Worldwide Christians: PART TWO: “TO BE LIKE JESUS!”

“BUT YE SHALL RECEIVE POWER AFTER THAT THE HOLY GHOST IS COME UPON YOU…AND THEY WERE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, AND BEGAN TO SPEAK WITH OTHER TONGUES, AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE.”   (Acts 1:8; 2:4)

BRING IT DOWN ON HOME:

 All Christians need “BAPTISM in the HOLY SPIRIT.”   The Lord told the Disciples, “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 Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the UTTERMOST PART OF THE EARTH.”   (Acts 1:8)

You may be saying, “No I do not need the Holy Ghost because I am saved and obey the Commandments!”   BUT, DO YOU HAVE POWER?  Let’s look at it like this:  Do you NEED gas to drive your car?  Do you regularly service your automobile?  For instance, do you change the oil and filters, get tune ups, check the tires, and rotate the tires?  Without gas (in a brand new vehicle),  YOU AIN’T GOING NO WHERE! With the shortage of money, lots of people skip certain vehicle check-ups and you will see them stopped on the side of the road without vehicular power.

Christians WITHOUT the HOLY GHOST are just like an abandoned or broken down vehicles on the side of the road or parked in the driveway.  What am I saying?  If you do not have the HOLY GHOST, you have NO POWER and need towing to the graveyard!   Also, you cannot preach the Gospel if you DO NOT LIVE IT! Jesus lived this thang!

The Bible puts it,  “FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD.”   What level is your faith and where are your works?  Are you still on the Milk of the Word or are you on the MEAT OF THE WORD of GOD?    There are lots of little babies in Christ Jesus sucking on pacifiers and wearing diapers or training pants!  Are you one of those still in day care?  Have you graduated from diapers to training pants to regular underwear? Have you graduated from Day Care to kindergarten? Have you graduated from kindergarten to First Grade?  Now that you are in Junior High, are you ready for High School?  Are you ready for College or a University?  Or did you drop out or flunk out of College back down to kindergarten?  As you know, one can slide from the mountain top back down to dirt level.  There are more than enough educated fools walking around lifted up in pride.   Ask them this question:   What comes before a fall?    ANSWER: PRIDE.

TO BE LIKE JESUS    is   “TO KNOW WISDOM, INSTRUCTION, KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING, JUSTICE, JUDGMENT, AND EQUITY.”   (Read Proverbs Chapter 1)

Have a Blessed day!
