The work of the Holy Spirit: Living in the Supernatural

 Let me first begin by saying that every born again believer has the Holy Spirit, we receive this gift upon our acceptance of Jesus as Savoir. The new birth experience, we must not confuse that with infilling. 

The Bible teaches that there are two groups of nine in connection with the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. In the new birth experience, there are the ninefold manifestation of the fruit of the born again human spirit th...at Paul lists in Galatians 5:22-23. We all know that something happen to the disciples after Jesus breathed on them because the Bible tells us that upon their return to Jerusalem and even before the Day of Pentecost according to Luke 24:52,53 it says they were filled with great joy: And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. The same men that ran out of fear during Jesus trial. Well what was they waiting in the upper room for since they had already receive the Holy Spirit? They were waiting to receive the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, to be baptized with the Holy Spirit; to be endued with power (Dunamis) the power of God on them. Many in the church seem to think just because we have the indwelling presence of God inside; that there is no reason to press on. And because of that reasoning many in the church has fallen away. The disciples waited, and according to Acts 1:14, they all continue with one accord in prayer and supplication with the women. I can hear the Spirit of the Lord speaking, we'll to busy in our personal lives to ever bring the power of God to our churches. The gateway into these nine supernatural manifestations of the Holy Spirit comes with a price, that seem we are unwilling to pay. These nine gifts we find in 1Cor. 12:7-11, But the Manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit The Word Of Wisdom; to another The Word Of Knowledge by the same Spirit; To another Faith by the same Spirit; to another the Gifts Of Healing by the same Spirit; To another The Working of Miracles; to another Prophecy; to another Discerning of Spirits; to another Divers kind of Tongues; to another The Interpretation Of Tongues; These gifts are given so that God may be glorified and so that we may bless others. It's time to throw away all the programs, and what we think God wants, and come together as a body of believers, and do as the disciples did in the upper room; Pray and Fast, it gives me goose bumps just thinking about it. More this week. Be Bless and Amen
