Who's here agrees with me that JESUS is the only Saviour the BEST and LOYAL FRIEND you could ever ask for?

[@SerenitynPeace]

Spirituality, I was dead. I could read the words of the Bible, but not comprehend. Now, I yearn to read and hear the Word of God. My joy comes from completely different sources. I know, without doubt, God has answered my pleas and provided me with peace and contentment. I cannot imagine anything more vital than growing closer to God. He is my breath and my salvation. Praise Him!

[@newhorizonslifecoachcheers]

Amen! One day, out of the blue, I understood completely how much God loves and cherishes me as I am. So I invited him to fill my heart with His Love and Heavenly Peace to overflowing. I felt his love surround me like a warm comforting blanket. I no longer worry about what anyone thinks of me. Whether they like me or not. Care about me or not. Knowing Jesus loves me by dying on the cross to save me from hell is more than enough for me! Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful (humbled and his disciples of peace). Colossians 3:15 NIV My heart is filled with so much of his heavenly peace that it overflows with heavenly love. I feel so loved and cherished. NO ONE AND NOTHING CAN EVER HURT ME AGAIN! Now, I am at peace with everything and everyone in my life. I can even forgive and bless my enemies! If you haven't already, I encourage you to invite him! He is knocking at the door of your heart waiting for you to open it so he can embrace you with Heavenly Love! JESUS SAID keep your mind on him and he will keep you in perfect heavenly peace. NO ONE AND NOTHING WILL HARM YOU WHEN HE'S IN YOUR HEART.

It does not define you! Do you know what a true identity is...or how to find it?

One way to know if you have been “born again” or “regenerate” is your relationship to sin. The unregenerate are slaves to sin. When the Holy Spirit makes us alive we are given a new relationship with sin. We can’t continue in it. Sin disrupts our peace. When regenerate people sin, they will feel like a cat thrown in the mud. They want to get out and get right with their Father. When the unregenerate sin, they are like a pig in the mud. They love it. They don’t even realize they’re in mud.

Therefore, I do not trust in my own works to go to heaven because I realize, being a sinner, I cannot offer the perfect blood sacrifice that you require to pay for sin. Instead, I fully trust, believing in my heart, that your finished work on the cross, your one perfect blood sacrifice; when you bled, suffered and died, in my place, paid for my sins in full, past, present and future ! And I believe that you rose from the dead and that you are God Almighty, God the Son, alive for evermore !!! And I fully trust that you have forgiven me by cleansing me from all sin in your precious blood, which purified my soul.

Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. -------------------------- Luk 13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Luk 13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. Luk 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

Lately I’ve been struggling with assurance of my salvation, but now I realize that the spirit of God (Holy Spirit) dwells within me because I believe the Jesus Christ died on the cross and endured God’s wrath on sin for ME! Then God resurrected and brought Jesus back from the dead to show how powerful he is and to prove that he is the messiah. Also, the many miracles of the Holy Spirit that the video describes, I’ve experienced and now know that these only take place due to the spirit and not of my own carnal knowledge, but only the wisdom God has given me. It just amazes me how wonderful God is to send his only (PERFECT) son to die for all of us sinners, then to prove his power, he rose Jesus from the dead. God is always good in every situation even if we don’t see how the pieces intersect together. Jesus cleansed me of all sins so that I could be forgiven of all my sins and be a child of his for all eternity. I’m so glad to have the BEST DADDY EVER!!!!!!! GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAVING ME BECAUSE I CANT MAKE IT TO HEAVEN ON MY OWN AND ONLY YOU CAN SAVE ME WHICH YOU DID!!!!!!

A body without a spirit is dead. James 2:26. Remedy: Accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. John 3:16. Jesus Christ, a Spirit God was birth in a body and soul thru a human Mary. Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you receive His Spirit to be a born again 'spirit' christian. John 3:3,6; the second birth. The born again spirit is holy and Temple of God indwelt by the Powerful Holy Spirit. 1 Cor. 3:16-17, Acts 1:8. This basic Christianity is the basis to conform/conclude with other verses of the New Testament Bible. Praise God. Amen.

It's the holy spirit who tells us and reveals to us the truth about God and his will into our lives... When you have the holy spirit it will reveal to you who God is and his love. And whenever you pray.. You will always feel that kind of overwhelming kind of feelings like joy and peace and security. And when that happeneds no matter how stressful or happy the situation is you can't stop your eyes from the tears. 😊

I felt his love surround me like a warm comforting blanket. I no longer worry about what anyone thinks of me. Whether they like me or not. Care about me or not. Knowing Jesus loves me by dying on the cross to save me from hell is more than enough for me! Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful (humbled and his disciples of peace). Colossians 3:15 NIV My heart is filled with so much of his heavenly peace that it overflows with heavenly love. I feel so loved and cherished. NO ONE AND NOTHING CAN EVER HURT ME AGAIN! Now, I am at peace with everything and everyone in my life. I can even forgive and bless my enemies! If you haven't already, I encourage you to invite him! He is knocking at the door of your heart waiting for you to open it so he can embrace you with Heavenly Love! JESUS SAID keep your mind on him and he will keep you in perfect heavenly peace.

People, that’s all you need is faith. Only believe. The church needs a revelation of faith. Faith is simple, only believe. Consume the word of God and your faith will grow. When you do works whatever it is, use that faith! Don’t doubt, it’s so easy and God can do so much more!

[@ralphgoreham3516]

The Greek word for spirit is "pneuma". It literally means "breath". Comes from the word pneo which means to breathe. It is in the neuter gender thus Holy spirit is not a person. Think of a pneumatic tyre or nail gun. But because it has 5 aspects in the Bible it takes on the meaning "an invisible force". EG the WIND as at John 3:8. It can be an ANGEL as at Heb 1:7, It can mean ones dominant FEELING and motivation, eg he has a happy spirit or a sad spirit. It can mean the LIFE FORCE in us as breathers. O2 and food carried by the blood. or it will mean HOLY SPIRIT. the latter has 2 manifestations. One is the spirit one gets when one obtains an accurate knowledge and understanding of Gods word and really gets the sense of it. Acts 5:32 says God gives his spirit to those OBEYING him as best we can in accord with our differing levels of faith. so requires both. The other is when one receives the SPIRIT ANOINTING, OR IS BORN AGAIN. This process is also called being SEALED , and SPIRIT OF ADOPTION. 2 Cor 1:21,22. Eph.1:13, 4:30 , Colos. 4:4--6. Paul also called it "partakers of the heavenly calling" Heb 3;1. When one has this experience he will be filled with the spirit, certainly initially, but the level wil change with the passage of time. I know readers of this wont agree the spit is not a person. I can prove this with 20 biblical reasons should anyone call for such.

[@aaronwilliams673]

Ralph Goreham So when Jesus said when the Spirit of truth is come, he will show you of things to come. There are countless verses that addresses the Holy Ghost as a person, the Spirit of God. It’s like saying the soul or spirit in your body isn’t a person. Yet without the soul you’re dead.

[@ralphgoreham3516]

@@aaronwilliams673 Hello Aaron, thank you for your response. Here are 20 reasons as promised. BTW we do not have an immortal spirit or soul in us but one thing at a time. KJV only. (1)has no name or consistant term. EG Mat. 12: 28, 31,32 Jesus "the spirit of God" , " The Spirit, The Holy Spirit. Yet Eph 3:14 tells us EVERY creature in heaven and earth has a name. (2) There are 8 visions of God on his throne in the Bible, 3 have Jesus there, but h/s =none. (3) Covered in my previous post, as you would have noted. The base meaning is "breath" and that is not a person. (4) Every analogy or comparison is impersonal. Wind, "like a dove", "as if fire", "a rushing stiff breeze", "poured out""He blew upon them saying receive holy spirit. (All Koine Greek is in capitals so it is up to the translator to decide what should be capitalized). (5) It is called Gods POWER, Greek "dynamis" at Luke 5:17 "the power of the Lord " Luke 8:46 "power went out of me", Luke 11:20 it is called "Gods finger". Luke 24:49b "but tarry ye in the city of Jerus. until ye be endowed with POWER FROM ON HIGH". (6) Romans 8:16 and 8:26 KJV both say the spirit ITSELF (NOT HIMSELF) And at John 15:26 KJV says Holy spirit WHICH proceedeth from the Father. (7)1 Thess 5:19 says "Do not QUENCH the spirit. Interlinear says "Be you not be extinquishing the spirit. Can anyone do that to any part of God? (8) John 1:1, Mark 13:32, 1 Cor 8:6, 1 Cor 11:3, 1 Tim 2:5, Mat. 24:36 are all key scriptures yet none of them include the h/s. (9) At John 17:3 Jesus said his Father was the ONLY TRUE GOD, excluding himself and h/s. (10) Acts 2:33 says Jesus "received the promised h/s from the Father". As is often the case there is no definite article "the" infront of Holy Spirit or Spirit. But with one exception in the NT, God (theos or theon) ALWAYS has the definite article in front of that title. How could one say h/s is equal to the Father as a person when like Jesus was SENT. continued

[@ralphgoreham3516]

(11) Revelation always calls it "The spirit, KJV, and we read 7 lamps before Gods throne are 7 spirits. Do you say that means 7 persons of holy spirit? (it actually means the fulness of Gods spirit given to the "Lamb" (12) why is the expresion holy spirit not in the Hebrew either as indeed is the word trinity or anything remotely suggesting such. (13) Why is the Holy Spirit never praised, worshipped, or honored as are God and Jesus, Rev 5:15,16. (14) Why does h/s never say a greeting in all the N.T letters as did "God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ." All it does is guide, teach, anoint, and is used to convey new revelation. Why? because it is not a person. (15) And, it has no loving relationship with God or Jesus as they, since there is no communication by it with either. (16) Similarly 1 Cor 3:23 "You belong to Christ, Christ belongs to God. Who belongs to the h/s and does "he" belong to anybody.? (17) There is still 1 and a half billion members belonging to , according to Google, 33,000 divisions within the Christian realm. Does it make sense that "he" dwells in all of them?. many come and go from their "Christian" course. Does that mean "he" ducks in and out of them when they stray.??? (18) Jesus alternated in John chapters 14 through 16 speaking of "the spirit of the truth" and "helper" Greek paracletos. this is in the masculine gender and necessarily caries with it Masculine pronouns "he", "him and "whom" . This was PERSONALIZATION for reassurance. He said wisdom had "children" and Paul said sin and death "rule as Kings". The prophets often spoke of hills and trees clapping their hands . continued

[@ralphgoreham3516]

(19) If one checks any Greek Interlinear the definite article "the" is not there in front of pnema, but commonly translators put it there anyway to help dress it up as a person. Especially in the early chapters of Acts. At other times they insert "He", "Him" when they too are not there. (20) Finally we see at 1 John 4:6 "the spirit of truth contrasted with "the spirit of error". So either both are persons or both are not. Also we see "the breath of God" is synonomous with the "spirit of God. Compare Psm 33;3 with Psm 104:29,30. KJV .There are more reasons it cant be a person, but that should suffice. See if you can choose a couple and refute the reasoning. or , see if you can find any verses that show we have an immortal soul or spirit.

However, if you were to press many of those people, most would be honest enough to say that they don't remember when they were TRULY saved. I'm a living testimony to this occurrence. For years. I struggled with a particular sin--I'm talking about MANY years . . . .decades in fact. I didn't have true victory over that sin until this last year. When I truly got serious about my sin, I got serious with God. With brokenness and repentance, I KNOW that the Holy Spirit has filled me because when I'm even tempted to commit this sin, I have an overwhelming conviction NOT to commit it. That is something I didn't experience before. Today, I KNOW that I'm saved--no doubt about it. I'm definitely filled with the Holy Spirt and my life has been eternally changed.

Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. Wives submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, ....Ephesians 5:22-33 And both party have to put God first in their marriage, regardless what! .... wife submit to husband. And husband loves your wife. Jesus said love one another as I have love you. Forgive one another as I have forgive you. Have mercy on others because I have mercy on you. Love your enemy and pray for your enemy. Yes Lord. Thank you for reminding us with your words. Amen..........the end.

Therefore, I do not trust in my own works to go to heaven because I realize, being a sinner, I cannot offer the perfect blood sacrifice that you require to pay for sin. Instead, I fully trust, believing in my heart, that your finished work on the cross, your one perfect blood sacrifice; when you bled, suffered and died, in my place, paid for my sins in full, past, present and future ! And I believe that you rose from the dead and that you are God Almighty, God the Son, alive for evermore !!! And I fully trust that you have forgiven me by cleansing me from all sin in your precious blood, which purified my soul.

This morning the Lord took me to 2 Timothy 2 once again. Here’s verse 19-26: 19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. 21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, [b]sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. 22 Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. 24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, 25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, 26 and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will. When I read “The Lord knows who are His”. The words, “I never knew you, depart from Me, you who practice iniquity” came to mind. So it is possible that you think He knows you, but He doesn’t. How do you know whether or not He knows you? “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity”. It’s as clear as daylight to me! And the blood of the Lamb enables us to do just that. Look at verse 25, “IF GOD PERHAPS WILL GRANT THEM REPENTANCE”, to those who say we don’t need to repent. As per verse 26, if we don’t repent and turn from sin, we have been taken captive by the devil and is doing his will. And this is when Jesus does not know us. We have to read everything in context with the rest of the Bible. So I am pleading with you, if you have been telling people that they just have to say that they believe, say a prayer and that they then have eternal security, rectify it! Jesus does not know them if they have not departed from iniquity as clearly stated above! THAT IS THE SEAL, DEPARTING FROM INIQUITY! No, we cannot do it in our own strength, but this is part of faith; believing in the enabling power of the blood of the Lamb. Not to say we’ll ever be perfect whilst on this earth. This will only happen when we see Him, but He will continue the good work that He has started until that day. God bless you all!

[@tabearoersch9783]

@@abbafatherswarriorprincess3627 thank you so much, I understand it now. But do you have an explanation for "how to receive the holy spirit"? And how can I be sure if I am saved and going to heaven? Because I am afraid that Jesus will tell me that he doesn't know me.

[@abbafatherswarriorprincess3627]

@@tabearoersch9783 All glory to God! Luke 11:13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” I would just like to mention here that I am also still learning... but I love sharing what I’ve learnt from God with my brothers and sisters :D . But we have to test everything we hear from others (even pastors etc) against Scripture with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I think this is a rather controversial subject, probably because of the different ways that the Spirit is received by those recorded in the Bible. If you have the Holy Spirit, you will bear fruit. Many people believe that if you just say the sinner’s prayer and believe in Jesus, you can continue to live the way you did before, but you’re sealed for eternity. There are so many Scriptures that contradict this. Salvation is definitely a gift because Scripture teaches that by grace we are saved through faith and not that of ourselves, lest we should boast. Once we’ve repented and truly put our trust in the Lord Jesus as our Saviour, He will put His Holy Spirit inside of us and start working in us. Philippians 1:6 tells us that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; And so… we won’t be perfect until that day that we see Him, but there will be a continuous work done by Him through His Holy Spirit. So we need to have a relationship with Jesus as opposed to religion. Allowing His Holy Spirit to search our hearts and search our minds and working in us, that is how He knows us. So ultimately, we have to believe with all of our heart that Jesus has died for our sins by His death, burial and resurrection. That the same power who has raised Jesus from the dead, lives inside of us and has the power to change us and empower us to do the will of God. Jesus said that those who believe on Him, He will in no wise cast out and His promises are true! The very best advice that I can give you, is to sincerely seek the Lord with all of your heart and He will reveal all things to you.

Wise Virgin You have made an observation that is valid. However, both Jesus & Piper can be right at the same time. Our human egos tend to draw us into either or thinking, or black & white thinking when sometimes the answer is grey. In this instance Piper seems to be speaking more generally about truly regenerated, blood washed, born again, Holy Spirit indwealing children of God. His explanation is about having the Holy Spirit vs being filled up with the Holy Spirit. The Bible also teaches about quenching the Spirit with our sin. Piper does not go into the topic you are describing about the wheat & tares, sheep & goats, elect & non-elect, false converts, etc... You are correcting that there are many over churched & under reached human souls in the church today. I was one for 35 years. As a Calvinist i interpret that as God’s plan for my life. He predestined my salvation initiation to begin at the chronological age of 35. Thank the Lord He doesn’t give up on His elect! 🙌🏼🙏🏼 It is one of our responsibilities now as converts to evangelize the world and fulfill our part in the Great Commission.

Hey Preston. The only way to truly know is to receive the gift of speaking in tongues. Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. It's something that you have to ask for. Read Luke 11:5-13. Persist with prayer until you do. Oh, and you should get baptised by full immersion. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Often people speak in tongues right after baptism, but not always so keep persisting. Also find a church that believes in the spiritual gifts and closely follow the word of God. Then you'll truly have the power of God in you. God bless

NO ONE AND NOTHING WILL HARM YOU WHEN HE'S IN YOUR HEART.
