In our modern world people cannot
function without good cel phone service. As in the physical, even so
in the spiritual.
Every born again child of God needs the HOLY
SPIRIT CONNECTION to be able to function properly in the kingdom of
God.
The HOLY SPIRIT CONNECTION has always been the core of our
unity with Jesus, however very few believers ever become connected.
Most believers just practice religion.
The Holy Spirit was given
on the day of Pentecost. Before Jesus ascended to heaven, after being
crucified and resurrected, He co23mmanded His disciples to go to
Jerusalem and wait for the Holy Spirit. We read about it in Acts
chapterss 1 & 2. " 1When the day of Pentecost had come, they
were all together in one place. 2And suddenly there came from heaven
a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house
where they were sitting. 3And there appeared to them tongues as of
fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them.
4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak
with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance."
Acts 2:1-4.
Not only did they receive the Gift, but it was
promised to all who receive Jesus thereafter. We read in Acts 2:38,39
"Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in
the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you
will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39“For the promise is for
you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the
Lord our God will call to Himself.”
Wherever the gospel of Jesus
was preached, those who believed and were baptized in water also
received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. They received the HOLY
SPIRIT CONNECTION, that He promised to all who receive Him.
Those
who have received the Holy Spirit baptism can speak in tongues. They
can pray in tongues The Holy Spirit prays in and through them when
they pray in tongues and their "spiritual battery" is
charged. If they neglect praying in tongues, worshiping in spirit and
in truth their "battery goes flat." They have no reserve of
"extra oil." They are spiritually depleted and weak. We
read in 1 Corinthians 14:2 " 2For he who speaks in a tongue does
not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he
utters mysteries in the Spirit. 3But he who prophesies speaks to men
for their edification, encouragement, and comfort. 4The one who
speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies
edifies the church." You have to pray in tongues to edify
yourself, before you can even edify others. Your "tank needs to
be filled".
Our tank get's filled when we pray in the
Spirit, pray in tongues: "In the same way, the Spirit helps us
in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the
Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.
27And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit,
because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of
God." Romans 8:26,27.
In the New Testament church, the called
out assembly, those who were not yet speaking in tongues were the
exception. They were the ones seeking to be filled with the Holy
Spirit to also have the HOLY SPIRIT CONNECTION. They were not full of
Bible knowledge, doctrines and teachings. They were filled with the
Holy Spirit and being led by the Holy Spirit. They had the mind of
Christ because He dwelled in them.
The Holy Spirit will
teach us all things, and guide us into all truth IF we have received
Him, if we have been connected. That is why we need to receive the
baptism in the Holy Spirit and pray in tongues, to be charged, filled
up, energized by the Holy Spirit.
Have you received Jesus,
repented, been baptized in water and have you received the Holy
Spirit baptism that he promised to those who obey Him?
Are we
CONNECTED to Jesus, by the Holy Spirit, STAYING CONNECTED and STAYING
CHARGED?
May Jesus bless you.
