Restoring the place of the Holy Spirit

{Rebuilding the respect and authority of the Holy Spirit in your life}
^{(a rude, shaking calling, because sometimes we need that)}

Dear Reader!

Honoring the Holy Spirit does not necessarily mean that we missed the focus of Christ! We do not praise or worship anyone but the Father and Christ. We don't rejoice or worship anyone else or anything else in our blessed new status in Christ!
But He, the Lord himself gave the Mighty Spirit for us.
Has our relationship with God changed throughout history?
Yes. We, humans had tribes, we had nation builder heroes, we had covenants.
Then He the Mighty visited Abraham.
Then he has built a chosen nation.
Then He sent the Promised Son.
Has our relationship in Christ changed throughout history?
Not. He didn’t withdraw his mercy and gift. He didn't change our intimate relationship in the family.
However, the nowaday "classic" church or the modern "charismatic" (so-called) movements are surprisingly not really familiar with the Holy Spirit. Instead - they have various extremely over emphasised teachings: On the one hand, they approach him in a completely abstract way, putting the Mighty's works into the "historical", distant perspective. On the other, they want to feel His presence at all costs, ignoring His multifaceted and often surprising work in our character.
The modern theories do not honour the Holy Spirit any more than the old dry church trends. If the churchy folks go to the building on Sunday, getting service, getting impressions, that's consumerism... instead of giving service, honoring the Lord with reverence and awe.
But. We are the Royal Priesthood.

Is the Holy Spirit the Living Gd's Spirit?

Traditions have gone awry. The Keepers nowaday don't want "extreme events" driven by someone else, they want safety – in this way they spillt the kid with the bath water. They do not maintain the intimacy (which is sad) but more significantly, they often don't submit themselves to the sovereign work of the living Gd's Breath.
Is he/she the Mighty One?
If he/she takes the lead - who dares to question that? These folks dare!

Is the Holy Spirit: God?

The evangelicals or "charismatics" aren't better. They want to use him/her, all the time, as a Swiss Army knife, as a delivery guy. ... They want to feel the Spirit, rather enjoying the moment, always in affectionate and childish - selfish way.
Do you really believe that 3-4 late 80s pop song is a worship? Or a one man band talk-show is the wisdom of His knowledge?
This folks want to use the Spirit in every aspect. Want to utilise "it" for their own desires .... Not to mention using him/her in various ways of the human life: assuming the multitool function where our co-work, our love, our compassion should be concerned. What kind of character is the result?
What kind of comfort zone is the result?
What kind of attitude are these humanized religious folks (both group) want to follow? Doing seemingly good things? Doing religious justifications? Bringing judgement over the nations? Or "certain" nations? Sometimes even manipulating or abusing others in the name of Jesus the Christ? Who are you to overwrite /override Gd's intentions?
....
Could you cheat the Mighty?
You could cheat your conscience!
...

Christian! Wash your eyes!

God made steps! He walks according to His plan "A".
· Gd Almighty has sent Jesus - Who is the Christ of the World.
· Christ has done the saving works on the cross on the Earth. You have New Testament and New Life.
· Christ has ascended and continues the High Priest's work at the Throne.
· Christ has promised and sent the Mighty Gd's Spirit – for us. To be our councellor, comforter, the river of life.
He is the Mighty Gd here, in this form. This is the Mighty form of the Holy of Holy what you have now. At present He/She is the only form with Whom you can live in heavenly intimacy and in love.
God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Rm 5:5) says Paul - who had previously persecuted believers cruelly.
We have records, written testimonies on the "original" Jesus, his original teachings. We have been encouraged, we have been instructed. We are heirs not outstanders. We have our father's consent to live a rich life. We are the representatives on the Earth, now. (1Pt 2:9)
You can learn all the blessings in the New Testament. You can ask for all the deeds, helps, saving powers, actions in the Book of Acts and the letters. The same help.
Why? Because "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today, forever" (Heb 13:8)
He didn't withdraw the gift of the Holy Spirit. He has been working by his true and steadfast love. Not by sentimental feelings. He is the core of the Love, embodied in the restoration.
Are you with Him? Are you thirsty? Are you hungry?
You can not be driven by mere letter - it kills. The Spirit quickens. The breath gives life in the New Testament!

He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit produces life. 2Cor 3:6

Is this an apostolic statement? Are they your apostles and elders and respectful leaders? Are these apostles your forefathers and your bosses - right after Christ? Or not?
So think carefully about whether your respect God, or not, truly honouring God's plan, God's way, or not. Be careful accepting this plan "A", accepting it's implementation through His 3rd person. He is a person.
Gd's works are being executed by the Spirit. Works. Not theories! Personally given opportunities, actions, good directions, warnings, rebukings, encouragements, release, love, life.

I pray that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power in the inner man through His Spirit, and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith.
Eph 3:16-17

when the goodness of God
and His love for mankind appeared,
He saved us —
not by works of righteousness that we had done,
but according to His mercy,
through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
He poured out this Spirit on us abundantly
through Jesus Christ our Savior,
so that having been justified by His grace,
we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life.
– This saying is trustworthy.
Titus 3:4-8

Do you realise His goodness, the saving mercy? Did you understand that you're justified by grace? That you have become a heir?
Do you respect his apostles? Are they trustworthy? Is their intense testimony and work in Christ and by the Holy Spirit united with your testimony and work in Christ and by the Holy Spirit who is living in you?
Do you realize the indispensability of this? The shine of this?
Do you have real treasure in Him?
Do you have constant pure life through his cleansing work?
Or you can admit your lukewarm life, and now - you can run to buy gold, pure white clothes, and eye ointment...

I advise you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire so that you may be rich, white clothes so that you may be dressed and your shameful nakedness not be exposed, and ointment to spread on your eyes so that you may see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline.
Rev 3:18

You can run and buy.
Are you needy?
Run! There's a source!
Are you obedient?
Run! There's a righteous Master for you!
And He is the everlasting Father too, the father who is waiting for you – again!
You are heir! Part of the family! Run and get your affairs in order! Make your things and thoughts right!
The Ps. 50 is our reality:

“The one who offers thanksgiving
as his sacrifice glorifies me;
to one who orders his way rightly
I will show the salvation of God!”
Ps 50:23

How can I get – I didn't learn

We have 2 significant verses for your release.

If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?
Luk 11:13
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives;” (NIV)
Mt 7:7-8
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (NIV)
Luke 6:38

That's our good, practical advice by the Mercy.

Faith-building is our reality

Building our dearly kept faith means lot of actions. We humans are not able to act without the Mighty Spirit. We humans are not able to navigate without the information Lord's mighty Word - inspired by the Mighty Spirit, written down by the faithful, spirit - filled apostolic forefathers.
We are created, predestined and shaped to live together with Gd in the Eden. Now, here - on the Earth - is the place to be restored in the love of God, to be prepared for the ongoing everlasting Eden.

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Jud 1:20-21
