Healed in That Hour

Because you know authority via experience you can readily believe in someone else's authority. If you are used to being obeyed you can understand how orders from the lips of others can be carried out to the letter. There is not doubt in your mind that consequences await any disobedience in a well ordered organization like the military. We expect that for every reward of obedience there is also a unreward for disobedience. Apply this to Jesus the Christ. Know that He is in charge and that what He says goes or else there are unhappy consequences. Loving your country enough to join in the protection of it qualifies you to obey the commands of those in charge. Loving the Lord Jesus, God's son enough to join His kingdom and expect His orders to be followed makes sense. Jesus is Commander in Chief with Father God Jehovah fully obeyed. Recognizing the authority of the Kingdom in Christ the King of kings is the only belief you need to full accept His words to cause things to line up and become. 'Ask and you shall receive' He says.'Expect the answer within the hour' is His reply. What a mighty God we serve. Within the hour is a wonderful relief for our waiting hearts. His word is truth He says and our expectations soar as we become aware that His promises are Yea and Amen.Ask for wholeness, receive wholeness. Ask for a healing, receive that healing in an hour. Sixty minutes or less is not a long wait. How awesome is He, our Lord and our King! You wonder what am I to base this word on? I refer you to His word in Matthew's telling of the day the centurion believed Jesus and received a healing for his child.Luke and John also wrote of it.Matthew 8:5 to 8:13, Luke 7:1-10 and John 4:43-5:54 are the passages in the holy scriptures. To believe in Jesus' yeas and amens in your hour of need is all it takes to receive your needs met. Hallelujah! He fully responds to that faith.He is amazed when He sees the belief you have in Him and His authority. Go ahead and amaze your wonderful Lord and Master and King. Give Him thanks profusely and praise His wondrous Name.

Holy Spirit Given to Give Gifts

Sometimes things are not the way you were taught and you find it out as you travel through life with the Holy Spirit as your guide, teacher, and helper. Somehow I had the notion that He could be gotten by simply asking for Him from Jesus. When I read about His coming in the Book of Acts the second chapter it seemed that everyone present received His Presence. And so it was.
What I failed to understand was that when He fell on others later on it had something to do with Peter and John who are apostles of Christ. Philip did not have that power or gifting nor did Stephen although they were full of the Holy Spirit themselves. When I received Him it was after a lot of tarrying and pleading that was probably unnecessary. What I needed and finally got to was a man of God who was gifted in that way. Surrender to God's way of doing things seemed to be what worked
.
Holy Spirit is a gift from Jesus Christ who is given to gift the Church of Jesus Christ in whatever way He deems good. Some people ask Holy Spirit for certain powers or gifts and others use the ones He has installed in them at His coming to them. He has the authority to give whatever He chooses whenever He chooses to whomever He chooses.
So if you desire Him to be present in you, find a person gifted in giving Him by laying on of hands and prayer. The Father in Heaven gives His Spirit to those that truly love Him. Therefore you may or may not receive Him if the love of God is not in your heart. He will not be gotten for gain nor can you woo Him if you are not sincere
.
We do indeed need Him to get through this earthly time His way. We need to be taught, guided and helped in every area of existence to accomplish what we were put on the earth to do. I have heard of the Holy Spirit falling on people who are very alone and very in need of His help or are so in love with God that they are pining away for His presence. He knows when He is so wanted as Jesus and Father God send Him then.

We should leave it up to Him as to what gifts we can handle as some of the gifts as so in demand that it is a bit overwhelming to the gifted one when others find out they have what they are looking for. All of the gifts have a godly purpose and are not for personal consumption or gain. Being famous for what ever gift or gifts He bestows on you can change your whole life whether you like it or not but withholding is not allowed either or at least I would not recommend it Jonah.

The Toronto Blessing outpouring of the Gift called Holy Spirit is an example of how great a hunger there is for God and His Gift. Without Him we are dry and thirsty. With him we overflow.To experience Holy Spirit in daily life is way far different from the usual. He will take you places doing things that only He could talk you into. He gives you such courage you will surprise yourself in situations that he makes for you.
What would you choose? Dull and boring humdrum or exciting and invigorating. He is life eternal so there is no boring places in Him. Life will not just pass you by as He enjoys and likes to share it all with us. It is the Fathers good pleasure to give you the kingdom and His kingdom is peace, joy and righteousness in the Holy Ghost. He has not given us a Spirit of fear but of power,love and a sound mind. We need Father's Gift to be gifted and to give to others whatever He gifts us with.
