"He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he
it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I
will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Judas saith unto him, not
Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto
the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my
words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our
abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which
ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. These things have I spoken
unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy
Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and
bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John
14:21-26
"And we are his witnesses of these things; and
so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him." Acts 5:32
Friend, YOU may
have made a commitment to Jesus Christ, but unless you have EVIDENCE --
SUPERNATURAL EVIDENCE -- EXACTLY as the Lord Jesus Christ
PROMISES in the verses above -- indeed, unless you have SUPERNATURAL EVIDENCE that Jesus Christ
has made a commitment to YOU, by FILLING you with his Spirit, indeed, unless you
have SUPERNATURAL EVIDENCE that Jesus Christ has made a commitment to
YOU by
FILLING you with his Spirit, EXACTLY as described in the quotations noted here,
then you will NEVER enter the kingdom of Jesus Christ --
"Now if any man have NOT the Spirit of Christ [Holy
Spirit], he is NONE of his." Romans 8:9
"A certain teaching tells us to 'take it by faith'
and not to worry about feelings. 'You may feel nothing at all,' it says, 'but if
you believe this Word and its teaching you can take the Holy Spirit by faith
irrespective of any feeling.' THE WHOLE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT TEACHES THE
OPPOSITE. So does the subsequent history of the Christian Church...
YOU CANNOT
BE BAPTIZED OR FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHOUT KNOWING IT. IT IS THE
GREATEST EXPERIENCE ONE CAN EVER KNOW. THE TEACHING THAT ASSURES US THAT WE MAY
FEEL NOTHING AT ALL RUNS ENTIRELY CONTRARY NOT ONLY TO THE TEACHING OF THE
SCRIPTURE BUT TO THE RECORDED EXPERIENCES OF COUNTLESS CHRISTIANS THROUGHOUT THE
CENTURIES." D. M. Lloyd-Jones, Romans - The Sons Of God
"You must be invaded by the Spirit of God by means
of supernatural recreation... BEWARE of the tendency to water down the
SUPERNATURAL in religion." Oswald Chambers, Approved Unto God
"People are not born again when they are in bed and
asleep, so that they do not know it. They FEEL it; they EXPERIENCE it.
Galvanism, or the power of electricity, may be mysterious; BUT THEY PRODUCE A
FEELING, A SENSATION. SO DOES THE NEW BIRTH." C. H. Spurgeon, The Metropolitan
Tabernacle Pulpit, Volume I, The Victory Of Faith
"The doctrine of REGENERATION is absolutely
foundational. It is because so many do not realize this that they have a wrong
view of evangelism, AND BECOME INTERESTED OVERMUCH IN DECISIONS...
in every
single instance that is given in the New Testament of people receiving this gift
of the Holy Spirit, it is always accompanied by much and strong feeling, and by
the knowledge that they have received it... The answer of the New Testament is
that when the Holy Spirit came upon the early Christians they knew it... you
cannot be baptized or filled with the Spirit without knowing it." D. M.
Lloyd-Jones -- Romans, The Sons Of God
"Had I a mind to HINDER THE PROGRESS OF THE GOSPEL,
and to ESTABLISH THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS, I WOULD GO ABOUT TELLING PEOPLE THAT
THEY MIGHT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD, AND YET NOT FEEL IT." George Whitefield, The
Indwelling Of The Spirit
I give you
fair warning - if you cannot HONESTLY AND
LEGITIMATELY claim the same, then you will
NEVER enter the kingdom of heaven, for if Jesus Christ has not borne
witness to you HERE by
FILLING you with his Spirit, as noted
above, then neither will he bear witness to you
THERE, when you stand before him at his judgment seat.
"In that great and terrible day, there will be those
WHITE WITH SHOCK when they find that they have depended upon a mental assent to
Christianity instead of upon THE MIRACLE OF THE NEW BIRTH." A. W. Tozer, The
Tozer Pulpit, Vol I
Consequently, I challenge every one of you, every
one of you reading this right now, to SERIOUSLY EXAMINE YOURSELF, and be
BRUTALLY HONEST with YOURSELF, for you can NEVER be
FILLED with the Holy Spirit
until you are BORN of the Holy Spirit in a MANIFEST SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCE --
MANIFEST -- MANIFEST -- MANIFEST SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCE -- and you will
NEVER
be BORN of the Holy Spirit unless you are BRUTALLY HONEST about your condition
[2 Corinthians 13:5]. Accordingly, I warn you again, if you cannot HONESTLY and
LEGITIMATELY claim the EXPERIENCE of being FILLED with the Holy Spirit,
EXACTLY
as demonstrated in the quotations above , then do something about it NOW, while
you still can -- I say, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT NOW, WHILE YOU STILL CAN -- for if
you INSIST on DECEIVING YOURSELF, God not only will NOT STOP YOU, but God will
actually ENHANCE YOUR ABILITY to FURTHER DECEIVE YOURSELF, and God will do this
by imposing JUDICIAL BLINDNESS upon you, for God HATES LIES, and there is
NO LIE
that God HATES WORSE than the SELF-DECEIVING LIE, for the SELF-DECEIVING LIE is
ROOTED IN PRIDE, and that is the very NATURE of wickedness and iniquity.
2
Thessalonians 2:11,
John 8:44,
Matthew 11:25-26
Have you ever
FELT, have you ever EXPERIENCED, the MANIFEST POWER of the Holy Spirit
SUPERNATURALLY INDWELLING YOU? If not, then never think of going to heaven, for
you are not yet meet for heaven. And yet...
I tell you --
and I call Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to record against that day I stand
before the Lord Jesus at his judgment seat -- indeed, I tell you that Jesus
Christ can be KNOWN, and KNOWN more INTIMATELY than
ANY other person in
existence. Jesus Christ is not only the source of all life, he is likewise the
sustainer and dispenser of all life, and he is therefore capable of making
HIMSELF MANIFEST to his ELECT more certainly than any created being can make
himself known to you, exactly as he has promised in
[John 14:21-23], and
numerous other passages.
If you will not
prize your soul above ALL ELSE, you will NEVER be granted a
SAVING audience with
Jesus Christ. Blind Bartimaeus, as recorded in the gospels, would be saved at
all costs. Will you be saved at all costs? If you will not be saved at all
costs, you will not be saved by Jesus Christ at all.
[Mark 10:46-52]
Would you be
born again? GENUINELY born again?
Then take wise
counsel - pick up a Bible based on the Traditional Text - in English, the ONLY
VALID Bible based on the Traditional Text is the King James Bible - and then
read with SOLEMNITY, beginning in the Gospels preferably, and beg Jesus Christ
to reveal himself to you, and give him no rest until he does, for if you read
the TRUE written Word of God, you will find the Lord of Glory, even Jesus
Christ, moving upon the face of the waters in its pages, just as he moved upon
the face of the waters when he walked across the Sea of Galilee, and if you
follow the advice just given, and if you persist, Jesus Christ HIMSELF will
verily MANIFEST HIMSELF to you (for he HIMSELF promises to do this for those who
truly heed this advice), just as he MANIFESTED HIMSELF to his disciples when he
moved upon the face of the waters as he walked across the stormy sea some two
thousand years ago, and just as he did with ME not too many years ago, and just
as he has done with a FEW others from day to day since that time, in this very
generation, and just as he will do for YOU if - IF - you heed my advice, and
if - IF - you persist therein, for he who promised is FAITHFUL.
John 14:21-23,
Matthew 14:25-27
"Never leave off watching, reading, praying,
striving, till you EXPERIMENTALLY find Christ Jesus formed within you... Be
frequent in self-examination morning and evening. Pray earnestly from your
heart. WRESTLE WITH GOD, BEG HIM TO HASTEN THE NEW BIRTH." George Whitefield,
Letters, XI
"He that thirsteth aright, NOTHING BUT GOD CAN
QUENCH HIS THIRST... Cry to God to reveal Jesus Christ unto you; there is none teacheth like him." John Bunyan, The Water Of Life & Grace Abounding To The
Chief Of Sinners
Are You Saved?
