According to Jesus, Holy Spirit came to # 1 Guide us into all truth and # 2 Take of what is Jesus' and declare it to us. When we pray in the spirit/in tongues, we are downloading and speaking the hidden wisdom and mysteries of God, as Holy Spirit hears them from the Father and the Son and declares them to us. So, when we pray in tongues, Holy Spirit is communicating things we cannot know in the natural. It's our spirit talking to God to know what the Father and Jesus are saying.

It's the season of gift-giving, and there is a gift, according to the Bible that Jesus wants to give ALL of us. HOW IMPORTANT IS THIS GIFT? WILL WE RECEIVE IT? There is a baptism in Holy Spirit that Jesus wants to give you. It's free! It is an invitation to receive more of what Jesus wants to give you. 13 And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, ‘Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter, 14 who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved.’ 15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning. 16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?” 18 When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.” Acts 11:13-18 NKJV

They were ALL with ONE ACCORD. In ONE PLACE for 7 to 10 days. PRAYING - for the Promise from the Father. And flames of fire set upon EACH OF THEM. They were ALL FILLED with HOLY SPIRIT. And began to SPEAK with other TONGUES. Jesus came to baptize you in Holy Spirit. Believe that the flame of fire on your neighbors head is also on your head, receiving your own individual encounter with Holy Spirit, and believing the same God that offers Holy Spirit to others, is the same God that offers Him to YOU! He's for EACH & for ALL! 1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:1-4 NKJV

“Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” - Paul “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.” - Disciples in Ephesus And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. It is possible to be a believer and a disciple and not have heard about Holy Spirit. Have you heard? If you are a disciple of Jesus (mathētēs - A pupil, committed student; a follower and learner of someone), according to the Bible, it is a basic, elementary part for a new believer's life. The world cannot receive Holy Spirit, but once you are reborn, and have a born-again spirit, then He can baptize you in Holy Spirit, because your spirit can contain what Jesus wants to immerse you into, giving you power for your life as a disciple of Jesus.

If we are Christians, what are we supposed to be doing? We are to be conformed to the image of JESUS! Growing & becoming more like JESUS! Too often our spiritual motivation is comparing ourselves to others, which can sound something like, "Well, I'm not as bad as . . . " When we look at JESUS, we should always see room to grow. It's what christianity is about - constantly look at JESUS to become like JESUS. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Romans 8:28-29 NKJV

Sowing & Reaping - it's a universal law of the Kingdom of God. There is SEED & TIME - TIME - TIME & HARVEST. We must sow into the things of God. If your mind if full of the wrong things, you must begin to plant things that will produce a different result. The things of God are the only things that will matter in eternity. It's time to get your mind full of the things of God. It's time to be a disciple. It's how we prepare for eternity. “While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22 NKJV

Church, we have revelation knowledge from God through Holy Spirit. He speaks what the Father & Son say to your spirit (revelation knowledge) - not to your brain (rational knowledge). It is how God builds us up beyond our own reasoning. 𝐇𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐇𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮. The things you need to know for what is coming, you can't handle or understand without Holy Spirit who guides each of us and declares to us ALL TRUTH! "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you." John 16:13-15

Death? or Life & Peace? | I Will Build My Church

Rationally minded = DEATH Spiritually minded = LIFE & PEACE We must intentionally set our minds on the things of God. What we focus on, what we set our minds on will be how we live. If we set our minds on the things of the flesh, it will be lead by the flesh. If we set our minds on the things of the spirit, it will be in obedience to live by the spirit. Rational knowledge alone is not going to cut it for the time that we are coming into. We need revelation knowledge from heaven more than rational knowledge. 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. Romans 8:6-7 NKJV

Who is Jesus to you? In your heart? What has God spoken to YOU? Knowing & hearing God for yourself is "Personal Revelation Knowledge." Not based on what your parents say, what your spouse says, what your church says - that's called rational knowledge. The Church needs to be careful to not be lead by rational, intellectual knowledge - what others say. It is more important than ever for us to be built up in Jesus, and hearing from God. V 13 & 14 - Rational/Natural Knowledge When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” V 15 & 16 - Personal Revelation Knowledge He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:13-16

How are we building with Jesus as He builds His Church? Jesus is our foundation, and we don't ever stop building on Him. Every single one of us is either planting and water every day FOR God or NOT for God. Eternity is coming, and when we stand before Jesus, when the fire comes, will what we built endure? For each Christian there will be rewards based on our own individual labor. There is an individual accountability in the Kingdom of Heaven. Are you participating in the same activities as God, or are you participating in your own activities, hoping God will bless them?

Church - Jesus said, "I will build my Church." And we, as the ekklesia, are on assignment. ENGAGE the CULTURE of the world & STAND OUT, changing the culture to match the culture of JESUS, the Kingdom of Heaven. 13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” 14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:13 - 19
