Part Two of The Holy Spirit does a lot...but He doesn't do it all

God’s Word Unfiltered

I believe that many of today's born-again Believers expect the Holy Spirit to do more (for them or thru them) than what the Scriptures tell us He will do. Many Believers today expect the Holy Spirit to do those things that their Heavenly Father expects them to do. These days, a lot of Believers will tell you that they need to 'feel or experience' the 'presence of the Lord' (whatever that means) before they'll believe that the Lord is 'with them' or 'near them' (again, whatever that means!)

Brethren, God-honoring faith is based on things NOT seen...and NOT on things we 'feel' or 'experience'! It's easy to 'believe' when you can physically touch the scars from the savior's wounds. In today's overly emotional, experientially driven Church environment, way too many of Yahweh's people believe that the Lord is 'with them' or 'for them'...because (to them) it feels like He is.

The Good Lord gave today's Church Age Believers a supernatural indwelling of the Holy Spirit to guide and enlighten them...IF THEY GENUINELY STRIVE TO LEARN and UNDERSTAND the Truths of Yahweh's written Word. It's biblically clear that blood-bought, born-again, eternally saved Believers CAN (if they so choose to) completely 'SHUT DOWN' (i.e. 'turn off' the 'work' or 'power' of) the Spirit of Yahweh who indwells them!

Brethren, our Heavenly Father didn't give Believers the Holy Spirit so that HE could then DO (for Believers) those Truths of Scriptures that HE helped Believers to learn and understand! It's NOT the Holy Spirit 'job' to supernaturally 'overwhelm' a Believer and then DO (i.e. keep or obey) Yahweh's commandments for them! All of God's people are expected to CHOOSE to OBEY those Truths of Scriptures that the Spirit of Yahweh has 'helped' them 'see' and understand!

A MAIN THEME (for Believers) thruout the Scriptures (from our Heavenly Father) is: HAVE YOU DONE AS I COMMANDED? If Believers were NOT capable of DOING AS HE COMMANDED...the Lord would NEVER hold them accountable when they DON'T do as HE commanded! Now, (for the millionth time) DOES the Holy Spirit 'play' an essential 'role' in every Believers life? Yes and no! Yes, IF the Believer is genuinely seeking to LEARN and KNOW and UNDERSTAND the Truths of Yahweh's written Word. No, IF the Believer doesn't put any effort into trying to learn God's written Word! No, IF the Believer expects the Holy Spirit to do everything for them! The Good Lord never intended the Holy Spirit to be used like a "TYME MACHINE"...doling out 'stuff' at the push of a button!
