The Holy Ghost is the power of God on this earth even
through us. HE is also the Witness of
the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Spirit of Truth and our Comforter.
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 14:16-17
John
answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one
mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to
unloose: he shall baptize you with the
Holy Ghost and with fire – Luke 3:16
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 – John 16:13
And when
they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and
they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with
boldness. And the multitude of them that
believed were of one heart and of one soul:
neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was
his own; but they had all things common.
And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of
the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon
them all – Acts 4:31-33
The kingdom
of God is righteousness,
peace and joy in the Holy Ghost…acknowledge him…seek after Him. Walk in his
love (charity), truth and obedience experiencing his grace and overcoming
power…Walk Christ-like.......
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but
righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost – Romans 14:17
Even the
righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all
them that believe: for there is no difference. For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God. Being justified freely by his grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom
God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his
righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance
of God – Romans 3:22-25
For the kingdom
of God is not in word,
but in power – 1 Corinthians 4:20
Now the
God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in
hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost – Romans 15:13
But ye shall receive power, after
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 – Acts 1:8
Now when
they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to
the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then
Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of
Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the
Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you,
and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord
our God shall call – Acts 2:37-39
And my speech and preaching was
not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and
of power – 1 Corinthians 2:4
For our
gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy
Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you
for your sake. And ye became followers
of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy
in the Holy Ghost – 1 Thessalonians 1:5-6
While
Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on them which heard the
word. And they of the circumcision which
believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the
Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and
magnify God. Then answered Peter. Can any man forbid water, that these should
not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the
name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days – Acts 10:44-48
Then
remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with
water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift
as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I
could withstand God? – Acts 11:16-17
But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law.
And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections
and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let
us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not
be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another –
Galatians 5:22-26
Here are a few excerpts identified in quotations
from my hopeful upcoming book “Drawing a Line in the Sand Revisited”:
“Here is a
scripture that reveals when the term 'Christian' is first used:
And when
he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they
assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians
first in Antioch
– Acts 11:26
Our true identity
is in Jesus Christ. We are called Christians, this is our identity and our
identity is not in some denominational or non-denominational name or church
organization. The church we attend does not define us, but the Holy Spirit
(God-Jesus) does. The term “Christian”
began to be used to describe followers of Jesus Christ (Acts 11:26). This term is still used today. This term
should be taken more seriously for those who call themselves Christians. All of
us who believe in the birth, life, crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection
of Jesus Christ are Christians. All of us who believe that Jesus was God come
down unto men manifest in the flesh as the scripture reads, the word made
flesh, are Christians of the right spirit. All of us who believe that Jesus is
coming back for his people (saved believers) are Christians with faith and
hope. All of us who love the Lord God and others with all our heart are
Christians. Once again, the term “Christian” means to be Christ-like. P.
109-110
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto
you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and
wherein ye stand; By which also ye are
saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed
in vain. For I delivered unto you first
of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according
to the scriptures; And that he was
buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures – 1
Corinthians 15:1-4
I wrote this scripture previously revealing what the
Apostles and Paul preached unto people. They
preached Jesus and the resurrection.
This is the gospel of Christ; this is what Paul first received and how
he was saved. As you can read in the
above verses, Paul declared unto them the gospel which he preached by which
they were saved. The death of Jesus Christ on the cross set us free and brought
us salvation. His resurrection gave us
hope. His comforter sent unto us, the
Holy Ghost, brought us power, a witness and the boldness to speak and walk in
the Lord Jesus Christ with love and truth without fear. We are to walk humble, be just and love
mercy. P. 115
“The spirit of man is the candle (lamp)
of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly – Proverbs 20:27
Our spirit is the lamp and the Spirit of life (Spirit of
Christ-salvation in Jesus-Spirit of God) is the oil for our lamp. The baptismal
with fire in the Holy Ghost is what lights the oil into a burning flame that
shines forth with witness and power unto the world dispelling the darkness.
When you feel and sense things in the spirit or rather in your own spirit you
most likely we feel it in your belly as Proverbs 20:27 reveals. P. 111
God is a Spirit and God is love (charity). What are the
greatest gifts of God and the greatest long-term evidence of walking in the
Holy Spirit of God? By all we’ve read and learned so far it is that we walk in
love (charity) and truth. Many churches
and denominations put to much focus on certain gifts without giving the true
foundation of the gifts. The foundation
of all things from God is built on love through the sacrifice of Jesus
Christ. Love is sacrifice and God is
love (1 John 4:8). P. 114
Here are some scriptures that give the purpose behind
tongues and prophecy:
Wherefore
tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not:
but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which
believe. If therefore the whole church
be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in
those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are
mad? But if all prophesy, and there come
in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is
judged of all: And thus are the secrets
of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship
God, and report that God is in you of a truth – 1 Corinthians 14:22-25
Some churches and
denominations don’t believe in speaking in tongues or don’t believe that
tongues (cloven tongues of fire) should take place in the church. Once again,
not every church is used by the Spirit of God in the same manner or operation. You
may not ever speak in tongues, because we know according to the word of God not
all people will, but to deny and not believe in it would be unwise since it
comes from the Holy Ghost. We all have to ask God for wisdom and to guide us. We
have to watch what we say, and we have to watch what we teach and what we learn
from others. The Holy Ghost is the
Spirit of truth and without the Holy Ghost in and upon your ministry there will
be no “anointed” truth concerning the word of God that comes out of you. Here is a scripture that lets us know that
tongues should not be denied or forbidden:
Wherefore, brethren covet to prophesy, and forbid not to
speak with tongues – 1 Corinthians 14:39
The majority of people who are baptized with fire in the
Holy Ghost will speak in tongues (tongues of fire) when being filled. We now
know through scripture that I have written from the word of God that some
people may not speak with tongues upon being filled with the Holy Ghost, but
some possibly may speak the word of God with boldness, prophesy or speak a word
of knowledge (Acts 4:31-33). Once again,
the sign that usually follows the baptismal of the Holy Ghost with fire is
speaking in tongues (tongues of fire) as the Spirit of God gives utterance. When the Holy Ghost is speaking in any
manner, the devil (our adversary) gets out of the way and runs. There is power in the Holy Ghost and in the
blood and name of Jesus.
Some people, churches and denominations even say that
speaking in tongues is of the devil. Be very careful what you say or you may
possibly blaspheme the Holy Ghost without knowing it. In all the word of God there has never been a
written account of a devil speaking through anyone in tongues.
Ye
stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy
Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye – Acts 7:51
Some churches and denominations may focus on the gift of
tongues to much. There is so much more to teach about concerning the Holy
Spirit than just speaking in tongues.
Denominations, churches and pastors don’t let the teaching of the
infilling of the Holy Ghost only be about speaking in tongues. The Holy Ghost is so much more than
that. There is so much spiritual detail
and teachings concerning the Holy Ghost that we can’t possibly understand it
all. How can we possibly comprehend the power and Spirit of the Ancient of
Days?
I form
the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do
all these things – Isaiah 45:7”
P. 114-115
All of the scriptures
applied in this entire writing came from my 1972 King James Bible. I also applied them all, plus so much more, in
the new book that I’ve written for a teaching on one of the topics in my book, which
is the Gift of the Holy Ghost.
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; That being justified by his
grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a faithful saying, and these things I
will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be
careful to maintain good works. These
things are good and profitable unto men – Titus 3:4-8
Who is he that overcometh the
world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even
Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness,
because the Spirit is truth. For there
are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one. And there are
three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and
these three agree in one – 1 John 5:5-8
Here are some words from the chorus of a song written by a
Christian “rock” group called Decyfer Down. These words mean a lot to me and if
they come from your heart to the Lord God, Saviour and Holy Ghost – Jesus
Christ, then they’ll mean something to you as well:
“I want to love what you love, I want to see what you see, I
want a heart that burns like a fire in me, I want your light in my life, I want my heart renewed…Here I
am…forever with you”
Here’s a great worship song called “Holy Spirit” by Bryan
& Katie Torwalt:

What is the purpose behind my hopeful upcoming new book “Drawing a Line in the Sand Revisited”, why was it written and what audience will it appeal to?
"My book was primarily written to reestablish God’s word which was already written and to also support creation. I wrote it to lift up the name of Jesus drawing a line in the sand against Satan and all those who bring and try to keep division in the body of Christ. Too many churches and denominations slander each other, backbite and separate themselves from one another just because of their denominational name, traditions, standards, customs or personal theological view and teachings. I witnessed this going on in various ways while living in Louisiana for thirty-four years. Certain denominations have always been divided against one another although there are many true spirit-filled, kind and loving Christians within every denomination and church. My book may also help bridge a gap between some Christians and denominations through biblical scripture. We are all one body as brothers and sisters in Christ no matter what denomination or church we attend as long as the GOSPEL OF CHRIST is being taught and preached. The gospel of Christ is the birth, life, teachings, crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This book also contains a great deal of scripture verses for ease of memory, especially from what book, chapter and verse it is located.
We are to love, care for, encourage and lift up one another.
God created diversity not division.
I wrote my book to answer many questions people have. I also wrote it to share valuable information, sources, links as well as empower people through facts and biblical scripture guided by the Holy Spirit on several topics, but under four major categories which are: Salvation, Holy Ghost, Water Baptism and Divisions in the body of Christ. The book itself is an excellent study guide.
I pray and hope that my book
can and will be used as a tool for the kingdom of God
and to reach the lost.”I wrote my book to answer many questions people have. I also wrote it to share valuable information, sources, links as well as empower people through facts and biblical scripture guided by the Holy Spirit on several topics, but under four major categories which are: Salvation, Holy Ghost, Water Baptism and Divisions in the body of Christ. The book itself is an excellent study guide.
I received a prophetic message during a prayer service in Louisiana by a woman in 2008 that I would write a book that would help people, but I definitely didn’t know anything about book writing or publishing. I wrote this Christian book called “Drawing a Line in the Sand” and had it self-published in 2009 through AuthorHouse Publishing. I put my own money into the book but I never was satisfied with it at all. When I started writing the book I was grieving over the loss of my mother Vicki, and so it was a way for me to cope with her death which truly kept me grounded in the word of God.
The book was kind of boring and immaturely written and the Spirit of the Lord knew how I felt about it. I wrote some things that I believe were not correct as well. The last section of the book that I wrote on end-times was something that I was not ready to write back then, so I completely removed it. I have grown immensely as a writer since 2008 both in wisdom as well as knowledge on the word of God. Writing and self publishing my first book was definitely a growing and learning experience for me and I learned a lot even about marketing. However, the book did have potential and served as well as a biblical study guide. I really had to just spend some time rewriting, updating, editing and most importantly defining the purpose of my book.
I learned a great lesson to not ever rush something that you are meant to take time with it. Put true quality into your work and not quantity. I received two more prophetic messages in 2013 and 2014 by a man at the church where I currently attend in Washington State. I knew the prophetic message for me was from God because this man didn’t know me at all. The first time he came up to me out of the blue and said, “You’ve stopped writing, and God wants you to write.” You could imagine how I felt because this man didn’t know me at all and it was true. I did stop writing and was discouraged, but that really encouraged me and so I created a facebook, twitter page and a blog for writing. The second prophecy I received from the same man again in early 2014 was a message about God using my writings to help many people. He said that my writings would even go into dark places to reach people where others have not. I knew in my heart and spirit that I needed to rewrite and revise my first book and then get it published again. I began writing on two books at once. The first was rewriting “Drawing a Line in the Sand”, and thank God I have accomplished that. The second book I am currently writing is on the rise of the Antichrist. It will be about the last days but with a new twist that no other end-time book offers that I know of.
Let God draw a line in the sand today against the gates of hell in your life. Don't give up, BE a fighter...
This is my attempt at a self-made promo video for my new
hopeful upcoming book called "Drawing a Line in the Sand Revisited."
Really I just like the song lol, but the video reveals reasons why my book was
written as well as some questions & topics answered and covered in my work.
The song playing during the video is called "Draw the Line" by the
Christian rock band 'Disciple'.
