Which is what devils do. The holy spirit is there to teach, instruct, and bring the word of God to mind. Cooperate with God by purposing your heart to follow his ways according to what's written and don't get sidetracked by people who are seeking experiences. |

But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him. == 1 John 2:26-27 25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. == John 14:25-26 |

Every Christian should know the answer to this as it's the core of Christian belief. I'm just wondering if the problem you are having is a question of belief. Do you read the bible? Ask for an infilling of the HS if you really are a believer and see if He comes. Read Acts 19 "It's a friendly friendly world" (Andy Kaufman) Calm seas do not a sailor make, Nor easy horses, a horseman.

User ID: 58465584 Canada 07/03/2022 11:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am a Christian in the sense that I believe Christ died for my sins and I am told I am indwelled with the Holy Spirit but I do not fill filled with the Holy Spirit. How does one know for sure? I still sin and ask for forgiveness.. I want the Holy Spirit to possess me. Quoting: TheWorldsEnemy Too me daily bible reading is important, also avoiding sin. If you repent a sin and then do it over and over again "their remain no more sacrifice for sin" (heb 10 26-31 kjv). Its mostly where your heart is, if you are trying to change from your sin but are stumbling is one thing, but when you blantantly sin thats no good. There is a spiritual law at play, when we sin we bring evil spirits into our lives, when we have evil spirits in our lives the Holy Ghost departs from us as it wont be in our house of demons. When we repent sins to Jesus, we can command any evil spirits to leave in Jesus name. Its truly spiritual warfare, so you want to keep your temple clean so the Holy Ghost will come upon you. I could be doing everything right and be filled with the Holy Ghost, but if i go out tonight and choose to sin against the Holy Ghost and Jesus commandments, i will take demons in my life and a wall will build between me and Christ. To remove the wall, i must repent my sins and command any evil spirits to leave in the name of Jesus Christ, and turn away from the sin, or my forgiveness and grace i received may run out. Praying daily, more times the better, reading the bible daily....when the pray, ask Jesus to shield you from Satan and to strengthen you in faith and knowledge. There are lots of snares in the churches these days, so beware of idoltary. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 83275406 United States 07/03/2022 11:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Have you ever had a Christian give you the gospel? People can't pick up the Holy Bible and get themselves saved if they've never been brought to the crossroad to understand and then accept or deny Jesus Christ But if you are saved, you feel the Holy Spirit by letting God be happy with you.. That is, separate from the world. Put an end to sinful habits. Educate yourself to God's ways through the Bible. Pray. Tithe your money. Go to church to worship, fellowship, find strong role models, find a close friend, find a spouse Be that reborn Christian in front of the spiteful world. Shine your light, make effort to do good works and you yourself should be giving the gospel message to people I think all of these are critical to being a Christian that God is happy with - and critical to staying in touch with the bedrock peace and joy that is needed to rest |

Quoting: TheWorldsEnemy Read the word and grow, sometimes you might notice the bible "speaks" to you, you can hear God speak trough people aswell, you get wisdom and light noone can say anything against and you notice it easily if you engage in debates because before you could be wrong since you didnt have the spirit of truth, but now you do. And if its something you dont know the answer to right away, God will give you the answer either trough revelation or show it to you if you search - he will lead you to ALL truth. Sometimes the Holy spirit can a bit like when you before you were saved was walking around in a dark room, you couldnt see anything but the Holy spirit is the light that shines up the room so now you can see everything. I had this right away when I got saved, if i had a question i got the answer on the first page i randomly opened the bible at and looked, and it was like that over and over, it was like God literally SPOKE trough his word. I was shocked in a good way, how God does this I dont think can be explained, its a miracle. The WORD is ALIVE.

God will knock on your heart, and you have to let him in. Theres so much to get out of the bible, wisdom you can take with you for anything, and so much freedom (from condemnation, from lies, and other things bothering you), AND you communicate with God. Its hard to read the bible at first because YOU will read passages and feel condemned or a bit nervous, but after a while it gets easier reading the bible and what used to condemn you you will suddenly see is good, and you start seeing what reading the bible actually does, the spiritual truths there will become reality in your life. It may take a year, or even two or three, but you will get there. I read daily and I think thats important.
