Misconception of the Holy Spirit?

By: Minister E. J. Kolenda

It is said that the Holy Ghost [Spirit] is a 'subsequent experience' to salvation, that you
really do not have to have it to go to heaven, that it is only an additional 'shot in the arm'
for added power. Nothing could be farther from the truth than this teaching. For, did not
JESUS say, after His Resurrection, "ALL POWER"? Can you add power to ALL POWER?

Although the Holy Spirit has been identified by the symbols of fire, water and wind, the Holy
Spirit is actually the Life of GOD.

Others say the Holy Spirit is a fire in you, and there are times when you "cool off" in your
experience, so you must go to the altar and "rekindle" the fire, "get on fire for JESUS"
again.

Still others teach that the Holy Spirit is a liquid like water. First you get "a little Holy
Spirit", then you get "a little more" until you are filled. Then of course, the Holy Spirit
might "leak out?" or "evaporate", so you have to go back to the altar and get a "refill". Or,
like a gas tank, you run out of gas and have to have a refuel.

How sad it is to dishonor the Holy Spirit, the very Life of GOD. The Holy Spirit is not a
"power" that you can plug into and become recharged.

The Holy Spirit is the very Divine Nature of GOD.

Why should one even think that the holy Spirit comes in you and then leaves?

Does not the Scripture say:
"And I will give you another Comforter [the Holy Spirit Life], that He may abide with you
FOREVER"? [John 14:16]

Forever means He will NEVER LEAVE you. He is there to lead and guide you into ALL TRUTH or
to be a witness against you on the Day of Judgment.

How true the scriptures are which say, "My people are destroyed for the lack of, [POWER?
AUTHORITY? Or is it because the HOLY SPIRIT leaked out?] No, No, No, they are destroyed for
the LACK of KNOWLEDGE. [Hosea 3:6]

Devote your life to finding out what and whom the Holy Spirit is. Never go by what someone
tells you and that includes me. Follow up on the Chapters and Verses given here. See if they
are true and if they are change what you have always been told.

Now let me tell you that you will not find in the Bible anyone getting a refilling of the
Holy Spirit. You will not find a Holy Spirit person coming and going from anyone. There is
no such thing as a refilling of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is Life. Just as you
cannot receive a refilling of your human life then neither will you get refilled with the
Holy Spirit. This is the Life-Seed of Deity.

After one is begotten of the Holy Spirit, which is receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
there should be a Steady Growth. GOD does not have to begat you over and over again. This is
obnoxious and odious teaching. Sadly every day uninformed teachers of the Baptism of the Holy
Spirit insist that there are many refills or you just receive it and then everything will be
all right. Or worse yet is the explanation that is prevalent of a Holy Spirit person coming
into you.

When they cannot explain this it is a mystery!

You go figure it out or just believe them.

Remember if you are filled with the Holy Spirit and it departs from you then it won't be
refilling you again later. You will become an apostate and a reprobate. This is a deadly
happening and will be with you throughout eternity. Be careful of your teachings on this
and all subjects in the Bible.

How simple this is! The Father had seed to produce you, his son; now you also have life
-seed to produce your children.

There is only One Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Once you have received it, then you must start
a steady growth. Spiritual growth will come as you partake of spiritual food - the Word of
GOD.

This is a great truth. You will never give up childish things or sin habits, as long as you
remain a child. But as you grow up into knowledge of this new life, this simple
understanding of the seed life, which is the origin of spiritual life, you will begin to
realize that only Begotten Life has the ability to grow.

So many people have been deceived. They think, because they received the Baptism of the Holy
Spirit, they do not need guidance. They have now received all power and all knowledge and
they will not need teaching.

Suddenly they become teachers, preachers, miracle workers, and unteachable. They become
proud, filled with a spirit of disrespect, insubordination, and a debatable spirit.

How sad it is that many thousands of people have been misled to believe deception - a false
doctrine. Many after receiving the Holy Spirit become disillusioned because they were told
they now had power to overcome, to be free from every weakness, and it did not happen. Then
they begin to question: What is wrong with me? Have I misunderstood something? Maybe I didn't
receive the Holy Spirit after all. Where is all that dynamic power I was to receive? What a
disappointment.

Receiving the Holy Spirit does not suddenly make you a Bible authority. It does not open
your brain and you know all things. Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding of the Bible come with
study and dedication to the Word of GOD.

To receive the Holy Spirit Power [Authority] then it will take growth. Obedience to GOD'S
Word and time. Sadly we live in a day when time seems to be hard to come by. Yet we find time
for everything else we want to do or have to do. The next time you are too tired to study or
don't have time then try that on your job. Be too tired to go to work and stay home. After
all this is an earthly thing. Leave off the latest party or those things, which take you
away from His Word. Study before you become too tired or without time left for His Word. Pray
for others before you need prayer yourself.

Bow your knees and ask the LORD for Understanding and He will hear you. Make time
for Him and He will make time for you. Remember to make the time before it is to late. We heard
a song that said, "Eternity goes on Forever". That is a true statement. We need to put in far
more effort on our eternal life that on this life that will be over shortly no matter what
your age. Don't spend this short time being deceived by false doctrines.

How much truth does it take to go to heaven?

May GOD Richly and Abundantly Bless You All,

One day Brother Kolenda asked me this question, "How long is eternity"? It was one of those questions that
you cannot answer for we can't comprehend it but it set you to thinking about eternity. Right after this we
heard the song he mentioned above. It will give you much pause for thought. Many say that this is not something
they can think about. It is depressing and scary.

Just stop and think, what will happen if you don't think about it. Put it on the front burner. It is the most
important thinking we will ever do for ourselves.

Many are so busy saving the world and going house to house or person to person that they fail to study to
show their own selves approved of GOD.

Am I trying to scare you? No just trying to encourage you to take good care of your life first and then those
that hear you. The more knowledge and understanding that you have the less fear you will feel as you see the time
approaching. Knowledge and Understanding brings joy. It makes the hard times easier to bear and it is also your
only way to help others. Get in on your share of GOD'S Word today.

Proverbs, poems and/or Feel Goods

Teen Creed

Don't let your parents down,
They brought you up
Be humble enough to obey,
You may have to give orders someday.

Choose companions with care,
You become what they are.
Guard your thoughts,
What you think, you are.

Choose only a date
Who would make a good mate

Be master of your habits,
Or they will master you.
Don't be a show off when you drive,
Drive with safety and arrive.

Don't let the crowd pressure you,
Stand for something or
You'll fall for anything.
