The Holy Ghost
Before Jesus’s coming in the flesh, the Lord God shared his
knowledge and his commandments with the prophets, via visions, parables, similitudes,
and proverbs via his spirit.
Genesis 6:3 And the
Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
And when Jesus came into the flesh, is exactly when the Lord
stopped communicating with the people. Jesus came into the world and spoke
amongst men in the flesh in parables about the spirit, and the ‘Kingdom of his
Father’.
Hosea 12:10 I have
also spoken by the prophets,
and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
Hidden within the scriptures inspired by the ‘Holy Ghost’ is the
‘Mystery of God’, and unless one’s understanding is opened by the spirit, then
one can never know of that ‘Mystery’. Again, as said below, one’s own private
interpretation of scripture isn’t enough. Since the ‘Mystery of God is hidden
in God.
2 Peter 1:19-21 We
have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and
the day star arise in your hearts (That
Morning Star, that teaches you the knowledge of God) Knowing this first, that
no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Of course, the Father wasn’t known to mankind at that time, and
because the knowledge of him was hidden within the shadow of scripture and he
is barely is known now since people can only take the very image of the ‘Law
and the Prophets’.
Hebrews 10:1 For
the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year
continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
So, the Father can’t share his ‘Mystery’ with those who don’t know
him, since the heart of man has to be prepared first to seek him out. If
there’s no seed in the field, the rain will only make the field muddy and
useless.
Psalm 10:17 Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear.
So, the Lord God was sent into the flesh, as Jesus Christ by the Father to lay that chief cornerstone of the knowledge of the spirit. Thus, the end times began, for that was the beginning of the end. Which in human terms is much longer than you’d care to think.
Psalm 118:20-24 This
gate of the Lord, into which the righteous
shall enter. I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and
art become my salvation. The stone which the
builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Yes, the people of old
rejected the Lord God’s law as well, and now as Jesus, his headstone is still
rejected, even by those that claim to love him. Because again, they cannot
perceive the scriptures with their spirit, since they haven’t been prepared to
do so.
Luke 1:17 And he
shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
And that is the whole
point of preaching the ‘Gospel’, to make a people ready to receive the
‘Kingdom’. To enable them to perceive the scriptures, so that they too can bring
out the knowledge and wisdom are hidden in darkness out into the light for all to
witness and to help those that claim to be mighty in their knowledge of the
earth fall.
Job 12:21-23 He
poureth contempt upon princes, and
weakeneth the strength of the mighty. He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death. He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he
enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them
again.
All of us, just like the Lord God was himself are sent into the
flesh to made straight from our crookedness.
Ecclesiastes 7:13 Consider
the work of God: for who can make that
straight, which he hath made
crooked?
The Lord God, who turned away from his Father and claimed to be
the only God himself back in the day.
Psalm 25:16-18 Turn
thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
Think about it this way, why would you listen to a man preaching
about forgiveness, if he had never been forgiven himself, and how would he know
what he was talking about in the first place? Little did the Lord God know at
the time, that his own words through his prophets were the route to his own
salvation as Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 7:14-16 Therefore
the Lord himself shall give you a sign; (He himself was the sign) Behold, a virgin shall conceive, (Virgin of the womb, meaning Jesus was Mary’s first
child because she had yet to conceive. He was the first of her seven to be
exact.) and bear a son, and shall call his name
Immanuel. (Which means God is with us, in this case, the Lord
God) Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. For
before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the
land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings. (Meaning,
this world, whose kings are The Lord God, and Jesus Christ, one and the same.
Why do you think he was called King of Kings, and Lord of Lords in the first
place?)
That is the beauty of the ‘Mystery of God’. It is literally
perfection because the Father worked a work through the Lord God and Jesus
Christ to bring about that day of salvation for everyone.
Romans 5:10-18 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. (Aka Jesus) But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
As said, quite clearly above, through one man’s sin, many were
made sinners, and through the same man’s redemption, all are atoned. However, a
key part is forgotten and ignored, you have to do exactly what Jesus did and do
the work, and you yourself prepare a people by burying that knowledge of God in the minds of people.
Matthew 13:44 Again,
the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a
field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof
goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
In short, you have to leave a ‘Gospel’ behind in the world, for
others to find. You have to receive that good treasure from the Father and
share it with others in the world.
James 1:22-24 But
be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man
beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway
forgetteth what manner of man he was.
Being merely hearers of the word won’t save you. People themselves
may forget about their own crookedness, especially those of religion, but God
won’t. Remember that, because Jesus surely did.
Luke 15:18-19 I
will arise and go to my father, and
will say unto him, Father, I have sinned
against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
Just as Jesus said about himself, in a parable about sinning
against God and Heaven, and coming into the flesh as the Father’s servant, to
teach all men about the ‘Kingdom of God’ and people about the redemption of
sins.
Revelation 22:13 I
am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
end, the first and the last.
This is why the Lord God and Jesus Christ called themselves the
‘First and the Last’.
Hosea 6:3 Then
shall we know, if we follow on to know
the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
The former rain and the latter rain, which the Father, through his
mysterious ways, prepared since before the foundation of the world
John 20:23 Whose
soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto
them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
Again, this knowledge is something Christians can’t grasp, because
they don’t believe in an all-forgiving Father, who would be at the side of his
first created son, at all times, even in his crookedness. Such people aren’t
fit for the Kingdom, let me make that clear to you.
Luke 15:20-24 And
he arose, (A parable about being raised up into Heaven. Remember, all things of the flesh are parables about the spirit.) and came to his father. But
when he was yet a great way off, his
father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto
him, Father, I have sinned against
heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his
hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he
was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
But even though our hearts condemn us, think not that the Father
isn’t with you, even in the tough times, and they will come, because
tribulations are part of that path of correction when you step onto it.
1 John 3:20 For if
our heart condemn us, God is greater than our
heart, and knoweth all things.
To the religious, believing in these things would be admitting
that they’re wrong because Satan has them and has hardened their hearts. In
short, they’re already condemned and cannot even begin to step onto that path.
That way, to the truth that leads to
eternal life, which the Father has given us all through Jesus Christ, the Lord.
Ephesians 3:9-11 And
to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in
heavenly places might be known by the
church (Those called out and chosen out of the world) the manifold wisdom of God, According
to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
Who as said, created all things through Jesus Christ, who is the ‘Word of God, who was the Lord God and unknown even until today, the Holy Spirit itself. That fools claim to have like it is something to be had by persons, who respect only themselves when they boast of such a thing.
Acts 10:34-36 Then
Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of
a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. The
word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
The ‘Holy Spirit’ has a will of its own you know and chooses
where to send itself, and it sure as hell won’t be in a church, nor in a person
who goes to one, let’s be clear about that.
1 Corinthians 12:3 Wherefore
I give you to understand, that no man speaking by
the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
Again, the Bible tells people these things quite clearly from
where I’m sitting.
Acts 2:36 Therefore
let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Here’s a list of commonalities.
1.
Jesus shares knowledge of the spirit to those who
believe in him (Which includes doing as he said, which no one does)
John 7:38-39 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall
flow rivers of living water. But this spake he of the
Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.
2. Jesus said he was the ‘Morning Star. (Which people foolishly
believe is Satan) Which is an abomination to even suggest, since it
destroys the works of Satan in the end.
Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify
unto you these things in the
churches. (To those called out and chosen out of the world) I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
3. The role of the Morning Star is to share knowledge of the spirit,
which is given to those who do as he said, in the spirit.
Revelation 2:26-29 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star. He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
4. The Holy Spirit teaches all things about the spirit that people
have forgotten, hence the whole bringing things back into the remembrance.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
5. None had the Holy Spirit, while Jesus was in the flesh.
John 16:7-13 Nevertheless I tell
you the truth; It is expedient for you
that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto
you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and
of judgment: Of sin, because they
believe not on me; Of righteousness,
because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 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.
6. And the Bible literally tells you plainly that this is the case.
2 Corinthians 3:16-17 Nevertheless
when it shall turn to the Lord, the
vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that
Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
You see, that veil upon the uncircumcised heart and the covering
upon the mind, are the thoughts of one’s own heart.
Isaiah
65:2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
Thoughts
which cause man to blaspheme against the Holy Spirit who teaches the true
doctrine, and instead preach their own doctrines of men.
Matthew 12:30-32 He that is not
with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with
me scattereth abroad. Wherefore I say unto you, All
manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the
blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man,
it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against
the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither
in this world, neither in the world to come.
Meaning to say, the 'Gospel of
Truth' will be kept from you in this life and the next life. In short, you stay
in the flesh will be extended by one extra lifetime.
2 Samuel 14:14 For we must
needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which
cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect
any person: yet doth he devise means, that his
banished be not expelled from him.
After all, receiving the spirit prepares you for your lifetime of regeneration, the one where you have heard
the ‘Gospel’ before. Reject it, and then you’ll remain deaf and blind to the
things of the spirit, unable to bring forth fruit in the world. As said, you’ll
be against the ‘Holy Ghost’ and be scattered abroad, knowing not what fate has
in store for you in your next incarnation. Like Jesus, we must know where we're going to end up in our lifetime of regeneration. Just hoping that you're going to get to Heaven when you die, merely because of some religious indoctrination simply isn't going to cut it. You need to know the absolute truth to share it and bring forth fruit.
Colossians 1:5-6 For the hope
which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard
before in the word of the truth of the gospel; Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
A message made quite clear in this
following parable, about a man who went away to receive himself a kingdom and
returned to prepared people to receive it themselves, by having his servants
share it amongst the people. But they rejected this ruler and thus themselves
were rejected by him.
Luke 19:12-14 He said
therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country
to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after
him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over
us.
This is generally what happens
when you don’t follow instructions. Christians especially like to use scripture
in isolation, ignoring the instruction to rightly divide the word of truth. The
purpose of doing so is to paint a complete picture and instruct people in
righteousness.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew
thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not
to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Timothy was such a one who
followed instructions and preached the Gospel correctly, for he was in his
lifetime of regeneration and his end time in the flesh was nigh. He ruled his
own household (mind) and was a very worthy and profitable servant, who bared much
fruit. Even today, long after his time in the flesh, his work lives on. Such a one
is desired in the ‘Kingdom’ and God will seek them out when they’re ready to
reject the world and accept the Kingdom of Heaven.
Matthew 13:52 Then said he
unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed
unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which
bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
He brought forth plenty of
treasure from out the Old Testament and the New Testament because as said, he followed
instructions. Since to believe in Jesus, is to do as Jesus did, not in the
flesh, but in the spirit. For his words healed the spirit of those ready to
receive it, plus he demonstrated patience with those who knew not of the
Father because he understood all things.
1 Timothy 3:5-7 For if a man
know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take
care of the church of (Those called and chosen out of
the world by God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted
up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he
must have a good report of them which are without; lest
he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. (The pride and the arrogance of their own heart, just like how Jehovah’s Witnesses do.)
He like Jesus would also swallow
up death in victory and receive himself a ‘Crown of Righteousness’ having
attained the ‘Kingdom’ prepared for him.
2 Timothy 4:6-8 For I am now
ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at
hand. I have fought a good fight, I have
finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth
there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love
his appearing.
It was Paul who taught Timothy
about how to receive the Gospel from God, and likewise, those with it
must teach others how to receive the things of the ‘Holy Spirit’, which
does the actual teaching, by revealing knowledge to the seeking mind.
Galatians 1:10-12 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Who,
as I’ve said, and the Bible makes quite evident, is the Holy Ghost.
