October 28th Part 8 This will be the last teaching on the Holy Spirit. I mentioned some of the functions last time. This time I will mention some of the symbols. THE SYMBOLS: A. WATER and B. RAIN. We sometimes talk about living water. Look up Zechariah 10:1. It says that we should ask for rain in the time of the latter rain. In Lev.26:4 God says that He would give rain in its season. I have often been singing: “Send me rain!” What we really mean is that the Holy Spirit should come ... (read more)

October 18th Last time I wrote about the gifts of the Spirit. This time I want to write about the unity of the Spirit within the Body of Christ. We read 1.Cor.12:13 “For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body- whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free- and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.” We can compare the Body of Christ with our natural body. That has many different members, both visible and invisible. Some of the most important members are the heart ... (read more)

Part 6 I wrote about the fruits of the Spirit and the works of the flesh last time. This time we look at the gifts. I will mainly stay in Rom. 12 and 1.Cor.12+14. In Rom.12:11 it says that we should be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. We are one body, but the body consists of many parts. Each part has a special function. In 1.Cor.12:14 it says that there are many different gifts of the Spirit, but the Spirit is the same. A gift is not given to us so that we should have something to boast ... (read more)

September 28th Part 5 I completed last chapter by telling how the Holy Spirit came to the house of Cornelius and to us gentiles. We will continue to read the Acts. We start with Acts 11:28. Some prophets had come from Jerusalem to Antioch. One of them was named Agabus. The Spirit showed him that there would come a great famine over the whole world. Then the disciples decided to send help to the brothers in Judea. We can hear the same thing to-day. I have heard many testimonies from people who ... (read more)

September 18th Part 4 This time I will go through the Acts, but before that I will write a little about the last days of Jesus here on this earth. Jesus died and rose again on the third day. He carried all our sins, broke all the curses of the devil and by His stripes we are healed. (Is.53:4+5) Jesus appeared to His disciples after His resurrection. He was with them several times. Each gospel quote different things from what He said before He ascended to Heaven. (Matt.28:18-20 and Mark ... (read more)

September 8th Part 3 Jesus was born in a stable in Bethlehem. An angel came and told some shepherds on the field about the birth of Jesus. The place was filled with a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, saying: “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” Every boy who was eight days old should be circumcised according to the laws of Moses. The parents of Jesus wanted to do the same with Him and they took Jesus to the temple. There they met Simeon ... (read more)

August 28th Part 2 I will continue with examples from the Old Covenant. I start with Nehemiah. He was called by God to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. In chapter 9 he talks about the time they had in the desert. He talks to God and says in verse 20: “You also gave Your good Spirit to instruct them, And did not withhold Your manna from their mouth, And gave them water for their thirst. ” I used last times many examples to show that the Spirit came upon people and they prophesied. ...

August 18th Part 1. God is One and God is Three. This is a mystery, but still important to understand. We have all some kind of imaginations about The Holy Spirit. These are not always true. I will not insist on having the whole truth about Him, but will share that which has been revealed to me. The Holy Spirit was there from the very beginning, just as God and Jesus. He is already mentioned in the second verse of the Bible. “And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the ... (read more)
