John 14:26
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and will bring to your remembrance all things that I have said to you.Luke 24:49
And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.Romans 8:9
Now you are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you; but if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not of Him.John 3:3-8
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”Acts 2:37-41
Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.
Given the indisputable evidence and witness of HOLY SCRIPTURE and the Words of the Savior, how can anyone claim to be saved without having died to sin (repented) and having been born again of the Water (BAPTISM/burial into water in the name of Christ) and of the promised gift of the HOLY SPIRIT?
Without having received the promised gift of the HOLY SPIRIT how can anyone claim salvation and obedience and compliance with God and with His Holy Scripture?
Without The HOLY SPIRIT, what power does anyone have to live holy, resist sin, combat evil, stand boldly on God’s Truth and be convicted of transgressions and restored and reconciled to the FATHER?
Without the gift of GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT how are our prayers being prayed and communicated to God?
There are many spirits in the world and in some of our churches and Christian religious organizations and many of these spirits falsely claim to be the Holy Spirit.
But the HOLY SPIRIT is a gift from God alone. He is our intercessor and teacher (John 14:26 and 1 John 2:27). He identifies His arrival by speaking in tongues as the Holy Scriptures indicates (Acts 2:4, Acts 10:45-47 and Acts 19:6). And the Holy Spirit seals our redemption (Ephesians 4:30).
Counterfeit Faith and Church Christianity and Religions do not and cannot save anyone from condemnation or empower anyone to live in accordance with GOD’S commandments and HOLINESS. They do not provide an advocate with the FATHER nor can they yield any useful saving information about God.
They create an illusion of salvation leaving most folks deluded and deceived about their own salvation and the effectiveness of their prayer life.
Unless we have been obedient to God’s ordained plan of salvation and gifted by God with the His Holy Spirit, we don’t have an effective and sure advocate and intercessor between us and the Father.
If you have not been gifted by God with the Blessed Holy Spirit, then what spirit is interceding with God on your behalf?
I need the HOLY SPIRIT in order to be saved and in order to pray effectively.
I cannot live holy here on earth or enter into the Kingdom of GOD without the Ruach HaKodesh (The Holy Spirit).
Some folks are satisfied with their religions and their form of Christianity and that may be alright for some.
But as for me, I have got to have the authentic, unadulterated, pure and powerful PROMISE OF YHVH.
I need the Holy Spirit!
I need Him Now!!!

Tell me something.
How is it that we can admire and love someone, respect their wisdom, their insights and their Faith one moment and then hate, despise and disrespect everything about them the next moment simply because they were rumored to be smoking or drinking or partying?
Does the truthfulness of their advice, wisdom, knowledge and insights suddenly become a lie because they fellowship with drunkards, drug dealers and harlots?
Does the strength of their wisdom suddenly become retarded and weak because they have a glass of wine or smoke a doobie?
Does their Faith and obedience to God and all of His moral 10 Commandments; their selfless love and sacrifice and their love and generosity for orphans and widows become filthy and nullified because they don’t do things like Christians think or envision that they should?
Help me to understand something.
How come profanity spewing, fornicating, marijuana smoking, partying adulterous comedians and some Catholic priests gets to call God’s name and the “F” word in the same breath while professing Christianity without any outrage or protest from anyone or suffer any appreciable repercussion or lost of income, while GOD’S Man is ostracized and damned and made to suffer loss of a career and income for having a glass of wine. Why are the Prophets of YHVH condemned for exposing hypocrisy and homosexuality and other immoralities in the pulpit and in churches while other professed Christians are celebrated in their sins and transgressions?
How come some Pastors who have married multiple times and who have committed adulterous acts and who continue to engage in homosexual relationships and who uses cocaine (crack) and who continues to drink alcohol to excess and who has sex with their female and male congregation members continue to maintain their pastorate without any appreciable repercussions, criticisms or loss of income while the truly chosen, sent, honest and humble servant of God is made to suffer great loss and destitution because of some unsubstantiated rumor or some past unfounded indiscretion?
Please help me to understand this.
What makes a user of narcotic prescription pain medications any better that a person who uses cannabis to cope with their pains?
Why are some folks judged more harshly than others for the same alleged offence?
Why are some of us drug tested for illegal drugs and stigmatized and punished for a positive test result, while others are allowed to work in public schools, government and public service positions as functional alcoholics, racists, terrorists and closet pedophiles?
Maybe you have the answers for all of these obvious double standards, prejudices, biases and hypocritical opinions and perverted and corrupt views on morality and justice.
Maybe you can help me to understand these things.
Please feel free to answer in your own way. There aren’t any limitations on how you may reply.
But please keep it REAL. And Keep it clean.
Mark 2:15-17
Later Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house. Many tax collectors and sinners who were followers of Jesus were eating with him and his disciples. When the experts in Moses’ Teachings who were Pharisees saw him eating with sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” When Jesus heard that, he said to them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor; those who are sick do. I’ve come to call sinners, not people who think they have God’s approval.”
Matthew 11:19
The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they said, ‘Behold the man is a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of Tax Collectors and of sinners.’ And wisdom is justified by its works.”
What seemed to bother the stuffy, “religious” types wasn’t that Jesus went to parties, but that He seemed to enjoy Himself too much among those that they judged as sinners.
We might do well to remember that the Pharisees and other Jewish Religious authorities of the First Century thought that they knew who Yehowshua was simply by observing his social habits and the company that he kept. And because of their own personal human prejudices,judgments, views and traditional biases and values, they dismissed Christ’s message as being false and him as being a faker and blasphemer.
They missed the mark and many rejected salvation.

1 Thessalonians 5:17-24 (CJB)
17 Pray regularly. 18 In everything give thanks, for this is what God wants from you who are united with the Messiah Yeshua.
19 Don’t quench the Spirit, 20 don’t despise inspired messages. 21 But do test everything — hold onto what is good, 22 but keep away from every form of evil.
23 May the God of shalom make you completely holy — may your entire spirit, soul and body be kept blameless for the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. 24 The one calling you is faithful, and he will do it.
If you have the assurance of being saved in accordance with God’s Commands, then protect your gift – The Holy Spirit. Be thankful in all things, even serious illnesses, trials and death. Thankfulness honors God and imitates Christ.
Don’t allow the spark of divinity that was deposited in you by God to be extinguished through evil communications, immoral relationships and the rejection and despising of messages delivered to you by His servants through the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Stay out of sin and be devoted to Holiness with your entire being even as our Savior was devoted to obeying the Father in all things and keeping the Father’s Commandments.
Jealously protect the anointing and the anointing will jealously seal you for the day of redemption.

Have you ever noticed that most professed Christians traditionally claim membership in some socially acceptable or mainstream religious body? And have you noticed that all of these bodies of so-called Christian organizations have different ways of doing things and of interpreting the Word of God?
But the Word of God says that this shouldn’t be happening among God’s born again children.
We Should All Be In Agreement and Of One Mind and Thought. As Christ and The Father are One, So Must We Also Be One.
However, this is not the case at all among contemporary Christians.
I contend that God didn’t nail Moses’ law to the cross through the flesh of Christ just to have us replace Moses’ law with our own debilitating, denominating, ungodly and unfulfilling dos and don’ts.

Communication is defined as “The successful conveying or sharing of ideas and feelings.” (Oxford Dictionary)
Successful communication is dependent upon two things; the clarity of what is being communicated as well as the perception of the one receiving the communication.
Successful spiritual communication involves one clearly and correctly perceiving the expressed and worded thoughts and ideas of another so as to agree with said thoughts and ideas.
The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. ~ 1 Corinthians 2:14
It is impossible to discuss a subject without a common frame of reference.
If we are proclaiming and teaching the Spiritual Truth of God’s saving Word and the divine spiritual principles of Faith to those who are of a fleshly (carnal) mind, then there cannot be any successful communication.
Let us put first things first!
Repent and obey Acts 2:38 and receive the Holy Spirit of promise that shall empower you to understand the things of God.
Without being born of the Water and of the Spirit, the divine knowledge and Wisdom of God is lost to us. We cannot attain any insight into God without first being born again.
REPENT!!!
