I read his word and hear from Him, I dont hear voices in my head though or get special revelation. Gods word is sufficent.

It will never happen to you until you believe there is an experience
until you follow the CRITERIA to get the experience
and make every effort to have the experience
and then HAVE THE eperience

missing any point along the way it wont happen to you

there are criteria



Acts 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the holy ghost,
whom God hath given to them that obey him.

If there is something the Bible said for you to do
and you are not doing it

you cannot have the complete filling oof the spirt

as long as they teach the law is uneccesary no one will have the complete filling eperience to get it
you have to pray
give your heart 100% to God
and obey him in everything
and he will fill you like he will EVERYONE who obeys

it is awesome experience..

then you find something you are doing wrong so you repent and start obeying in that too
and the filling continues more and more
from grace to grace

as long as you are baptized and doing everything youu KNOW is right to do you can ask for the eperience
but if there is something you now you are doing wrong
you will not be filled completely and abide in christ

OK Waters, I guess I will tell of my trip around the world.

I do not hear voices, but the Father has spoken to me, and to many others.

I do not hear voices, but on more than one occasion, the gift of knowledge was given to me insomuch as I was able to tell people before they would tell me where they were from and where they planned on going.

I have been moved by the Holy Spirit to walk through a house, unknown to me, and find a woman outside the house on a mountain side needing the touch of God, and I was used to restore her from a bad trip instantly. No, I did not do it, but God's Spirit came through me into her clearing her mind in a moment.

I have asked the Lord to send me five Jews who did not want to argue the Word but just hear and talk about it in an isolated area in the Rocky Mountains, and they came, in the middle of the night, five Jews.

I almost forgot, not according to me, according to witnesse, the Lord put me in two places at once. All I know about the incicident is I was at my campsite asleep and feeling the love of God all night in my sleep when this occurred about 30 miles away on Long's Peak...long story too.......... I believe God. When we avail ourselves to Him, anything can happen, and it seems ordinary while it happens. It is only afterwards we realize, hey, that was my Dad!

A lot more has occurred because of the Holy Spirit, for me and for all who believe. God is the same always, and in this age, while we have what is called time, there are the same miracles availed to us all as were to the early churches (assemblies - thank you.)

The Spirit of the Lord instructed me to say this to all of you.
The majority of you have had the Holy Ghost fall upon you.
That is what you are describing as what you believe as the
indwelling of the Holy Ghost. None of you that are and will read this
have the indwelling of the Holy Ghost.



Yes this means even you, I am talking to you.



You are violating scripture here. 1 Cor 14.3 says if you prophesy you will speak words of edification, exhortation and comfort. All your doing is using flesh to defend a position. Stop attributing the Holy Ghost to your need to defend a position at all costs.

When it comes to the Holy Ghost there are 2 phrases in the Bible that tell us everything:

Filled


-and-

come upon you

PS: they do not mean the same thing.

I've been confused for quite some time. I'm not sure if I've been filled, or if I haven't been filled. I'm also just rather curious to hear what it's like, and hearing everyone's descriptions. Please describe it the BEST you can.
Also, if the changes in you after the encounter took some time to happen, or if it happened right after? I also always question if I have the Holy Spirit or not, because, well, I've always had a short temper. I still do. So, that really discourages me as to wether or not I have the Holy Spirit. . .

Thanks for hearing me out, and to anyone that answers, thank you.
I once thought it would be like magic or something,I was deathly afraid I didn't have the Holy spirit. I would lay in bed at night and pray and hold my hands up and beg God to enter into me. I would cry,I would think about my children and my wife,all of my family and friends and it was like a panic attack,I didn't know so there was no way I could tell them. You see I love them so I felt completely helpless,that is if I was the daddy and the husband then I was the one to guide them(how could I if I didn't know)?

You've only made 2 post, you've only been a member one full day,don't be discouraged. You started the thread in Post#1 and then watched and now it is page 5 and you never posted again(things can be overwhelming I know). When you stopped posting I looked at your profile and realized you are married and so are probably thinking similar thoughts as others i.e. you want to know God,live a Godly life,have your husband embrace god,raise children,,,(AND KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND AND CHILDREN WILL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER IN HEAVEN),,,<------"thats a good sign",thats what made me sit back and seriously look at the things I was hearing about it all when I was young.,,,

Is it magic,when you receive it then will you then be incapable of stumbling?,,,I read the bible when I was young and didn't understand it,I read it so I could brag to people I did.,it scared me to death when i realized I just wasn't the Superior genius "I THOUGHT I WAS",,,,then hey I looked at my wife and children and was shaking with fear,I realized that there was no way I could teach them the path to God,(because I didn't know),,,

Then a remarkable thing happened,well I went out into the woods and I began to shake and tears ran down my face,,I looked up into the sky and screamed at god "how can I tell them and teach them if I don't know,why wont you touch me or come inside me and make me understand everything?",,,I still cry thinking about that day,,I was very disrespectful to God,,,

It seemed like tunnel vision(maybe me ashamed of what I had done),,but though most may never believe it,,a thought went through my mind,a voice,God speaking(call it what we will),,but it ask,,"if my son died and saved them and I received it as complete, if I believe they are,why don't you?",,,

It was probably the hardest thing to anwser I had ever been ask,that is had I been saying I believed in Jesus and the cross,but not really. You see it doesn't make any sense to live in fear if we actually believe Christ saved me and you and our spouses and children does it? Would you ask Jesus to save you if you believed he saved you already at the cross?,,,There is the dividing line,,,,,,,,"one says they believe,and begs for salvation,which means they deny it",,,the other "believes he saved them on the cross,and are at peace,they relax and begin to give thanks",,,,one is in agony,,the other is at rest.

You are calling He, who sent me a liar.

That is on YOU, not me.

You do not know God nor the scriptures.

And what you think you know, is mostly all incorrect.

And last but not least.

I do not answer to you.

For anything.

1 more thing...I do not owe you an explanation for anything I say or do.

If any of you do not believe what I say, just say..."I do not believe you".
Don't try to discredit me by making stuff up. That will never work for you.

I find it quite interesting that in every thread such as this that there are always those against the Baptism arguing with those who obviously prove they are not who they say they are or have what they claim........ interesting indeed. After all, anyone can 'fake it'.

Not true, the children of God cannot fake it. The only ones faking it are the children of the devil.
have you ever heard of the "beautiful aftermath",,,do you consider the beautiful aftermath or the consequences of leaving her behind?,,,,

It is joy unspeakable and full of glory, not that the world gives, but Jesus. Like a seed planted in your heart and it starts growing until it overwhelms you. Like the parable of the great pearl . Does not mean you will not have battles, it is just
that he is your Lord, the battles belong to him now. Spiritually speaking you are new and walking in the spirit, instead of
the old flesh ways, but mind you," it does not happen over night." It takes time to overcome different things, but it is the Lord
dealing with you and teaching you. The word say's the Holy Spirit teaches us and he does, but it is here a little, there a little. Precept upon precept, line upon line, till the dross of the world is gone from us, so we can shine and become the new
man or woman in him.

There is at times where we do feel Him. We have such a sense of peace and calmness, something that is just not of this world. We feel comforted. But even if we dont have a physical feeling, it doesnt mean we arent filled. Look at the fruits in your life, if you have good fruits, God is working in you :)
Even when there isnt a physical feeling, we are filled when we are bearing fruit and devoted to Jesus.

well yes you do feel peace and tranquility. But, then I want to shout and jump and down and run around the church and do flips and swing from the rafters. Hollywood has tried to imitate that Holy Ghost dance but dreadfully fails. It's like your toes start twitching and moves up to your legs and the next thing you know your hips are not swinging but vibrating and you start stepping and then your back goes and your head snaps back. Kinda like whiplash but it don't hurt. Then you are worried about what other people think so you calm down. But the Spirit aint through. so you holler ands yell and cut a rug all acros the front of the church and turn around and most of the others are doing the same thing. And it feels like heaven like something you never felt and guess what when it's over your not tired nor have a headache. It 's just awesome.

Sounds like you are just showing off your Holy Spirit it those around you. Do you do that kind of thing at say WalMart? Now if you did it at walmart you might be showing it to those that need to see it not to others that believe as you do. I can see showing your joy to others although the people who really need to see it aren't at church.

No sir I am not calling the Holy Ghost a Liar, I am saying the Holy Ghost will only speak of what he hears and will testify of Jesus.

Your comments did neither.

It is very obvious you are moved by emotion and not the Holy Ghost. The scriptures speak for themselves,yet you deny them, it is alos quite obvious you have no real deep knowledge of the HOly Ghost or how HE operates or his ministry. I would start with John 14,15, 16 and then move onto 1 Corinthians 12, 13 and 14.

The receiving of the Holy Ghost gift is like a cloven tongues and fire upon my head an electrifying feeling lighting up from my feet my hands and my head loghting up more radiant than the sun and an overpowering felling of real power and joy a joy that one loves God A feeling of hapiness to jump in the air and yell Father I love you thank you jesus aloud , and this my personal experience.
