The Wonderful Christian Experience! Part 5

The Wonderful Christian Experience! Part 5

For over 43 years, the number one priority of this ministry has been to introduce the person of God’s Holy Spirit to the Church for relationship and fellowship.

I received this ministry assignment personally from the Lord when God’s Spirit visited me in a hotel room in Sydney, Australia on Saturday, September 22, 1979. While writing our flagship book, God’s Gold & Glory Revolution, the Lord told me to also share this experience in the book (see pages 25-26).

GOLD & GLORY FLASHPOINT 1:

Since starting my fulltime ministry on Friday, April 22, 1983…I have focused my “ministry effort primarily on the Holy Spirit relationship” for the Church as my TOP PRIORITY. During the revival days of the 1990’s the Lord told me to minister in every morning service and half of the night services about relationship with Holy Spirit as recorded in John 14-17.

For 2000 years the Church at large has rejected the person of God’s Holy Spirit. Since the beginning of the outpouring of God’s latter rain in 1900, many revivals of the Holy Spirit have taken place. All these revivals are known for the anointing and outpouring of Holy Spirit. Unfortunately at the close of all these Holy Spirit revivals, Holy Spirit was shown the door by the Church again and again. Periodically the Church would embrace the anointing, the presence, and the moving of the Holy Spirit in all these revivals of the 20th century.

Concerning relationship with Holy Spirit, the Church at large has never received and embraced Him as the great Comforter and friend of every born again believer. In 1947, a powerful woman of God by the of Katherine Kuhlman, began to focus her entire ministry on her close relationship with Holy Spirit in person. She never slowed down but would teach every day about the blessing of a personal relationship between every believer in Christ and God’s Holy Spirit. From 1973 onward, Benny Hinn took up the same cause of our fellowship with Holy Spirit and has also taught about a close relationship with Holy Spirit for every believer. Benny Hinn has done this tirelessly for many years.

I was blessed to bring this same message to the Church from the time I arrived in America in 1988 until the present day. Several other ministers in the latter part of the 20th century also added Holy Spirit relationship teachings to their ministry.

Regardless of this steady flow of the teaching on Holy Spirit relationship, the Church has continued to reject a personal relationship with Holy Spirit. Over 2000 years has expired since Jesus ascended into heaven and gave the person of Holy Spirit to the Church in both the outpourings of Holy Spirit, as well as fellowship with Holy Spirit. Over the years, as a result of this teaching, I have witnessed many Christians struggle to embrace God’s Holy Spirit as their own personal friend. While on earth, Jesus said that the Jews made God’s word of none effect through their vain traditions of the past. The same has been true for the Church since the early days of the first Church in Jerusalem. In II Corinthians, Paul warns us to pull down strongholds that keep us in bondage adversely affecting our faith…again this is true of the Church.

From the moment we entered the Church, for many of us as far back as our childhood, we were indoctrinated with the false doctrines stating that Jesus is omnipresent. This lie of the omnipresence of Jesus has destroyed every opportunity for the Church to embrace Holy Spirit in a personal and close relationship…BECAUSE Holy Spirit is the only Person of the Godhead who is omnipresent. By the time most of us were 10 years old, we were already indoctrinated with this false teaching. At that point it had already become the number one stronghold of a deception against the truth and against the born again Church.

In order to provide more help and guidance concerning Holy Spirit relationship, I want to provide you today with all the scriptures which tell us that “Jesus is in heaven seated” at the right hand of Father God. I will also provide you with the very heart and essence of the teaching Jesus gave His disciples about Holy Spirit relationship the night before he was arrested. On that final evening with His disciples, Jesus imparted two revolutionary revelations to His disciples. During the supper meal, Jesus introduced to them the new covenant of His flesh and His blood. THEN…He gave them Holy Spirit relationship so that God’s Spirit could become their comforter, friend and companion after Jesus’ return to heaven.

This greatly important teaching, as seen in John 14-17, is the longest and most comprehensive teaching Jesus ever gave on earth! For approximately two hours that night, Jesus imparted to His disciples both the person of God and the lifestyle of Christianity to be lived in this specific manner with Holy Spirit after Jesus’ departure to heaven.

GOLD & GLORY FLASHPOINT 2:

During that greatly important teaching, Jesus told the disciples… 9 TIMES… that He would soon return to the Father in heaven.

Here are the 9 verses: John 14:2, 3, 28; John 16:5, 10, 17, 28; John 17:11, 13.

After returning to heaven, Jesus would pour out the Spirit on His followers as well as giving them this precious personal relationship with Holy Spirit for every believer during the entire time that Jesus would remain in heaven with Father. This promise was spoken and repeated that night a total of 7 times.

Here are the scriptures: John 14:16, 17, 26; Johns 15:26; John 16:7, 8, 13.

In confirmation of the truth of Jesus being SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER IN HEAVEN, we find a total of 22 scriptures confirming this truth throughout the New Testament.

Here are the scriptures: Matt 22:44; Matt 26;64; Mark 12:36; Mark 14:62; Mark 16:19; Luke 20:42; Luke 22:69; Acts 2:33-34; Acts 7:55-56; Romans 8:34; Eph 1:20; Col 3:1; Heb 1:3 &13; Heb 8:1; Heb 10:12; Heb 12:2; 1 Peter 3:22; Rev 5:1 & 7.

I have just given you 38 scripture verses confirming that Jesus went to the Father and that He gave us His Holy Spirit in His place until He returns. Included in this list of 38 scriptures also, are 22 scriptures confirming that JESUS DID ASCEND into heaven and sat down at the right hand of Father God…where He remains to this day!

Now we see the power of deception and tradition, indeed the lies of the devil fed to the Church for 2000 years. There is only a handful of Christians in the world today who do not only believe these scriptures but live the Christian life in the reality and truth of these scriptures. It is impossible for any Christian to ever enter into a personal relationship with Holy Spirit in person, unless individually every child of God breaks the power of the lies that proclaim that Jesus is omnipresent, and that we can have personal fellowship with Jesus here on earth.

For 2000 years the power of this lie has robbed the Church of turning to Holy Spirit and entering into a personal relationship with Him as Jesus’ substitute in the earth until Jesus returns. I pray almost every day by myself that Holy Spirit would open the eyes of the Church, that the scales of deception would fall from their eyes. Once that has happened, such Christians would be set free from the lie and the false doctrine and the false lifestyle of antichrist Christianity!

Thank God that day is very near! The FIRE of God will soon be poured out on every Christian and annihilate every lie of what the Church believes and lives by. Thank you Lord for setting the Church free of every lie and deception of satan. Thank you Lord for raising up a glorious Church in the days ahead.

Thank you and God bless you, and may you enjoy the TRUE relationship with Holy Spirit until Jesus returns for us in the near future!
