Being “Filled” With The Spirit Of Yahoshua?

 
 

Acts 2:38-39
You SHALL Receive The Gift Of The Holy GhostFor The Promise [Of The Holy Ghost] Is To And For You And Your Children, And To And For ALL That Are Far Away.

Is It Holy Ghost Or Holy Spirit.

  1. Some Folks Prefer To Say “Holy Spirit” As They Think Of Halloween or Casper The “Friendly Ghost” Or “Ghost Busters”.  In Two Places The Holy Spirit Is Actually Referred To As “The Spirit Of Christ”, (Romans 8:9; 1 Peter 1:11).

  2. While Others, (Myself Included), Prefer To Say “Holy Ghost” As This Is “The Ghost Of Yahoshua”.  I See The Holy Ghost As More Personal, (John 14:16;26).  To Me The Holy Ghost Is A Person, And Is The Personality Who Can Only Dwell In Those Who Believed And Received Yahoshua.  The Holy Ghost Is The Permanent Presence Of Yahoshua As A Resurrected Body In You, (John 14:20; Revelation 3:20). (Genesis 1:2).  To Me, The Term Holy Ghost Confers Power, (Acts 1:8).  Whereas The Holy Spirit Is Vague Like A Cloud, And Like Yahweh’s Spirit That Hovered Over The Face Of The Waters, (Genesis 1:2) And It Was The Spirit Of Yahweh Which Came On Mary To Conceive Yahoshua.

  3. Whatever You Call “The Comforter”… “The Holy Ghost”, Or “The Holy Spirit”, They Are All The Same Person Of The Trinity.  But, Whichever Conveys To You Someone Talking Personally To You Is The Handle That I Would Go With.

This Is A Love Letter From Yahweh.

 
God Heard You If You Said, “I Have Never Been Urged By God To Begin Praying In Tongues”.  I Say To You That God Has Been Urging You To Begin Praying In Tongues.  Not In A Voice That You Hear Out Loud, But It’s Right There In His Word, (In Yahweh’s Word), And You Just Haven’t Picked It Up And Read It.  IF I [Can] Speak In The Tongues Of Men And [Even] Of Angels, But Have Not Love…, (1 Corinthians 13:1).  I Know This Because, “Faith Comes By Hearing And Hearing The Word Of God”.  Yes, You Hear With Your Ears; But When You Hear With Your Heart A Revelation Explodes On The Inside Of You And That’s When Faith Arises Faith Comes By Hearing And Hearing The Rhema’, <4487> or ‘Revealed From Yahweh Word’ And You Shall Know The Truth And The Truth WILL Set You Free~!   (Romans 10:17, John 8:32).

Faith To Begin To Do Everything Works Just Like This Following Example.
 
But These Are The Ones Sown On Good Ground, Those Who Hear The Word, Accept It, And Bear Fruit: Some Thirtyfold, Some Sixty, And Some A Hundred, (Mark 4:20).  In Other Words”
 
1st  You Hear The Word.
2nd You Believe The Word, (This Is When The Revelation Of The Word Ignites Something In Your Heart)
3rd You Act Based On The Revealed Word, (Acting Apart From The Revelation Of What God Is Wanting Done Is Just Presumptuousness).
 
Well, Here’s Some Verses, Not Many Just Some Scripture References To Help Faith Explode Inside Of You.

But Before I Tell Them To You, Let’s Go Back In Time From The Previous Emails And Watch From Afar As Someone Says,

“I Have Stuck It Out When I Wanted To Leave So Desperately, For The Past Year. I Think My Health Is At Risk And My Sanity As Well As My Kids Emotional Well Being If I Stay And I Can’t Imagine God Wanting Me To Stay Anyway, But I Want To Know What Yahweh Is Telling Me To Do”.

I’m Learning Spanish, (or As They Say In Mexico, “Español”).  One Of The Phrases Is, “Ahora No”, Which Sounds Exactly Like In English, We Are Saying, “I Oughta Know”, or In Alabama We’d Say, “I Oughta Have Known That”.  It Actually Means, “Not Here”, Like When A Waiter Asks You If This Is A Good Table, But You Spy Someone Smoking In Close Proximity And You Say, “Not Here.  Can We Have Another Table?”

Now, Basically This Person Was Pleading Above In My Example Was Saying, “I Know Not What We Should Pray For As We Ought”. “I Oughta Know” This, It’s Right On The Tip Of My Tongue, (I Had To Toss In That Part About The Tongue, Because We’ve Been Saying It Right).  Now, Look At Yahweh’s Word I Promised.

Comforter

Romans 8:26-27

26 So Too The [Holy] Spirit Comes To Our Aid And Bears Us Up In Our Weakness;
For We Do Not Know What Prayer To Offer Nor How To Offer It Worthily As We Ought, (Amplified Bible Classic Edition).

Does That Sound Like You, “Is This What You Were Saying”.  “I Want To Know What Yahweh Is Telling Me To Do”,
(Now Look At The Rest Of The Verse)“

But The Spirit Himself Goes To Meet Our Supplication And Pleads In Our Behalf
With unSpeakable Yearnings And Groanings Too Deep For Utterance
.

27 And He Who Searches The Hearts Of Men Knows What Is In The Mind Of The [Holy] Spirit [What His Intent Is], Because The Spirit Intercedes And Pleads [Before God] In Behalf Of The Saints According To And In Harmony With Yahweh’s Will, (Amplified Bible Classic Edition).

The Cry Was, “I Don’t Know How To Pray As I Ought”, The Scripture Says That When These Occasions Arise That If You’ll Allow The Holy Ghost To Come To Your Aid And To Pray Through You In Your Voice That He Will Search The Hearts Of Men, (Human-Kind) And Intercede And Plead In Behalf Of The Saints, (We Are Saints), According To, And In Harmony With Yahweh’s Will.

So, Do You Still Want To Say But, “I Have Never Been Urged By God To Begin Praying In Tongues”, Yet You Say, “I Want To Know What Yahweh Is Telling Me To Do” or Basically You’re Saying, “I Don’t Know How To Pray As I Ought”.

Knowing The Protocol

Suppose You Were Asked To Ride On Air Force One, And That The President Wanted To Have A Conversation With You.  You Would Not Be Able To Converse With Him On His Level About Things Of National Security or Protocol Codes.  However, He Would Have To Come Down To Your Level or Bring You Up To Speed On What He Knows In A Very Short Amount Of Time.

Well, That Is The Way It Is When We Go To Talk To Abba Father, The God That Created The Universe And ALL That Is Within.  We Don’t Know How To Talk To God.

God, Being The Loving Father Has Created A Way That We Can Talk To Him In A Way Is Beyond Our Understanding.

For He Who Speaks In A Tongue Does Not Speak To Men But To God, For No One Understands Him; However,
In The Spirit He Speaks Mysteries. (1 Corinthians 14:2)

For If I Pray In A Tongue, My Spirit Prays, But My Understanding Is unFruitfu l”, (1 Corinthians 14:14)

Isaiah 55:10-11,For As The Rain Comes Down, And The Snow From Heaven, And Do Not Return There, But Water The Earth, And Make It Bring Forth And Bud, That It May Give Seed To The Sower And Bread To The Eater, So Shall My Word Be That Goes Forth From My Mouth; It Shall Not Return To Me Void, But It Shall Accomplish What I Please, And It Shall Prosper In The Thing For Which I Sent It.

When You Pray In Tongues, You Return Yahweh’s Word And You Speak To God His Perfect Word,
(Mysteries To You, But My Understanding Is unFruitful) Over Whatever Situation You Are In.

 Temple

1 Corinthians 14:4 ~ He Who Speaks In A Tongue Edifies Himself.

The Greek Word Used For Edifies Himself Is The Word Oikodomeo, (Strong’s Concordance #3619).  This Word Means To Build A House, To Erect A Building.  I Compare It To Building A Radio or A TV That Can Receive Signals From The Air ALL Around Us.

It’s Like We Are A Radio or TV, And There Are Radio Waves ALL Around Us, or TV Signals.  Right Now At This Moment, Your Favorite Radio or Television Station Is Broadcasting.  But, Unless You Have A Helper, Like A Radio or TV, You Cannot By Yourself Pick Up This Signal.

Concerning Hearing From God, We Are Designed To Be The Radio Receiver And Our Helper Is The Holy Ghost, The Comforter.

However, When He, The Spirit Of Truth, Has Come, He Will Guide You Into ALL Truth; For He Will Not Speak On His Own Authority, But Whatever He Hears He Will Speak; And He Will Tell You Things To Come, (John 16:13).

However, We’re More Like A Radio Kit That Has Not Yet Been Built And, As We Begin To Get Into Praying In The Spirit, Then Something Happens On The Inside Of Us, And We Get Edified.  Or To Keep In Context Of My Illustration, The Radio or TV Parts Get Built That Allow Us To Receive The Signals That Are Flowing From God.

Just To Put It In A Way That You Can See It Better.  Here Is What Yahweh’s Word Wrote, “He Who Speaks In A Tongue Edifies Himself, And Edifies”, Is Defined To Mean, Build A House, To Erect A Building”.  Edify Means To Build Up, As In Erecting A House, (Strong’s #3619).  We Are Building Up The House Of Yahweh When We Edify One Another.  Greek Scholars Tell Us We Have A Word In Our Vernacular Today That Is Closer To The Original Greek Than The Word Translated, “Edify”.   And That Word Is, “Charge”, As We Use It In Connection With Building Up A Charge On A Battery.

He Who Speaks In A Tongue Builds A House, (Edifies), Themselves.

Are You Not The Temple Of The Holy Ghost?

Or Do You Not Know That Your Body Is The Temple Of The Holy Ghost Who Is In You, Whom You Have From God, And You Are Not Your Own?

The Traditions Of Folks

What If You Say, “I’ve Been Taught That Tongues Has Been Done Away With By Folks That I Trust”.

They Get That Idea From 1 Corinthians 13:8-12. There Is Just No Other Way To Say This Than To Say, They Have Taken Part Of The Scripture Out Of Context.  Here Is The Full Account.

Love Never Fails. But Whether There Are Prophecies, They Will Fail; Whether There Are Tongues, They Will Cease; Whether There Is Knowledge, It Will Vanish Away.  For We Know In Part And We Prophesy In Part.  But When That Which Is Perfect Has Come, Then That Which Is In Part Will Be Done Away.  When I Was A Child, I Spoke As A Child, I Understood As A Child, I Thought As A Child; But When I Became An Adult, I Put Away Childish Things.  For Now We See In A Mirror, Dimly, But Then Face To Face.  Now I Know In Part, But Then I Shall Know Just As I Also Am Known.

The Perfect Has Not Come Yet As It Is Conditional Upon The Phrase, “But Then”.  I Can Debunk This With One Question.  Are You Seeing Yahoshua Face To Face?  Okay, Two Questions.  Do You Know Just As You Are Known?  The Key Is The Phrase, But Then.  That Time Has Not Come Yet~!  Tongues Have Not Ceased~!

The Traditions Of Folks’, Make The Word Of Yahweh Of NO Effect, (Useless, A Moot Point, Making Void); (Matthew 15:6, 9; Mark 7:9, 13) ~

The Promise

Okay, We Have The Promise Of The Holy Ghost.  Listen To Peter Quoting Joel, (Acts 2:14-17)

“And Afterward 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.  Even Upon The Menservants And Upon The Maidservants In Those Days Will I Pour Out My Spirit”.

Peter Tells Us In Verse 16, That, “This Is What Has Been Spoken By The Prophet Joel”, And Reaffirms This In Verse 33, (And Having Received The Promise Of The Holy Ghost Which You Now See And HEAR ~ The Promise Of The Holy Ghost Is Something That Can Be Heard).

Therefore Being Exalted To The Right Hand Of God, And Having Received From The Father The Promise Of The Holy Ghost, He Poured Out This Which You Now See And Hear, (Acts 2:33).

Now, You Might Say Yeah, I Know ALL That.  I Have The Holy Ghost, And In This Part You Are Correct, You Do Have The Holy Ghost, (Joel 2:28-29)

Now Hope Does Not Disappoint, Because The Love Of God Has Been Poured Out In Our Hearts By The Holy Spirit Who Was Given To Us. (Romans 5:5)

However, Maybe You Have Not Allowed The Holy Ghost To Have All Of You, And You Are Not “Filled” With The Holy Ghost.  Did Anyone See or Hear Anything When You Got The Holy Ghost?

Every Single Time That People Got “Filled” With The Holy Ghost Other Folks Saw And Heard Something.  There Is Always An Outward Manifestation.

And They Were ALL “Filled” With The Holy Ghost And Began To Speak With Other Tongues, As The Spirit Gave Them Utterance. (Acts 2:4)

When The Disciples Got “Filled” With The Holy Ghost There Was A Sound As If A Mighty Rushing Wind.  And Suddenly There Came A Sound From Heaven, As Of A Rushing Mighty Wind, And It “Filled” The Whole House Where They Were Sitting.  This Is What Peter Was Referring To The Promise Of The Holy Ghost, He Poured Out This Which You Now See And Hear~!  ~ (Acts 2:33).

 For With Stammering Lips And Another Tongue He Will Speak To This People (Isaiah 28:11).

In The Law It Is Written, With Men Of Other Tongues And Other Lips Will I Speak Unto This People; And Yet For All That Will They Not Hear Me, Said Yahweh, (1 Corinthians 14:21).

Saw & Heard

Have You Heard About, “Simon The Sorcerer”.  “Simon The Sorcerer”, Got Saved, (Acts 8:13), So He Is Not A Sorcerer Any More, {Even Though He Is Still Referred To As Simon The Sorcerer To Let Us Know This Was The Same Man}.

Acts 8:6-13 ~

6 And The Multitudes With One Accord Heeded The Things “Spoken” By Philip, “Hearing And Seeing” The Miracles Which He Did ~ (Acts 8:6).
7 For Unclean Spirits, Crying With A Loud Voice, Came Out Of Many Who Were Possessed; And Many Who Were Paralyzed And Lame Were Healed.
8 And There Was Great Joy In That City.
9 But There Was A Certain Man Called Simon, Who Previously Practiced Sorcery In The City And Astonished The People Of Samaria, Claiming That He Was Someone Great,
10 To Whom They All Gave Heed, From The Least To The Greatest, Saying, “This Man Is The Great Power Of God”.
11 And They Heeded Him Because He Had Astonished Them With His Sorceries For A Long Time.
12 But When They Believed Philip As He Preached The Things Concerning The Kingdom Of God And The Name Of Jesus Christ, Both Men And Women Were Baptized.
13 Then Simon Himself Also Believed; And When He Was Baptized He Continued With Philip, And Was Amazed, Seeing The Miracles And Signs Which Were Done.
 

Let Me Ask You Some Yes/No Questions.  Was Simon Saved?  Were The Others Saved?

So, Listen To This..  Simon Being Already Saved And According To What You Have Probably Been Taught, Must Already Be “Filled” With The Holy Ghost And Got ALL Of The Holy Ghost The Moment That He Was Saved.  Right?

Acts 8:14-19, The Very Next Verses Of This Same Passage Of Scripture Says,

Acts 8:14-19 ~
14 Now When The Apostles Who Were At Jerusalem Heard That Samaria Had Received The Word Of God, They Sent Peter And John To Them,
15 Who, When They Had Come Down, Prayed For Them That They Might Receive The Holy Spirit.
16 For As Yet He Had Fallen Upon None Of Them.  They Had Only Been Baptized In The Name Of The Lord Jesus.
17 Then They Laid Hands On Them, And They Received The Holy Spirit.
18 And When Simon SAW That Through The Laying On Of The Apostles’ Hands The Holy Spirit Was Given, He Offered Them Money,
19 Saying, “Give Me This Power Also, That Anyone On Whom I Lay Hands May Receive The Holy Spirit”.

Obviously, Neither Simon Nor The People That Had Been Saved Had Received The Promise Of The Holy Spirit With Evidence Of Speaking In Tongues.
46 For They Heard Them Speak With Tongues And Magnify God. Then Peter Answered,
47 “Can Anyone Forbid Water, That These Should Not Be Baptized Who Have Received The Holy Spirit Just As We Have?” (Acts 10:46-47).
Therefore One Can Be Saved And Even Baptized, But Yet Not Be Filled With The Holy Spirit, ~
(“When Simon Saw That Through The Laying On Of The Apostles’ Hands The Holy Spirit Was Given”).

Simon Saw That When The Apostles Laid Hands On The Saved Folks That Something More Was Happening.  It Is Not Said In This Verse, But In The Previous Passage That It Has To Be That Simon Saw And Also Heard Something, For He Was Part Of The Multitudes Referred To In Acts 8:6 That Were “Hearing And Seeing” The Miracles Which Philip Did.  What Did Simon See And Hear?  He Heard Them Receiving And Being “Filled” With The Holy Ghost, And Behaving Just Like The Others Did On The Day Of Pentecost.

And They Were ALL “Filled” With The Holy Ghost And Began To Speak With Other Tongues, As The Spirit Gave Them Utterance. (Acts 2:4)

Peter Corrected Simon, And Watch This:

But Peter Said To Him, “Your Money Perish With You, Because You Thought That The Gift Of God Could Be Purchased With Money~!” (Acts 8:20)

Peter Calls Receiving The Holy Ghost A Gift From God.

Later On Paul Refers Back To What Peter Said On The Day Of Pentecost, A Promise.

Christ Has Redeemed Us From The Curse Of The Law, Having Become A Curse For Us, (For It Is Written, “Cursed Is Everyone Who Hangs On A Tree”*), That The Blessing Of Abraham Might Come Upon The Gentiles In Christ Yahoshua, That We Might Receive The Promise Of The Spirit Through Faith~! (Galatians 3:13-14)

Has Yahoshua Come?  Do We Still Have The Promise Of The Holy Ghost or Is That Only For The First 120 Customers?

Hint From Peter’s 1st Sermon.

You Shall Receive The Gift Of The Holy Ghost.  For The Promise [Of The Holy Ghost] Is To And For You And Your Children , And To And For ALL That Are Far Away, (Acts 2:38-39).

Speaks To God

For We Do Not Know What Prayer To Offer Nor How To Offer It Worthily As We Ought, (Romans 8:26)

Paul Says Again In 1 Corinthians 14:2

For He Who Speaks In A Tongue Does Not Speak To Men But To God, For No One Understands Him;
However, In The Spirit He Speaks Mysteries.

For We Do Not Know What Prayer To Offer, “In The Spirit We Speaks Mysteries”.

I Didn’t Believe In Tongues At ALL.  I Was Wildly Opposed To Them.  But The Clincher For Me Was On April 13, 1989, Where I Saw That Yahweh’s Word Clearly Said, “And These Signs Will Follow Those Who Believe: In My Name They Will Cast Out Demons; Then Will Speak With New Tongues~!”, (Mark 16:17).

But You, Beloved, Building Yourselves Up On Your Most Holy Faith, Praying In The Holy Ghost

In Acts 1:2 We Find That Yahoshua Made A Command, And A Command Is A Lot Different Than A Recommendation. or A Suggestion, This Is A Commandment“

And Being Assembled Together With Them, He Commanded Them Not To Depart From Jerusalem, But To Wait For The Promise Of The Father, “Which”, He Said, “You Have Heard From Me, For John Truly Baptized With Water, But You Shall Be Baptized With The Holy Ghost Not Many Days From Now, (Read John 14:17; John 15:26; John 16:13 When Yahoshua Made The Promise That God Had Already Prophesied Through Joel That Yahoshua Would Make The Promise).

You Should Not Preach, or Teach or Prophesy Without First Waiting To Be “Filled” With The Holy Ghost.

Again, I Implore You To Heed These Words InJude 1:20 When You Don’t Know How To Pray As You Ought.

But You, Beloved, Building Yourselves Up On Your Most Holy Faith, Praying In The Holy Ghost.

“Glossolalia” or, “Speaking In Tongues”, Occurred At Romans 8:28 And Follows Directly After Romans 8:26-27~!

Romans 8:26-28

27 So Too The [Holy] Spirit Comes To Our Aid And Bears Us Up In Our Weakness;
For We Do Not Know What Prayer To Offer Nor How To Offer It Worthily As We Ought.

But The Spirit Himself Goes To Meet Our Supplication And Pleads In Our Behalf
With unSpeakable Yearnings And Groanings Too Deep For Utterance
.
27 Now He Who Searches The Hearts Knows What The Mind Of The Spirit Is, Because He Makes Intercession For The Saints According To The Will Of God.
28 And We Know That All Things Work Together For Good To Those Who Love God, To Those Who Are The Called According To His Purpose.

Obstacles

An Obstacle That We Must Overcome Is That We Want To Pray With Our Minds And With Our Understanding, (And Understanding Won’t Come By Praying In The Spirit).

For If I Pray In A Tongue, My Spirit Prays, But My Understanding Is unFruitful”, (1 Corinthians 14:14)

For He Who Speaks In A Tongue Does Not Speak To Men But To God, For No One Understands Him; However, In The Spirit He Speaks Mysteries. (1 Corinthians 14:2)

But The Hour Is Coming, And Now Is, When The True Worshipers Will Worship The Father In Spirit And Truth; For The Father Is Seeking Such To Worship Him.

 God Is Spirit, And Those Who Worship Him Must Worship In Spirit And Truth”, (John 4:23-24) 

When You Pray In Tongues, You Return Yahweh’s Word And You Speak To God His Perfect Word, (Mysteries, “But My Understanding Is unFruitful) Over Whatever Situation You Are In.
