Re: Have you received the Holy Spirit?
Holy Spirit in the Old Testament means: “Breath” or “Wind”.


The spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Job 33:4

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.
John 3:8
 Quoting: Seek^


A theologian would have told you the word Rua means wind Spirit or breath in the language the Hebrews used.

That is where your confusion is.

When the dry bones were made to live God Breathed his Spirit into them.

The language they used was unsophisticated. If you were there you knew from how they said it which meaning of the word they meant.

Written later and translated, often badly and sometimes it seems on purpose by the Mother Church.

The churches I was in healed people. They also cast put demons. If your church does not do this, they are not genuine.

True churches teach people to wield the same Power Jesus did. If your church does not, they are just taking your money.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79633373

No confusion. I tried to type that word above and it wouldn’t let me post hence why I omitted it. Not sure why you’re able to use it.

11 years ago I went to the LORD and asked for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. After about 40 minutes of prayer and asking for the Holy Spirit to rule and reign in His temple, my body. I felt the wind blowing over me (I was in my house). Then the brightest white light you could imagine hit me like a freight train. I immediately started feeling like I was being electrocuted, with no pain. Weirdly enough, I remember thinking I bet my hair is standing straight up. Moreover, I had no concept of time. I have no idea how long the experienced lasted. I remember saying "LORD if this continues I'm going to die". Then the experienced ended. I wish everyone could have an experience like that, it would change the world. That experience is why no man could ever take away my faith or stop me from doing God's will. It completely changed my nature and would not be surprised if something on the DNA level was completely rewritten. That is why I was prepared to die before I would allow those genetic altering vaccines into my body.

Re: Have you received the Holy Spirit?
Jesus said,

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.


Have you actually received the most holy gift from God Almighty which is the Holy Spirit?

How does one attain this priceless gift which can only be given from God?

Jesus told us.

“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Of if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”


You must come to God boldly in prayer and ask Him for it. Humbly confess your sins, repent, and just ask Him. You will be amazed, beyond amazed. The Holy Spirit is the secret to all of life. He was God-breathed and inspired the scriptures by which men were moved to pen the books of the Bible.

He is the Comforter, Counselor, and Advocate. He is also,

And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
Isiah 11:2



Have you ever heard of those stories of animals being found with for example a fishing line around their neck or being caught in a trap and being rescued? Here is an example of two.









The above is an analogy for us as human beings in this world and how each and every one of us live, fully ensnared but our impediments are not visible, that is the key difference and why so many struggle even up to the point of taking their own lives.

Do you struggle with sin? Do you struggle with lust or addicted to drugs? It doesn’t matter what it is or how strong of a hold you think it has over you. The Holy Spirit can and will conquer it with you. The Holy Spirit is the most powerful force and is of God Almighty. You simply have to let the Holy Spirit in dwell within you but only God can give this gift to you! Ask him as a child would ask his or her father for something. When you truly have the Holy Spirit, he helps to conquer the flesh but it is a team effort.

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
Galatians 5:16


The Holy Spirit is the only one who can truly free us from such bonds and only God can give this priceless gift. The Holy Spirit transforms you, makes you new, helps you conquer sin by walking in him, and gives you wisdom and understanding which equates to overall peace and happiness and eternal salvation.

Humble yourself like a child and ask Him for it and finally be free in this fallen world. I hope this message finds you well and I did my best to convey my own personal journey. God bless.

Re: Have you received the Holy Spirit?
Anyone? Christians?

What has been your experience with the Holy Spirit?

Check out this teaching from Andrew Murray regarding the Holy Spirit. He was from South Africa and lived in the 1800s. I wish the church today taught like this man. There probably isn’t a single church in 2022 America who taught like Murray and is why the state of this country is the way it is.

My sister had a similar experience years ago. This experience carried her for years in her strong belief and understanding of the bible. Now, decades later, she's find everything turned upside down. Has not been able to further her connection to the Holy Spirit, or the Father...... swears (not literally) by Jesus tho, even though her path has seemed to go wonky, and she's wondering why.

Define “holy spirit”.

Not a Google definition or some other religious website.

YOUR definition.

.
 Quoting: Zovalex

You do not know what you ask. How does one define God? The Holy Spirit is the spirit of God dispensed by Christ to His true followers on earth who have repented and follow God’s commandments. He is the third person of the Trinity.

No one can tell what is in the mind of God but the spirit of God. The Holy Spirit, once you receive His most precious gift, helps you in all facets of your life. He helps you pray, he convicts you internally and realigns you keeping you always on the right path, he helps you conquer your flesh (for without the Holy Spirit, one will always be a slave to the flesh), he gives you wisdom and understanding, and through God and Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for remission of sin he gives you eternal salvation by being born again. With Him indwelling within you, as Jesus said, you can move mountains with prayer.

One of the best ways I’ve heard it put regarding the Trinity and the Holy Spirit is this.

God is the Father and He sits upon the throne. His son Christ Jesus sits on His right hand as intercessor and mediator. Jesus lives ever to pray. Think about it, the Son Christ Jesus in all of his glory has no other work but praying. His whole being, his presence before God as the lamb who was slain is one unceasing prayer. And we read that that is the reason he can save completely, because Jesus lives to pray for us. He is the King in glory but his highest work is prayer that continually goes up to the Father, from Jesus a stream of intercession, “Father, Bless thy children, Bless my people on earth.”

And unceasingly, there comes an answer from Father, a stream of blessing. And unceasingly from the Son, there streams out a flow of the Holy Spirit to bring the blessing to us and the Spirit is in the heart of the believer to teach them what this blessing is that Christ has for them. To teach them all that is prepared for them.

Re: Have you received the Holy Spirit?
Christ said,(and this is the constant theme thought out God's word in the original text)" if you love me you will keep my commandments". What is keeping the commandments? the entrie Bible is a commandment and the only one who will strive to keep God's commandments are the ones elected for salvation at the foundation of the world when Christ made payment and demonstrated this feat at the Cross for a witness to the world of what Christ has done for His people. Faith in ( corect translation is "of")) Christ, believing, love God,etc.are the result of having been saved ( regeneration of dead spirit) first. We are born spiritually dead incapable of any spiritual response and can only come to Christ if we has been saved first. If we believe we are saved by anything we do then, it is guaranteed we are still not saved. We cannot accept Christ, believe in Christ, love God, understand His word and receive the Holy Spirit we must become saved first. How do you know if you have the Holy Spirit? The Bible says the Holy Spirit bares witness with our spirit that we are sons of God. And the evidence of this is an intense desire to do the will of God ( strong desire
in keeping His commandments), you will detest sin, a hatred for it, once you sin you are deeply grieved in your spirit, immediately repenting and turning away from sin. You realize you have nothing in common with this world and the things of this world are not important anymore. You are becoming Christ like ,and this is the will of God. If we don't exhibit these characteristics it is likely we are not one of God's elect.

Re: Have you received the Holy Spirit?
Look at it like this. Imagine for a moment or even a few minutes being present in the spiritual realm which envelops us all here on earth. We can’t see it but it’s all around us. It’s very dark in the spiritual realm here, full of demons, millions of demons who’s only purpose is to exploit us human beings in any weaknesses we may have. Their leader is Satan who directs them and the entire goal and their only purpose is the ruination eternally of our souls, they have nothing else to do. Really contemplate on this fact.

Now, just like Satan’s army, God also has an army of angels much, much more powerful than these lowly demons. The caveat being that although these holy angels are here to protect us and guard us, we ourselves have to utilize them! These angels and their duty on earth given from God is to help and protect us, that is their job. We must pray! Prayer is our strongest weapon, it’s that simple. The Holy Spirit is God and when you humbly pray and learn to pray (like a physical muscle, your prayer or spiritual muscle must be worked often to grow and in a sense, level up) with the Holy Spirit within you, this is how you move mountains and truly save souls. God then moves on your behalf. Think of that power.


The demonic are like a military order with hierarchy. These, like agents of Satan here on earth (who are humans deceived by Satan who pray in the occult and in other circles against God’s followers) are rewarded granted their rewards are finite and lead to nothing in the end but being eternally lost. Just as Satan’s demons and his deceived human beings on earth who work to mislead and destroy souls are rewarded, so too does God have his army of angels and people on earth who serve him militarily and are rewarded.

Satan mimics or tries to do everything God does in order and structure.


Think about it, what did the demon tell Jesus when Christ asked his name? The demon replied, “My name is Legion for we are many”. What is the definition of legion?

a unit of 3,000–6,000 men in the ancient Roman army.


So picture if you will in the spiritual that is all around us, millions and millions of demons that do nothing but tempt us and have us fall into sin and depression and can give illnesses and do so many horrible things to us if we do not have the full armor of God equipped and/or allow them a foothold. This is why Jesus said the road is narrow, you have to walk the narrow road watching closely all you do because you’re in a war every second you’re breathing and it’s for your soul eternally. If you allow them in, their main goal is to not let you know they are there and to spend every bit of their time tormenting you in multitudes of ways and through many different forms of afflictions. They want you to die in your sin such as simply not forgiving someone and keeping you angry at someone. That alone could potentially put you in danger of losing your soul! You have to be so careful!

Think about it, Jesus said if you look upon a woman with lust you’ve committed adultery in your heart. Think about how often and how easy it is, if you’re not spiritually aware of the true consequences of doing such, people do this today? Think about the clothes women wear as normal wear to the store?

Think about this scripture,

Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.
1 John 3:15

I mean, do you not see how narrow of a road we need to be walking here? Do you not see why Jesus said we must be born again in the spirit? The Holy Spirit is the way, you must humble yourself and receive him to make it out of here.


Lastly, and back to the mentioning of the spiritual realm, now picture in all of the darkness, a glimmering light in the sky. That is the light of God, the light of salvation and eternal life. We all must walk this walk and all are walking in the direction of the light in our lives. Always keep in mind, you’re in a battle and that light is the finish line. Just keep walking toward that light and pray every day, ask God for the Holy Spirit to help you on your walk and you will make it to the finish line. He will keep you protected and give you awareness of your surroundings, he will give you wisdom and understanding, he will give you true fear of God, and he will give you peace on your journey. Have courage and pray boldly. Nothing can touch you. For if God is with you, who can be against you?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78943551

I didn’t have an experience like that. I was praying alone in my closet. I always light a candle and pray in my closet with my Bible at hand. It gives me such a peace to be in silence and in the dark with the only light coming from a small candle, I feel closest to Jesus there and to the Father but always felt I was truly missing something. After I knew what it was and the truth was finally revealed to me ( I was missing the Holy Spirit!), I asked God if he would impart on me His Holy Spirit if it was his will. I simply asked him for this gift as a child would his father and as Jesus said we should do and I felt it immediately. I actually could hear a voice within myself for the first time immediately give me instruction. He answered any question immediately when I asked. It was unbelievable. I was repentant and had made my mind up of how fake and futile and how fallen this world is and I was done with it. I know He knew my heart and granted me this precious gift. It’s now about continuing daily in my journey and getting stronger and stronger and humbling myself daily and attuning my heart to his direction, wherever it takes me. I used to really be so worldly, just driven by my flesh in so many vices in the past. Sexual lust, females, alcohol, bars, smoking weed, just acting worldly. Granted I’ve always believed in Jesus and knew He was the only way, but I always figured I’d be saved.

It’s been quite a journey but I realize now it’s not just faith but repenting and truly being born again and this only takes place in the heart by the grace of God. In the past, I used to question where I was in life and lust after certain things in life. I realize now how ridiculously absurd that line of thinking was back then and how immature and spiritually dead I was, literally dead. I realize my life has been planned out for me since the beginning and God has been with me this entire time like a father with a toddler helping the little babe along. I realize my little family I have now and all the amenities I have currently is all I could ever need and am so blessed, beyond blessed to have what I have to continue you this journey which in actuality is a war with my family by my side. I now want for absolutely nothing, his grace is sufficient. I also realize what lies ahead is so much greater and I look forward to the wonders ahead!


I just want to help others get to the finish line as well and to never lose hope. It’s a war every single one of us are fighting. We all need each other. Satan wants division, the last thing he wants is unity. The best way to fight him is with prayer and praying for others. Pray for those you see stabbing some poor shop owner in some news article or video. Pray for those teens stealing from an elderly person that they will repent and see the path their on and where it leads. Pray for the souls of these terrible abusers of children, women, and the innocent that Jesus may move their hearts through the Holy Spirit and they will have a check in their consciences and stop completely hurting others. These types of changes can and do happen every day through prayer!

Pray for those who today will die across the world whether it be on their death bed or in a car accident and pray for any and all that if it be God’s will, that they may have a thought to accept Jesus into their hearts before their final breath. Pray for others, your prayer can and does save souls. It’s your greatest weapon.

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Re: Have you received the Holy Spirit?
The scary thing is.....what if you were tricked, and this so called "holy Spirit" was really not holey, but satanic.
 Quoting: Slipknotz


The Holy Ghost will only verify Jesus Christ as Lord...

If what you think is the Holy Ghost within you tells you that you are Jesus or your your own god etc then you have what is called ANOTHER Jesus and ANOTHER spirit... if this is your situation, its not too late...

But if you chose not to then the Word tells us that we may bear with it... the false ghost and Jesus that is.

Re: Have you received the Holy Spirit?
Christ said,(and this is the constant theme thought out God's word in the original text)" if you love me you will keep my commandments". What is keeping the commandments? the entrie Bible is a commandment and the only one who will strive to keep God's commandments are the ones elected for salvation at the foundation of the world when Christ made payment and demonstrated this feat at the Cross for a witness to the world of what Christ has done for His people. Faith in ( corect translation is "of")) Christ, believing, love God,etc.are the result of having been saved ( regeneration of dead spirit) first. We are born spiritually dead incapable of any spiritual response and can only come to Christ if we has been saved first. If we believe we are saved by anything we do then, it is guaranteed we are still not saved. We cannot accept Christ, believe in Christ, love God, understand His word and receive the Holy Spirit we must become saved first. How do you know if you have the Holy Spirit? The Bible says the Holy Spirit bares witness with our spirit that we are sons of God. And the evidence of this is an intense desire to do the will of God ( strong desire
in keeping His commandments), you will detest sin, a hatred for it, once you sin you are deeply grieved in your spirit, immediately repenting and turning away from sin. You realize you have nothing in common with this world and the things of this world are not important anymore. You are becoming Christ like ,and this is the will of God. If we don't exhibit these characteristics it is likely we are not one of God's elect.

Well said and is why I started this thread. It’s amazing hearing different viewpoints, different scripture, and different personal testimonies. It’s all about learning and growing in your faith and helping others to do the same. It’s figuring out how all of this works.

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

1 John 4:6

We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
 Quoting: Osmium76


But how do you answer without quoting scripture? But rather from personal experience. What does your personal relationship with Jesus look like, and how does the Holy Spirit work through you? This is what people need to know and hear. Everyone knows the scriptures already, but very few can witness the demonstration of those words in the lives of others.
 Quoting: Satyarevs


What I believe or not has no bearing on anyone else. I am no ones else's personal savior. The best anyone can do to model the presence of the holy spirit within them is to live peaceably alongside their fellow man without corruptions that would inhibit such.
 Quoting: Osmium76


100%

Is it your understanding that only Christians can receive the Holy Spirit? Or have you witnessed that non-christians can also demonstrate this lifestyle.

Re: Have you received the Holy Spirit?
Anyone? Christians?

What has been your experience with the Holy Spirit?

Check out this teaching from Andrew Murray regarding the Holy Spirit. He was from South Africa and lived in the 1800s. I wish the church today taught like this man. There probably isn’t a single church in 2022 America who taught like Murray and is why the state of this country is the way it is.


 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51432683


does one have to be christian to be filled with the HS? If so, why?

And how has your life changed after being filled with the HS?

OP as well.
 Quoting: Satyarevs

Yes, one must be a Christian but the difference being is anyone can call themselves a Christian. A true Christian is the difference in that a person must truly repent and not go back to willful sin. This is why God truly judges the heart and wouldn’t give such a holy gift if the person was not ready. That’s just my opinion. When you receive the Holy Spirit, it changes you forever. You have zero desire to sin. None. You know the futility and stupidity in sin and that it leads no where. God rewards you when you repent!! Trust me, He rewards you big-time. Giving up the flesh is extremely hard, He knows this as He made you. The best way to worship God is to give up the flesh! He doesn’t want you to just say you love Him, prove it.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
Romans 1:21

Would you put your hand on burning orange grate of a gas grill on high? No, because you know that it’s going to hurt you badly and you know how long it’s going to take to heal that burn to get your hand back to normal and you also know it’s going to leave a scar. It’s the same analogy with sin when you’re born again. Sure, a person could go on and willfully sin and maybe have fun for a brief bit (in all actuality, you won’t have fun because you’re no longer your old self) but afterward, if they truly are in Christ, will find themselves in sheer disappointment and shame for it because the Holy Spirit will convict their conscience and heart and the person realizes they’ve willingly hurt God and let him down.

It’s pointless and leads absolutely no where and only hurts you, there’s zero point to it once you’re awake. You’re different, be prepared to look at everything differently. Be prepared to lose friends and even family members. It’s all good though, you’re leveling up. God is sending you blessings and this will become obvious to you as you grow in hindsight.

For example, I no longer look at a female walking by scantily clothed who may be drop-dead gorgeous as I used to. I now pity her and will even send a prayer up for her. That’s the difference of me then and now.



For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Hebrews 10:26-31

Is it in the mail? I haven't received the holy spirits yet. Did you send it hazmat? Shipping must have been expensive.
