If you do not have the gifts of the Holy Spirit, then get baptized

[Sue D.]

Jonah was running from going to Nineveh and got on a ship going the opposite way. The men in the ship threw him overboard and the great fish swallowed him. And after three days in the belly of the great fish it him out and he was willing to go to Nineveh like God had told him to.

The woman with the issue of blood , she touched the hem of Jesus robe and He felt power leaving Him -- He told her that her faith had made her whole.

What did you mean by your comment about "building a fire" in your first paragraph.

Greetings in the Lord
Psalms 104
He makes His ministers a flaming fire.
Matt 3:11
...he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Like 3:16
...He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

Jonah 1:3
...from the presence of the Lord,
Jonah 1:10
...For the men knew that that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.

The woman with the issue of blood, perhaps read it again and hear with your heart.
You know she was viewed as unclean because she was bleeding. It is not permitted for a man to touch a woman while in season, it was unclean.
Now, God requires us to be washed in His blood, being cleansed, and be made white as snow.

All praise glory and honor be unto God. Amen

Salvation comes when one opens the door of their heart and ask God to enter in; set up camp, pitch a tent, and build a fire, I asked Him, and He did.
True salvation comes from the bottom of a very dark pit.
Our life isn't pretty and happy and comfortable.

Remember Jonah crying out from the belly of a whale, and God heard him, and saved him from death. Jonah willing ran from God, and put the whole ship in harm.

The woman with the issue of blood believed Jesus could heal her. She struggled to get through the crowd, pushing her way to the front of the pack, coming from behind, she reaches out and touches the Him of His robe. That tells me she was on her face, crying to the Lord. The Lord knew He had been touched for virtue went out of Him. Everyone else was touching Him to, to no avail. Yes but she touched Him in faith. And He told her, woman your faith has made you whole.

Have you ever pursued Him with such as passion, believing if I can just touch his hem...He will make me whole?
FAITH is an amazing gift. We all have been given a measure, but we have to exercise our faith.

All praise glory and honor be unto God. Amen

Love it !!

@ watertolove. -- it's the Context of the verses thst makes a difference. And the woman with the issue of blood. It seems that you're assuming some works involved for a person's salvation.

Greetings in the Lord
No it's the Holy Ghost that lives in me that makes the difference.
Show me your faith without works.
I'll show you my faith, by my works.

Search the scriptures, for in them you think you have life.
Only because the Holy Ghost lives in me/us does life come.
It is not I that lives, but He that lives in me.

God first, always.
All praise glory and honor be unto God. Amen

@ watertolive-- you're not really responding to my comments. And it's the Holy Spirit not Holy Ghost.
The Holy Spirit comes to indwell a person upon their salvation. Enjoy the rest of your day.

 

[B-A-C]

it's the Holy Spirit not Holy Ghost.

The old King James says "Holy Ghost" over 85 times. I believe it means the same thing as "Holy Spirit", but that's a term used by newer translations.

 

[Sue D.]

Yes. It does mean rhe same thing. I use the NKJV

Greetings in the Lord

Do you know you are showing the same fruits as a Pharisee?
Jesus called them hypocrites.

Do all things as you were doing them unto God.
Because you just did.
Proud and high minded will get you no where with God; but in trouble with the Lord.
I know you won't ask for it, but I forgive you.
Humble yourself and ask Father to forgive you.

God first, always.
All praise glory and honor be unto God. Amen

Greetings in the Lord

But wilt thou know, o vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the alter?
Seest thou how faith wright with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

Well here you won't believe me, go read it for yourself.
James 20-24

Approved Workman

Remind the believers of these things, charging them before God
to avoid quarreling over words, which succeeds only in leading the listeners to ruin.

Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.

But avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness, 17and the talk of such men will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18who have deviated from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already occurred, and they undermine the faith of some.

In what way am I being proud and high minded. What am I supposed to be asking forgiveness for?!

Yes once you try to converse with them 3 times and they can not receive you, cut them loose. I agree.
