THE GLORY OF GOD – GLORIOUS ASPECTS OF THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

THE GLORY OF GOD – GLORIOUS ASPECTS OF THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

There are 4 wills which are described as follows:

  1. Decretive will;
  2. Preceptive will;
  3. Real will;
  4. Free will;

Decretive will.

This will deals with the will that God decrees –  An Example of this id:

Genesis 1 God decrees Creation.

 Preceptive will is a general rule[1]

God has Precepts that He keeps and when He swears because He can swear (give his word or make a vow) by no greater name He swears by His Name.  Thus He always keeps His word. His precepts as seen in scripture, for example the Ten Commandments are to be obeyed but man doesn’t necessarily keep them.

Hebrews 6:13

13 When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself,

God teaches us precepts or general rules Isaiah 28:10 AKJV

10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept;

line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

To expand on this, precept as a noun is:

  1. commandment or direction given as a rule of action or conduct.
  2. an injunction as to moral conduct; maxim.
  3. a procedural directive or rule, as for the performance of some technical operation.

Real Will

God Has real will for Jesus said:

John 6:40

40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

Real will for us, as an example, is when children are instructed to do something and they do not do it. It is a rebellious will and Paul talked about this in the book of Hebrews 7:19.

19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do–this I keep on doing.

Free Will

Jesus had and has free will this he demonstrated in the following scriptures.

John 10:18

18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”

And

 Matthew 26:38-39

38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

Jesus makes us free and gives us free will

John 8:36

36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

And

Romans 8:12-15

12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.

13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.

15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

We have free will to take our cross and follow him

 Matthew 16:24

24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.

Faith

There are three types of faith:

  1. Saving faith
  2. Faith that enables
  3. Holy Faith

Saving Faith

Saving faith is being given by the Father to the Son.

Ephesians 1:4

4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love….

Ephesians 2:5-8

5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.

6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God

John 6:37,39,65

37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.

39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.

65 He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.”

Faith that enables

1 Corinthians 12:9

9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit.

The word faith above is faith that enables us to meet a specific need of a brother or sister.

Holy Faith

Jude 20-21

20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,

21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

Speaking in Tongues continued:

  1. It/He is a language that God gives the individual to pray to Him directly.  Jude 20

20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,

  1. He is a pure language because it comes from a Pure source – God the Holy Spirit. Jude 20 Holy faith.

 3 He is the initial sign of the infilling of the Person by God the Holy Spirit – John 3:8

  • The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
  1. He is how God speaks to your Soul, Body and Mind.

(Isaiah 28:11-12)

11 Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues

God will speak to this people,

12 to whom he said,

“This is the resting place, let the weary rest”;

and, “This is the place of repose”…….

Yet some say this is for when the people were taken by the Assyrians and at that time it was true but they forget we have a living God and a Living Word and a Spoken Word – Jesus said my sheep hear my voice.  This is why this scripture is so important, Isaiah prophesied it and Paul quoted this scripture in the New Testament. This means Isaiah 28:8-12 is for today and yesterday and tomorrow until Jesus returns. Paul quotes this in 1 Corinthians 14 verse 21.

I Corinthians 14:21-22

21 In the Law it is written: “With other tongues

and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people,

but even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.”

22 Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.

Paul makes a very clear distension – Speaking in tongues is a sign that the Holy Spirit dwells in you.  Prophesy is for the believers who speak in tongues – who speak in the Holy Spirit

Who Jesus said in

John 4:23 “says” the Father wants these kind of worshipers

 John 4:23

Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

God the Father and Jesus the Son and God the Holy Spirit want people to Speak to Him and Him to them in the Holy Spirit – Speaking in Tongues.

Yet the People – The Church today “Do not hear Him” just as He said in Isaiah 28:8-12 and I Corinthians 14:21.

Again the Bible says in

1 Thessalonians 5:19

19 Do not quench the Spirit.

So pray in tongues as much as you can this might only be for a few minutes at first each day but do it because it is to be highly valued as Paul said in

1 Corinthians 14:18

18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.

Paul valued speaking in tongues greatly, Why? Because he understood that when he spoke in the Holy Spirit God enabled Holy Faith he was speaking directly to God Himself.  What a highly prized procession we have when we pray in the Holy Spirit!

 5 He is how God educates you about Him – It is His way of your conversion to be more like Him – Be more like Jesus as you walk on in your Christian life. Isaiah 28:11-12,

John 10:27

 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish;……

  1. He is how you build yourself up – Putting on the armour of God for the Spiritual Battle. Ephesians 6:10-18, Jude 20

Ephesians 6:10-18

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

11 Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

  1. He is how you can speak to someone in their language about God.  The First person to be documented[2] of receiving the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues in this “later rain” was Agnes Ozman[3] and she could write the language as well.

She said “it was like thinking English but it would come out Chinese.  It is said by the time of death she had spoken to people in their language up to five different languages via the power of the Holy Spirit[4].

It was for this reason the Gospel went out to all nations so quickly.

Acts 2:5-11

5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.

6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken.

7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?

8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language?

  • Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
  • Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome

11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”

  1. And again when you pray in the Holy Spirit, The Holy Spirit activates two parts of your brain that would otherwise not be used for anything else and He increases your immune system by up to 35-40%.

Romans 8:26 KJV

“26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities:[5] for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”

  1. Speaking in Tongues is to be used when the Church comes together and when it does and operates the Voice Matters of the Holy Spirit in its midst, it is inviting The Holy Spirit to part of the fellowship.

Commonly known as the gift of tongues, and again as explained this is a mistranslation it is “concerning spiritual matters”, a time comes in the church meeting when it is time for God to speak.

Correct Operation of the Voice of the Holy Spirit when the church comes together is as follows. Please read the whole of chapter 12

1 Cor 12:1

1 Now about the “matters” of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed

This is done (the operation of the voice spiritual matters in a corporate “church” gathering in a certain manner.

  • The leader of the meeting says we are now going to operate the spiritual voice of the Holy Spirit. In large groups he may designate an area or an area for each part of the voice of the spirit of inspirations of messages.
    • Then one person speaks in tongues – as moved upon by the Holy Spirit to speak;
    • Then one interprets that tongues – as moved upon by The Holy Spirit;
    • This happens two and at the most three times each – in succession;
    • Then three voices of prophesy are spoken – one at a time as The Holy Spirit moves a believing person in the church – The body of people who are filled with the Holy Faith (Jude 20).
  • In total there can be 6-9 Voice operations, minimum two Tongues, two interpretations of those tongues and two prophecies and a maximum of three tongues, 3 interpretations and three prophesies.

If this is not happening when your “church” the people comes together, ask your pastor or leader, Why? If they refuse  – you will know them by that fruit of rebellion against God’s Holy Spirit, that, that “church” gathering is not where you should be.

  1. Power – You receive Power when the Holy Spirit comes and manifests Himself in your body. 

Power to do what?

Cast out Demons – Nephilim Spirits – Mark 16:17;

Here we must remind ourselves of the truth of scripture.

2 Timothy 3:16 NIV

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Genesis 6:4

4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God and they went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

The sons of God are the 200 Fallen Angels mentioned in the Book of Enoch (Chapter 6:2-6). The book of Enoch is also part of the Ethiopian Canon bible.[6]

The above event is also mentioned in the book of Jubilees Chapter 5:1-7.[7]

The above events are also mentioned in the book of Jasher or Joshua chapter 4:17-20[8] The sons and daughters of the fallen angels along with the mixture of animals when died, became what we know today and in Genesis 6 – The Nephilim spirits/demons.  People who are filled with the Holy Spirit have the power of the Holy Spirit to cast these demons/spirits out of people and away from their own lives in the name of Jesus.  Which in turns confirms what Jesus said in:

Matthew 5:9

9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

  • Power to forgive sins – John 20:23;

23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”

  • Power to say to this mountain (problem) be cast into the sea and out of your or another’s life.

Matthew 21:21-22;

21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.

22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

  • If you consume poison by accident or someone poisons you have protection –

 Mark 16:17-18;

17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

18 ….. and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all;

  • They shall take up serpents (this does not mean physically picking up snakes) because Jesus said, “Thou shalt not tempt the Lord God”; rather it is saying you will be able to take up religious theological discussions or arguments with the ‘Pharisees’ of the day, because Jesus called the Pharisees of His day ‘vipers and sons of vipers’; and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them (this could mean false teachings as well as accidentally consuming physical poison, this will not contaminate you) –

 Mark 16:18 (AKJV)

18 they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

  • Lay hands on the sick, pray for the sick and the sick get better. Mark 16:18;

18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

  • Jesus will do what we ask in His name. John 14:13-14

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

  • Bind or loose things on Earth to be bounded or loosed in Heaven Matthew 18:18.

18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Truly blessed (Matthew 5:1-12) are those that are filled with The HOLY SPIRIT – Speaking in Tongues and build themselves up daily in HIM. Jude 20.

Matthew 5:1-12

1 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him,

2 and he began to teach them.

The Beatitudes

He said:

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are those who mourn,

for they will be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek,

for they will inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,

for they will be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful,

for they will be shown mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart,

for they will see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers,

for they will be called children of God.

10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

  • “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
  • Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

 Love

 Some people still and over the years I have been born again christian by water and spirit, have said its all about love – you can speak in tongues but love is greater and this is true Paul said this in 1 Cor 13 – but they have missed the whole point of receiving the Holy Spirit. Let me explain, Jesus said in

 Matthew 22:35-40

35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:

36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

38 This is the first and greatest commandment.

39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

However Jesus also said in

Matthew 7:11

11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

The question is how does one who is evil for Jeremiah said in 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?, confirmed by Jesus saying “you are evil”, how do we get pure true love of God in our Hearts Mind and Soul?

There is only one way to be able to achieve that, and that is by receiving the Pure Holy Spirit Himself and when you do you will know because in Acts 19 we find believers who had repented and been baptised by full immersion but when Paul reached them they had not heard of the Holy Spirit.  So Paul layed hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit and how did they know they had received the Holy Spirit?

Acts 19:6

6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

We know that when you speak in tongues God’s precepts are written on your heart mind and soul because in Isaiah 28:10 it says

Isaiah 28:10 KJV

10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

  • for with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
  • To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing:

Now we know in our thesaurus’s the synonym’s word precept can be the following – list is not extensive.

  • Law,
  • Command
  • Direction
  • Principle
  • Regulation commandment
  • Doctrine

Therefore the Law and commandment of “Love one another” and “Love God” in a pure authentic way or manner can only come from the indwelling, leading and teaching of the Holy Spirit and the evidence that you have Him the Holy Spirit in you is Acts 19:6 ….”for they “spake with tongues”.

Therefore “no Tongues” means no infilling of the Holy Spirit means no Holy Faith and therefore it is impossible to know the intended love God wants you to have for Him and for one another, Therefore

Jude 20-21

20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,

21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

This is the way you keep yourself in God’s Love and Loving God to the fullest and others, by first praying in the Holy Spirit – Holy Faith to become holy and Christ to bring you to eternal life.

Therefore Love is Greater – but God’s Holy Spirit Teaches you to Love God’s way. You cannot do it, only God’s Holy Spirit do it in you for you are not saved by works of love or charity but by grace through faith.

Ephesians 2:8

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.

Again 3 faiths:

  1. Saving Faith
  2. Enabling Faith
  3. Holy Faith

Holy Faith is being “on fire” as it were in the Spirit, Loving God and others to the full extend of the leading of the comforter The Holy Spirit.

Acts 1:8

8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Power to do what?

Power to Love The LORD GOD:

Power to Love Jesus the Son of God;

 Power to Love God the Holy Spirit Person;

 and Power to Love People through Holy Faith Worship.

And therefore may your attitude become a Beaut-attitude[9] meaning a beautiful attitude.

*It is accepted today that the latter verses of Mark 16 was not in the original text, however it is clear to the believer that the Holy Spirit wanted the verses in the bible as they clearly back up and expound the truth of the Word of God in every way.

Hebrews 10:26

26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,

27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

29 How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

30 For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”

31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Finally brethren and we remind you again to build up your most faith:

Jude 20-21

20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
