing since 2019 and from wildlife experts there are about 300,000 koalas left in the world.- Although recent cooler conditions and rain have brought some control in areas. But there are more than 50 fires that are still burning in the states of New South Wales and Victoria.- An area about the size of South Korea, estimated as 25.5 million acres has been burnt up. Though Koalas are just a step above endangered, experts say, we still are not looking at the death of the species. Yet.- Reporters say the blackness, the darkness, is like the apocalypse.- And I say what a horrific and terrible catastrophe on those koalas?

    What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

    What can wash away all my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. O! Precious is that flow. That makes me whiter than snow. No other fount I know. Nothing but the blood of Jesus.- There is power wondrous working power in the mighty name of Jesus.- Jesus has all power in his hand. We can do nothing without him. Without him. I would be nothing. Without him. I would fail. Without him. I would be drifting. Just like a ship without a sail.- Romans 1:24-32 wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient, being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgement of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Amen.- You see we have to be clean. Keep ourselves clean. God wants you clean. God wants a clean heart. He wants a clean spirit within you. Your soul and body he wants them clean. Say with me. Make me clean inside. O God. Amen.- He said in Corinthians brethren I would not have ye to be ignorant. Which means idolatry and no uncleanness.- I Corinthians 10:21 ye cannot drink the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of the devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? We must not provoke the Lord. Be mindful of him. Humble yourselves before the Lord. Because he's God and ruler of everything. All that crazy sacrifice to unclean idols. No. You make the sacrifice to him. God the Father. Despise the devil. And love God.- Jesus is power. Jesus has the power to make you clean. Amen.- Mark 1:40-42 and there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. And ad soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. Amen.- There is healing power in the mighty name of Jesus. This man became cleansed and healed from the leprosy through Jesus Christ healing power.- Mark 1:27 and they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, what thing is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him. Amen.- Jesus has power. The Holy Ghost gave it to him. Make the devil real mad at you. Rebuke the devil. You see an unclean spirit isn't good. So. You have to rebuke evil spirits out of you.- Luke 8:29 for he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness. So. Get the devil rebuked out of you.- James 3:5-10 even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire the course

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations. He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows. Amen. Nervous breakdown. Job interview. Feelings hurt. Depressed. Low self-esteem. Hold on! Help is on it's way! Hold on! Help is on it's way!- Just know Psalms 121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. Amen. When you're down and out. It's not your flesh or appearance or whatever the may say bad about you. It's all about our soul's salvation. Just keep on thinking positive. Do his work and his will. Be of the fruits of the spirit. And not of the works of the flesh.- It is a saying that sticks and stones may break my bones. But words shall never hurt me.- When you feel hurt, sad or depressed read Philippians 4:8. Think on righteous and positive things. Philippians 4:8 finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.- Deuteronomy 31:8 the Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Amen.- Psalms 34:17 the righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.- Psalms 40:1-3 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.- Psalms 3:3 but thou, O Lord, art a shield for one; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.- Be encouraged. Stay encouraged in the word of God. Know that you have a soul. And your soul is worth. What profits a man to gain the whole wide world. And then lose his own soul. Your soul has worth. Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul. Love yourself. Don't let others discourage you. Don't listen to them. Feelings hurt isn't anything. Either. Amen. Stay encouraged in the word of God. Know that you have a soul.
