1 | Holy (GHOST) Received but not Realized? | Romans | josiebible | 91773 | ||
Hi George: I received the Holy Ghost and did not realize it for a while. I think it was because I did not understand. I Now speak in an unknown language that is a mystry to me. But I know this that God is praying through me a perfect prayer. And I am edified and encouraged. I am a new Christain and have a lot to learn and understand. The Bible does say this gift is for all who ask and believe. I do not speak in other tongues in Church or around other people who do not understand. This is between me and God and I want all that God wants me to have. Hope this helps. A Christain, Joann Any further questains please feel free to email me at jmmgjmrtn@earthlink.net | ||||||

Hi, and Thanks for your response josiebible. There is no noubt in my mind, according to my understanding obtained through diligent bible studies, that considering what you have stated, you have correctly answered my question. My lack of "understanding" for so long could have easily sent me to hell. If it had not been for the Grace of God, and a GOOD God fearing woman whos patience is only exceeded by that of our Lord Humself, I might have never accepted the fact that I just needed to "accept" through faith what the word had promised, and that understanding would eventually eventually come, according to His will. Hang on to, and learn to use that POWER for the GLORY of HIM whom it is from. May God richly bless you and yours. George |

GeorJoy: Maybe I am not understanding what you have said in your note. You said for this person "Hang on to, and learn to use That POWER for the GLORY of HIM whom it is from." Correct me if I am wrong. Are we not given Spiritual Gifts to minister to others? Is not the Power we give in ministering to others directly form God? I am not convienced that we have any power in ourselves. Is it not God who uses us as tools for His service, and we are merely the isstrument God uses to deliver His power? Is there any way for us to learn how to use this Power? Are we like a battery absorbing as much of Gods power to use as we see fit? When one comes to Christ and becomes a Christian, do you believe that speaking in tongues comes naturaly? Or is speaking in tongues a result of being instructed what to do, and learned by observation? I have no proof, but I think toungues is learned from others, not something that comes naturally. Would you take the time, and be so kind to explain this to me? Thank you. justme |

Why do we "think?" Why can't we "Know?" Please don't take this as a personal attack Justme, but I see the terms "I think that," "I believe that" so much lately on this forum that it leads me to believe that these people have no bibles. If they did, they wouldn’t have to “think or believe,” they would KNOW. I believe in what I believe because “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God, (Rom 10:17 KJV)” "And I have not only heard, but I have seen the word of God. So I don’t have to “just think or just believe that…,” I know. I could look up every verse it would take to answer your numerous questions. However, who would that benefit? Sure, it would give me the additional experience, but I believe, and, know that "rather than being continuously given the fish, a person should LEARN HOW TO FISH FOR ONESLEF, thus, I would recommend Tim LaHayes book, "How To Study the Bible." When I first saw it on the bookshelf, my first thought was "Ha! Any Idiot knows how to STUDY THE BIBLE." Well, the spirit led me to buy it. It cost about 10.00. Well I barely got into that book before I learned that I wasn't just "any idiot." That book has been a wealth of information and inspiration to me. Coupled with your NIV, NASB and perhaps one or two of Tim LaHaye's recommended commentaries and "Bible" dictionaries, you will fine Justme, that Tim's book will be a welcome help to your learning the word in depths that you may not currently realize exist. There is so much in the word that does not meet the eye of even the strongest believer. Salvation is the greatest. We will enjoy that in it’s fullest in due season, but meantime, Grace has so much to offer that is mostly overlooked, misunderstood, contradicted and totally missed I'd say that, rather than we being like a battery, we are more like a high powered automobile, observing the speed limits set by society (the flesh.) We don’t really know what power we posses (the spirit,) neither do we know what powers are available (the gifts and promises in Gods Word,), even though it is there in the owners manual, because we don’t necessarily understand that manual; have been lied to, misinformed, and or simply don’t read it… And NO... Speaking in toungs doesn’t come naturally, nor can it be TAUGHT by MAN. Read Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians. Then re-read it. Then read it again and study it this time. Don't be afraid to make notes, underline or highlight verses in your bible. It's a book. Books are made for learning. You won't defile the word. God Bless George |

GeorJoy. Thank you for your kind response. The Romans 10:17 passage says nothing I can see realting to speaking in tongues, or have I missed something? I think when one is starting out discovering the Bible and studing it, one should have a good guide to help. There certianly are many authors who attempt to instruct us in the best way. My Pastor goes through the Bible one book at a time, verse by verse and we have gone through about 10 books of the Bible in 2 years. I think this is one way to study the Word as well. I use "I believe or I think" in some of my notes, as there are subjects that some find offensive when we come accros so authoritarian. My thinking is, I leave a wider door open so a responding Forum person can make their answer as deep or narrow as they see fit. My view point is always open should someone ask me. However I think it is very important to listen to what others say and gleam what is chafe from the real seed. Does that sound logical to you? Any thoughts? justme |

My feelings exactly. However, once again, I strongly suggest that we all get accoustomed to quoting, or at the very least, knowing where and how to find a scriptural foundation for our beliefs and thoughts before we voice them. This way, we are prepaired with THE WORD to "fight the good fight." Would anyone go out onto a battlefield without the sword. You may know how that sword works and how to use it, but if you AIN't got the "sword of truth" in your heart, you just AIN'T prepaired to fight the enemy. Fight him with (((THE WORD;))) Not your words! As good as your intentions are; your words are not good enough without Gods word therein! George |
