The Apostle Paul writes giving a stern warning to the Believers in Ephesus, where in my reading of his letter, I must avoid any attempt at diluting the Gospel of Christ and the Power and Authority by which Holy Spirit manifests HIS Power and continues the WORK and WILL of God.

There are some even today, who ignore Paul's warning, and by their thoughtless and foolish understanding of God's intent, preach and teach of Pentecost as a single one day outpouring of Holy Spirit upon Believers in Christ.

This approaches the same fatal outcome as that of Ananias and Saphira, who when confronted by the Apostle Peter, having openly denied the ongoing WORK of Holy Spirit, both in the conviction of sin and the restoration of fellowship among Believers.

The Apostle Paul writes later to Timothy, admonishing him to preach and teach of the Power and Authority of God's Spirit against such false and blasphemous teaching,

2 Timothy 3:5-9 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth—men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

Christ Jesus PROMISED to those who BELIEVE in HIM, that HIS Father WILL inhabit this tabernacle of flesh with Holy Spirit,

never to leave nor forsake those who Obediently WALK and LIVE by Faith.

Therefore, by the Apostle Paul's declaration, any claims to Righteousness, otherwise counsel and guidance in life's circumstances apart from being 'FILLED and STIMULATED' by God's Spirit, is in direct opposition of HIS WORD and the example of HIS Power as recorded throughout the New Testament church age.

Where these 'Last Days' in which I live and minister of the Gospel of Truth and Life of Christ Jesus,

God remains Eternally Faithful in HIS Promised Holy Spirit!!!

More of who Christ IS to me!

          MORE like HIM,

                        I desire to be!!

                      Some day SOON, with HIM I will BE!!!
