Yes, I did litereally read ALL of John 6. You told me to look for the Will of God and the Work of God.

So, you want to discuss the Truth that Yeshua/Jesus is the Bread of Life - He wants us to eat His Flesh (Body) and Drink His Blood. I totally agree! I eat His Flesh and Drink His Blood. All that Yeshua/Jesus has done for me, I receive it all, amen.

Did you go and read ALL the scriptures in the Bible that mention the Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost, Spirit of Truth, Promise of the Father?

no

she wants to TEACH you

does not want to discuss anything

what on earth?

never mind. I actually know :rolleyes::cautious:

I am NOT mixed up and will NEVER be mixed up...and if tomorrow, I couldn´t remember all that I understand from all the scriptures, I still have and will keep ever before me what I began in (Just as John clearly stresses).

For even as Paul said, I desire to know nothing, but CHRiST and HIM CRUCIFIED...which alone is the Hidden Wisdom of GOD made known to all who believe....
We ONLY understand scripture by the Holy Spirit, even Yeshua/Jesus said, "He that has ears to hear, hear what the Spirit is saying."

We're all mixed up when it comes to God's Word - we ONLY understand the Word of God when the Holy Spirit of God gives us understanding, otherwise - we know absolutely NOTHING.

you know, rejection of the Spirit of God means rejecting understanding and relationship with God

when I consider the things I thought I knew...had been taught...to where God has actually brought me because I said to Him once a long time ago that I wanted to know Him as He is and not as people represent Him...well...I understand how little I do know

we are so finite and yet we think we can best the Creator of all things

and God will have none of this phony religious spirit that some would like to bless us with

we have a gift...as you have said...God is serious about what we do with what we have

and I learned a long time ago that ignorance does not protect you no matter the results of your ignorance

I wish people would understand that the spiritual world is not only God

Would you like to remember the reason that Jesus said for judgement I have come into the world?

Please..apart from CHRIST, you can know nothing...It is the reason HE came into the world...for many will profess to know GOD, but he who denies the SON, in a sense, calls GOD a liar...they do not believe GOD´s TESTIMONY. which GOD has given of HIS SON..he who believes has that WITNESS in them who testifies, with their spirit that GODś WORD is TRUTH...

Make the hearts of these people fat and give them eyes that see not, and ears that hear not...LEST THEY SHOULD UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART.....TURN....AND I SHOULD HEAL THEM....

This he said to the unbelieving rabbis...I believe in John 9...these ẅise, teachers of the word´ couldnt make a right judgement...
Yet an unlearned blind man from birth...could....and did

Be careful, your own words will judge you.

So, proceed with caution and remind of the reason that Yeshua/Jesus said for judgment I have come into this world.....:unsure::love:

No, apart from Christ we can DO NOTHING that will last or be for the Kingdom of God. WITHOUT the Holy Spirit we can KNOW NOTHING.

NEVER have I denied Yeshua/Jesus Christ my Lord, Savior and King.

Is this what you think I have done? :unsure:

Let it be clear, since I seem to be confusing some...CHRIST is the ONE who opens the eyes and the ears of the heart to the Truth of the GOSPEL...and is also the ONE who will send the Comforter who will speak what HE tells HIM...and what HE tells HIM, will glorify HIM...for the HOLY SPIRiT does not speak of HIMSElf, but what HE hears,...and shall glorify HIM

The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.


should be applied right about now

stuff going on in this thread that is not normal disagreement

man

do I have to spell it out?

You are separating HIS SPIRIT? By whose SPIRIT are we quickened?

Godś or The Son...
If indeed, you will say they are separate

the blood of Christ already covers me and is between every spirit that is not of God whether human or demonic

Christ's blood has overcome the devil and all of his kingdom

no lie, no power, no authority, no angel nothing...can separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus my LORD

Jesus is Lord and there is no other

Yes. That is truth...so why are some here trying to sell the HOLY SPIRIT that can not come upon anyone unless it is through faith in JESUS CHRIST and the GOSPEL first?!

Its is actually the work of one faith as a labor of love accredited to one Spirit the Holy Spirit of God also called the Spirit of Christ. The one Spirit of faith the unseen eternal . It is the mutual work of two working as one that baptizes us through the water of the word into the family of believers.

Ephesians 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

No father, no Son .Know the Son, know the father .

My dad was an Assembly of God preacher/evangelist. My bio and Christ sister still speaks in tongues and she is a very reasonable, honest, and humble woman. I believe it is a gift but not given to all.

I now belong to a non denominational church. However, I would love to have this gift. I have asked for it. I believe the gift of tongues are still alive and well, but also believe that the gift isn't for everyone, every saved person. I do know of the verses that say they will be no longer but I do not believe it is yet. I do NOT know. Honestly, I can only imagine such a gift being a beautiful and amazing blessing.

I was alone when I prayed to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and immediately I did speak in tongues

I sing in tongues and pray in tongues and I can tell you that I could not make up such beautiful words to God when I translate what I sing

sadly, there is much abuse with the gifts today and tongues are not used the way the Bible ... through Paul's teaching...describes

I pray God does grant your request and fill you with His Spirit and give you the gift you desire

hugs and God bless you
