Receive ye the Holy Ghost

November 8, 2019 7:21 pm

Today we give thanks to the "mighty" lord of lords and King of the lord Kings Jesus Christ whom is "Truly" the lamb that takes away the sins of the world, and the true messiah that was foretold to be a suffering rejected servant/messiah. He "IS" whom he said he was. So the reading of the gospel being the written word of God. Here are three important passages in scripture. Read the word of God. Praise the lord! 

"For He grew up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.3. He was despised, and rejected of men, a Man of Sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we esteemed Him not."

 ISAIAH liii, 2, 3.

Psalm 3 King James Version (KJV)

3 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
² Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
³ But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
⁴ I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
⁵ I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
⁶ I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
⁷ Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
⁸ Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

WORDS OF TRUTH

Ecclesiastes 12:9-11 King James Version (KJV)

⁹ And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
¹⁰ The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
¹¹ The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

King James Version (KJV)

John 20:19-29 King James Version (KJV)

¹⁹ Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
²⁰ And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
²¹ Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
²² And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
²³ Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
²⁴ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
²⁵ The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
²⁶ And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
²⁷ Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
²⁸ And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
²⁹ Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

King James Version (KJV)

SUMMARY

In the passages above we have faith in God as the person who's enemies were mounting/great took refuge in the lord. As the lord is a shield to those who take refuge in him. We have the wise preacher who carefully chose his words as written "The preacher sought to find out acceptable words". As written "Salvation belongeth unto the Lord". To God and not carnal sinful man. We have Jesus appearing unto the disciples and he showed them his hands & side and doubting "Thomas believed." He was risen from the dead. He breaths on them "Christ" and gives them the holy spirit and tells them/instructed them whomever they forgive their sins "remit" their sins are remitted and whomever are retained are retained. Just as Christ once instructed the Apostles/his disciples to go preach the word of God/the Gospel and shake off the dust off your shoes as written in the gospel when you go house to house preaching the gospel to those who appose/reject the gospel. We can pray for them but by the preaching/hearing of the word did men/woman come to faith. In the beginning was the word. The logos !! Christ is the word of God who became flesh and dwelt among us. You are saved by faith alone. It is a free gift that no man can boast. Abraham had GREAT faith. He believed and it was credit to him as righteousness.. 

Christ had no beauty that people should be attracted by vanity. All is vanity said the preacher. He had no form nor comeliness that would attract people to him yet he had large crowds that followed him/gathered and made him a threat to the Sanhedrin (Jewish) religious leaders of his day. And even to the King of his day. Yet he was sinless and he knew that people wanted miracles but most wanted to retain their sins and would fall away. The woman at Jacobs well even though she was a Samaritan he accepted her. Even though she was remarried and lived in sin he accepted her. He will accept you but you must repent and believe on the gospel. Really believing is not the same as believing. You cannot deny the POWER of GOD. Christ said people who believe without seeing him are blessed. There were great prophets that had never seen him and believed. 

Sin leads to spiritual death and sometimes physical death. We are told to chose life and not death. Let me make it clear to you that HELL is REAL! If you die in your sins YOU WILL PERISH. To believer on the lord takes faith. You have to make a choice.  You have to be willing to carry your cross. He is REAL! Its time to know the God of the bible and the written word of the lord. The devil comes and steals that seed right away. Did you know "unbelief" is said to be a sin!!!! Turn to the God of the bible and get saved! Do it ASAP!

In John 16:12-14 King James Version is is written: "12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you." 

Many don't have ears to hear. The truth of God may be overwhelming even to the elect of Christ's day. If you don't know Christ you are LOST and missing out on something greater than you can ever know. I urge and challenge you to seek God and his word. To put your faith and trust in the God of the bible. May the lord open your eyes. Amen

A NOTE:

This could actually be a separate blog.

 This blog has been about the reading of chosen in scripture passages  and about the holy ghost/spirit. Notice it is written "He Shall" (The holy ghost)  and that he will shew you things to come. He is the spirit of truth. Christ had many things to say to his Disciples/Apostles but they could not bear them then just as some of us cannot bear them now. They may be hard to understand or comprehend but in all do seriousness some people have been given the gift of prophecy and understanding. Recently, I was looking at the 1000 year millennium rain which occurs when Christ comes back and it appear to be on the present earth. Only after that will the old earth and heavens melt away with a great fervent heat and the new heavens and earth come into existence.   Those who doubt this doubt God's holiness and POWER. The world is already full of such evil and sin so when will these things be? A question many people ask. A question that was asked to Christ himself! The important question is are you saved and ready as Christ said the things to come such as that great day of the lord will come suddenly and unexpected like a thief in the night. May be referring to the rapture as well. The other thing is such things may appears as foolishness to those perishing.  By the things made we know God is REAL. He wrote his laws on our hearts. We are WITHOUT excuse.

Look God loves you dearly as he sent his only begotten son to die on the cross so you could be forgiven your sins as he is the lamb that takes away the sins of the world. Please watch the testimonies about him. Many do not know him.
