ALL SPIRITUAL REALITY IS IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

In John 14 the Lord said that when He went away, He would send the Holy Spirit. What does the Holy Spirit do when He comes? When He comes, the Holy Spirit guides us into all the reality. When we tell people that there is God, they may ask, "Where is God?" To man, God is not real. But we have to remember that in the Holy Spirit God is real. When a person touches the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit brings him into the reality where he is able to touch God. When we tell people that Jesus was crucified, this is merely a doctrine to them. To them, the cross is not real. But in the Holy Spirit the cross becomes real, and in the Holy Spirit man can touch and experience the cross. In the same principle, when we tell the children of God that they are of Christ and that they have been resurrected with Christ, this may be vague to them. When they touch the Holy Spirit, however, this spiritual reality will be in them, and resurrection will become real to them.

For example, when we preach the gospel to people, we may tell them that Jesus died for them on the cross and shed His precious blood for them. However, if they ask, "Where is the cross? Where is this precious blood?" we are not able to show them these things. Although we are not able to show them, as we are speaking to them, the Holy Spirit creates an image in their spirit, showing them the scene of the Lord on the cross so that they not only hear the truth of the gospel but also see a spiritual vision of what they are hearing. This spiritual vision is spiritual reality. The cross, resurrection, ascension, and all that God is and has done are in the Holy Spirit. All spiritual reality is in the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit brings God Himself, incarnation, redemption, the shedding of blood, the substitutionary death, resurrection, ascension, glory, authority, and the throne to man. After passing through all these processes, God became the Spirit of reality. All spiritual reality is in the Holy Spirit. In ourselves, our ability to experience spiritual reality is limited by time and space, but time and space do not exist in the Holy Spirit, and He has brought all these realities directly into us. In the past all these realities were not available to us. But today the shedding of the precious blood, resurrection, ascension, and all these realities are in the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit has brought all these realities into us.


THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE SPIRIT OF REALITY

All spiritual reality is in the Holy Spirit, so the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of reality. In the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of reality, God is real. In addition, incarnation, the cross, resurrection, ascension, the throne, authority, blessing, and the glory in the heavens are all real. If all these things were not in the Holy Spirit, there would be no spiritual reality. This is why many unbelievers ask: "Is there God in this universe?" "Is there the cross?" "Is there resurrection?" "Is there ascension?" Although there is truly a spiritual reality of all these matters, for finite man all of these matters are too far away. To those who believe in God, however, these things are very close, even intimately close, because all these things are in the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is in those who believe. Whenever we touch the Holy Spirit, all these matters become real to us, because all these matters are real in the Holy Spirit. Whenever we touch the Holy Spirit, we touch death, resurrection, ascension, and the throne. To those who have never touched the Holy Spirit, all these things seem not to exist.

SPIRITUAL REALITY NOT BEING
PRODUCED BY IMITATION

The reality of everything that we believe is in the Holy Spirit. What we believe does not come to us through teaching, rebuking, exhortation, copying, or imitation. Any living that is the result of imitation is not a genuine Christian living. The genuine Christian living does not come from imitation or teaching but from the Spirit. In the past, there was a brother from Germany named George Müller. This brother knew how to come near to God and receive the leading of the Spirit in his spirit. He was one who had many experiences of faith. As a result, many Christians from the past imitated him, and even today many continue to do so. However, none of those who have tried merely to imitate him have learned to do so successfully, because spirituality does not come from learning or imitation. Spiritual reality depends on the human spirit touching the Spirit of God. Because spiritual reality is in the Holy Spirit, in order for a person to have it, his human spirit has to touch the Holy Spirit.

First time in this sub-forum.

I have a very basic question and hope someone can enlightened me.

What are the differences between Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant?

Orthodox and Catholics are steep in Church tradition and practises.

Protestant are somewhat simpler.

Then what's the difference between Orthodox and Catholics?

Also, when one says he or she is a Christian, does it means he or she is a Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant or ALL?

Nah. I'm good. Doesn't bother me at all.

My take. He/she believe in Jesus Christ as our saviour. It does not matter which group he/she is from.

We're all Christians.

Orthodox does not recognize a Pope as leader of all christians. They believe all elected Bishop are of equal authority over each own Church.

I thought Orthodox was part of Catholic and Protestant was a spin off of Catholic, no?

The word Orthodox means Straight / correct teaching as thus they consider themselves more "authentic" than the Catholics and likewise the Catholic consider themselves to be the true Church among all denomination, which in actual truth... these sort of segregation the very reasons why denomination happens.

Protestant are not a spin off but a break away from the Catholics because at one point of time the Roman Catholics got involved in political power corruption and there was some errornous practices of doctrine such as paying money to do away with sin.

Personally I don't believe in "denomination". I believe in just plain "christian" because that is in the Bible. Interestingly denomination is not even in the Bible.

I've heard of a sermon, the reason why Denomination happened is because of the progression of revelation revealed throughout the centuries.

Hey unknown warrior, what do you think of this?

The Devil’s Hour: This Is Why You Might Feel Spooked Out At 3am

Superstition.

Demons are out there 24/7, not only heightened at 3AM.

As Christians we must be careful not to believe any superstition because it can be opportunities given to the enemy to cause problems.

And Also not to be afraid of them because you have One in you whom they are more afraid of.

Uh...

I leave for 24 hours come back to 136 messages. What happened suddenly things got lively.

Bible Devotion

Hebrews 11:6 (NIV) - And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

As Christians, we are all familiar with the verse of Faith in Hebrews 11, that Faith is the confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. In my last Bible devotion I've showed in one translation, Faith is the title deed to claim our inheritance in God.

But Many Christians do not have revelation of the 2nd Definition of Faith which is in verse 6 as stated above. They know the first part which says: anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists but have doubts on the 2nd part that says: and that he (God) rewards those who earnestly seek him.

I believe this is one of the keys missing as to why most Christians don't get their prayers answered.

Dear Friends, don't rationalize with your mind whether God will reward you or not. Because the moment you even start to rationalize, you'll start thinking whether you're good enough, obeyed enough, been pious enough, qualified enough for God to reward you. No Friends. There is no qualification in Faith. Faith is simply BELIEVING that God will reward you.

I hope you'll get this revelation deep in your spirit so that you can start receiving all that you've been missing out from our Father in Heaven who dearly loves you and holds you eternally in his hand which NO ONE can snatch you out from. You are eternally loved and eternally saved If you believe and hold on tenaciously to the eternal words of God as true without wavering.

Blindspot is older.

my verdicts, Darlene latest song Lecrae, who is the blue hell is He? I don't understand what he's rapping about at all

Hmm come to think of it, its quite frequent that I woke up around 3:30 ~3:45am.
