Formulating the process of the Holy Ghost

[bro.tan]

Let’s take the time out and see how do we receive the Holy Ghost and if the Holy Ghost just started in the New Testament or was the Holy Ghost in the Old Testament. Now when we talk about the Holy Ghost we will also see what the Holy Ghost does and also in the New Testament we may come across the Holy Spirit, but we will see that they one and the same.

So let’s take a look and see how do we begin to receive the Holy Ghost. Because If we truly love God, then we will obey "Every word" that proceeds out of his mouth. (Matthew 4:4) How absolute is every word, brothers and Sisters.

So Let’s go into Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

The first thing Peter says to the people is repent. This tells me that we can’t come to Christ as we are. We have to make changes in ourselves and learn to take off the old person.

Now let’s take a look and and see how Jesus started with his journey. Let’s go into Matthew 9:10-12 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. So Jesus is calling for sinners to repent, and this is what brings forth death, sin brothers and Sisters.


Because Paul says in Romans 6: 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. But what is sin? We need to know and understand what is sin. If a person is going to be charge with wages of sin, then that person needs to know what is sin. So let’s see what is sin, according to the Bible. Let’s go into 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And this law is the law that we had since the beginning. Let’s verify this commandment we heard from the beginning in 2 John 1: 4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. 5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. 6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

So let’s go to the apostle Paul and see how Paul breaks down that commandment we heard from the beginning. Paul says in Romans 13:8-9 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Now these commandments sounds like the ones we read in Exodus 20:1-17, because, that is what God’s holy commandments are all about; the first four tells you how to love God and the last six tells you how to love your neighbor. If you love your God you will not do any thing to offend him, like having other gods before him. You will do as he says like remember the sabbath day to keep it holy on the seventh day of the week. If you love him you will obey him when he tells you not to eat certain meats, which we can read in Leviticus 11 Chapter etc… And the same goes for your fellow man, if you love your neighbor you wouldn’t steal from him, you wouldn’t kill him, you wouldn’t try and sleep with his wife and so on and so forth.

Because these commandments are a perfect definition of love and is perfect in it’s ways.

Let’s read how wonderful these commandments are. Because when you get baptize and not taught to keep these commandment, then brothers and Sisters you are putting sin right back on you. Let’s go into Psalm 19: 7-11. The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: And in keeping of them there is great reward.

Let’s go into a story, and get an example, because we wanna take a look and see the changes that we have to make in our lives to be able to receive the gift Holy Ghost. Because as we read earlier the first thing for us to do is to repent and start keeping the commandments.

Let’s go into John 8: 1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 they say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

Note: Because all of them had sin on them, and they didn’t bring the man to be stone either.

And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. So there’s a reason why the Scribes and Pharisees wanted to stone the woman, and that’s because she was breaking a commandment. But the sad part of this Judgement is that the Scribes and Pharisees never brought the man. But you must give up a lifestyle where sin has dominion, (ruler ship) over you. Again, Sin according to 1 John 3:4, is the transgression (breaking) of the law. You must be taught "The Word", before you can adhere to God's commandments.
