NO SUBSTITUTE FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT


For a born again, Spirit filled saint,
there is no substitute for the Holy Spirit. Do not listen to other
saints. Do not look for answers in the Bible. Do not trust in your
own understanding of Bible verses. If you do, you will be destroyed.
Sadly very few Christians are born
again and have received the Holy Spirit. Most of those who have
received the Holy Spirit never learn to follow and obey His guidance.
The born again Spirit filled saint operates under guidance of the
Holy Spirit. His wisdom and direction comes from the Holy Spirit.
The saint does not allow his fleshly
desires and lusts to dominate his life. It is written: “So
then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live
according to the flesh—
13for
if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the
Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will
live. 
14For
all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.”
Romans 8:12-14.
If
we are serious about following Jesus we will set our minds on Him,
seek Him, wait on Him and be led by the Holy Spirit.
May
Jesus bless you.

A Fatal Relationship with the Bible



Most people who call themselves Christians have a fatal relationship with the Bible. They are continuously busy with the Bible, with scriptures, justifying themselves, proving their salvation, instead of LISTENING to the Holy Spirit. Jesus gave the Holy Spirit to convict the world of SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUDGEMENT. He also gives his Holy Spirit in those who seek Him, who FOLLOW Him and who OBEY Him.
Your relationship with the Bible takes you AWAY from Jesus. If you are busy with the Bible, Bible study, scriptures, looking for verses that apply to your situation, looking for guidance, working out equations of salvation using certain scriptures, then you are not busy with Jesus Christ. You need to be LISTENING to the Holy Spirit, not studying the Bible, the writings of men.
Those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Those who occupy themselves with Jesus Christ, who are SPIRITUALLY CONNECTED to Him, LISTENING, FOLLOWING and OBEYING Him they are in the RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ. But those who ignore Him, who occupy themselves with their Bible are engaged in a FATAL RELATIONSHIP because they will stand before Jesus and He will say to them: “Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness,” because they were busy with their Bibles and not LISTENING to the Holy Spirit. They had no relationship with Jesus Christ Himself.  
How is your relationship with Jesus? Are you following and OBEYING Him? Are you doing what is pleasing to Him? Are you receiving CONFIRMATION from Jesus that He Himself is pleased with you? Do you PRAY, LISTEN and WAIT on the Lord or do you just read your Bible? Get to know Jesus and follow Him or you will end up in damnation WITH YOUR BIBLE.

May Jesus bless you.
