CHAPTER 16 (4 of 5)

PROPHETS

-

Satan knows a Christian filled with the Holy Spirit is a significant threat to him, his wicked devices, and kingdom of Darkness.  In every account in the book of Acts, whether specifically mentioned or implied, a God given language followed being Baptized with the Holy Spirit.  It is because of the five references given in the book of Acts, where Christians received the Holy Spirit, and a prayer language (tongues/glossolalia) flowed, it is taught that receiving a prayer language is a God given proof to everyone present, as well as ourselves that a Christian has received the Baptism with the Holy Spirit and the endowment of power to be an effective and powerful witness for God;  I can say also, a more successful ability to be a "faithful and true witness” just like Jesus.

-

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:8)

-

And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.  (Acts 2:3-4)

-

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. (Revelation 14:12)

-

There are those who have been taught that the glossolalia and nine Gifts of the Holy Spirit are not for today, teaching the Lie that the Baptism is of satanic origin, causing many Christians who are not Baptized with the Holy Spirit to erroneously believe many false doctrines against the Pentecost event, and to avoid being Baptized with the Holy Spirit altogether. Some teach that the Holy Spirit Baptism event is received at conversion; a doctrine the Bible does not validate. There is nothing to support God's New Birth is the only event received on the Day of Pentecost.  Satan has also been able to cause the Baptism with the Holy Spirit to be despised by encouraging abuse or misuse of the glossolalia, something that was common during the Apostles lifetimes the misuse that Apostle Paul warned against.

-

The revival of the early 1900's began because God caused a renewal for many Christians throughout the world to receive the Baptism with the Holy Spirit and to become powerful witnesses for Him to Evangelize the world. There is Historical evidence this Baptism has - never - ceased to be provided by God for His people. It did not take long for Satan to cause the creation of erroneous doctrines and many abuses of the Gifts, and thereby discourage many Christians from receiving the glossolalia and power of the Holy Spirit for themselves; with the intent of keeping God's church powerless. Rise up O child of God, refuse to wallow in the pig pin of spiritual weakness, and become a force against the Enemy to be reckoned with! Become a greater Threat to Satan’s kingdom of darkness and all demonic activity, which is one of many reasons WHY God has always provided the Baptism with the Holy Spirit for those who are truly born again to be.

***** RISE UP O MEN OF GOD *****

-

Rise up O men of God! Have done with lesser things, give heart and soul and strength to serve the King of Kings.

-

Rise up, O men of God! His kingdom tarries long; bring in the brotherhood and end the night of wrong.

-

Rise up, O men of God! The church for you doth wait. Her strength unequal to her task; rise up, and make her great.

-

Lift high the cross of Christ! Tread where His feet have trod; as brothers of the Son of man, rise up, O men of God!

-

*******************************

-

Without the endowment of power, received through the Baptism with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8), the Church is unequal to her task. To make God's church great, takes God working through us. A consecrated life of total obedience to God, separation from all worldliness, and a religious spirit full of all its carnal stench (Romans 12:1), coupled with the power of the Holy Spirit makes it possible for us to pillage ruthlessly the kingdom of darkness, and take territory for Christ [souls] to effectively encouraged others to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior of their life.

My Facebook Timeline - www.facebook.com/samuelsiders1 - contains responses I have posted in answer to those who God has had me to share with for over seventeen years on Facebook Forums created to share the Scriptures. My activity about sharing the Word of God with Muslims, other false Cults, and with those who profess to be Christian continues; this open door that the Lord has made available to me as an Apologist/Teacher is one where worldwide opportunities are made available to all English speaking people around the world from many different countries, races, and religious beliefs.

It is WRITTEN in 1 Peter 3:15 … “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" God wants us to know AND understand His Word (2 Timothy 2:15), “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Jude 3, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend [Gr. agonize with fervent zeal] for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”

On occasion a Muslim or even an Atheist will post a False Meme claiming Judaism/Christianity has its origin with Pagan Religions the first of which is - falsely claimed – to be Hinduism; BIBLICALLY the “claim” about Judaism/Christianity is False. Genesis gives the evidence that Nimrod was the origin of the first Pagan Religion after the Flood, and there is Archeological evidence Nimrod had an impact on other cultures creating a Pagan Religion like for example in Egypt. A Muslim name Al J this past week posted one such false Meme. What follows are two of the responses I posted to – defend against – Al J false claim that Judaism/Christianity had its beginning in Pagan religions, but it is a Historical Fact that Islam has its Origin with a Pagan Arabian Religion.

Al J ... That meme is a Total Deception and has -- Zero -- to do with the True Almighty God Yehweh, and He is - not - one of the Pagan gods that - Misuse - His name as their own; like for example the false god Allah of Islam that would. The WHOLE meme is that of Pagan Cults - not - BIBLICAL Judaism/Christianity. The True Almighty God Yehweh does Not have a wife and - Never - had a need for one.

=

Al J ... you are no challenge to what I know is biblical and historical Fact; it is You who prove to lack the "background story (history)" not me; over 53 years of serving the True Almighty God has - not - been a waste of His time teaching me how to defend Him and Jesus against Deceivers like you Prove to be.

-

I have done ALL the research necessary over the years to Know your Meme - is - a Lie and Deception of Satan against who the True Almighty God is; Satan whom You like ALL - false cults - prove to serve as well as Atheists who like to pander the false meme deceptions in the attempt to Deceive the Unlearned naïve and gullible like You choose to do; I am Not one of the “unlearned, naïve and gullible.”

-

I have seen multiple false cult memes like yours over the years, know what many Pagan False Cults teach, and FYI as an Apologist, God has provided for me extensive knowledge and understanding how to defend the Bible and the Kingdom of God against deceivers like you have chosen to be with your copy/paste meme.

-

The True Almighty God, and the True Jesus of whom - I always give ALL - the praise, the honor, and the glory for what they have taught me and made me privy to through Almighty God personal Holy Spirit. Unless You repent of your sins then receive the True Jesus as Lord and Savior of you life eternal torment in the Lake of Fire will be you eternal dwelling place.
