Is there any substitute for being filled with the Holy Spirit?

You know, something which causes you to not need to be filled with the Holy Spirit?

……

The Lord’s Prayer

Ask the Father to bring His Kingdom and do His will today, and He will do it.

……

Freedom from the power of indwelling sin is only perceived as freedom by those who want to be free of it, otherwise, it’s perceived as a threat to one’s apparent freedom to do whatever one imagines. A person feels they are free to do whatever they want when their conscience is cut off from God – it is a sign they are lost and need Jesus Christ.

Which explains why certain verses of the New Testament disturb Liberal Progressive “Christians”. They feel it limits their freedom. This is because their conscience is defiled and they see such requirements from God as threats to their freedom, instead of agreeing with God and seeking deliverance from what the Bible names as sin.

“And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

(John 3:19-21)

When Jesus mentions men “practicing evil” most assuredly He means evil as spelled out clearly in God’s word.

Freedom in Christ over your sinful nature means you are no longer are a slave to the desires of your flesh, you are free to choose not to obey those wrong desires.

“I think, therefore, I am.”

Good, but, “I am” what, exactly?

A highly evolved animal?

Or a person created by God in His image?

…..

The truth of God’s word reveals the true meaning and value of every aspect of human life.

…..

Two thousand years ago someone walks up to Jesus and says, ‘You’re kind of a religious guy, aren’t you?’.

“Yeah, I like the way you raised Lazarus back to life after he had been dead four days! That was cool! I’ve always said it’s good for people to have religion, gives them something to believe in!”

……

Look to God for everything you need: Spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, financially etc.

Really.

Not as a substitute for working, though.

We can ask Him for anything according to His will, Jesus said.

……

Each time we truly heed the word of Christ we become more like Him.

…..

Commented

I meant the false assertion that some people go off the rails because they take the Bible too seriously or make an idol of it, as you say.

Any wrong conduct shows people don’t understand the Bible, even in people who make the Bible an idol. Their problem is NOT that they took the word of God too seriously. That would be ridiculous.

The obnoxious religious person who swears by the Bible has not understood it.

And neither has the liberal progressive, who downgrades the authority of scripture, understood the Bible.

Usually, people who accuse others of making the Bible an idol do so because they themselves don’t understand it or live by it.

……

What is “born again”?

Jesus said, ‘you must be born again’, so, what is it?

It means He makes you a new person inside, in His image, and you are new because He now lives in you to make you new.

If He lives in you then you delight in His word and live by it. It can’t be that He lives in you and you’re opposed to Him and His word.

And you CAN live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God now because you have been born a second time, as a new creation in Him.

……

Jesus said, “You must be born again!”.

Joe Biden, you must be born again.

Donald Trump, you must be born again.

Vladimir Putin, you must be born again.

Pope Francis, you must be born again.

Bill Smith, you must be born again.

(Insert your name here)

__________ you must be born again.

…..

Whenever I see or appreciate great or noble achievements by men and women, in whatever noble endeavor, I realize that, ultimately, God deserves the credit for it.

…..

Friends should be friends for life…

…and forever, in Christ Jesus.

…..

Look at the life of the Son of God.

Look at His birth, the way He lived, the things He did, what He taught, His death and resurrection…

….And you’ll see God. You’ll know what God is like. You’ll know how God expects and requires you to live. And you’ll know how you can be saved and have eternal life.

……

Believing in Jesus Christ is about much more than merely believing He exists, it is to believe in His nature, His goodness, love and faithfulness, based on His promises and Him sacrificing His life for us on the Cross.

……

If someone is truly on a quest for spiritual enlightenment why would they ignore Jesus of Nazareth who rose from the dead, and follow philosophies of people who didn’t rise from the dead?

……

Who is this ‘invisible king’ who demands total submission to Woke ideology?

Whatever happened to freedom of thought, opinion and belief?

…..

Encourage people to think more, and help them to think logically, conceptually, and to have a rational line of thought.

Thinking about God and His word is a valid way to use your time.

……

Tyranny is when nothing can be questioned.

Welcome to the New World Order.

……

• God has immense love for the human race.
• God demonstrated His love for the human race by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for all people.
• Those who believe on the Son have the Son.
• Those who reject His immense love are self condemned.

See John 3:16, Rom. 5:8, 1 John 5:12, John 3:36

……

Mockers are instruments of the devil.

Some world leaders are detestable people, but it’s never right to mock them.

Many professing Christians now justify mocking unbelievers or politicians.

“…there will be mockers in the last time who will walk according to their own ungodly lusts.” (Jude 18)

There have always been mockers and people full of lust, therefore this refers to professing Christians in the last days.

……

It’s not yet a fully totalitarian regime so you can still give your opinion, on some things.

…..

“For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”

(1 Cor. 1:17-18)

The message of the Cross is the Good News, and it is the power of God.

Christ was crucified for your sins, died and was buried for three days, and rose again to be your Justifier and Redeemer.

The power to transform you, change your heart and mind, destroy sin and the devil’s work in you, and to forgive and present you faultless before God is all in believing this message of the Cross.

Healthy food, sunshine and exercise, together, is a natural vaccine, and by far the best.

…..

“At least 108 million people were killed in wars in the twentieth century. Estimates for the total number killed in wars throughout all of human history range from 150 million to 1 billion.”

Do you think it’s going to stop this century?
