Understanding the Holy Ghost

Early Monday morning the 26th of March 2018, the Lord started dealing with me about a course of action to be taken concerning the ministering of the Word of God and how to establish a new working of the Holy Ghost in people’s lives. The Lord showed me to start at the beginning of where the church was established, and break down God’s Word in the wisdom and understanding that he has placed in me over the years, and to come against the ignorance and the lack of understanding and ignorance in the manner in which God’s word has been taught and revealed. The Lord spoke to us over a year ago and told us that he was going to start revealing himself in a new wisdom and a new understanding of his Word.

There has been too much teaching that has come about through zeal and ignorance, and also through man’s knowledge and understanding. This has caused people to err from the truth and the depth of the Word that God wants to reveal to them and in them, so it’s time to go back to the very foundation of the church and look at what happened, and how the working of the Spirit came forth and how it was revealed to people at that time, and show the difference between the truth and what religious theory (theology) has dictated to man as doctrine. One of the most dangerous things that can happen to man is for the church to take religious theory (theology) and preach it and establish it as doctrine, and this is exactly what has happened in the teachings concerning the Holy Ghost. The ignorance and immaturity of religious doctrines that have evolved through the teachings of good men and women that however sincere the teachings were they have taken the church on the wrong path concerning the revealing of what the Holy Ghost is, and how it needs to work in the lives of God’s people.  We need to know and understand what the Holy Ghost truly is, and how it should be working in our everyday lives, and what we need to see being revealed in us. The truly hard part about this is there’s an old saying, which states, you can’t unring a bell, once doctrine gets in people it’s very hard to change the way people think and it’s very difficult to get wrong teaching out of their spirit. So we are going to start with revealing the Holy Ghost and what it is, and what it’s for, and how it should be evolving and being made manifest in your daily lives, and what it’s function is and how it should be coming forth in the lives of the believer’s today. Understanding what the Holy Ghost is and what it’s for are two very needful things, and these need to be discussed and understood. So we will start with what happened on the day of Pentecost and move forward from there.

Acts 2:1-4 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

This is the beginning of the church, the starting point of Christianity, so we have to start right here and understand what happened, because this is where the Lord will begin again, he’s not going to establish a new foundation or pour out a different spirit, and he’s not going to bring forth a new or a different doctrine from what happened on that day, but he is going to restore to this generation the outpouring of his Spirit that he poured out on that day, and he is going to restore everything that was given then, and it will restore the power of God back to the Church (Body of Christ), and reestablish his order and his government according to what he did then. So we need to understand what happened on the Day of Pentecost and get ourselves anchored and established in the same teachings and come to the revelation and an understanding of what was poured out on that day, and what he put in place and how it set the church in God’s divine order and establish the government to lead and guide and direct the church (Body of Christ) and prepare to move it forward. So when it tells us in Acts 2:4, and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, let’s establish what happened. So let’s begin with an in depth explanation of what the Holy Ghost is, so we will know what they were filled with, and this will help us to understand what we to need to press for today and to have an understanding of what it does, and how it works, so we will recognize it when it comes in. God has made us some promises, and I want to be ready when they come, and I want to understand what he is doing and what he said that he would do, and that I am receiving what I was told that I could receive, and I want to see the manifestation of it come forth in my life and in the lives of the members of the Body of Christ.

In February of 2013, the Lord spoke to me audibly, “The Holy Ghost that I’m sending back is the fullness of the power of the Resurrected Christ mixed with the humanity of man,” I knew what I had heard, but I didn’t understand it, a few days later the Lord took me into a vision and I saw many stages of Jesus’s life and the trials and persecution and temptations that he went through. I saw a graph of DNA come up beside Jesus and with everything he went through, the man  and the Holy Ghost started inter-twining and twisting together like that graph of DNA and the more it happened the more they became one, until I saw the Spirit and the man become the Christ. Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. So this that God is preparing to send back isn’t just the Spirit of God, but it is the Spirit of Christ, which consists of the fullness of the Spirit of God and the humanity of man interwoven into one mind and one body, everything that happens to you will not be governed just by the Spirit of God, but you will have to have some wisdom from the humanity of the man. 1 Tim 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

The man Christ Jesus, a mix of God and the humanity of man, not carnality but humanity, this breaks down man being able to communicate with God through the man part of Jesus, and God being able to communicate with man through the God part of Jesus, because Jesus is both man and God and he can communicate through both mediums because he was a man and now he is a body that retains the humanity of man, that the fullness of God dwells in, he understands the frailties of man but he also understands the full dominion of God, and he understands it because God was made manifest in his flesh through the Spirit, and because he became the Christ, it’s his Spirit that is coming back to live in man in the fullness. This manifestation is different from anything else that you read about in the scriptures. I hope I can explain this; anything that we read about an individual that was filled with the Holy Ghost, before Jesus’s death and resurrection, you need to understand that this was a different manifestation and working of the Holy Ghost from what was poured out on the Day of Pentecost.

Luke 1:15

 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.

Luke 1:41

 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

Luke 1:67

 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,

All these are instances of people being filled with the Holy Ghost, but it wasn’t what fell on the day of Pentecost. What was poured out on the Day of Pentecost was the Spirit of Christ, the mixture of God and man. Jesus said this in

John 7:37-39  In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

It couldn’t have been given because he was still alive, and he wasn’t glorified until after his resurrection, he became God manifested in the flesh, and it was the power of the resurrection and the humanity of the man mixed together that made him the man Christ Jesus. Matt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Col 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

Col 2:9-10 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

The Lord tried to reveal these things to us but the scriptures were never taught in the right spirit, neither was a spirit of revelation given to open our understanding.

John 14:16-17  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

John 15:26  But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

The Lord has shown us all through the scriptures who he was and how he would reveal himself and in what manifestation that he would come and live in us and we would be his temple, a man can’t live in a man, but a spirit can live in a man, and this is why Jesus became the Christ, the man Jesus can’t live in you but the Spirit of the Resurrected Christ can and will. The Holy Ghost doesn’t have a separate identity from Jesus, the Christ, because it is his spirit. When you say the words Holy Ghost, then the mental picture that pops into people’s minds are speaking in tongues, and jerking and shouting. The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of the Resurrected Christ, it manifests, his mind and his nature and all the fruit of the Spirit according to, Gal. 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith. We aren’t seeing this being manifested in people’s lives, and it all boils down to a lack of knowledge and understanding of the Spirit of Truth, which is the Spirit of Christ and we are not being taught how it should be revealing itself in our lives because all we’ve been taught about it is when it moves we speak in tongues. Well, I see Jesus being used mightily by the Holy Ghost and he didn’t go around talking in tongues all the time. This is what Jesus said about how the Spirit of Truth will manifest when it comes in. Tongues has nothing to do with it.

John 16:13-15  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

This understanding and revelation of the Holy Ghost has got to take its abode in us, so we will know who we are and what it has come in to do. We still are bound by the doctrine of the old order, and our eyes still don’t see the Holy Ghost as the Resurrected Christ living in us. Phil 3:10-11

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

We still don’t see the oneness of him and the Father and that this is trying to find an avenue to be revealed through us. This old order of tongues has got to die, because until it does we will never see the mind or the nature or the characteristics of Jesus the Christ coming forth and being revealed in us, we will never see Phil 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: This is because we keep separating Jesus from the Holy Ghost, we have this idea that what lives in us is not Jesus the Resurrected Christ, but it’s something else. Since his death, burial and resurrection there isn’t anything else, Jesus became the Christ and the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of the Resurrected Christ, and it is in us in a measure, but it’s God’s will for it to dwell in us in the fullness, and that we can become just like him, now, in this world. 1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

It’s time to awaken ourselves out of the bondage and darkness of theology and religion, and let the very Christ break forth and take control and live in us and reveal himself through us.
