1 | Can non-Christians be in praise band? | Bible general Archive 1 | amadeuse | 37220 | ||
here is the answer- this will come as a surprise to many 'devout' christians. You must know what God accepts as worship. In the old testament, only the annointed priests could offer incense and sacrifice to God, and had access to the HOly Of Holies. IN the same way, only people who are annointed with the Holy Spirit can worship God properly. 'Praise is beautiful in the mouth of the Holy". 'They that worship God worship in SPirit and in truth'. Christians think that God is flattered when we say and sing good things about HIm. The truth is singing or saying good things about God will not cause Him to do good things for us. It is the worse insolence as well to worship God in words and song, but refuse to obey Him. God is worthy of praise, but He is even more worthy of obedience. NOn believers, and even believers waste thier time when they think they are worshiping GOd, because they are singing or saying good things about Him. They are doing nothing but attempting flattery. For one thing, God gets better songs from the angels, secondly, he knows He is great, so our saying or singing it does not move Him. Besides, we are not qualified to evaluate God, because we are not even fully capable of understanding His Greatness. To please God, we should obey Him in every aspect, which requires the HOly SPirit. Many Christians ignore the need to have the Spirit and think it is okay to worship GOd without THe Spirit. When the annointed worship God, the Holy Spirit gives them utterance. They pray in tongues for one thing, and the Spirit which is more enlightened, prays for the proper things. Christians should pray for the annointing of the Holy SPirit. The HOly SPirit also gives them spiritual songs to sing. The Holy worship GOd, not out of a sense of duty, or an attempt to move God to bless them, but out of irrepressible joy, because the HOly SPirit reveals God to them and His magnificence is something they can truly experience, so they can't help but respond in Praise. It's different from using your imagination to try and concieve of God, whereas with the Holy SPirit's revelation, you really are in presence of God. So you 'worship in Truth'. Without the Holy SPirit, christians worship and obey God by thier own human potential. That is why Christ sent the HOly SPirit, so that we can do more as a church than 'talk' about God, so we can demonstrate his Power and SPirit, by healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out demons, prophesying etc. But Christians today are content to do canned food drives, visit nursing homes and make up good sounding songs. They also believe that spreading the Gospel worldwide is how we have done 'greater' the works Christ said we would be capable of after he ascended. All that they have spread is information, knowledge about God. Just like pop music, or regular news is spread through travel and use of technology. Without the Holy SPirit, we cannot give or get access to the Kingdom of heaven. We have failed to meet the standard of Holiness Christ set, which requires empowerment of the HOly SPirit, whose presence is demonstrated in acts of physical and spiritual power. It is absolutely essential, and not an option to have the HOly SPirit when worshiping God, and to serve properly. Read 1Cor - But my preaching was not by persuasiveness of human wisdom, but by demonstration of the SPirit and Power- ALso- 'When i shall come, i shall know thier power. FOr the Kingdom of heaven is not in word but in power. in 1 Thess 1:5- I did not come to you in word only, but in power and in the Holy SPirit, and in much assurance as you know what manner of man I am among you. Christians today out of doubt, compromise the word of God, interpreting it in light of thier human capabilities. They do not pray for God's Holy SPirit, which is what will reveal the mysteries of GOd to them, and give them real, substantive power. They rely on what they can grasp, and accomplish by thier own spirit, being satisfied to obey by their own human focus, and serve by thier own hands. Christ requires more than this, and the church will not have power in the world until we reach for this. It is arrogance to think we can worship God by our own human skill, not the enablement of the HOly SPirit. Non believers are just making music when they are in a praise band, and so are christians that do not have the annointing of the Holy SPirit. |

2 | Similarities of Moses and Jesus? | Bible general Archive 1 | amadeuse | 35344 | ||
The church is lead by men who do not have the Holy Spirit, who think that going to seminary is what qualifies them to teach others about God. They are not annointed by the Holy Spirit, Which is necessary to know and serve God. They rely on thier intellect to create sermons for the church and thier own commitment to be obedient. Without the Holy Spirit, you cannot worship God acceptabley, that's why it says they that they that worship God worship in spirit and in truth. It also is written that the kingdom of God is not in words but in power. When the request for power is made, people say many falsely modest things like, oh- Love is more important than miracle working to explain away thier unbelief in Gods power, because not having the Holy Spirit, they don't even begin to know how to acquire it. We are arrogant to think serving God by our own willpower, rather than through the enablement of the Holy Spirit is satisfactory. So we are satisfied that regular church going and praise and doing good things to the less fortunate and constant Bible study is what will lead us to the kingdom of heaven. They do not seize hold of the promises of God for power to heal, raise the dead, speak in tongues, and generally do greater things than Christ. They ignore the standard Christ set, and are content with seeking God through study, but not seeking to gain His Holy Spirit. This is why the church has no power. We should have love and power. In fact, it is impossible to love adequately if you do not have power to help the people you love. So the power of God is necessary to have and Christians should stop dismissing it with explanations like- oh, God no longer does miracles these days, or it is not God's will for someone to be cured of some disease. God does not benefit from the death of mere men, and after Christs death, we are to be freed of all bondages, so it is falsehood to say that God isn't willing for someone to be healed. It is time so called leaders try to lead people to get the Holy Spirit, instead of going on and on and rephrasing the same teachings in the Bible year in and year out, not seing any transformation or power in the members themselves. It is good for the people of God to have Power. Some people warn that it is leading people astray to rely on signs and wonders, not love and obedience. Moses did wonders against the magicians in Herods court. Anyone who claims to represent God, must have the power of God, which comes from the Holy Spirit. It is just excuse making to be content with serving God by our own human potential. |

I know, isn't that fascinating!! I also think the 40 years spent in the wilderness is a metaphor for how long it takes Christians these days to enter 'The Kingdom of Heaven'. Christ said the Kingdom of heaven is available now, and has already come. The Christians in the old testament spent fourty years going around and around, never entering the promised land, whereas it is said the trip could have taken as short as a few days if they had been obedient. IN the same way, we spend our lifetime, never entering the Kingdom, not even knowing what it is, just dwelling in a material, mortal frame of mind, believing heaven is available after we die. The old testament story of Moses is very much a shadow of what the Christ would bring, everything from the Worship tents that were established, with the inner sanctums, and so forth and the promised land representing heaven. I personally believe that heaven is accessible to people that have the Holy Spirit, but we are all caught up in this false modesty, which is nothing but unbelief in God, so we believe that Power and access to God is no longer available. Christianity is so dull, because the power and the truth in it has been put aside, for doctrines and reasoning of men, men who rely on thier intellect to understand scripture, instead of seeking to recieve the Holy Spirit of God to lead them. |

4 | your argument proves my point! | Heb 1:1 | amadeuse | 15673 | ||
I am admonished by the Spirit of God to be mindful of what I write here. Since I testify of the Spirit of God, I must not say anything that will cause others to speak ill of that Holy Spirit that has annointed me. Bill is the only one that gets the point of my original post, that the Holy Spirit is available now to give Revelation and power and eternal life to the saved!. The rest of you chose to digress to making acusations about my character, which reveal the shortcomming of you the accusers. Not believing what i said is possible, you conclude I am decieved, and trying to elevate myself. Just like the pharisees accused Christ of blasphemy when He testified about knowing God, they not believing that to be possible attacked Him. So what if i brag about being in contact with the God of the universe. That is truly something that is amazing . God alone is worthy to be boasted of. You who call yourselves Christians should know that power and eternal life and heaven is now. Christ said he went to the Father so he could send the Spirit to transform us, intercede for us to God, that we might be able to do greater works than even He did. 'He', raised the dead, walked on water, healed the sick, had eternal life in Him, delivered people from bondage of satan. We are expected to do this and more, by enabling of the Holy Spirit. But we forsake this, settling instead for a lower standard of holiness, which consists in disciplined church going. we also believe the dilligence of this human searching is tantamount to 'worship' . The truth is w/o the Holy Spirit, it is not possible to worship God. We believe that dilligent 'christianity' will be rewarded by entering heaven 'after we die'. The truth is, if you have the Holy Spirit, not only do you not die, but you are led to the Kingdom of Heaven within you now!. You are imbued with power and grow from glory to glory now. Then there are others who say, it is not about having power but love. But the love they speak of here is a mere human striving to will and do good to others. The Love as enabled by the Holy Spirit, is the Essence of God, manifest in the saved, it's a refreshing, restoring 'Power' that transforms all things to the glory of God. It is why when you touched Christ you healed. That Love is not mere desire, but the restoring Essence of GOd. Without the Holy Spirit, that Love is not possible to manifest, NOlan Keck. It is written, 'NO one can say 'Jesus is Lord' except by the Spirit', 'They that worship God, worship in SPirit and in truth' 'praise is beautiful in the mouth of the Holy'. These things mean that without the Holy Spirit, even our 'worship' is not acceptable to God. The so called 'sacrifice of praise' people sing, is a mere use of words to try and persuade God, which is futile w/o the sanctifiying of the Holy Spirit. It amounts to nothing more than attempt at flattery. It does not cause you to be blessed to merely speak well of God, even though you feel good, and are sincere about it. When the annointed say 'Praise God',it is from the revelation of God's magnificence that the Holy Spirit gives to them. That 'worship' is in spirit and in truth. The speech of the annointed also has spiritual impact, it causes the Holy Spirit to manifest, make the environment Holy. Like God did not accept sacrifice from anyone in the old days but the annointed priests, so the worship of those that are not annointed do not have impact. Without the Holy Spirit, you are not a member of the body of Christ, even if you attend church dilligently and sincerely. YOu can also not be of any good to the body, to edify it with advanced mysteries, heal them, free them from death and hell. YOur so called 'membership', 'fellowship' and 'service' is just in human terms, and to human emotional or physical needs, Steve and Nolan. If i have provoked you people, It is well that i should. You should all be wondering why it is you do not have the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and are not growing in power and knowledge and virtue like Christ who is our example did. The Holy Spirit is what grafts you to Christ, so that you bear fruit., ie prophecy, eternal life, power to heal, Holy transforming Love.It's not optional. Some also believe they are saved by 'relying on the sacrifice of Christ'.Christ sacrifice was so that He could be the Final Sacrifice, and have power to intercede for you. But you are not in Christ by believing in the power of His sacrifice, but by recieving His Holy Spirit in you to sanctify you. The prophets of old died before Christ was sacrificed, yet they entered heaven anyway b/c they were sanctified by GOd. Seek the annointing. Fast, call upon the Name of the Lord. Charis, the Name is Yaweh. Bill, you are right, eternal life is now, and so is power and revelation and acess to heaven now, by the Holy SPirit.This is the true good news and the power of the gospel that should be preached. |

5 | The dream was from God? | Heb 1:1 | amadeuse | 15447 | ||
Not sure if this response is in regards to the posting i made on 9/6 about having dreams about GOd. The passage you quoted about 'these last days' has a contextual relevance. It was an apostle who wrote that, in Hebrews, someone who existed at the time Christ was in the flesh. SO of course during those times, Christ who is the word of God, was source of God's revelation, because He is the perfect expression of The Word of God. Anyway, that same Christ says that it is the Holy Spirit that will come later to reveal all things to believers, including knowledge of Him. Also see ephesians 1:17. You are not supposed to be taught from preachers over and over, who contrive things from the limited resource of human intellect, not powerful revelation from God. They teach the same things over and over, principles the unsaved will understand but not be able to practice, and that the saved already have outgrown. It is time for Growth in God, which is caused by having the HOly Spirit, not from hearing sermons. Christ did what He saw the Father do, Who dwelt in Him, and Christ said He and the Father will make thier abode in the believer, to bring the believer to all knowledge. It is time to believe in the power of God, and my dreams and revelations show are evidence of what it said in the scriptures should happen to they that have the Holy Spirit. |

6 | your argument proves my point! | Heb 1:1 | amadeuse | 15445 | ||
the verses you cited just further stregnthened my claim. Of course during the days of the apostles, God spoke through Jesus Christ, instead of some lowly human prophet. Of course Jesus Christ was the word of God in flesh, so why would God reveal anything to anyone except to Him in the days He walked among the apostles. And that same Jesus said it was important for Him to go to The Father so He could send back the comforter, who would come to teach believers and reveal God to them. Read the following JOhn 14: 26-27 " But the Helper, The HOly Spirit, whom the Father will send in My Name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your rememberance all that I said to you". Joel 2:28 I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and daughters shall prophesy. Your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams... before the glorius day of the Lord shall come... ephesians 1:17-that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of HIm'. Again somewhere it is written' They shall be taught of God'. Throw away your tired notions of holiness. The word of God is true as it says, that it is the Holy Spirit that reveals God to men. From your reaction, you have never experienced God so truly, and your growth is from the labors and discernment of your own intellect. YOu would not doubt what I am saying is true, if you have the Spirit of God in you. I am not an idiot to seek any kind of vain glory. The reason I am describing this experience is because it is absolute truthful experience of the word of God. I am giving that evidence to confirm the word of God, to lead people to a stronger faith in God, away from an understanding that is without power. People believe in God, having a form of holiness, but deny the power thereof. That sounds like you. Too bad for you, you have not had these wonderful of experiences of God. I am not interested in getting you to believe anything about me, only about the word of God which says His Holy Spirit will reveal Him to believers, and to have a stronger faith in the power of the word of God, not just an intellectual awareness. I don't care if you believe me or not, God is really my witness of these experiences. |

7 | Is eternal life possible right now? | Not Specified | amadeuse | 15437 | ||
I have been recieving revelations from the Holy Spirit, after recieving the annointing over 4 yrs ago. I am able to speak in tongues at will, in various distinguishable languages, not the repetitive babbling that so many so called televised preachers do. I am currently making a tape of my speech and sending it to be analysed. I am praying for gift of interpretation as well, but seem to notice that the speech i utter is some direct reference to a question or observation of something i am aware of in that instant. It is like the Holy Spirit makes a commentary about the thought, or observation i have just had. The words just form in my mouth, my tongue and mouth moves to make the words. God said that it is him that gives me utterance. I have experiences, at least 4 times so far, that just before waking, i have revelations. My mind seems to be expanding, falling into some infinite expanse of understanding and knowledge pertaining to the universe, and spiritual principles. I am at a higher level of edification than many preachers are. I believe church is a waste of time, just a money making enterprise, if for decades the members in it learn, but never recieve the annointing. Without recieving the Holy Spirit, true knowledge of God cannot come. It is the HOly Spirit that reveals God to you, and then once having experienced Him like me, you become insatiably hungry for HIm. I can't get enough and want to be one with God, above all things. This kind of zeal cannot be developed by one's own initiative, it only comes from experiencing God from having the annointing of His Spirit. I believe all churches should focus on leading people to recieve the Holy Spirit. There are scriptures that reveal the path to recieving the annointing. FOr me it happened when i called the True Name of God, over and over.(They that call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved. The Name of the Lord, not his title.) Are there others out there that have this constant edification and revelation and irrefutable influence from the Spirit of God? If you get tired of pursuing God, you definitely do not have His Spirit, and therefore, you are not saved. You rely on the dilligence of your own resolve, to comply with his principles, but the Spirit of God is not in you revealing Him to you to cause you to obey. YOu obey from your initiative, which intermittently gets compromised by desires of the flesh. When you experience the revelation of God, you have visions and dreams, and edification that cause your desires to change, it is so real to you, not something your imagination is straining to concieve, which you soon get tired of doing when you really haven't 'tasted' of the goodness of God. God said, If you shall seek me with all of your heart, all of your mind and all of your stregnth, then you shall find Him. When you find HIm, believe me, YOu will never want to let go, You will have visions and revelations and dreams that cause you to want Him above all things, and see that the old state of existence you had is dull in comparison. It will change you permanently and constantly until you are perfected. YOu will know you have his Favor, because all your prayers get answered in an instant. You gain real power that is constantly growing. I can't get enough of God and grow hungrier for Him each second. Once just before waking, I caught a glimpse of my body, and I saw beams of light shooting out from it. I had a dream where i was nestled in a cloud, and the Spirit of God was feeding me nurishment that appeared as baby food, but i was made to understand it was spiritual knowledge that was going to lead to my having eternal life. I was also made to know that eternal life is available now, not necessarily after the resurrection only. There is a verse that says, they that leave house and family for the sake of the kingdom shall inherit much more in this 'age', and in the 'age to come', eternal life. I think this is what people misunderstand 'age to come' as after the resurrection, when it merely means after 'the kingdom of heaven is come', which did when Christ was resurrected. What do you think? | ||||||
