1 | josiebible, where does it say we can ask | Romans | josiebible | 92045 | ||
I am not sure if I answered this so if I have disreguard this one. Acts 2:4 "All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. The initial evidence of being baptized with the Holy Spirit is that you will gegin to speak with other tongues. Acts 10:44-46 Speaking in tongues is for all who is fill with the Holy Spirit. Yes, if you are led to speak out in your heavenly language there will be interpretation. otherwise, it only edify's yourself. I can do that at home, by myself. I Corinthians 14:18 Paul spoke in tongues and was proud of it. Mark 16:17 "And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues." Jesus said it is for all who believe: You believe and receive the gift by faith. In 1 Corinthians 12:30 Paul ask "Do all speak in tongues? He is probably talking about the gift of diverse kinds of tongues that are to be interpreted in the church service. This is one of the nine gifts of the Spirit listed in that chapter for the body of Christ. He is not speaking of the personal gift of tongues for the believer. Arent they two different things? It is just like the gift of faith listed in 1 Corinthians 12, tongues that will be spoken out and interpreted in the body, but all can have the ability to pray in tongues for personal edification. I need all the edification I can receive. But we do have to ask for it first. Thanks for the come back. joan | ||||||
2 | Joann ... Why not use your gift ? | Romans | josiebible | 92041 | ||

3 | Holy (GHOST) Received but not Realized? | Romans | josiebible | 92040 | ||
Bro., George: How encouraging you are! Thank you so much for the uplift. We all should be encouraging and trying to build each other up in Christ. My spirit is very uneasy with debate and opinionated people. I don't need any more scrambling of the brain. Ha! I am humbled to receive any gift the Lord feels I am ready for. Bro., George I did a lot of praying for wisdom and understanding and reading the bible and staying in bible study and reading good spiritual books to replace the ignorance. God loves worship and praising him for everything. If I was to give any advise it would be to start praising God for your gift, open your mouth and speak out utterences until you start speaking in your other language. Don't give up! It took me being persistant for months before I was ready to accept it and use it. Praise God he had mercy on me and forgave me of all my past sins. Thank you for your honesty and search for truth. Keep on seaking truth and you shall find it. Joann | ||||||
4 | Searching for the truth | Acts | josiebible | 92035 | ||
I will try to answer this questain as best as I can but let me start out with John 3:3 "unless a man is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." because Many people today do not understand the new birth, so let me start there. Jesus explained in John 3:6 "flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit." So physically speaking we were already born,but spiritually speaking we need to be born again to receive the spirit of God. When Adam rejected the Lord and obeyed the devil (Genesis 3) he died spiritually. You see what I mean? God told Adam, "But you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die." Genesis 2:17) We know that Adam did not physically die on that day, for he lived to be 930 years old. What did die that day was Adam's spirit man. That is ,the real person that lives on the inside of the body. The spirit man will live forever somewhere. Your body is a house in which the real you, a spirit man, lives. Man must be spiritually born in order to go to heaven. The basic principle of how to become born again is to believe that Jesus is Lord. 2nd. Call on the Lords name. Acts 2:21 3rd. there must be faith followed by action. James 2:17 If we do all this than we will desire to be confessing jesus before man. Matt10;32 And if you truely believed than Jesus Christ should be Lord of our life. (The Boss or supreme authority)When we believe in our heart and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour than God does something inside of us. The real you, the spirit man, is recreated and becomes alive.JOhn 3:6 "the Spirit gives birth to spirit." Basically the Holy Spirit comes into our life and causes our human spirit to be born again. 2 Corinthians 5:17 When you believe in Jesus and confess Him as Lord you are changed inside. Not your body and not your mind, but the real you, the spirit man. You pobably won't feel any different but spiritually speaking, you are a new creature! And most importantly we are no longer seperated from God. We now have fellowship with the Father and Jesus. Our name is written in the Book of life and we now are a part of the family of God. Praise God! Now our mind is what we have to guard against the sceams of the devel. He will try very hard to take us down. Did this answer your questain? Thanks for the questain, this makes me have to think in the spiritual relm of things. Joann | ||||||

Searcher, Yes I am talking about Romans 8:26-27 And you are right again. I did not say that properly. It is the Spirit praying through us. Wow, you have helped me to think about that in a better way. Now Searcher I went back to 1 Cor 14:14 and I was wondering what you think it means by your mind is unfruitful when praying in tongues? Thanks, joann | ||||||

Searcher56, No problem with thinking differently as long as it goes along with Gods word. I will search the scripture that you gave me. I do agree with tongues are the least of the gifts. Thanks for the advise. Joann | ||||||

Hi George, Isn't it so good when we finnally understand? That is why we must pray continually for wisdom and understanding. Or else our little pea brains can not comprehend it. God Bless you for your perserverence. I was so ignorant of the word for so long and it is so true that the truth will set you free. You said a lot when you said you just needed to accept through faith the promises of God. Gods will is for us to understand and be filled with the Holy Spirit. I love it!!!Praise God!!!! Thank you for the encouragement. Christain love, Joann | ||||||
