Experiencing the Holy Spirit (Excerpts) 1

Experiencing the Holy Spirit 1
Excerpts)
By Andrew Murray

It is my desire to bring to the children of God the message that there is a twofold Christian life.

The one is that in which we experience something of the operations of the Holy Spirit, just as many did under the old covenant, but we do not yet receive Him as the Pentecostal Spirit, as the personal indwelling Guest.
On the other hand, there is a more abundant life, in which the indwelling just referred to is known and experienced.
When Christians come to fully understand the distinction between these two conditions, they will find the will of God concerning them.

Therefore, it is a possible experience for each believer, having confessed the sinfulness and inconsistency that still marks our lives, to dare to hope that the Christian community will once more be restored to its Pentecostal power.

A word of Wisdom: Do Christians need to respond to the Olympic Games, Opening Ceremony?

A word of Wisdom: Do Christians need to respond to the Olympic Games, Opening Ceremony? The Olympic Games is the paying of tributes to or even the worship of the twelve Olympians, greek gods who reside in Mount Olympus. Why should there be any surprise or even outrage over the Opening Ceremony or the satanic rituals? They are simply doing what pagan worshippers do. The real question to Christians should have been, Why are you watching and even participating in the athletic events of the Olympic Games, the very acts of idolatry of the greek gods? 1 Kings 18:21 KJV And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. Why are you going after idols of men whose idols are the greek gods? Mark 12:30 KJV 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 commandmen...

A word of Wisdom: Have you fallen into Idolatry?

A word of Wisdom:  Have you fallen into Idolatry? Colossians 3:5-6 KJV Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;  fornication,  uncleanness,  inordinate affection,  evil concupiscence,  and covetousness,  which is idolatry:  [6] For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In recent days, there is an exponential increasing number of unknowing believers who have fallen prey to the trap of idolatry and are still ignorant of it. Unlike the past generations, aided by the development in technology and media, there is now almost no resistance against the temptations brought forth by the devil today. In particular, this form of idolatry gaining possession of the souls is the "inordinate affection"  of man. Inordinate affection is seen as a form of idolatry because it places a person or thing above God in one's heart and life. Believers and the world alike are being mesmerised by the likes of the foll...
