Answers to Study Forum Questions Question 1 You said, "Asking God for His gift." Please support this Scriptually when it refers to anything thing else but the gift of eternal life. Do you ask for a certain gift from someone who is very powerful? Then you are rude. Answer 1. Mat 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Luk 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 1Co 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. My Friend you may thank it (Rude) But Jesus Christ is the Lord of My Life, and without him I'm nothing he manages my life for me, in everything I go to him, in asking him for Spiritual Gifts that I might better serve him and of that I'am not ashamed. Let tell you a bit about myself God put a call on my life when I was very young,but I didn't heed that call I went on through High School, Got a Job, Got Married,and Got divorced remarried again a couple of years latter My wife of 34yrs now had two sons. Things were going pretty good in our lives but we weren't in church Finally in my late 20's we started going to this little country church, I repented of my sins and was Baptised immersed in water in a neighbors lake. Again God put a call on my life to serve him, I was seriously considering going to Bible College,by this time My sons were in their teenage years, we started to have a few problems with our oldest son, Got involved with drugs, runins with the Law and over a period of time he finally wound up in Jail. Now you can imagine all the things we were going through as a family, needless to say I didn't handle it very well instead of drawing closer to God, I thought I could handle this situation, or anything(PRIDE GOT IN THE WAY SIN). Again I turned from Jesus, It took almost another twenty years, before I came to my knees. Sometimes God allows things to take place in our lives to turn us toward home. one foggy December night about 2:00 am we got a knock on our front door. Earlier that month our son had been arrested and put in Jail. their was a Deputy at the door our son had hanged himself was not expected to live he was in the hospital. We drove their as fast as we could, I knew the ambulance attendance personnelly I ask them what they thought answer we don't think your son will live. BUT BY GODS GRACE AND MERCY HE DID LIVE I GOT DOWN ON MY KNEES AND BEGGED GOT TO SPARE MY SONS LIFE AND I WOULD FOREVER SERVE HIM. I went into an Old Pentcostal Church I went to the alter I repented of my sins, I wept, I cried, I poured my heart out to God asking his forgiveness, turned away from my sin. A few days latter I was baptized in Jesus name (and theirs a difference) a month later in August I recieved the Baptism of the Holy Ghost at a camp meeting and I spoke in tongues as the spirit gave the utterance just like the day of pentecost, but that wasn't all that very night I was delivered from alcohol and tobacco, the Lord took all that business away from me.( satan isn't gonna counterfiet that). My life has never been better since I recieved the Holy Ghost, My family is in church, I'm serving God I'm now at 54yrs old going into the ministry and I working hard. My oldest son unfortunitly is still living a life of sin but I keep praying he be saved Lord whatever it takes save him. Now I've said all of that to say this THE ACTS 2:38 MESSAGE IS THE PLAN OF SALVATION. Many think Pentecost is a denomanation it is not its an experence exactly like the upperoom and the 120 people that were their. I will answer your other questions on another post. |

2 | Do holy people have to speak in tongues? | 1 Cor 12:30 | The Disciple | 28773 | ||
ezekiel, what a wonderful testimony you have. Praise the LORD and all HIS grace. IF you have a chance, in the search part of this forum, type in Acts 2:6 as the search area. Read all the posts given by all the writers and readers. I truly hope you will be blessed by all of our words of affirmation, encouragement, love and understanding. The Word of God is so very important for our lives. John 15:7 says, "If You abide in ME and my WORDS abide IN YOU, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you." IF we are truly abiding in HIM as a branch of HIS true vine, then we wont let our experiences be the only thing that holds us to HIM. Let us keep praising HIM for these things and continue to use them to show others (not of HIM) how HE has saved, healed, delivered us from ourselves. We really dont need to use our experiences to prove to our brothers we are saved or have unfailing faith. The Holy Spirit gives us gifts as HE wills for one reason. In 1 Corinthians 12,13,14 we learn why and what for. All gifts are for ONE specific reason and that is to EDIFY THE CHURCH. Let us all continue in this way and ALSO continue in abiding in Jesus and and WORDS. May HE Bless you continually, **SHALOM** D |
