Do you have the Holy Spirit? How do you know that you are saved, and that you have the Holy Spirit? For without the Holy Spirit you cannot enter into God’s kingdom! This is the way you know for sure. As soon as you believe you will be transform; it is something that happens to all who believe! It is nothing short of a miracle, today I am Anastasia tomorrow a totally different person, and everybody around you will know. You don’t turn a new leaf or try to be a better man, or hope that you are saved, you will know beyond a shadow of a dought. I knew as soon as I believed that I was different, I knew that I was saved. All the joy that comes with knowing, all the hunger is not me but Him. The excitement, the willingness to serve Him; who has saved me or you. Here is an example of a few who got saved in the Bible Acts 8-26-38 the Ethiopian eunuch, was reading the old testament book of Isaiah,{ ``He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb is silent before the shearers, so he opened not his mouth; in his humiliation, justice was denied him; and who can express the wickedness of the people of his generation? For his life is taken from the earth.'' The eunuch asked Philip, who ``Was Isaiah talking about himself or someone else?'' So Philip began with this same Scripture and then used many others to tell him about Jesus. As they rode along, they came to a small body of water, and the eunuch said, ``Look! Water! Why can't I be baptized?'' ``You can,'' Philip answered, ``if you believe with all your heart.'' And the eunuch replied, ``I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.''} (As you can see here, if you believed with your whole heart you too should be baptized.) He stopped the chariot, and they went down into the water and Philip baptized him. And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch never saw him again, but went on his way rejoicing.} I have underlined all that a believer must do, and feel. Here is another story of salvation. Acts 11:15-18{Then I thought of the Lord's words when he said, `Yes, John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.' And since it was God who gave these Gentiles the same gift he gave us the Jews; when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to argue?'' When the others heard this, all their objections were answered and they began praising God! ``Yes,'' they said, ``God has given to the Gentiles, too, the privilege of turning to him and receiving eternal life!''} You will praise God Acts 16:31-34 they replied, ``Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, and your entire household.'' Then they told him and his entire household the Good News from the Lord. That same hour he washed their stripes and he and all his family were baptized. Then he brought them up into his house and set a meal before them. How he and his household rejoiced because all were now believers! (You will rejoice) So much so that you don’t know what to do with yourself. My husband was instantly changed. John in my web site if you been following his writings, you will know he is saved, because he has all the fruits, of a person being saved he just can’t shut up that is the fruit of the Holy Spirit. And I know exactly how he is feeling, that hunger for the Word of God it is done by the Holy Spirit. I have said in my letter! The day I got the Holy Spirit? That it is no longer I but the Spirit in you! We cannot explain how some people will say the sinner’s prayer, and by that I mean repent. But never got the Holy Spirit. It happen to me. I did not get it right away most of the people have to prove to God they are pursuing Him, and really mean business with Him, than after He comes in; He will give you the hunger for Him. And others repent and get it like John. My husband, me and many others, Jesus said many are called but few are chosen. I truly believe God is no respecter of persons for the Bible tells us this. So the best to my knowledge is, that certain people don’t get it because, they never meant it when they repented. And were too proud to acknowledge that they need God to help them overcome their sinful nature. They change a little and think that is salvation. No way can this be true, you will turn 360 degrees. You will not be ashamed of telling others about God, because it is a spring of water flowing out from you. John 4:14 ``But the water I give them,'' he said, ``becomes a perpetual spring within them, watering them forever with eternal life.''} This water is the word of God that keeps watering our spirit. We wake up with Him we go to sleep with Him, we are always looking and watching and waiting for His return. We are in love with our savior, and if we slack a little He takes away our joy. So we come back to our love one Yeshua our Savior and our King, to be filled again. Once you have tasted the goodness of the Lord nothing else will do. It is so sad to see people take the marriage vows to God and run away from it. Sometimes they don’t even give it time to work, these are the people like Esau! They come with a blemish offering and God will never accept it. God hated Esau because he sold his birthright for food; he wanted to satisfy his flesh more than God. And later he sought forgiveness with tears God never forgave Esau, just as Judas- who had a taste for God but turn his back on God and let the devil rule him. Here is Malachi 1:1-14 {The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi. "I have loved you,'' says the Lord.”Yet you say, `In what way have You loved us?' "Was not Esau Jacob's brother?'' says the Lord.”Yet Jacob I have loved; but Esau I have hated, and laid waste his mountains and his heritage for the jackals of the wilderness.'' Even though Edom has said, "We have been impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places,'' Thus says the Lord of hosts: "They may build, but I will throw down; they shall be called the Territory of Wickedness, and the people against whom the Lord will have indignation forever. your eyes shall see, and you shall say, `The Lord is magnified beyond the border of Israel.' "A son honors his father and a servant his master. If then I am the Father, where is My honor? And if I am a Master, where is My reverence? Says the Lord of hosts to you priests who despise My name. Yet you say, `In what way have we despised Your name?' "You offer defiled food on My altar. But you say, `In what way have we defiled You?' By saying, `The table of the Lord is contemptible.' And when you offer the blind as a sacrifice, is it not evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? Offer it then to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you favorably?'' says the Lord of hosts. "But now entreat God's favor, that He may be gracious to us. While this is being done by your hands, will He accept you favorably?'' says the Lord of hosts. "Who is there even among you who would shut the doors, So that you would not kindle fire on My altar in vain? I have no pleasure in you,'' Says the Lord of hosts, "Nor will I accept an offering from your hands. For from the rising of the sun, even to its going down, my name shall be great among the Gentiles; In every place incense shall be offered to My name, and a pure offering; For My name shall be great among the nations,'' says the Lord of hosts.” But you profane it, in that you say, `The table of the Lord is defiled; and its fruit, its food, is contemptible.' You also say, `Oh, what a weariness!' and you sneer at it,'' says the Lord of hosts. "And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick; thus you bring an offering! Should I accept this from your hand?'' says the Lord. "But cursed be the deceiver who has in his flock a male, and makes a vow, but sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished for I am a great King,'' says the Lord of hosts, "And My name is to be feared among the nations.} So offer Him your best and He will do the same for you. If you didn’t get the Holy Spirit Ask Him for it? Pursue Him and you will get it. When you do, let me know so I can rejoice with you? You are getting the most powerful gift there is, should you not know you got it. My dear you will know and your whole household will know. If you are able to hide such a salvation, that’s because you don’t have it. Like Jesus said no one who lights a candle, puts it under a bed but on a lamp- stand. Neither can you when you get the Holy Spirit. Anastasia servant of my Lord and savior Yeshua -Jesus |
