THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE LAST DAYS

The Holy Spirit wants Freedom of Speech.  For Himself!  Listen.  The Holy Spirit wants Freedom of Speech for Himself.

The Church began on the day of Pentecost with Tongues of Fire!  This gave the Holy Spirit greater Freedom of Speech.  Through you.  Through Christians of all ages.

Christian initiation and Baptism in the Holy Spirit  is evident in the first eight centuries of Christianity, reveals authors and researchers Kilian McDonnell and George T. Montague.

New evidence found in the post-biblical authors demonstrates that what is called baptism in the Holy Spirit was integral to Christian initiation. This means baptism in the Spirit does not belong to private piety but to public official liturgy and is normative.

You can read all about it in Christian Initiation and Baptism in the Holy Spirit by McDonnell and Montague available here:  https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=31647449207&cm_sp=SEARCHREC-_-WIDGET-L-_-BDP-R&searchurl=an%3DMcDonnell%26sortby%3D17%26tn%3DChristian%2BInitiation%2Band%2BBaptism%2Bin%2Bthe%2BHoly%2BSpirit%2B All intellectually honest clergy especially need to read this book as soon as possible!

To censor the Holy Spirit in Sunday services and elsewhere is to surely invite serious prohibition on one’s own Freedom of Speech.  Simply because you reap what you sow.  Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty. 

Where the Spirit of the Lord is not given free reign, there is no Liberty.  Put the Holy Spirit on Lockdown and reap the consequences.  Restrain the Restrainer and experience restraints on yourself and your way of life.

The way forward is the way back.  We must return to the Christian Initiations of the first eight centuries.  Especially in these perilous times, there are many reasons for this!  Not the least of which is to offset the growing occult external and internal to churches.

The tongue is the most unruly part of your body.  When this is controlled by Holy Spirit speaking in tongues and interpretation, God’s control and order is manifested, moving forth His agenda! 

Today, Satan has an arsenal of “logical reasons” to keep the Holy Spirit on Lockdown.  To keep, if you will, a mask on His face.  A demonically-crafted muzzle!  Here are some of these “logical” reasons:

• “YouTube Sunday services must be perfect in every way!  The creativity of the Holy Spirit must be flawless.  We want to be our Best for Soros-controlled YouTube!”  But to enforce this “logic” in the politest of ways is still IDOLATRY. Putting one’s pride in flawless YouTube presentations, over positive Holy Spirit interruptions, is IDOLATRY.

• “Those with a Word through Tongues and Interpretation must first bring it to the clergy before the service or before giving.”  This seems so logical!  The clergy are made to feel safe and secure.  All potential embarrassments are under control.  But guess what…  This is not how it works!  Very often the Holy Spirit doesn’t inspire, with tongues and interpretation for the congregation, till the service – especially the song service – is well underway and, when welcomed into the service, then He gives a word at that time!  (This yields very interesting and welcome experiences. A word given between songs is often related to the theme of the upcoming song, to the delight of pastor and congregation, though the one Speaking in Tongues is consciously unaware of what the next song is.  Or a Word between song service and sermon often reveals the theme of the upcoming sermon – such as “Be instant in season and out of season” – though, again, the one expressing does now know what the theme is.  Both the above happen a lot!)

• “What if the tongues and interpretation says something against the clergy? Corrects us?  Chastises us?  Embarrasses us?  Is it not wisdom to prevent this so the clergy doesn’t live in constant fear?”  And this seems so “logical.”  But this is logic dictated by fear and not by true Christian love, as “They will know we are Christians by our love, by our love.”  This “logic” also shows a serious lack of trust in God to control situations and resorts to measures of the “natural man.”  Also, just because a pastor disagrees with a Spirit-filled congregant on other debatable issues, should not mean the Holy Spirit is stifled and banned when the congregant needs to give a Word in obedience to the Holy Spirit.  The pastor’s  censorship can be a serious sin at this point, when banning the Holy Spirit from speaking through an imperfect human.  (Why doesn’t God use only perfect people?  Because there aren’t any.) 

All the above reasons are “logic” for keeping the Holy Spirit on Lockdown, for Restraining the Restrainer.  Of course, any “Logic 101” book worth its salt will tell you logic is not truth. But wait.  There’s more! 

• “Teenage girls may become frightened and not return to church with their families.” But weren’t there teenage girls in the first eight centuries of Christianity?  Of course! Did not their parents prepare them beforehand – early charismatics possibly speaking in tongues themselves – so Satan could not make them experience fear at the Gifts of the Spirit?  Indeed, in today’s world, this is the responsibility of parents and clergy alike.

• “First timers and newcomers may never, ever come back, when hearing Tongues and Interpretation for the first time.”  But doesn’t the Divinely-inspired Word of God assure us that tongues is for the unbeliever.  When heard and experienced, the Holy Spirit does His work in the new person.

• “Five years ago, there was a person at a conference who gave an inappropriate word in tongues and interpretation.  From that day forward, I vowed I would not let that happen in my congregation.”  Sounds so responsible, doesn’t it.  Sounds so “logical.”  But does one bad apple spoil the whole bunch?  Do we throw a full barrel of excellent apples away because of one?  Too, the one with an inappropriate word may have been an occult infiltrator or merely a growing and maturing Christian.  I’m sure the leaders in the first eight centuries prayed for discernment for themselves and the congregations to determine authenticity.

• “People will say we’re occultic and we’ll get a bad reputation.”  Wait a minute. It’s the rapidly increasing occult which needs Christian conversion and the Divinely supernatural will draw them.  Otherwise, hunger for the supernatural will lead more and more seekers into the occult.  And this culminates in making the end times even more perilous… 

And now we’re back at the beginning:

The Holy Spirit wants Freedom of Speech.  For Himself!  Listen.  The Holy Spirit wants Freedom of Speech for Himself.

The Church began on the day of Pentecost with Tongues of Fire!  This gave the Holy Spirit greater Freedom of Speech.  Through you.  Through Christians of all ages!

Recently, I expressed a Tongues and Interpretation Message in a Sunday service.  Immediately following, a Mennonite woman ran up to the pastor and said, “I understood every word of it!  It’s old Slavic German and I understood every word!”  Then she came to me with four other women and said, “I understood every word of it!  It’s old Slavic German and I understood every word!  The Mennonites keep the language alive.”

“Well,” I said, “maybe you’re to now receive the Gift of Tongues and Interpretation and take it back to the Mennonites.”  Clearly, the Holy Spirit wasn’t on Lockdown that day!

But listen.  If you are a pastor and keep the Holy Spirit on Lockdown, you are guilty of Apostasy.  Today, it is time for positive adjustments.
