Have Ye Received The Holy Ghost Since Ye Believed?


"...Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,

He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost."

Old King James Bible Acts 19:1 - 2

Is God Calling You?

The wonderful Power Of God Is made manifest In the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It was in the book of Acts that the believers first received the awesome power of God in the form of the Holy Ghost. The scripture says: "And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness." ( KJV Acts 4:31)
God's Injunction All Believers Is To Receive The Holy Ghost
In the book of Acts The Almighty promised the Holy Ghost through his servant Peter. He said, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." (Acts 2:38-39".
God Does Not Alter His Course
God does not change, when He speaks through His word, or through a legitimate prophet, through His Holy Spirit, or through the Living Word- His son Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, He does what he says He will do. He told us in His word, "For I am the Lord, I change not"- ( Malachi 3:6-KJV. (Hebrews 13:8 -KJV) If your Bible does not say these things, then you have a version that denies the power of God and you need to get the King's James version of the bible.
God Does Not Lie
Just remember, that God is who He says He is, he has not changed, and He will not change. If He said something, then it is true. If He said He will do something, then He will do what He promised. You can bank on His words and when you are filled with His powerful Holy Ghost, then His words will cause His power to manifest in your life. Having received His power, then you will receive one or more of His wonderful gifts. "Now there are diversities of gifts, but the Same Spirit".."For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit". "To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another diverse kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues"
You Must Have Faith In God
Whatever you currently believe or do not believe about the Living God, one thing you must have faith above all else is that God does not lie. All you have to do is to look into His word to see that this is true. To Abram he promised "..I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth:.." (Genesis 13:16 KJV). The Abraham believed and had faith even until he was a very old man. But, in spite of Abraham’s advanced age, God did as He had promised. "For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age,.." (Genesis 21:2) The scripture explains that Abraham, "..being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body, now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb," (Romans 4:19 KJV).
Are You Called By The Almighty?
God has said that the Holy Ghost is for all that are called of Him. Are you so called? if so, receive ye the Holy Ghost.

The Holy Ghost Nudges Me About Slugs

Personally, I have never liked slugs, and I usually don't talk about them either. But, just as the
 Holy Ghost, shows us things to come, He is also the Spirit of Truth and guides us into all truth. So when I first had a dream about slugs, I wondered just what the dream meant. After all, some dreams are good, and many are not so good and are about things that require prayer.
So when I first had a dream about slugs, I wondered just what the dream meant. After all, some dreams are good, and many are not so good and are about things that require prayer.
Earlier in the year, I had had my fill of the little creatures. I had a backyard garden which the slugs were determined to destroy one way or another. I used slug bait and slug traps and all the slug eradication gimmicks I could muster, but in the end, after the garden had been cleared away, the slugs were still around. I had not resorted to killing them on sight, but I was at that point when I had the slug dream.


After I had that sluggy dream I prayed and the Lord through His precious Holy Ghost answered. I was still shocked about the topic of my prayers, but the Holy Ghost even the Spirit of Truth dealt with me concerning a subject that I did not care for.
Following my prayers, some thought and a little research, I found out that the Lord wanted me to realize that slugs are on the His clean-up crew. They eat the dead leaves, fungus and earth worms that litter grass and grounds in the fall, spring and early summer. They do in fact, really have a wonderful purpose. They are a seriously needed part of God's creation. I was shown all of this by the Lord through the nudging of His Holy Ghost, not to indiscriminately destroy His little creations, the slugs that help to clean up waste materials on the ground. Praise the Lord for all His marvelous creatures and His wonderful creation!
