Subject: Full of the Holy Spirit full time? |
Bible Note: Dear Doc, I have been studying this again and here is what I found out; Only three people are said to have been full of the Holy Spirit. As Christians we have the ability to act by the power of the devil, or the Holy Spirit. We have the seal of the Holy Spirit as the promise of salvation, but we have not yet reached the final state of glory in which we will constantly operate under the power of the Holy Spirit as Jesus did. We need to be given doses of the Holy Spirit's power even though we already have Him as we are being moved from glory to glory. I believe based on the testimony of the three men, that they always acted under the power of the Holy Spirit and did not waver, did not have instances where the power of Satan moved through them: Barnabas, Stephen and Jesus Christ with the key is that the word full #4134, complete/full is only used only of these three in referrence to having the power of the Holy Spirit, or just the Holy Spirit - Acts 6:5,8 and Acts 7:55 for Stephen Acts 11:22 - 24 for Barnabas Luke 4:1 for Jesus Christ. What do you think? God Bless the hat lady. |
