Why, and what is the purpose of Pentecost?
Easton's Bible Dictionary
Pentecost
i.e., "fiftieth", found only in the New Testament (Ac 2:1; 20:16; 1Co 16:8). The festival so named is first spoken of in Ex 23:16 as "the feast of harvest," and again in Ex 34:22 as "the day of the first Fruits" (Nu 28:26). From the sixteenth of the month of Nisan (the second day of the Passover), seven complete weeks, i.e., forty-nine days, were to be reckoned, and this feast was held on the fiftieth day. The manner in which it was to be kept is described in Le 23:15-19; Nu 28:27-29. Besides the sacrifices prescribed for the occasion, everyone was to bring to the Lord his "tribute of a free-will offering" (De 16:9-11). The purpose of this feast was to commemorate the completion of the grain harvest. Its distinguishing feature was the offering of "two leavened loaves" made from the new corn of the completed harvest, which, with two lambs, were waved before the Lord as a thank offering.
The day of Pentecost is noted in the Christian Church as the day on which the Spirit descended upon the apostles, and on which, under Peter's preaching, so many thousands were converted in Jerusalem (Ac 2).
Acts 2:1-47 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galileans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Crete's and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meanest this? Others mocking said, these men are full of new wine. But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore, did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover, also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day. Therefore, being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He is seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore, being by the right hand of God exalted and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, sit thou on my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool. Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having Favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST... (Kj).
Let me say this, I feel that this Person, yes, the Holy Ghost is... The Invisible God, which, as this says...Exodus 33:20 And he said, thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
The Purpose of God is... John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, if a man loves me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
We cannot see the face of God, and...1 John 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
We hear many tell is, "No Man Is Perfect" which we identify our flesh as, whom and who we are!
The flesh will never enter the Kingdom of God... 1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Flesh has been Corrupted by Sin, and therefore Sin, along with our flesh, cannot see God.
As the above states, our flesh, cannot enter the kingdom of God, so, there is Another Person that, as the above states, which is Perfection.
That Perfection is "LOVE" which is God!
Therefore, when we believe "In Jesus Christ" we are believing in the "Invisible God", and as we believe in God, God, the Invisible God, which is God, came to be manifested in Flesh, just as we have flesh, God took on Flesh as, "A Son Of God", yet, his flesh knew no sin, and sin could not enter his flesh.
Jesus tells the "Young Rich Man" a Ruler, and a "Keeper of All the Commandants" Jesus says... Mt 19:16 ¶ And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Mt 19:17 And he said unto him, why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Mt 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Mt 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Mt 19:20 The young man saith unto him, all these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Mt 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
Mt 19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Mt 19:23 ¶ Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mt 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Mt 19:25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
Mt 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
"With men this is impossible"
God allowed himself first, speaking of the "Law" God allowed, and wrote who he is, "UPON TABLES OF STONE", which was written with "The Finger of God"!
Exodus 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
As the above is a reference to the verse were, above, when God tells Moses that he cannot see "The Face of God": or as John writes, that "No Man hath Seen God at any time", which this included Adam, and Eve, neither Adam and Eve, has never seen God, or the Face of God.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
On the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Ghost, the "Invisible God" The Spirit of the Holy Ghost, came upon, and with the "Finger of God" writes "The Words of The Father" those Words that Jesus Christ speaks, writes them, "NOT ON TABLES OF STONE, BUT UPON, AND IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE 120 THAT WERE IN THE UPPER ROOM".
Peter tells them...Acts 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel.
Joel 2:28-32 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
God, he always, many years before, he "Foretells" of "Coming Events" as Peter declares.
Now, Peter was just a "Fisherman, and it is said that Peter was very "Unlearned" uneducated!
What was it that Peter "Refers to Joel the Prophet"?
Had Peter read the "Old Testament" throughout, every page, every word?
Peter did not live back when Moses, and Elijah, lived, and yet, Upon the Mountain...Mt 17:1 ¶ And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
Mt 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Mt 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Mt 17:4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Mt 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
Mt 17:6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
Mt 17:7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
Mt 17:8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
How did Peter recognize Moses, and Elijah?
Peter, Jesus Tells...John 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
A Stone is, especially the "Chief Corner Stone, are valuable in laying the foundation of "The Church"
Jesus says...Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Most say that Jesus is building upon Peter, per say, but Jesus is building upon a Foundation, building his Church, which with any building, there must be a Solid Foundation, a foundation that will hold the building.
It is said that a building is as Good as "Its Foundation", meaning that if there is a weak, or bad foundation, the building will not stand firm.
Of course, Jesus is the "Chief Corner Stone, which the Corner stone is, when speaking of Masonry, a brick layer, he starts the wall with a Corner Brick, and goes to the next corner, and stretched a line, a Straight line, and then he lays a layer of brick according to the line.
Zechariah 1:16 Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
The Prophets are using a "Man Made Building" and "Real-estate to, show, and foretell of a building of God that is to be Built, which the Temple of Solomon, and of course, the Beautiful Temple that the Disciples Shows to Jesus...Matthew 24:1-2 And Jesus went out and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
You see, Jesus was foretold from the very beginning, "IN FACT, JESUS IS THE BEGINNING, AND THE END".
As this says... Genesis 1:1 In the beginning (IN JESUS CHRIST) God created the heaven and the earth.
The "Word of God" which this says... John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
"spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit"
Unless you understand that the Holy Ghost is God, was the Word of God that Jesus is Speaking, while he was "Manifested in Flesh" and that, as this says..."the flesh profited nothing", as we look at a "Great TV Evangelist" and people flock to them by the "Thousands" and tell everyone how Great this Man of God is, we are actually bringing God down to "Nothing", as "Flesh is nothing" cannot "Profit God" at all.
This is why Jesus tells the "Commandant Keeper" to "NOT CALL HIM GOOD, AS GOOD IS GOD ONLY"
The next time you tell someone about another person, saying... Boy, He's a Good Man", listen to what Paul writes about the Good that he is... Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
Paul is saying that his flesh is "NOT GOOD"AND GOD IS NOT IN HIS FLESH.
HOW CAN THIS BE, YOU MAY ASK?
That is hard to understand, especially those that are in flesh, and are "Not Known by God".
Jesus, with the rich man, as he calls Jesus "Good Master", this rich commandant keeper, he must feel that he is a "Good Person" and "Many have told him how Great, How Good he has lived his life!
Yes, it was great that he kept all the commandants, and Jesus "beheld him, and love him" yet Jesus says... Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, one thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
This hit the Apostles right smack dab in the face, and heart, as they, yes, they think, and had been taught that anyone that keeps the commandants, and has gotten Rich, was "Surely Going to be with God, after they die.
Mark 10:26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, who then can be saved?
Today, even today, the Church as we know it, most of the churches, they want a "Man' that is Wealthy to Rule Over Them.
Compare Jesus to this Young Rich Commandant Keeper, and you can see that Wealth is not the "Factor in, whether you are going to heaven, or not".
Jesus left all, Riches beyond anyone's imagination, streets of Gold, came down to take a wash pan, wash the disciples' feet, even washing Judas Iscariot's feet.
Jesus, while in the flesh, his flesh was the "Veil"...Hebrews 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh.
God, all the Sacrifices of Animals, and Offering that was made to Consecrate, or Symbolic of taking away the filth of the flesh, God had no Pleasure in all of this... Hebrews 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
But, when Jesus is Offered, his body, his flesh, offered upon the Cross... Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
That flesh, Symbolic, was the "Veil", not the "Veil" that Ripped from the top to the bottom, which the "High Priest" goes through "Once a Year" for "Himself, and the People" which could not "Take away their sins" not even the "Law" God writing himself, his words upon the "Tables of Stone "as Jesus tells the "commandant keeper" which this man tells Jesus that his body of flesh is God, or Good, a Good master.
In other words, God allowed himself in the form of the Law, to be in the hands of the man, in the flesh, yet he "God" was for this Purpose... 2 Corinthians 3:9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
The Law, which is God, in the hands of flesh is, for the Purpose of Condemning the Sin in our flesh.
The law in the flesh is for this also... 2 Corinthians 3:7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraved in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance, which glory was to be done away:
Just exactly what the Lord tells Adam and Eve, and why he tells Adam, "Don't go near this tree"...Genesis 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree, which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
This is why Adam and Eve hid themselves... Genesis 3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
That Voice Walked, and as He Walked, yes, this was God, this was "The Holy Ghost" walking in the Garden of Eden, and could be heard, and today, this voice of God walking, up and down in your "Perfected Love' can be "Heard."
The "Many" that say to Jesus... Matthew 7:22-23 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
These are "Hiding, Naked of Truth, and have hidden themselves among the Self-righteous trees, which is People, as those tress in the Garden, they were People.
Jesus doesn't know the "Many"... I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
You see, Jesus found the "Many" making merchandise of those in the Temple, and Jesus overthrew the tabled of the Moneychangers, right after he does his "First Miracle" which he Turns the Water into Wine' at a wedding!
I have much written about this wedding, and what this means, and how Jesus, and why he turns the water into wine, if you have read, or will search the website, you can find what God has Revealed to me.
Here I am, not me, per say, even though, in my flesh, this is not about me.
This is about the "GREAT I AM", that delivered a people of the flesh, after they chose to place themselves in bondage, thinking that Egypt could sustain them, during the great drought.
It was the flesh Joseph that the lord uses to be the "DELIVERER", yet Joseph live not to see this great deliverance from bondage, yet Joseph speaks loud and clear as, those that were to make the name of the lord great, Joseph, without Joseph, God would not have brought Moses forth as the Deliverer of this great people.
Moses of Christians, today spend more time about Joseph, and Moses, both are a "TYPE, OR FORESHADOW OF CHRIST!
ILL SAVEVTHIS, BUT I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING, BE BACK SHORTLY...STAY TUNED!
I'm back, continuing this about the "TYPE OF CHRIST", as both Joseph shows forgiveness, and preservation with..."HIS OWN", which his own, just as the Jews betrays Jesus, Joseph, his brothers betray Joseph, sell him to slavery, but Joseph says...as you read this I am about to place here, you should see a "TYPE OF CHRIST", coming to "FORGIVE HIS OWN", and how his own, as it says, "GOD WILL SURELY VISIT YOU", which goes way down to the Cross, when this is a "REVELATION", of Jesus coming to his own.
Before I place this here, I want you to see both, the flesh Hebrew, and also see the inward Jew, as you must be able to look beyond the outward Jew and, see the "INWARD JEW", those that Jesus knew from the foundation of the world.
The "TWELVE APOSTLES" they were the "INWARD JEWS", that Jesus come to "MANIFEST THE FATHER GOD UNTO".
As i say, get your eyes off of the outward man, this, although deals with the outward, this is the mysterious the hidden man of the heart.
Read this, and then I'll elaborate more....Genesis 50:17-26 (KJV) So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
Egypt is a "FIGERATION OF FLESH, as flesh is where the lord sets a trap for Satan, which the tree of knowledge of good and evil is, actually Satan as the Bible says is..."THE SUBTLE BEAST", which Eve, she just had, by curiosity had to find out for herself why, The lord tells here and Adam, to stay away from this "ONE TREE", and tells them that on this tree of knowledge of good and evil, is fruit, if eaten, you will "DIE", which Death is the "LAST ENEMY TO BE DONE AWAY WITH...Paul gives a insight to Death, which was the fruit of the Tree of knowledge of good and evil.
But first know that this tree had both "THE LAW, which is "THE GOOD", and as it states, eating both Good, good is God only, as Jesus tells the "RICH COMMANDANT KEEPER", and Paul verify this with this...here Paul says he was "ALIVE ONCE", this means he, Paul, when his name was Saul, he was just as Adam, Adam was alive in the Garden of Eden, innocent, yet he was flesh, just as the Second Adam, Jesus Christ, he came as the "SECOND ADAM, alive once in flesh lie we have, as Saul was innocent, but ground that when the law came, just as the tree of knowledge of good and evil gave Eve this promise to know both GOOD. AGOODEVIL, which is knowing Sin, And Death, and knowing God, and Paul is telling us that when Adam eats, he is no longer innocent because, now sin has entered into his flesh, yet Adam hears the voice of the lord walking in the cool of the day, there in the garden, Adam hides himself, Eve hides with him, among the trees.
Those trees are either angels, or I maintain other people as God said, let us, create male and female, created he "NOTICE THIS..."THEM":", which makes more than just Adam.
Romans 7:4-25 (KJV) Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Back to Moses, being a type of Christ, as Moses tells those that had committed a "GREAT SIN", tells them...Deuteronomy 18:13-22 (KJV) Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken.
According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire anymore, that I die not.
And the LORD said unto me, they have well-spoken that which they have spoken.
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
And if thou say in thine heart, how shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follows not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Here is why I say that you need a "REVELATION OF GODS WORD", and if you don't receive this revelation, you will more than likely fall victim of the "MARK OF THE BEAST"!
These outwards are the Hebrews, and Satan incarnate is in each of these, just as he, Satan is incarnate in each of us, no matter if you are saved, your flesh will have "THE MESSENGER OF SATAN", speaking to you in your flesh body.
Paul concluded that God was not going to rid Satan, sin from his flesh.
But Jesus tells Paul, and all of us that, "HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT TO GET YOU YHROUGH, again, to the Promise, or in the Hebrews coming out of Egypt, get them to "THE PROMISE LAND, THAT GLOWED EITH MILK AND HONRY", which is, again, using "REAL ESTATE", as the outward, to bring the Promise, that was made to Abraham, which is "THE HOLY GHOST, ERITING GODS WORDS, NOT IN YOUR OUTWARD FLESH PERSON, BUT THE HIDDEN PERFECT MAN OF THE HEART.
That person contains "YOU, when you are converted, and hid in God through Jesus Christ.
You are then PERFECT", in Christ.
If you were not, or say you are not perfect, you are bringing Jesus to the level of a four-footed beast.
Paul says...1 Corinthians 2:6-16 (KJV) Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
For whom hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Your purpose in, not in, per say, in a body of flesh, is for to bring others out of the bondage of sin in the flesh.
That is why you stay on earth, otherwise Jesus would have you as the "NEW INNER PERFECT BODY", just as Jesus appears to the disciples, shows his resurrected body, and shows them who the father is, looks like.
He ate fish, and yet this is the body that we have in Christ.
The body is invisible, just as God is invisible, and the best I can describe him, and you in Christ is the "PERSON OF THE HOLY GHOST".
You cannot see your new man, woman, but you can feel this person called "THE HOLY GHOST".
That is why those that "TRANSLATED THE GREEK INTO ENGLISH, THE KING JAMES BIBLE", that is why the write "THE HOLY GHOST", because you can "CALL ANY SPIRIT HOLY", even Satan, a spirit, he believes he is "THE HOLY SPIRIT", and so sad, "THE MANY", those that Jesus Never Knew, they will say "HOLY SPIRIT LEADS THEM, AND TELLS THEM THEY GOT IT ALL WHEN THRY FOUND THE LORD".
No, you need another Baptism, other than John's Water Baptism, as here Paul finds "TWELVE DISCIPLES OF JOHN"...
Here Paul is telling you the same thing I am telling you.... Acts 19:1-21 (KJV) And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
He said unto them, have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, we have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues and prophesied.
And all the men were about twelve.
And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, we adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preached.
And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
These twelve, yes the believed in Jesus, was baptized by John the Baptist, and had not even heard whether there is a holy ghost.
Just like church people today, they have been taught that the person of the Holy ghost died when the apostles died.
My God, why are you do ASHAMED OF THE HOLY GHODT?
One told me not to say "GHOST, THAT IT FRIGHTENS LITTLE CHILDREN",.
GOD BLESS THIS LITTL ADULT PREACHER THAT HAS LET SATAN SPEAK IN HIS FLESH, MADE A WELL-KNOWN PREACHER, EDUCATED HIM HOW TO NEVER SAY HOLY GHOST...
This is why the church today is in the "SAD CONFITION", ready to use a AR 15, and kill others, instead of being led by the "HOLY GHOST", so what, if Satan kills your body, he can't kill you spirit of the Holy ghost.
If it happens, it's for a reason, or purpose to glorify God in your death.
Moses, he, tells those "A PROPHET LIKE UNTO ME, SHAL THE LORD RAIS UP", MY FREIND THAT PROPHET WAS JESUS IN THE FLESH, LIKE UNTO MOSES.
MOSES DTAND BETWEEN THE JUDGMENT OF GOD AND THOSE THAT DESERVED, AND GOD WAS GOING TO KILL THEM ALL, EXCRP MOSES, AND START A NEW NATION.
GLORY TO GOD, GOD LOVED WHST MOSES CHOSE TO DO, ABD LOVES THAT DO MUCH, GOD VOMES AS HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN DON, AND INSTEAD OF MOSES AND ELIJAH HAVING TO COME BACK TO DIE, JESUS TASTE DEATHE FOR EVERY MAN, INCLUDING MOSES., AND ELIJAH.
Jesus tells the disciples...
Here is when Jesus fulfilled the "SEVEN THUNDERS THAT IS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION!
Matthew 17:1-13 (KJV) And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
And his disciples asked him, saying, why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise, shall also the son of man suffer of them.
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
Jesus tells James and John, sons of Zebedee...
Mark 3:17 (KJV) And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
This was a Revelation of these thunders...
Revelation 10:4 (KJV) And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
Jesus tell John to not write this.
Why...well Paul tells why...1 Corinthians 2:6-8 (KJV) Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
My friend, Jesus takes the place "IN DEATH", of Moses.
John the Baptist takes the place of ELIJAH IN DEATH.
You can bet your bottom dollar that these devils that kill both, the send gifts to each other.
They got, they thought, got rid of these "TWO WITTNESSE THAT CAUSE THEM SO MUCH TROUBLE".
The Holy ghost, as Jesus says...
Matthew 10:32-42 (KJV) Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother-in-law.
And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
I have been in the church buildings, off and on for 64 years, and I have only had "ONE YOUNG MAN, YES THIS YOUNG MAN, WHEN I VISITED TO TALK TO HIM OF YHE LORD, THE FIRST THING HE DID WAS, SET A COLD GLASS OF WATER IN FRONT OF ME TO DRINK.
NOT ONE OF, IN ALL ORGANAZATIONS HAVE; JUST ONE, GIVEN ME A COLD GLASS OF WATER.
Jesus tells me that this young man, who was going to different churches, came to where I went, a building that those in this building were divided, fighting, and couldn't get along with others, because they were so holy, they think; this young man was contemplating "SUICIDE", and that is why I visited him.
He later COMMITTED SUICIDE"
MY FREIND: HAD THE HOLY GHOST BEEN IN HIS HEART, HE WOULD NEVER HARM HIMSELF.
YOU SEE, I FELT THAT I FAILED THIS SOUL.
I DO PRAY THST HE IS WITH JESUS IN REST.
TODAY, SUICIDE IS RAMPANT, HATE, FAIMILYS KILLS EACH OTHER, AND WARS ARE EVERYWHERE, YET DONT SAY HOLY GHOST, IT OFFENDS LITTLE CHILDREN.
MY; MY, GOD SEND THE HOLY GHOST BEFORE THOSE PERISH IN HELL FLAMES OF FIRE, AND TORMENT.
WILL YOU PRAY WITH ME THAT GOD GIVE THIS WORD, THE NATION YOU ARE IN, A BAPTISM OF YHE HOLY GHOST, WITH THE EVIDENCE OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES.
DONT TRY TO COMMUNICATE TO ME, JUST COMMUNICATE IN THE HOLY GHOST. THEN I WILL FEEL THE EFFECTS OF YOUR PRAYERS, AND THE HOLY GHOST, THAT GOD WILL KEEP POURING OUT OF HIS SPIRIT.
AS PAUS SAID...THAT "THE POWER OF GOD MAY REST UPON ME", AND UPON, AND IN.YOU ALSO.
I DONT NEED A LEER JET.
THE HOLY GHOST CAN SPEAK EVERY LANGUAGE, CAN UNDERSTAN EVERY LANGUAGE, AND BE OVER THE ENTIRE EARTH IN A FLASH.
JUST COMMUNICATE WITH GOD, WALK IN THE SPIRIT.
THEN YOU WILL NOT FULFILL THE LUST OF THE FLESH.
STAY TRUE TO GOD.
GOD BLESS YOU IN THE HOLY GHOST IS MY PRAYER!
