I don't have much experience with navigating web sites. I signed on here 11 Sept 2022 and never was on any web sites before and rarely even sent email and don't have smart phone. So my posts are probably messed up some time. I don't care about social media.

You have a soul , Jesus wants to save you. You will live forever. In hell or with Jesus in Heaven . You are offered mercy , forgiveness of sins, and relationship with the Living God. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. You get fixed by being reconciled first . Reconciled to God . You are given the Word of God to lead you and guide you into How to have a relationship with the creator. Being reconciled requires that you surrender your life unconditionally to God. You can believe there is a God that is what the devils do . They are not reconciled and never will be. Anyway looking forward to hearing back from you

I created that painting, the Holy Spirit appeared to me in this form.. The Holy Spirit had something to say to me. I don't know., what do you think ?:unsure:

John 16:13
King James Version
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.
Or
The presence of the Holy Spirit opens you up to see the truth, the deeper meaning hidden in the world. In this Gospel, Jesus calls the Holy Spirit “the spirit of truth” (Jn 14:17):)

  1. The Holy Spirit Dwells Within Us. The Spirit dwells in the church, teaches and guides Christians John 14:26; 15:26; 16:13-14; Acts 5:32.

And The question is why the Holy Spirit appeared to me, He didn't give me a voice i.e. He didn't speak and the Holy Spirit only showed me His own form.What I don't know.

Holy Spirit showed me only this form. Nothing else and Holy Spirit wants to tell me more. He wants to say that I am with you, Siddhi don't be afraid.:confused:

I was wondering if the Holy Spirit stays with us permanently? As many bad situations that I have been in I think it is more ministering spirits. Hebrews 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

It would be Gods' Angels like Hebrews 1:14 that rescue us. But we should pray in Jesus name for the Holy Spirit to open our eyes, ears, and mind.

If your Bible has Book of Psalms that Book seems to have a lot of Prophecy. The Holy Spirit helps us to understand but we must read very very slow and careful and pray to know what it says. Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. ......The word (standeth) need to know if it has some meaning other than the meaning most commentators give. Judas betrayed Jesus. Jesus did not stand in his way. Jesus told the one who dips the bread is betrayer???? Maybe Psalm 1 and the last supper have some connection????!!!

You just need to know that the Holy Spirit is helping you. What you need to do is slowly understand everything in the Bible.

Maybe what Psalm 1:1 is saying, is that we should not try to stop some people from being sinful or carrying out a sinful act. Jesus knew what Judas was going to do and did not stand in his way. Commentaries all make it sound like standeth means to go and be with sinners; to stand with them. Maybe commentators are wrong.

I read commentaries on Bible hub web site but there are probably more commentaries that I don't know about. I am only coming to understand and accept the Bible in the last two to four years and don't know it very well but that does not mean the Holy Spirit won't let me understand.

hey siddihoki, .....prayer is talking to Jesus , just talk my friend. He listens. I let my crippled arm get me down sometimes. I have been to a childrens hospital and seen kids that could do nothing but roll on the ground . God is Jesus and you are definately correct . Jesus is alive. We are created to praise Him forever. You got Him , you have everything . I look forward to getting my arm fixed at the resurrection, small potatoes but I look forward to it. Thanks for sharing.

I was sad that I had cerebral palsy from birth. And I can't walk.I don't want to live in this world In this world, our desires are not fulfilled. I wanted to be the bride of Christ.
I was horrified to see the Holy Spirit
I saw the Holy Spirit flying as a golden dove with own eyes
I was in the car I saw him in left side of wing mirror of car.
I can't read half English Bible .I can only read Marathi Bible.

Hello Siddhi, Chicago weather got colder than usual for past three days. Only around 45 F and almost freezing at night, 32 F, Usual around 60 F. Lake Michigan is close and moderates temperature some but in winter brings more snow at times. Lake effect. The following is from Psalm 104 and is what you saw that day 4Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: and here is some explanation.This is from Matthew Poole's Commentary
flaming fire; or, like a flaming fire; the note of similitude being here understood, as it is Genesis 49:9 Deu 32:22 Psalm 11:1, and oft elsewhere; to which he compares the angels for their irresistible force, and great agility and fervency in the execution of God’s commands. Or the sense is, Who sometimes clotheth his angels with subtile bodies of wind, or air, or of fire, as he sees fit.


Apparently the golden color you saw was done by a kind of fire that maybe Jesus uses like the burning bush in the Old Testament. It is a kind of fire that is a sign but does not cause any damage. I say maybe Jesus because He is the One that used it with the burning bush. The Dove that came down on Jesus, The Holy Spirit seems to not have the Golden color. I think we have to pray for the Holy Spirit to come like in the Gospel of John chapters 14 to 17. Seems ministering Spirit and Angels more likely used to get our attention.

Yes You are right and I said that i saw the Holy Spirit became a spiritual dove. Appearing like golden fire.
biblical account, the bush was on fire, but was not consumed by the flames, hence the name.In the biblical narrative, the burning bush is the location at which Moses was appointed by Yahweh to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and into Canaan.

And
Acts 2:3
King James Version
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
