'Be filled with the Holy Spirit'

[quietbloke]

'All we have for all You are'

 

[rocknanchor]

A candle doesn’t ask darkness for permission, saying,

“Shall I put up this specially crafted divider for you to squeeze out some of the truth from a quintizemally small ray of light?”

No, it is darkness who ask,

'Where Do You Think You’re Going?'

"What do you think you’re doing?” asked the wife as he turns right towards the nearest Church of choice 56 miles away and not the only one left in town, one of those error-straddled, tongues-talkin, ‘high and mighty’ prophesy-giving churches.

The wife hints to go to the downtown Church.

Husband, “What, Pentecostals? Are you serious? Ha, the only thing they have going for themselves is they have learned how to be pleasant.” “Have you lost your mind? You have got to be kidding me! What has gotten into you? He replies. Nervous shrug, the wife stutters,

“Nothing!”

Pulling herself together, attempts to get the whole thing off her shoulders, “Look, I, I’ve already been through enough about this while getting my hair done Friday.”

Husband, “Been through what, about the Church? I thought you and the girls from the Church we went to use the same hairdresser and agreed to car pool to the assembly we already chose?”

Wife, “We did, we did, but since the closing of our Church Monday, four ladies from the Pentecostal Church and us three had it out. Tempers began to heat up a couple of times there and I was beginning to wonder where this was going to end up.”, continuing, “but they didn’t shrug us at all and willingly invited our pastor to contact their pastor to touch on those finer points we’ve always been against. Till then, they actually began to concentrate on avoiding argument and begged and insisted we sit with them today and have lunch after church.”

So much to enjoy and explore in the Spirit!

 

[rocknanchor]

How cannot the Creator know what He has done? Therefore, it is all creation who imposes those limitations.

You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; And You renew the face of the ground. (Psalm 104:30)​

Wonderful!

 

[rocknanchor]

I don't wish to introduce differing subjects to existing threads, but when dealing with the subject of being 'filled with the Spirit', one should have a working knowledge of those things that might inhibit that from happening, otherwise known as "quenching the Spirit".

One of the most subtle forms of this I have noticed is the notion that to be spiritual, one has to detach yourself "emotionally".

Well now, isn't' that interesting? Didn't Jesus walk in the Spirit? Didn't Paul? Were they not moved with compassion of the needy, infirm such as the gentleman whom fell from the window?

I have a feeling this is imaginations run wild to think this is required.

Be mightily blessed, all who love the Lord, the truth, and being accompanied with this hope and presence.

We seek your face Lord as we ask, ,though You knew it.

We need fresh encounters with the Holy Spirit. We need to be filled with the Holy Spirit continually. Not 'quenching the Spirit' but being available and flexible and allowing Him free sway in our worship,witness and service. It will take courage and obedience. God will help us as we yield to Him.

 

[rocknanchor]

Isn't it interesting, wherever you may come across a truth, a witness, a testimony from some other time, in one way or another, when the Spirit of God works, those of us whom are so very fortunate to have seen it on display, there is one thing that really stands out for me - the condition a person is in to receive that gift or work, , in other words, the level of surprise.

From wonder to astonishment, that stands out for me as this confirms the word back to those who can see it happen right before them. There is virtually very little surprise at all. All glory to God, you can receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit!

"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you." (Isaiah 26:3)​

The fire must never go out in our souls!

I love this song, such a lovely prayer,

 

[quietbloke]

I love this song, such a lovely prayer,

Glorious!

I love this song, such a lovely prayer,

Glorious!

Amen, a sound minister, thank you dear Pilgrim!

'Let the fire fall...'

 

[rocknanchor]

Fondness for the supernatural Spirit of almighty God.

Viewed as disobedience to some, while no such forbidding resistance is found in others has for some time generated one question for me; Who is more likely to maintain the godly gesture of continuity to the other?

Seeing how successful some engage parting the church concerning the Spirit of God of all who call on His name, instead would hold back those reasons to oppose since they would even before being expressed, already be deemed disobedient and void if they aren’t backed with the full consignment to sameness of purpose God spoke of severally as brothers.

Could that day possibly ever come?

Jesus prayed 'that they may be one..'

 

[rocknanchor]

Jesus prayed 'that they may be one..'

You have to wonder, what exactly is the error in loving first? They crush the hands that reach out first in love while their parading the "truth". First love I say, first love. Yet I fear for them that it is very far removed as lovers first, far removed as followers of His example.

We love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19)​

 

[rocknanchor]

Lord, create a way in the wilderness for so many of your people whom have particular obstacles that prevents them from both being filled, and from walking in the Spirit, our glorious “Comforter”. Amen!

These may even agree with both of these terms, but finding it difficult to avail themselves, give them knowledge to lead them to your gift Lord!

'Spirit of the Living God fall afresh on me..'

 

[sunshineforJesus]

Set a fire in my soul that I cannot contain,that I cannot control I want more of you Lord,I want more of you Lord.

 

[quietbloke]

There is always more of the Holy Spirit to be filled with!
