And He will help you remember everything that I have told you. – John 14:26

Eze 36:27. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Beloved, has it ever occurred to you that, whatever you do to the blessed Holy Spirit, you do it to God, your loving Father, personally.

THIS IS BECAUSE THE BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT, JESUS YOUR LORD AND GOD THE FATHER ARE ONE.

1 John 5:7. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Right from eternity past to eternity future they have been together , working and walking together.

Genesis 1:26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Genesis 11:6-7. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.

Revelation 1:4-6. John to the seven churches which are in Asia:

1. God Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come;

2. The blessed Holy Spirit and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

3. Jesus. Christ . And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

The blessed Holy Spirit is both the spokesman and power house of the trinity.

Job 26:13: By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

Job 33:4: The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Psalms 33:6: By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

Psalms 104:30. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

THE REDEMPTION WROUGHT FOR HUMANITY BY OUR LORD WAS CONSUMMATED BY THE BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT.

Titus 3:4-6. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

BECAUSE OF ALL OF THESE AND MANY MORE ANYONE AND EVERYONE THAT OFFENDED THE BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT, BECOMES AN ENEMY OF GOD AND MIGHT MISS HIS PARDON.

Isaiah 63:10. But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

Mark 3:28-29. Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

BUT THEN FOR FAITHFUL SAINTS OF OLD AND OBEDIENT BELIEVERS LIIKE YOU, GOD HAS PROMISED TO GIVE HIM. So receive Him and accord Him, the same Honour as you do to God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ezekiel 36:27. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. Receive grace to do so and enjoy His immense blessings now and at eternity in Jesus name.

Dearly beloved, the blessed Holy Spirit meant so much to Jesus our Lord. He is the second comforter just like Jesus Christ our Lord.

John 14:16-19. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 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. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. See how important the blessed Holy Spirit was to Jesus our Lord.

1. Jesus our Lord, the Son of God, came in the flesh via the blessed Holy Spirit.

Luke 1:30-35. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

2. Jesus our Lord was conceived by the blessed Holy Spirit.

Matthew 1:18-20. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

3. The blessed Holy Spirit was responsible for the success in ministry of our Lord.

Acts 10:38. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

4. The blessed. Holy Spirit raised Jesus our Lord from the grave.

Romans 8:11. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

BECAUSE OF ALL OF THESE AND MORE, WHEN OUR LORD WAS GOING, HE PROMISED HIS LOVING FOLLOWERS OF ALL AGES, ESPECIALLY YOU, A COMFORTER , LIKE HIMSELF.

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; 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 14:26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto 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 16:7-14. 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. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 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. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

THE BLESSED HO,Y SPIRIT ALONE CAN REVEAL WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU ARE TO GOD, TO YOU.

Romans 8:14-16. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

How are you relating with Him? You can not use Him and dump Him. He alone can use you and make you relevant, like He transformed timid Petet before Pentecost to a fearless Peter after.

Acts 5:27-32. And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them, Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. Now is the time for you to align yourself with Him and be immensely blessed by Him here and hereafter.

This shall be your portion in Jesus name.

JESUS’S PROMISED COMFORTER TO BELIEVERS OF ALL AGES AND YOU IN PARTICULAR, IN THE PERSON OF THE BLESED HOLY SPIRIT. HOW ARE YOU RELATING WITH HIM?

Friend, what you do with the blessed Holy Spirit determines whether you shall be part of the dawning rapture. This is more than prayer. Remember Ananias and Saphira his wife died for lying to the blessed Holy Spirit.

Acts 5:1-5. But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whilst it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

See what the scriptures says. The blessed Holy Spirit has been here since Pentecost. He shall complete His assignment on the day of rapture.

2Thessalonians 2:7-8. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

The antichrist that shall torment and afflict those who missed the dawning rapture is presently hindered because the blessed Holy Spirit is here with us. He will be going back to heaven with the raptured saints.

I pray, you will be part of that team in Jesus name. However, those who are vexing, resisting and grieving the HolySpirit, shall not be part of the dawning rapture.

1. God becomes your enemy if you vexed the blessed Holly Spirit .

Isaiah 63:10. But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

2. Your iniquity shall not be pardoned if you are resisting the blessed Holy Spirit.

Matthew 12:31-32. Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Acts 7:51. Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. The day of the rapture is the day of final redemption.

Luke 21:28. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

3. If you are grieving the Holy Spirit, He shall not be there to help you again.

Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

HOWEVER, THOSE THAT ARE RENDERING REVERENTIAL OBEDIENCE TO THE BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT SHALL RECEIVE HIS HELP AND PARTAKE IN THE RAPTURE. This shall be your portion in Jesus name.

Acts 5:32. And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

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; 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 14:26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

1 John 2:27. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Receive grace to obey and abide in Him, till He goes back to heaven with you, during the rapture.

See you at the top in Jesus name.
