Thank you for your reply. I don't remember seeing any post in my email 'From what I've read here, from you, I would believe you have already received the Holy Spirit', I don't seem to be getting all the post to my email for some reason & I even got an email from myself in reply to Chris the other day about my dad having an affair, so I don't know what happened there. I have wrote other post on here & had no replies at all ?
The voice inside me sounded like a warning, It said either Nazi camp or Nazi Germany & then it said either Haxley or Huxley drive or avenue or something similar & for a split second I saw a street sign saying the same thing then woke up (I googled these things and found nothing interesting), but before I heard the voice inside me, A voice woke me up saying 'Claire',1st time it sounded like my dad, 2nd time was an unknown male voice saying 'Claire' & 3rd time was like the 2nd voice saying 'Claire', these voices were weeks or even months apart & I ignored them out of fear. I have never heard voices before & I haven't heard them since. the Bible says Resist the devil, and he will flee from you, so I presume the voices were from him.
When you say The Holy Spirit taught you that it was satan, how does the Holy Spirit teach you, do you hear a voice or does he bring a scripture to mind or something ?
I first felt the vibrations around the first weeks of the Covid 19 lockdown, I can't remember if I was fasting or not, but since then I feel them more frequently. I think it's when I'm doing Bible related things when it happens though & I feel encouraged that this happens to other people out there too & that I'm not going crazy. I don't think I mentioned this experience to the pastors at church because I felt mocked about other experiences I've told them about. Thank you for all your words of encouragement.
God bless you & your family.
Kind Regards
Claire
Three Questions: Why was Jesus baptized? Why did the Holy Spirit come upon Him? Why did God speak from Heaven?
1. Jesus didn't need water baptism ( Mt 3:15) as that baptism by John was for a demonstration of one's acknowledgement & repentance for sins (not like Believers' Baptism today which is identification with the death & resurrection of Christ). John himself said that it was he that needed Jesus's baptism, which was not a water baptism but a spiritual one ( Mt 3:11).
2. Jesus didn't need the Holy Spirit to come upon Him or in Him - he was sinless, filled with the Divine in the womb, birthed from God's Seed without human contribution & using Mary as the vehicle to bring His Son into the world with flesh & blood. Jesus was later tempted by Satan to sin & to receive a sin nature but He withstood him with the Word of God, His Own Authority.
3. God could have remained silent during this time, but He chose to speak from Heaven.
What do these events tell us? It was the inauguration of Jesus' Ministry on Earth taking Him all the way to the Cross. His baptism identified Him in His priestly role ( Exodus 29:4, Leviticus 8:6) through priestly washing & also pointed in a faint manner, His prophesied death & resurrection, to which all who put their trust in Him would replicate by identification.
Then two more confirmations from Heaven for the benefit of those around to Jesus' Life & Work: the Spirit descended upon Him confirming His priestly position through an anointing ( Exodus 29:7, Leviticus 8:12) & God's verbal confirmation of Who Jesus is & acceptance of His position & work, as was in the days of Moses & Aaron ( Exodus 29:42-46).
Jesus came to fulfil a high priestly role that no earthly high priest could fulfil ( Hebrews 7:11-28) & all that took place at the Jordan, pointed to Jesus as sent from Heaven to make full payment for sin - no priest could ever do that.
Isaiah 3 v 12
As for my people , children are your oppressors , and women shall rule over them . O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths .
Many false prophets, and women leaders are popping up every where , the next president of the USA could easily be the next and she is no saint . They the children in understanding are trying now to over throw civilized countries, it's happening now even in the USA and around the world . I hope not and pray not but if so there is a reason for it . We are in end times .
Seek the Lord and his kingdom first !
... that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD GOD , even thou only .
That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is GOD and there is none else .
Here we see God anointing Jesus for service with the Holy Spirit .
Gods in Control over the other two , no surprise to me .
If all three where equally God this never would have needed to happen .
Yes God is sovereign in all things .
I'm quite happy in the Lord even losing sleep because of his blessing !
The word just comes alive like when Jesus spoke it to people!
Awesome get some !
We all need to come together in the Lord and help one another. Learn from one another. Sharing our Testimonies that show what the Lord has done in our lives. Truth. To Love one another unconditionally. God is love, Jesus Christ is Lord.
God Bless everyone. My prayers flow to all.
I don't know if you saw my other post to you that I wrote. From what I've read here, from you, I would believe you have already received the Holy Spirit.
First) You stating you have heard a voice from inside you. One thing I am going to tell you for your protection and for your good. God began speaking to me, after giving myself to Christ, and I have never heard voices in my entire life before this. Be careful because satan can speak to you also and may try to imitate the Lord. Trying to make you think it is ok to keep on sinning. Do not worry. You may have to go through some testing but it is for your own good and will make you stronger. God knows everything that is going on. One way you can differ the Lord's voice, not by sound, is by what is being said. God loves you and only wants you to do good things. One tactic satan used was when I would tell the Lord how much I loved Him a voice would say "you don't love me". This broke my heart as I thought this was our Father saying this back to me. But after learning from the Holy Spirit, through experience, this was the voice of satan. I now cast satan out if I ever hear anything I didn't feel that is from my Father or with love in it. And God hears you all the time no matter what. He knows every word out of your mouth, every thing you hear and every thought in your head always. The further you are from Him will discern how close He is with you. The closer you draw to Him, through Christ, the closer He will be to you.
Second) You saying you feel vibrations in your body. This is something else that tells me a person has the Holy Spirit in them. Of coarse I can't say everyone with the Holy Spirit has this. Usually after I pray, hearing praise music, watching certain things of the Lord, or talking with anyone about Jesus Christ, usually other believers, feeling tingling that will flow through my whole body. The stronger it is the happier the Holy Spirit is inside me.
God Bless you sister.
He's not way far away from us. There's like a veil we can't see through. "See through a glass darkly..."
When we pray He is most certainly hearing us. Not big oratory prayers, but speaking heart to heart. We should be still and listen more.
Love that envelopes.
We gotta get over this endless dissecting and disagreeing over scripture and begin to use our skills to help others. Be disciples; not scribes. Peace.
As you see more of God's Hand at work in your life & in people around you, I pray that it will be for the increasing of your faith & love - not only towards the Lord but to others as well. It is difficult to love others when they despise you, but we can still love them for the Lord's sake & do good to them ( Matthew 5:44). Your life will be enriched & blessed. Hope you have a blessed day, Claire.
You say that you want to forgive them & you have done so. Now just let God handle them & continue His work in you & heal you. You can't erase the past but you can cover it with your forgiving spirit & Christ's love & life in you. Read Philippians chapter 4 carefully when you have time. The Apostle Paul was writing to the Church at Philippi & gave them some important advice. Two ladies, Euodias & Syntyche (v2) were at odds with each other & Paul wanted them to 'forgive & forget'. He goes on to give the qualities that Christians should be pursuing for healthy minds & relationships: rejoice in all circumstances (v4); don't be anxious but cast your concerns onto the Lord & leave them with Him - His Peace will then come to you (vv 6,7); remove the sad & ugly thoughts you have & replace them with thoughts that engender purity & loveliness in others - try to see the good in others rather than focussing on the bad (v8); be content with who you are & what you have - God is in control (v11); Paul testified that he could all things & be all things that God wanted him to be only because of Jesus, Who gave him the 'strength' = the will, desire & enabling to override his circumstances, which often were quite terrible. Was Paul perfect in his life? No. Even he confessed that he was weak & could only find his strength in Christ's Grace & Power in his life: 2 Corinthians 12:9, "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." He actually welcomed 'problems', so that he could prove the power & enabling of the risen Christ in his life!
The Lord appeared in a vision over her face. I saw His face looking right at me. I went into shock. My friend left suddenly. I might have creeped her out. I finally got up and fetched the one Bible I had, but had never read. I didn't know how to read it. It's like someone said to look up stars, then: astrologers, everything, till I saw the Death Sentence on them. I put my head on the Bible and said I deserve to die. That's when I saw a vision of hell. It was like snakes looking worms and roots. It was foul and nasty beyond comprehension. I stood on a chair. Minutes later I perceived a hand was held out above me. I didn't see it but I put my hand up and reached for it. I fell off the chair to the floor but hell was gone. I passed out but I know I was touched and delivered from demons. I heard me screaming.
I woke up next morning and I cannot describe the silence. No sound, just peace and calm. I had received the Holy Spirit but I had to learn who He is. It took half a day to rid my home of idols, occult books, drugs, alcohol. I dragged it out to the garage. Next day my friend returned and she was the first person I told I had been saved. I asked her to help me drag the can outside. I poured charcoal lighter over it and set it on fire. Acts 19:19. I dedicated it and me to the Lord. 36 yrs ago on Yom Kippur.
Jesus is alive and He is so powerful. Nothing can tear us out of his hands. The Bible is LIFE; living. No truth withheld. He is Truth!
