Annointing with God's Holy Spirit
Robert I wish I had been taught properly about God's Holy Spirit when I first became a Christian.
I wish we in the church didn't have to be so shy about mentioneing the indwelling of God's New Relationship with us, His new Temple,
our bodies.
Thank on that. "WOW" God in us!
We are the Temple of God. We are in worship and fully conected with Him not just when we "go" to church.
What we taeach is soooo shallow.
"Ok let's go to church so that we can worship God?
What ????? Stop worshipping God from our hearts so that we can go to
an earthly dwelling built by hands to encouter God?
I DON'T THINK SO.
If our minister are afraid to teach the truth concerning the Holy Spirit, "FIRE THEM"
If our elders reject this teaching, SHUN THEM and tell it to the church.
Tired of dead religionist who are teaching "another" Gospel! Clay
2 Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
17The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching. 18For the Scripture says, "Do not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain," and "The worker deserves his wages." 19Do not entertain an accusation against an elder unless it is brought by two or three witnesses. 20Those who sin are to be rebuked publicly, so that the others may take warning.
Grace and peace Clay
