I know that we all have the same spirit in us.
Well, we BELIEVERS, who BELIEVE in our Lord Jesus Christ are all suppose to have the Spirit of God within our spirit, but that isnt so, because: Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? 23 And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness! (Matt. 7:21-23)
You see mate, many whom you believe have the same spirit are mentioned in despatches above, and have the WRONG spirit. They are rebellious to HIS WILL, because they practice lawlessness.
What frustrates me is how some people the Holy spirit Just manifests for and tells them things and shows them visions but for the rest of us its like prying a safe open to get to him.
For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand. (Mark 13:22-23)
Now, if we are THE ELECT, then we wont be seduced or deceived, because we: know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men (an women) will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty (proud), lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (2 Tim 3:1-7)
Now if we understand these verses then we will see through the falsehood of those who express all these things that you desire: But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (James 4:6-8)
We can see that our Lord Jesus Christ rejects PROUD people, and gives GRACE to the humble.
We can also see that by our submission to our Lord Jesus Christ is our expression of FAITH. Are you FAITHFUL?
When we resist Satan and his forces, we are FAITHFUL. Are you FAITHFUL?
When we draw near to our Lord Jesus Christ, we are FAITHFUL. Are you FAITHFUL?
When we cleanse our hands and purify our hearts by not being conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind (head and heart) that we may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect Will of God (Rom. 12:2, then we are FAITHFUL, and then you will open that SAFE.
I don't understand because i have sought the Holy spirit, i mean for people like benny hinn and this isn't a debate on wether you think benny hinns false or not.
Please dont use him as an example!
But Like in other countrys or certain people just seems like the holyspirit just consumes them.
Well mate, you need to be very wary, because Ive always found that the only ones who appear to be consumed, are consumed, but by a counterfeit.
But it feels like its for a select few, only who God wants to have it because man i've been seeking it and have asked God for a manifestion of the holyspirit, but its like everytime i ask its like nothin.
Mate, Satan and his forces will gladly give you your hearts desire, just like all those other people who you seem to be looking up to as an example of godliness.
Be aware, beware, and dont be unaware of all these people who seem to express this form of godliness.
What you may feel is that you are different to the rest and have to pry His Kingdom open to get to HIM. Well mate, this is big fat LIE, from the "father of lies".
Mate, this week away from the forum, HE has put upon my heart the UNBELIEF that is within the Body of Christ.
There is NO select few whatsoever, as you assume.
Be very wary about asking HIM for manifestations, because like those who believe they are in touch with the Holy Spirit are being fooled, seduced, and deceived. Test ALL SPIRITS!
But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (James 4:6-8)
Many believers dont really believe as much as they are to believe. They allow UNBELIEF to come into their life, and their PRIDE normally controls their UNBELIEF. And as sad as it is, we all tend to have UNBELIEF of PRIDE. We dont see the PRIDE that is in us, nor in others.
Our Lord Jesus Christ rejects PROUD people, and gives GRACE to the humble. And we submit to our Lord Jesus Christ and through our submission we are expressing our REAL FAITH.
Many, are seduced and deceived by the doctrine of demons, and their pride overwhelms them believing they are being used by our Lord Jesus Christ, when in fact they are being used by the enemy.
When we resist Satan and his forces, and submit to our Lord Jesus Christ, then the roaring lion will flee.
When we draw near to our Lord Jesus Christ, then HE will draw near to us. Dont be fooled by the form of godliness that others appear to convey.
When we cleanse our hands and purify our hearts by not being conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind (head and heart) that we may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect Will of God (Rom. 12:2, then we will see how false those people are.
The sad thing about it, my dear brother, we are taught the wrong way, and the wrong way is the false way, that open gate to destruction! How can so many believers be so wrong?
Our BELIEF, isnt just merely thinking that our Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Our BELIEF is the expression of our faith in whom HE is. HE is the abundant river of life, who is our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God: The water that I shall give him shall become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life (John 4:14).
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the bread of life, and we feed on HIM through HIS WORD. When we BELIEVE and FEED, we will then get nourishment and satisfaction from HIM by our belief in HIM.
Dont badger and berate yourself, you are no different to any other true-blue believer. Be very aware of falseness and lawlessness.
