Praise God!Lord knows become uncontaminated in Jesus name🙏For all who read this,receive the gift of the Holy Spirit in Jesus name 🙏 Case in point was an evangelist by the name of Dwight Moody. Before Dwight Moody received this gift, he was just a “good” evangelist in getting people saved and led to the Lord. However, two older ladies at one of his meetings told him one time that he would get many more souls saved if he would just receive this gift. They told him that he was lacking God’s full supernatural power - God’s full anointing when he was preaching. After he found out what this gift was all about and then properly received it from the Lord, his ministry took off like a rocket! He led many more souls to the Lord than what he was doing before he had received this gift. I recall reading that after he had received this gift, he could not believe the difference in his preaching and the results he started to get. He said he was preaching the exact same messages that he had been preaching before he had received this gift, but many more people would come up to the altar to get saved after he had received this gift as compared to how many were people coming up before he had received the gift. He said that the power of the Holy Spirit operating through his ministry dramatically increased after having received this gift. As a result, he ended up becoming one of the greatest evangelists of all time. The difference was the anointing - and what got the anointing on his ministry was receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit! Many Christians, after studying what this gift is all about, and realizing that God can release this kind of supernatural power in their lives, will seek after this gift for the wrong reasons. They will seek after this gift to get the power of God operating through them so they can use it for their own selfish purposes and agendas. So the first step you have to take is to make sure that your motives are right and pure with the Lord. If they are not, then God will not release this gift to you. He will not allow His anointing to be tampered with or to be used for one’s own selfish purposes. You have to really want this gift because you want to be able to enter into a much deeper, personal relationship with God - and that you will now need His power and anointing to be able to flow through you so that you can fully accomplish whatever His divine destiny is going to be for your life. God will be able to read right through your thoughts and motives on all of this. If you are not sincere with Him as to why you are really wanting this gift, or you are seeking after this gift for all of the wrong reasons, God will then see right through your impure motives and withhold this gift from you until you can come to Him for the right reasons and the right motive. So the first step is that you make sure that you properly examine your motives as to why you are seeking after this gift. If you can honestly say that you really want this gift for the above right reasons, then you are now ready for step two. 2. Decide If You Really Want It
It's not " beyond grace " : Grace teaches us to deny ungodliness Titus 2:11,12 And yes , we are responsible to yield, love, obey God's command to seperate / holy , Gal 6:7,8 But God gives grace to obey Romans 1:5 ( as we are willing
That’s a reference to the Old Testament when God had strict guidelines for the Israelites. So don’t touch dead bodies, any sick people, even women who are on there monthly, and specific animals and other things…I was to keep them healthy and clean. I think it’s all in Exodus or Leviticus.
Absolutely! Of all the blood David had on his hands he is the only one God said of that David was after His own heart! That scripture is to show us the Mercy of God toward us....even those that kill and lust for He is not a respecter of persons. But as the Pastor said, we must "grow" in Holiness for that brings God close to us "personally". Sin separates us, but the Un-Merited favor from God in His Grace keeps believers us on the path of Holiness in character, not in the sense of salvation. It happens gradually over time for He is patient. Heb 6:1 "Move on to maturity! It's a process. Blessings in Jesus,
David was forgiven although there was a consequence for his action in God taking his first son away. It has always been my view, that David didn't sin because he saw Bathsheeba taking a bath. Nor because he admired her beauty, he sinned because he lusted for her. If had simply walked away after seeing her all would be well. Admire became desire and there he crossed the line. A man (or woman too) doesn't lust because of what he sees but because of what he chooses to think about what he sees.
