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

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.

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!
