Can you receive the Holy Spirit any way…

Listen to some words from the New Testament of Christ as it is written…


Luke 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

…When Jesus was here on earth He said the Father could give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks Him…



Acts 10:44-47 While Peter yet Spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision (Jews)…which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles (Non-Jews…those without God) also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

…Cornelius and those there were given the Holy Spirit just like Peter an Apostle but Peter having the promise found in Matt 16:19…where Jesus said to Peter…I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven…Peter already having bound baptism with the first message of salvation in Jesus name after Jesus ascension (Acts 2:37-39) with a promise…told Cornelius and them…who had the Holy Spirit to be baptized into water or they would be found unfaithful…



1 John 5:7-9 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

…If you find Jesus’ forgiveness then you have the blood…if you receive the Holy Spirit then you have the Spirit…but there is only one way to get the water and that is through baptism…


The first message of salvation with a promise… Acts 2:37-40 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 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. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:


Jesus said He that believes and is baptized (water) will be saved not he who receives the Holy Spirit…Have you been baptized into water for the purpose of salvation in Christ? Yes, or no? Will you be baptized into Jesus Christ? Yes or no…If you have been baptized into Christ do you still confess your baptism? Yes or no.



Will you pray with me…

Father, we ask for the Holy Spirit and for the blood and for the water that we may be complete lacking nothing…please remove anything that hinders us from obeying the truth…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Can you receive the Holy Spirt any way...

Want to know the truth and not believe a lie…


Listen to some words from Jesus from the New Testament Christ which is the new agreement between God and mankind which is in effect for today's time…


…Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me…


…If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free…


You have to love the truth…follow the truth and do what's right once the truth is revealed to you…and more truth will be revealed to you. You have to be faithful with the truth if you want more truth revealed to you…


….Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.


...If ye love me, keep my commandments.


…the first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.


Jesus of Nazareth is the truth…He is the source of all truth. Jesus of Nazareth died on the cross and was raised from the dead three days later so you would never have to choose the wrong thing again so that you would never choose an evil thing again and he died and was raised so that you could have all your wrong things be forgiven but you have to do what's right once you learn the truth. Once the truth is revealed to you…you have to obey the truth or follow the truth and do what's right…


Will you pray with me…

Father help us discern a lie so we may abide in the truth and please remove any other thing that hinders us from obeying the truth…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name Amen.

Want to know the truth and not believe a lie...

Want to be in the new heaven or the earth?


Listen to what the apostle Peter, one of the apostles of Jesus Christ. Said. In second Peter 3, beginning in verse 9…...the Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness, but his long-suffering towards us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance...You hear that?...all of creation can come to repentance...and be rewarded in the new heaven or earth...


…When the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise. And the elements shall met with fervent heat…in the earth also and the works that are there in shall be burned…If you can touch it, feel it, it will burn…

…Seeing them that all these things shall be dissolved. What men are a persons? Ought you to be. In holy behavior and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God. When the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved. And the elements shall melt with fervent heat. Nevertheless, we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new Earth wherein dwells righteousness.


See friends everything here will be dissolved and God will make all things new…and we have a promise. There'll be a new heaven and a new Earth. Wherein dwells righteousness…and Jesus said blessed are the meek God, or blessed are the obedient…for they shall inherit the earth.

…Listen to what is written in revelation….about the end of time…

…he that overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God. And he shall be my son. But the fearful…those who are cowards, those who do not practice Jesus, and the unbelieving…those who do not believe Jesus died so they never have to choose the wrong thing, and the abominable. Those who know the truth but do what is wrong anyway, and the murderers. And the whoremongers and the sorcerers and the idolators in all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

…So what happens is Jesus comes back right…We get a new heaven and new Earth and all those that are faithful to Jesus are rewarded in heaven and earth…in the new heaven and earth... And all those who rejected Jesus message…they never have to do a wrong thing because he already died for them and was raised from the dead as proof…that they never have to do a wrong thing and that all the wrong things can be forgiven and made right with their Creator.

Do you believe Jesus died on the cross and rose from the grave three days later? Yes or no? Will you be baptized into Christ? Yes or no? Have you been baptized before? Yes or no?


Will you pray with me,

Father, help us to have a character fit for heaven and not the lake of fire in Jesus and Nazarene name. Amen.
