I don't think I need to. Like I said, he only had one point I disagreed
very much with. Obviously we filter all things through our prior 'screen POV'.
I understand the difference between an 'anointing' and an 'appointing' and 'callings and commissionings' and 'soulish talents vs spirit giftings'. Yes, David was 'anointed' king as a boy, but never appointed (with power of the 'kingdom's crown) until a man years later. I still think 'our kingdom
rulings' are still subject to 'His kingdom
sovereignty'. IOW a '
word from Him' to move in 'faith' and not 'presumption'.
OK here we go. Which
Holy Spirit/holy spirit, and what power? I believe upon your spirit being born anew into the
holy spirit of Christ in you, you have all the authority and anointing/power (of YOUR will) to walk in sinlessness, just like Jesus did. And then, when you receive the baptism of the
Holy Spirit you have another anointing to be used whenever the Holy Spirit wants to manifest His gift through you "
as He wills", but not '
just as I will'. This POV lines up with that of Jesus who only 'said' and 'did' what He heard the Father 'saying/doing'. Jesus did this because 'His will' was surrendered to the Father's will. And the Father spoke in FELLOWSHIP with Jesus authorizing Holy Spirit POWER and not just based upon their RELATIONSHIP (the Christ spirit in Jesus). Otherwise I just feel like we are assuming the throne of God, instead of acting as priests for God's throne.
Here is where scripture confirms my POV again, I think. Scripture talks about having "
faith IN Jesus", but it also talks about having the "
faith OF Jesus". And where does '
faith' come from? Is it not by '
hearing a word from God'? That's what Jesus said he does and that's what we need to do also IMO. If we exercise 'unlawfu/
lawlessnessl' authority and power I believe it is those '
healings, deliverances, etc.' which we will receive no 'rewards' for on the day of judgment for our 'works'. Even those those who were healed and delivered are healthy and free. We exercised a 'good thing' by the power of God, but it wasn't a 'God thing' concerning His FELLOWSHIP with us. Kind of like 'borrowing' dad's credit card without asking. Same 'relationship' last name on it, but not the 'fellowship' of using it with dad's approval.
I now remember, we've talked about this before now. And I remember asking you in our first meeting concerning this point. You do not capitalize 'holy' but do 'Spirit' here. I thought then, that it was because you might have had an understanding similar to me. But now I'm not sure why you do it that way. Can you explain your reasoning? To me it is either 'holy spirit' or it is 'Holy Spirit'.
Once again, now you say 'holy spirit' which is the spirit of Christ received at the new birth. The same spirit ALL Christians receive at their new birth. The same authoity/power we all have to get free of sin personally. I'm not asking that you agree with me on this, but hopefully you do see where I'm coming from as I understand things.
Christ dwells in hearts by faith therefore if we increase faith.
GAL 4:19 My little children (immature believers), of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
Our paths and callings are different, which is OK. God has different ways to accomplish His goals through those who 'diligently serve HIM' with our varied 'callings' and 'talents' and 'giftings'.
